One night. One stage. One moment that changed everything.

On August 30, 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono stepped onto the stage at Madison Square Garden for a concert unlike any other. It was their first full-length live performance together, and for Lennon, the only major solo concert of his post-Beatles career. But this was more than just a night of music—it was a bold statement of love, defiance, and revolution at a time when America was in turmoil.

One to One: John & Yoko – Love, Music, and Revolution takes you deep behind the scenes of this historic event, revealing the tensions, triumphs, and untold stories that shaped one of the most significant performances in rock history. Drawing from exclusive sources, personal recordings, and newly uncovered details, this book captures the couple’s vision for the concert, their battles with the U.S. government, and the rising wave of political activism that fueled their art.

Set against the backdrop of early 1970s New York—a city pulsing with protest, creativity, and counterculture—this is the story of how two of the world’s most controversial artists used music as a weapon for peace. From their collaboration with the iconic Elephant’s Memory band to their support for radical activists like John Sinclair and Bobby Seale, the concert was a reflection of Lennon and Ono’s deep commitment to social justice.

But behind the idealism was a storm brewing. With the Nixon administration actively working to deport Lennon, the FBI watching their every move, and critics dismissing Ono’s avant-garde artistry, the couple faced relentless opposition. Yet, through it all, they remained defiant. The One to One concert was not just about raising money for disabled children—it was a declaration of artistic freedom, political resistance, and the power of music to unite people in the face of oppression.

This book also examines how the concert, long overshadowed by Lennon’s tragic fate, has been reinterpreted through time—including through the 2024 documentary One to One: John & Yoko. With restored footage and remastered sound, the film reignited interest in this momentous event, revealing just how forward-thinking and radical Lennon and Ono’s vision truly was.

More than fifty years later, the echoes of that night still resonate. The music, the message, and the movement that John and Yoko inspired continue to shape our world.

Whether you're a lifelong Beatles fan, a student of history, or someone fascinated by the intersection of music and activism, One to One: John & Yoko – Love, Music, and Revolution is the definitive account of a night that was more than just a concert—it was a turning point.

Step back in time. Witness history in the making. And experience the true story behind the concert that defined a generation.
