Side 1 on the origional lp was great . You could over look ocasional NOISES from Yoko Ono . Side 2 was all Yoko Ono moanimg and screaming . (Either it is an aquiored taste or finger nails on a chalk board)This cd always tends to be high priced for half a cd .(Maybe you can find at a 50 % discount)

This is a awsome cd I have all John stuff and this has to be my faviret. The last songs with Yoko I dont like that much but the other ones I can listen to over and over again. I love the way John and Eric play Money it just gets stuck in your head, and a funny but sad thing about this album is that they edited out most of Yoko screams during Johns songs because I also have the dvd and on it theres alot more of the Yoko screams.

I actually have the original US Apple LP. It's out of print here, though. This was performed at a peace festival in the Toronto area Spetember 1969. The Plastic Ono Band included Eric Clapton, longtime cohort Klaus Voorman, and future Yes drummer Alan White. Yoko of course spilled her guts! John was not fully ready to return to the stage after three years away (not counting TV), even more on his own (you all know how it was). He didn't even have a chance to rehearse, so he had to wing it. He had to improvise on "Give Peace a Chance", as he did on the original anyway. "Cold Turkey" had not yet been cut in the studio. "Yer Blues" was the only Beatles original he did. Yoko screams through "Don't Worry Kyoko" and "John, John (Let's Hope for Peace)". This did sell better than the three LPs combined that actually sold more papers than the records themselves! This was originally typed on 9 October 2005, the 65th anniversary of Lennon's birth.
