This week brought an emotional and thrilling surprise for John Lennon fans around the world. A newly restored and remixed version of “Come Together” (live) has premiered online, capturing Lennon and Yoko Ono’s unforgettable 1972 One to One concert at Madison Square Garden. Backed by the Plastic Ono Band and Elephant’s Memory, this electrifying performance has been given new life—over 50 years later.
Seeing Lennon command the stage during his New York era is both powerful and timeless. With pristine visuals and crystal-clear audio, the new film version is a moving reminder of his enduring presence and influence in music history.
But the surprises didn’t stop there.
Immediately following the film’s debut, fans got their first look at the long-awaited Power to the People: Ultimate Collection Deluxe Box Set—a sweeping retrospective that celebrates the groundbreaking artistry and activism of Lennon and Ono during their New York years.
This isn’t just a music release; it’s a deep dive into a pivotal chapter of their lives. The box set features over 100 tracks, including dozens of previously unreleased recordings, ranging from raw home demos to the full One to One concert experience. At its heart is a newly remixed edition of their politically charged album Sometime in New York City, now reimagined and retitled as New York City. Presented in immersive stereo, surround, and Dolby Atmos formats, the music has never sounded this vivid.
The Deluxe Box Set also includes a beautifully designed hardcover book filled with rare photos, handwritten lyrics, personal notes, and behind-the-scenes stories. Collectors will love the thoughtful extras: replica concert tickets, vintage-style posters, postcards, and artwork—all carefully curated to evoke the spirit of that transformative era.
At the helm of this ambitious project is Sean Ono Lennon, who worked closely with a team of award-winning engineers to bring his father’s legacy to life with care and integrity. Sean has described the experience as emotional—like reconnecting with his father through the music. That sense of love and preservation echoes throughout the entire collection.
The Power to the People: Ultimate Collection officially releases on October 10, 2025, just one day after what would have been John Lennon’s 85th birthday. More than a milestone, it’s a heartfelt tribute to a visionary artist whose message of peace, unity, and activism still resonates today.
With the stirring new release of Come Together and the upcoming box set, fans old and new can reconnect with the powerful legacy of John Lennon—one that continues to inspire more than half a century on.
