CD Review: "John Lennon & the Plastic Ono Band Live in Toronto ’69”
John Lennon took wife Yoko Ono to the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival in the fall of 1969 and introduced her to his childhood heroes — Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard. John and Yoko then shared the stage with those legends, introducing to the world their hastily assembled Plastic Ono Band — guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Klaus Voorman and drummer Alan White — and it was all caught on film by Oscar-nominated documentarian D.A. Pennebaker ("Don’t Look Back,” "Monterey Pop”). "OK, we’re just gonna do numbers that we know, y’know, ’cause we’ve never played together before,” Lennon told the cheering throng before the band kicked into a gloriously ragged rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes” and an even rougher rendition of "Money,” while Yoko inexplicably threw a white sheet over her head and sat down on the stage. Also included are his cover of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy,” the originals "Yer Blues” and "Cold Turkey” (during which Yoko whinnied a lot), and the Lennons’ rousing antiwar plea, "Give Peace a Chance.” Unfortunately, the program ends with a couple of screechy Yoko Ono exhibitions — "Don’t Worry Kyoko (Mummy’s Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)” and "John, John (Let’s Hope for Peace)” — but the film remains a significant historical document in rock annals, as the show was the first clear signal that the Beatles had ended. — Gene Triplett
