This is the edition to experience, too, because, according to a press release, 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.
The “Power to the People” setlist includes Lennon’s songs like “Instant Karma!,” “New York City,” “Mother,” and “Imagine,” as well as Ono’s “Open Your Box” and “Don’t Worry Kyoko.” The concert also featured a number of special guests, such as Sha Na Na, Melanie Safka-Schekeryk, and Stevie Wonder.
“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,” Ono Lennon said in a press release.
The upcoming film release of POWER TO THE PEOPLE: John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and Special Guests – Live at the One To One Concert, New York City, 1972 follows the 12-disc box set Power to the People on October 10th, 2025. Released on Lennon’s 85th birthday, the set celebrated he and Ono’s political activism during their early years in New York City.
April 2025 also saw the release of the documentary One to One: John & Yoko, focusing on their prep for the “Power to the People” concerts.
