| | John Lennon : Live Peace in Toronto, 1969 (35th Anniversary) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Although one of the world's best-kept secrets at the time, this was John Lennon's declaration of independence from the Beatles, the document of a concert appearance at Toronto's Rock and Roll Revival festival about a month after the conclusion of the Abbey Road sessions. |
 | | Thrown together literally on the wing (they rehearsed only on the flight from England), the ad-hoc band consisting of Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton on guitar, Klaus Voorman on bass, and Alan White on drums hit the stage to the surprise and delight of the thousands who packed Varsity Stadium. |
 | | Lennon is in fine vocal form, confident and funny despite his frequent apologies, while Ono confines her caterwauling to "Cold Turkey." That was side one of the original LP. |
