Live Peace in Toronto 1969 is a live album recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at a rock and roll revival show as The Plastic Ono Band. Featuring Eric Clapton on guitar (fresh from the breakup 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 conceptual grouping that included Lennon and Ono and whoever happened to be backing them up.

The album is technically a soundtrack recording, being part of the audio portion of D.A. Pennebaker's documentary movie Sweet Toronto. Lennon and Ono made a deal with Pennebaker to license their portion of the show for record, in exchange for rights to include their appearance. Unfortunately the deal fell through, with Lennon and Ono changing their minds about the inclusion (Lennon had been ill the day of the concert, and it showed on camera), and the movie was never originally released. (Showtime ultimately presented the performance during the 1980s, and the full movie appeared later on home video and DVD.)

Live Peace in Toronto 1969 was initially split into two parts for LP and tape: 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. The performance ends with Lennon, Clapton and Voorman leaning their guitars against the amplifiers creating a sustain roar of solid feedback while Yoko continues screaming and the rest of the band leave the stage. The Beatles were a highly influential English rock band from Liverpool. ...

Unlike many Lennon and Beatles albums, the individual guitars are clearly distinguishable in the stereo mix, with Lennon's toward the left channel and Clapton's toward the right. Also, the movie mix of the soundtrack offers stronger vocals by Ono during "Yer Blues", and Clapton during "Give Peace A Chance".

In the Performance of "Give Peace a Chance" on the lyric of the final verse, John changes it:

Everybody's talkin' about

John And Yoko, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann,

Penny Lane, Roosevelt, Nixon,

Tommy Jones and Tommy Cooper and Somebody!.

Live Peace in Toronto 1969, though not making the UK listings, was a US hit album, reaching #10 and going gold. The original LP came with a 13 month 1970 calendar. Those who purchased one of the three tape versions (reel to reel, cassette or 8-track) received a post card for the calendar redeemable by mail.

The album was released to quash any bootleg versions that Lennon was sure would leak onto the market. Yoko Ono supervised a remixing of Live Peace in Toronto 1969 for its 1995 CD reissue. Currently the album is exclusively available from audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (UDCD 763).
