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.
