Live Peace in Toronto 1969
''Live Peace in Toronto 1969'' is a live album by the Plastic Ono Band, released on Apple in the United Kingdom and the United States, in December 1969. Recorded at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival, it was the first live album released by any member of the Beatles separately or together. John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono received a phone call from the festival's promoters John Brower and Kenny Walker, and then quickly assembled a band in a very short space of time to play at the festival, which was due to start the following day. The group had brief rehearsals before appearing on the stage to perform several songs; one of which, "Cold Turkey", was first performed live at said festival. Eventually returning home, Lennon mixed the album in a day.
The album peaked at number 10 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and has been certified a gold album by the RIAA,〔(''Live Peace in Toronto'' RIAA website retrieved 09-12-10 ).〕 and failed to chart in the UK. The original LP came with a thirteen-month 1970 calendar. A video of several performances, not just the Plastic Ono Band's set, was released on video. Since its first release, the album has been reissued a number of times.
==Background==
Toronto rock promoters John Brower and Kenny Walker organised a festival held at Varsity Stadium on 13 September 1969, around the notion of a revival of rock and roll stars from the 1950s, booking Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, and Gene Vincent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Lennon Discography )〕 They also booked more modern acts such as Alice Cooper, Chicago, and The Doors,〔 and contacted Lennon to see if he would be willing to be the master of ceremonies.〔 Lennon responded that if he came over at all, it would be to play〔〔Lewisohn 2000, p. 332〕 "only if you let me bring my new band so we can play." Lennon hastily assembled a band under the Plastic Ono Band moniker, consisting of Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, and drummer Alan White,〔 as well as their assistants, Anthony Fawcett, Terry Doran, and Jill and Dan Richter, to accompany himself and Ono.〔 White got a phone call from Lennon, and assumed it was a friend prank calling him, only realising it was actually Lennon after a second call.〔 White would later call the band line-up "very unique": "This voice on the phone said, 'Do you want to do a gig with me – it's John Lennon'. The Plastic Ono Band was John and Yoko, Klaus Voormann, Eric Clapton and myself. It was a unique band." Lennon also asked George Harrison, but Harrison turned down the offer.〔
On the morning of the scheduled flight, a day before the concert, on 12 September, Lennon, Ono, and Clapton were not at the airport.〔 At this point, Clapton had not been aware of the concert, nor of Lennon contacting him.〔〔 Brower had managed to get through to Clapton and told him to contact Lennon and Ono, who were still in bed.〔 Clapton said he got "a phone call on the day we were to leave and he said that someone had asked him to do that concert and it was that night! So I had to make the airport in an hour."〔 The group had two rehearsals:〔 one was during the transatlantic flight from London to Toronto,〔〔 and the other shortly before appearing on stage at the actual festival.〔Blaney 2005, p. 37〕 Lennon said the group "didn't know what to play", as they had not previously performed together.〔 Also on the flight, Lennon gained the confidence, that when he got back to England, to leave the Beatles.〔 Lennon told this to Clapton, and shortly afterwards, to the Beatles' then-manager, Allen Klein.〔
