Detail :	The first official L.P. release of the live One to One concert 14 years earlier, on 30th August 1972. Credited to John Lennon Personnel: John - Vocals, guitar and keyboards Yoko - Keyboards Wayne "Tex" Gabriel - Lead guitar John Ward - Bass Gary Van Scyoc - Bass Jim Keltner - Drums Rick Frank - Drums Adam Ippolito - Keyboards Stan Bronstein - Saxophone On 30th August 1972 John (and those listed above) performed two concerts in aid of The Willowbrook School for Children. There was an afternoon and evening performance with John's appearance lasting about one hour and ten minutes. On this live album, the last three tracks are from the evening show, the rest of the album is from the afternoon performance. Interestingly, for this release, Yoko deliberately mixes out her vocals, and cuts out her own songs. The opening track actually starts with John singing "Power To The People" for about 15 seconds before the guitars swing in to "New York City". Both of these appearances were filmed. The video of the concert was released at the same time and contained different edits of the songs, and included Yoko`s solo renditions. It was on PMI Home Video, catalogue number MVP 99 1115 2 The concert had been organized by Geraldo Rivera and also included Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack and Sha Na Na. John bought 60,000 dollars worth of tickets himself, which he gave away to the volunteer fund-raisers. The event was a financial success, raising $1,500,000. The cover photograph was by Bob Gruen
