Power To The People: John & Yoko Live in NYC is a 2026 concert film featuring footage from two landmark live performances by John Lennon and Yoko Ono at Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 30, 1972. The film has been newly edited, restored, and remixed by the Lennon’s seven-time GRAMMY® Award-winning team.

John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band, joined by Elephant’s Memory and special guests, performed these now-legendary, sold-out One to One concerts for a total audience of 40,000 people, raising more than $1.5 million (equivalent to $11.5 million in 2026) for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These were the only full-length concerts John Lennon (with Yoko Ono) performed after leaving The Beatles.

Originally filmed in 1972 by multi-camera director Steve Gebhardt, this 2026 version of the concert film is directed by Simon Hilton, edited by Ben Wainwright-Pearce, and produced by Peter Worsley and Sean Ono Lennon. The music was produced by Sean Ono Lennon, with mixing and mastering by Paul Hicks and Sam Gannon.

The setlist includes John’s hits ‘New York City’, ‘Instant Karma!’, ‘Imagine’ and ‘Mother’, Yoko’s ‘Don’t Worry Kyoko’ and ‘Open Your Box’, rousing performances of ‘Come Together’ and ‘Hound Dog’, and an encore of ‘Give Peace a Chance’ featuring special guests such as Stevie Wonder, Melanie, and many others.
