  Live Peace in Toronto 1969 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Live Peace in Toronto 1969 is a live album recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 in Toronto, Canada, at a rock and roll revival show as The Plastic Ono Band.
Live Peace in Toronto 1969 was initially split into two parts for LP and tape: John's set, which included some of his favorite 1950's songs, among The Beatles' "Yer Blues" and a preview of the impending "Cold Turkey", and Yoko's set, featuring her trademark caterwauling, which was not as well received as Lennon's performance.
Live Peace in Toronto 1969, though not making the UK listings, was a US hit album, reaching #10 and going gold.

 Rolling Stone : Live Peace In Toronto, 1969 : Review
LIVE r Than You'll Ever Be, the album of the Stones' Oakland performance, is superb.
With Abbey Road; Two Virgins; Life With the Lions; "Give Peace a Chance"; rock and roll's first day-after-Thanksgiving single, "Cold Turkey"; The Wedding Album; and now Live Peace, he and Yoko are simply documenting their careers, musical and personal, with a total abandonment of privacy and complete genuflection to The Public.
This is, oddly, the first live album ever recorded by a Beatle; save for a brief snatch of John singing "Twist and Shout" on The Beatles Story, this side is as close as we've gotten to a record of the Beatles on stage.

"Live Peace In Toronto" captures John Lennon and a hastly assembled group of players in a raw rare live performance at Toronto's Rock and Roll Revival Festival on September 13th 1969.
What follows is a full-throttle assault on the Toronto crowd beginning with the jamming "Don't Worry Kyoko" in which Yoko cackles, wails and screams while the band jams on a repeated four-chord riff.
Live Peace In Toronto is a great album, but it's also very rough and if you prefer the polished studio versions of these songs, then you might want to listen to them again instead of listening to this album.

Live Peace in Toronto 1969 [Apple, 1969] C
The anti-Yoko reaction has long since passed beyond boorishness, but that doesn't mean I want to hear her keen for 20 minutes, and the rock side is raw and badly recorded, with Clapton's masterful lead obscured by Lennon's rhythm.
Half caterwauling live weirdness with the Mothers of Invention, half tuneless topical rock songs with Elephant's Memory, this is where Lennon risks his charisma instead of investing it.

 John & Yoko Live peace in Toronto
And on top of everything, of course, John, as I said before, hadn't appeared on stage for three long years, except for a live show at Cambridge with Yoko, a performance which was recorded as one of the highlights on their album "Life with the Lions".
With Yoko, John has a freedom and a means to expand in many different directions, the Plastic Ono Band providing the perfect outlet for their individual and combined talents, and releasing a blend of sound from stage or record player to suit everyone's aural or visual palate.
The stage was a 12 foot dais in the middle of the pitch facing half of the arena where the audience would sit: Immediately we arrived at the stadium I began to feel all the tremendous excitement of the old touring days.

 CANOE -- JAM! Music: Live Review: Our Lady Peace in Toronto
TORONTO - On Sunday evening, Our Lady Peace played literally one of the biggest stages around by opening for the Rolling Stones in Ottawa.
But Monday night the group was in the cozy Toronto confines of a sold-out Mod Club for an intimate and rather impressive 15-song, 80-minute gig.
With the audience in the palms of their hand, Our Lady Peace doled out a string of favourites, including Somewhere Out There and 4 a.m., which again immediately created one huge campfire-like sing-along as Maida sat down on Taggart's drum riser.

 Live Peace In Toronto
John and Yoko were invited to appear at the Toronto "Rock 'n' Roll Revival Concert", so at very short notice, they got together a band and flew out to Toronto on 12th September 1969.
John starts off by explaining to the audience that they are only going to play songs they know, as they haven't been together long, and they kick off with some classic rock 'n' roll.
After "Yer Blues", Yoko introduces "Cold Turkey" as a new song, and it was then performed live for the very first time.

Most listeners, if they have come across Yoko Ono's music at all, remember the squeals of her "bag" music on Side 2 of Live Peace in Toronto 1969, the intense B-sides found on early-'70s John Lennon singles or as Lennon's equal partner on Some Time in New York City and Double Fantasy.
Ono came to her marriage with Lennon a fully formed artist and composer, a member of the Fluxus group who had collaborated with John Cage, LaMonte Young, Ornette Coleman and Charlie Haden.

It was a long three years that led up to The Toronto Rock’n’Roll Revival, held over the weekend of September 13, 1969, and it was perfect that it was due to a transatlantic miscommunication that The Plastic Ono Band wound up performing at all.

I've got the live album from this set (one studio, one live), and it's an unlistenable mess, with Yoko screaming her head off through most of the sloppy, pointless big-band jamming, which alternately features an all-star British pickup band, or Frank Zappa's post-Mothers group (the tapes came from two different concerts).
