Revival69: The Concert That Rocked the World (2022)
“Revival69: The Concert That Rocked the World”, is the remarkable, behind-the-scenes story of how a little known music festival came together against all odds. Young, scrappy concert promoter John Brower puts his life on the line to turn his failing Toronto Rock n Roll Revival into a one-day event, later coined in rock mythology as “the second most important event in rock n’ roll history.” And it almost didn’t happen. The festival united rock legends and the almost famous, but it was the 11th hour arrival of John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band that ignited a truly seminal moment for the 20,000 fans at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium, triggering Lennon’s final decision to leave the Beatles forever.

John Lennon – Plastic Ono Band (2008)
Decades later it’s a little hard to appreciate just how shocking Plastic Ono Band was at the time of its release. Yes, John Lennon’s first post-Beatles solo album is still a must-own for any rock fan, but decades of punk, metal, and grunge have desensitized our ears somewhat to the naked howls of despair that fill tracks like “Mother,” “Isolation,” and “I Found Out.” In addition, “I don’t believe in Beatles,” the climactic line of “God,” doesn’t have nearly the resonance as it did around the time of the Fab Four’s breakup, when such a sentiment practically bordered on heresy. And yet it’s a testament to the high quality of Lennon’s songs that Plastic Ono Band continues to be an incredibly moving listening experience.
