"The pair of shows at Madison Square Garden in 1972 - to a combined audience of 40,000 people, raising more than $1.5 million for disabled children - have become the stuff of legend that people still talk about more than 54 years later - so if you ever wanted to experience the shows, now's your chance."
"It was a concert that had a legendary status in my mind, because it was my dad's last concert. I remember wanting a Les Paul because he played a Les Paul during that show. I feel very grateful I got to work on it because he did plan on touring, and he didn't get to, so all we've got is this concert."
"Every frame of the footage has been physically and digitally cleaned by hand. The version itself has been restored, re-edited, and remixed by Lennon and Yoko Ono's Grammy award-winning team, which is led by their son, Sean Ono Lennon."
John Lennon and Yoko Ono's historic 1972 "Power to the People" concerts at Madison Square Garden are coming to theaters this spring. The two-night event drew 40,000 people and raised over $1.5 million for disabled children. These performances represent the only full-length concerts Lennon performed after The Beatles disbanded. The film has been meticulously restored with every frame physically and digitally cleaned by hand, re-edited, and remixed by Sean Ono Lennon's Grammy award-winning team. The setlist featured Lennon classics including "Imagine," "Instant Karma!," and "Mother," alongside Yoko Ono's performances and appearances by special guests including Stevie Wonder and Sha Na Na.
