John Lennon introduced the finale thusly: "For our last number I'd like to ask your help: Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry..."  The incident came to mind because, when Lady GaGa met the Queen and performed in a red latex Elizabethan gown, she too asked the audience to rattle their jewelry.
