The album documents John Lennon's first live performance apart from the Beatles.
The original release included a 1970 calendar with photographs of John and Yoko.
Some of the calendars were bound with wire, some were bound with plastic, while others were bound with a saddle staple. This one feels through the cover like it is wire bound
Although one of the world's best-kept secrets at the time, this was John Lennon's declaration of independence from the Beatles, the document of a concert appearance at Toronto's Rock and Roll Revival Festival about a month after the conclusion of the Abbey Road sessions.
Thrown together literally on the wing (they rehearsed only on the flight from England), the ad-hoc band consisting of Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton on guitar, Klaus Voorman on bass, and Alan White on drums hit the stage to the surprise and delight of the thousands who packed Varsity Stadium.
"We're just going to do numbers we know, you know, because we've never played together before," confesses Lennon, who was reportedly extremely nervous before going on. But the repertoire was a piece of cake for a quartet of seasoned rockers -- blues-based oldies ("Blue Suede Shoes," "Money," "Dizzy Miss Lizzie") and basic then-recent Lennon numbers ("Yer Blues," "Cold Turkey," "Give Peace a Chance") -- and they lay it down in a dignified, noisy, glorified garage band manner. Lennon is in fine vocal form, confident and funny despite his frequent apologies. Yoko introduces her wailing vocals on "Cold Turkey," which dominate later tracks like "Don't Worry Kyoko" and "John John (Let's Hope for Peace)" -- the former backed with plodding rock rhythms and the latter with feedback
