- I'm only reviewing the first six songs which are the ones which John sing: Blue Suede Shoes, Money, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Yer Blues, Cold Turkey, and Give Peace A Chance. Considering this was a 1969 ' Live Out-Door Concert ' the sound is remarkable. You can actually ' hear ' John's rhythm guitar, in addition to the bass & drums.

Live Peace in Toronto 1969, by John, Eric, Yoko and friends, was bootlegged for a short time in Michigan, but Apple has put out the real thing, a sort of John Lennon Tour Through the History of.
The Plastic Ono Band.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. With the appearance due the following day, the first chance for rehearsal was at the rear of a Boeing 707 ! (anyone out there on that flight that experienced a free Lennon gig ??)
John's entourage included, Eric Clapton, Alan White, Klaus Voorman with a number of assistants.

The concert was in front of a crowd of 25,000 at the Varsity Stadium, and also included such rock 'n' roll luminaries as, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and Bo Diddley.
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. It was recorded as a single a couple of weeks later. For the intro to 'Give Peace A Chance' John warns the crowd that he can remember the chorus but not all the bits in-between !
Side two starts with 'Don't Worry Kyoko', also being performed live for the first time.
The final track 'John John', first appeared on the 'The Wedding Album'. On this version, Yoko does her thing over the sounds of feedback generated by the guitars of John, Eric and Klaus who eventually leave their guitars leaning against the speakers, therefore leaving the feedback sounds. They move to the centre of the stage, light up a cigarette then walk off. Mal Evans walks on, and one by one turns off the amplifiers.

The album sleeve was once again designed by John Kosh, and first editions included a John and Yoko calendar for 1970. The calendar had pictures, poems and songs. The poems were taken from John and Yoko's printed works, and some are those that John had performed on the Beatles fan club Christmas disc of 1968.
On the sleeve is this single sleeve note :
'Being born in Scotland carries with it certain responsibilities' - Derek Taylor

If the three experimental albums had not appeared prior to this release, I`m sure it would have charted ... but as it was, it became John's fourth release to fail to chart.
Live Peace in Toronto 1969 is a 1969 live album recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, as the Plastic Ono Band, at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival. Featuring Eric Clapton on guitar (fresh from the breakup of Blind Faith), Klaus Voormann on bass and future Yes drummer Alan White (who a few months later would provide the drums on the percussion-driven Plastic Ono Band single, 'Instant Karma!') on drums, the line-up is filled out by Lennon on lead vocals and rhythm guitar and Ono on vocals. The album was credited to The Plastic Ono Band, a conceptual grouping that included Lennon and Ono and whoever happened to be backing them up at that particular moment. Both Lennon and Ono would use the nomenclature for several of their future solo albums.The album is technically a soundtrack recording, being part of the audio portion of D.A. Pennebaker's documentary movie Sweet Toronto. Lennon and Ono made a deal with Pennebaker to license their portion of the show for record, in exchange for rights to include their appearance. Unfortunately the deal fell through, with Lennon and Ono changing their minds about the inclusion (Lennon had been ill the day of the concert, and it showed on camera), and the movie was never originally released. (Showtime ultimately presented the performance during the 1980s, and the full movie appeared later on home video and DVD.)
As initially released on LP and later cassette tape, 8-track and on video cassette, side one of Live Peace in Toronto 1969 comprised John's set, which included his two Plastic Ono Band singles for the year, 'Give Peace A Chance' and a preview of the yet-to-be released at the time of the show 'Cold Turkey;' 'Yer Blues' from the White Album; and some favoured covers of 1950s rock and roll. Side two comprised Yoko's set, including the b-side to 'Cold Turkey,' 'Don't Worry Kyoko,' and featuring her trademark caterwauling stage act, which was not quite as well received as Lennon's performance. The album ends with Lennon, Clapton, and Voorman leaning their guitars against the amplifiers to create a sustained roar of solid feedback, while Yoko continues screaming as the rest of the band leaves the stage.
On the video cassette, Eric Clapton can clearly be seen looking at John Lennon with a look of horror on his face as Yoko starts her caterwauling. Additionally, as the band are leaning their guitars against the amplifiers to create the feedback, Clapton breaks the fourth wall by looking directly into the camera and rolling his eyes in frustration at Yoko's performance.
Unlike many Lennon and Beatles albums, the individual guitars are clearly distinguishable in the stereo mix, with Lennon's toward the left channel and Clapton's toward the right. Also, the movie mix of the soundtrack offers stronger vocals by Ono during 'Yer Blues', and Clapton during 'Give Peace A Chance'. On the contrary, Lennon's guitar is hardly audible on the movie.
Admitting he could not remember the recorded lyrics ('I've forgotton all those bits in between, but I know the chorus'), Lennon improvised words to 'Give Peace A Chance':
Everybody's talkin' about
John And Yoko, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann,
Penny Lane, Roosevelt, Nixon,
Tommy Jones and Tommy Cooper and Somebody!.

Live Peace in Toronto 1969, though not making the British charts, was a US hit album, reaching #10 and going gold. The original LP came with a thirteen-month 1970 calendar. Tape versions of the album included a mail-in coupon for the calendar.The album was released to quash any bootleg versions that Lennon was sure would leak onto the market. EMI was reluctant at first to issue the album, after two commercial failures in a row (Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions and Wedding Album) from Lennon and Ono. (Their first effort, Two Virgins, was distributed by Track Records, and had also failed commercially.) The album's success came as a pleasant surprise, changing EMI's perceptions.

Yoko Ono supervised a remixing of Live Peace in Toronto 1969 for its 1995 CD reissue. While the earlier fadeout between sides was eliminated for compact disc, the original ending to the album (a cut-off closing announcement) was eliminated. The CD booklet included a reproduction of the calendar, updated to 1995.
