Power To The People: Commemorating John Lennon and Yoko Ono's One to One Benefit Concert
Fifty-three years ago, John Lennon and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band headlined the One to One Benefit Concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. To commemorate this event, a never-before-seen video of John's solo hit, "Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)," from the afternoon performance has been released. The video has been restored and edited, with the audio remixed and re-engineered by a Grammy Award-winning team. This video is a preview of the upcoming box set, POWER TO THE PEOPLE (The Ultimate Collection), which will be released on October 10, one day after what would have been John's 85th birthday. The box set explores John and Yoko's political activism, peace anthems, and their early years in New York City. The concert raised over $1.5 million to support children with disabilities and marked John and Yoko's last performance together.
