VIDEO:
The film is presented in fullscreen and the age of the material shows. Colors come off rather bland.

AUDIO:
For a concert film, the audio is a more important aspect. The DVD contains two tracks one in Dolby Digital 5.1 and the other in stereo 2.0. While they may not be reference material, the sound is rich and makes the music even sweeter.

EXTRAS:
None. The DVD counts an interview with Yoko Ono as a bonus feature, but this is actually a prologue to the actual concert piece.

FILM VALUE:
For music fans, "John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band: Live in Toronto ´69" is a pretty historical event. It is the only filmed footage of the Plastic Ono Band in a live performance. Not to mention it marks the end of the Beatles and the beginning of Lennon´s solo career. Lennon isn´t completely on his game, but his vocals and guitar are still solid and make his set more of an impromptu jam session. Hey, Lennon on an off-day is better than most of the generic pop that makes the rounds on the radio these days. However, the short nature of the film (less than an hour) and the lack of extras make this more of a rental than a purchase. Just make sure to hit eject before Yoko does her thing.
