Revival69: The Concert That Rocked the World

The documentary is about a festival held in Toronto in 1969. It was called the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival. Well known names of the period took the stage. Chuck Berry and Little Richard were among them. The Doors and Alice Cooper played as well. The documentary also shows the side behind the stage. Putting the festival together was not easy. John Lennon’s taking part changed the course of it. Lennon came on stage with the Plastic Ono Band. Yoko Ono and Eric Clapton were with him. Klaus Voormann and Alan White were in the group too. That appearance was a turning point for Lennon. He decided to leave the Beatles afterwards. The documentary is built on archive footage. Interviews about the event come in between. John Lennon and Yoko Ono appear in the eighty minute documentary. It is a Canadian and French production Ron Chapman finished in 2023.
