Synopsis by Mark Deming
In 1969, John Lennon made his split from the Beatles official by making his first concert appearance as a solo act; appearing with the hastily assembled Plastic Ono Band (featuring Eric Clapton on guitar), he performed at a rock festival in Toronto on a bill featuring some of the greatest performers of the first rock era. This D.A. Pennebaker documentary of the show features one song each from Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard, as well as Lennon's complete set.
