Endorsement Comments - 2nd Wave
Madison Square Garden, about 55 years ago. Yoko in a sweater with no bra.
Her downturned nipples are visible through it. John sings 'Imagine' and 'Mother'. My heart is sharply pierced, and tears well up.
John and Yoko's only full concert. Realizing such a world actually existed. Yoko's screaming vocals. Listening to John sing 'Hound Dog' live... Right now, I am deeply moved all over again.

In the 'One to One Concert', which starts with 'Power to the People', the song that became the title of the movie, John proved that he is a hardcore rock and roller. 15 songs up to 'Give Peace a Chance', which is structured impressively overlapping with the words of Hitler read by Yoko. It is extremely dense, and the political elements blend brilliantly with rock and roll.
It's also great how Sean's thoughts and passion, having spent 20 years on wonderful restoration work, are conveyed throughout. Along with the joy of being able to experience this on a theater screen, I want to send my heartfelt applause to the fact that this unique live film will be preserved forever. It has a charm that you could talk about all night.

Is this that One to One?
The band's performance looks completely different. Perhaps, as was the case with the theatrical movie 'Get Back', AI technology has had a significant effect on the sound. It brings out the immense potential of the groove that lay hidden in the performance of Elephant's Memory (& Jim Keltner). I was particularly surprised by the bass and drum sounds. You can also enjoy details like John's raw, unpretentious MCing, saying he 'sang it almost without mistakes' ('Come Together'). The girls in the audience banging tambourines at will are inflammatory, and John admiring them is also good. The immersive excitement is captured on the left and right screens, and in the finely brushed-up visuals, the attempt of John and Yoko to create the free scene of the late 60s in the 70s was captured uninhibitedly. It has become a wonderful document that makes you want to give a big round of applause.

Endorsement Comments - 1st Wave (Released 4/21)
John Lennon, who was beginning to be glared at by the Nixon administration in 1972 America as they escalated a failing war. Outwardly, it was a charity concert for children with disabilities, but their true intentions are clearly conveyed from John and Yoko's words and actions.
John looking incredibly cool singing solo songs like 'Instant Karma' and 'Mother' at this first and last full concert after the Beatles disbanded. The screening period in theaters seems to be short, so go early!

I was wrong. Contrary to what I thought until now, what I felt through this movie was not about the message or anything like that, but a live performance with wonderful music, and John as a 'music person'!
John cheekily turning up the amp volume, John constantly strumming the guitar with 8-beat downstrokes, John cueing Yoko to start singing during the song...
