Live Peace In Toronto 1969 ia a live album recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 in Toronto, Canada. Featuring Eric Clapton on guitar (fresh from the break-up of Blind Faith), Klaus Voormann on bass and future Yes drummer Alan White on drums, the line-up is filled out by Lennon on lead vocals and rhythm guitar and Ono on vocals. The album was credited to The Plastic Ono Band, a fictitious grouping that included Lennon and Ono and whoever happened to be backing them up. Both Lennon and Ono would use the nomenclature for several of their future solo albums.
Live Peace In Toronto 1969 was split into two parts: John's set, which included some of his favorite 1950's songs, among The Beatles' "Yer Blues" and a preview of the impending "Cold Turkey", and Yoko's set, featuring her trademark caterwauling, which was not as well received as Lennon's performance.
Live Peace In Toronto 1969, though not making the UK listings, was a US hit album, reaching #10 and going gold.
Yoko Ono supervised a remixing of Live Peace In Toronto 1969 for its 1995 CD reissue, though it is currently out of print.
