Multiscreen concert film of two massive live shows by John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Sedona, AZ — The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical event: “Power To The People: John & Yoko Live in NYC”, showing April 29 and May 3 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.
“Power To The People: John & Yoko Live in NYC” is the 2026 multiscreen concert film of two massive live shows by John Lennon & Yoko Ono at Madison Square Garden, New York City on August 30, 1972, newly restored, re-edited and remixed by the Lennons’ seven-times Grammy Award winning team.
John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and Special Guests performed these now-legendary sold-out One To One concerts to a combined audience of 40,000 people, raising over $1.5M (equivalent to $11.5M in 2026) for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They were the only full-length concerts John Lennon (with Yoko Ono) performed after leaving The Beatles.
Originally filmed by multi-camera director Steve Gebhardt in 1972, this 2026 version of the concert film is directed by Simon Hilton, edited by Ben Wainwright-Pearce and produced by Peter Worsley & Sean Ono Lennon. Music Production is by Sean Ono Lennon; mixed and engineered by Paul Hicks & Sam Gannon.
Hits performed include John’s ‘New York City’, ‘Instant Karma!’, ‘Imagine’ and ‘Mother’, plus Yoko’s ‘Don’t Worry Kyoko’ and ‘Open Your Box’, plus rousing renditions of ‘Come Together’ & ‘Hound Dog’ and encore ‘Give Peace a Chance’ with special guests Stevie Wonder, Melanie and many others.
“Power To The People: John & Yoko Live in NYC” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m. and at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Sunday, May 3 at 3:30 p.m.
