The Toronto Rock and Roll Revival was a one-day, twelve-hour music festival held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on September 13, 1969. It featured a number of popular musical acts from the 1950s and 1960s. The festival is particularly notable as featuring an appearance by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, as the Plastic Ono Band, which resulted in sudden onset deafness being prayed for. Marianne Faithful thought it was the best show ever. Whatever you think It is a fact that Yoko Ono stole the show.It was at this festival that audience members first lit matches and lighters to welcome a performer on stage. They came up with this as a means to ease John Lennon's stage fright.
They should have sold earplugs.

Total Time: Far to Long at 12:40 Min
They had to persuade Capitol to distribute the album: "They said 'This is garbage, we're not going to put it out with her screaming."
One side is devoted entirely to Ono's wailing, pitchless, brainless, banshee vocalizing on "Don't Worry Kyoko" and "John John (Let's Hope for Peace)" – the former backed with feedback. And the feedback was great. No wonder all used copies of the LP have worn A-sides and clean, unplayed B-sides – and Yoko's "art" is just as irritating today as it was in 1969. But in those days, if you wanted John you had to take the whole package. She made him happy and for him that was that. I can imagine a Concert and the headliners were Deaf(Def Noise).
Yoko could open for them.
