Live Peace in Toronto 1969 is a live album recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at a rock and roll revival show as The Plastic Ono Band.

Live Peace in Toronto 1969, though not making the UK listings, was a US hit album, reaching #10 and going gold.

Formed in 1969, the Plastic Ono band initially served as an alternative outlet for John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono during the fractious final days of the Beatles.
The band's debut single, "Give Peace A Chance", was recorded live in a Montreal hotel room during the much-publicized "Bed-In" and featured an assortment of underground luminaries attending this unconventional anti-war protest.
Bereft of the cosy sentiments of "Give Peace A Chance", this tough rocker failed to emulate its predecessor's number 2 position, a fact noted by Lennon when he returned his MBE in protest at British passivity over conflicts in Biafra and Vietnam.

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.
