"The live footage is an immersive split-screen film whose edit was overseen by Sean Ono Lennon, showcasing historical performances that were Lennon's only full-length concerts after the Beatles' split."
"Ono's performance of the bizarre Open Your Box is certainly arresting, while heartfelt versions of Imagine and a truly apocalyptic rendering of Cold Turkey stand out among the setlist."
"The concerts aimed to raise money for children abused at Willowbrook State School, and they helped change the law to underscore the civil rights of people in children's homes."
"The best track for me though is the first: New York City, John and Yoko's homage to the city that offered them sanctuary and respite but would be the site of the terrible catastrophe eight years later."
