John Lennon and Yoko Ono<\/a>\u2019s 1972 Madison Square Garden concerts will arrive on Blu-ray April 9, 2027, in a deluxe four-disc set that also includes the award-winning documentary One to One: John & Yoko. The announcement was made October 9, on what would have been Lennon\u2019s 86th birthday.<\/p>\n

The set brings together Power to the People, a newly restored and remixed version of the concerts, and One to One: John & Yoko, directed by Kevin Macdonald and Sam Rice-Edwards. A two-disc edition will also be available. Both versions are available for preorder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The concerts featured Lennon and Ono with the Plastic Ono Band, Elephant\u2019s Memory and special guests. The two sold-out performances drew a combined audience of 40,000 and raised more than $1.5 million for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities \u2014 equivalent to approximately $11.5 million in 2026. They were the only full-length concerts Lennon performed with Ono after the Beatles\u2019 breakup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The restoration took more than 20 years. Original film negatives were cleaned, rejoined and retransferred before the footage was reordered, synchronized and edited into a multiscreen presentation. The audio multitracks were also restored and remixed, with the new editions offering high-definition stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos.<\/p>\n

The accompanying One to One: John & Yoko documentary explores the couple\u2019s first year in New York City and the creativity and activism that led to the 1972 performances.<\/p>\n
