Movie Reviews of John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band: Live in Toronto '69
Movie Review: A joy in every respect
Summary: 5 Stars
Shout Factory is to be thanked for releasing this wonderful documentary film of the Live Peace in Toronto LP on DVD. It opens with an interview with Yoko Ono at an art show of John's work in 1988 (the music in the gallery is "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young). The film turns to the rock 'n' roll revival artists the concert was arranged to display: Bo Diddley (the first part of his song is played as John and Yoko's limousine moves from the airport to the concert grounds), then the energetic Jerry Lee Lewis pounding on the piano, and finally Little Richard, who's a bit less over the top than usual. Then the sun is down and the Plastic Ono Band takes the stage: John and Yoko, as well as Eric Clapton on guitar, Klaus Voormann on bass, and Alan White on drums. Anyone who knows the album will recall the entire set, but it's great to see them playing live. The Plastic Ono Band's appearance was arranged quickly (according to Clapton's autobiography, John called him and asked, "What are you doing tonight?"), and John needs a crib sheet held by Yoko for the lyrics to "Cold Turkey," which had just been written. Fans of Yoko's will be pleased to know that she is fully represented on the DVD, with only the last few minutes of "John, John (Let's Hope for Peace)" cut off. Clapton's strongest guitar work is on Yoko's "Don't Worry Kyoko." John looks most assured singing a ferocious version of "Money" (a song whose lyrics contradict the values he espoused). Director D. A. Pennebaker offers a true film here, not just a video of the concert appearance. Length is 50 minutes.
Summary of John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band: Live in Toronto '69
John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band Live In Toronto ?69 is a rare look at one of the world?s most influential popular artists at a pivotal moment in his career. Filmed on the eve of the release of the Abbey Road LP ? the last Beatles album to be recorded ? this is the only performance ever caught on film of John Lennon & the Plastic Ono Band. It had been three years since Lennon had performed onstage with The Beatles. Seemingly on a whim, John and wife Yoko Ono hopped on a plane with guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Klaus Voormann and drummer Alan White to travel to the Toronto Rock ?N? Roll Revival festival showcasing some of Lennon?s early musical heroes ? among them Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. As it turned out, Lennon and the newly formed Plastic Ono Band played an equally significant role that night in the history of rock ?n? roll, as it is widely believed this concert foreshadowed the official end of The Beatles. Captured by Academy AwardŽ?nominated director D.A. Pennebaker (The War Room, Don?t Look Back, Monterey Pop), this concert film serves as one of the great historical documents in the career and life of John Lennon.Similar DVD Movies
