John Lennon, Yoko Ono Concert Film Headed To Theaters

A John Lennon and Yoko Ono concert film is set to come to big screens worldwide this spring.

The film, officially titled Power to the People: John and Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant's Memory and Special Guests - Live at the One To One Concert, New York City, 1972, was recorded during two concerts that took place at Madison Square Garden in New York in 1972.

They represent the only full-length concerts John Lennon, with Yoko Ono, performed after leaving The Beatles.

According to press materials, the restoration to bring the concerts to the big screen has been "20 years in the making, with every frame physically and digitally cleaned by hand."

In a statement, Sean Ono Lennon said, "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 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."
