The Plastic Ono Band

Live Peace in Toronto 1969

£31.99

Released: 8th May 2026. 'Live Peace in Toronto 1969' was recorded at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival held at Varsity Stadium, at the University of Toronto on 13 September 1969. John & Yoko were invited by promoters John Brower and Kenny Walker, and hastily assembled the Plastic Ono Band (Eric Clapton: guitar, Klaus Voormann: bass, and Alan White: drums) in time to play at the festival the following day. The band's rehearsals took place entirely acoustically on the flight to Toronto from London. The Plastic Ono Band played eight songs to the 25,000 strong crowd. They were introduced by Kim Fowley, and John said to the crowd that the group were going to play only songs that they knew. John's then latest song, 'Cold Turkey', and Yoko's 'Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)' had their first public outings at the festival. The band closed with an extended experimental jam, 'John, John (Let's Hope for Peace)' the end of which saw the band leaving their instruments onstage to feedback until turned off by the Lennons' personal assistant, Mal Evans.
