John Lennon’s final and only full-length solo concert after leaving The Beatles is highlighted in a new Four-Track EP, POWER TO THE PEOPLE – Live at the One To One Concert, New York City, 1972.
Exclusively for Record Store Day 2025 on April 12. Pressed on 180-gram yellow vinyl, the EP includes three previously unreleased tracks from the historic ‘One To One’ benefit concerts featuring John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and Special Guests
On August 30, 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, backed by Elephant’s Memory, and joined by special guests, headlined two historic One to One Benefit Concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
These performances included an afternoon matinee and an evening performance, to a combined audience of 40,000 people, raising more than $1.5 million to support children with special needs, including children from the Willowbrook State School in Staten Island, N.Y, a state-supported institution for mentally handicapped children that gained national infamy after the horrible conditions and questionable medical practices the children endured were exposed to the public.
These were John’s only full-length solo concerts after leaving The Beatles.
Power To The People – Live At The One To One Concert, New York City, 1972, presents four songs from the afternoon and evening concerts on 180-gram yellow vinyl, available exclusively for Record Store Day 2025, April 12.
