Which bassist played on 'Live Peace in Toronto 1969' with John Lennon?

Klaus Voormann played bass on John Lennon’s Live Peace in Toronto 1969.

The live album documents the Plastic Ono Band’s hastily assembled performance at Toronto’s Rock and Roll Revival festival on 13 September 1969. Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Voormann and drummer Alan White had only brief rehearsal time before taking the stage.

Voormann was a longtime friend of Lennon and had designed the Beatles’ Revolver cover. His bass playing anchors performances including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Yer Blues,” “Cold Turkey” and “Give Peace a Chance.” Tony Levin is a common mix-up because he later played bass on Lennon’s Double Fantasy sessions, not this 1969 concert.

The album was released in December 1969 and became the first live album issued by a Beatle either separately or with the Beatles. It reached No. 10 on the US Billboard 200 and was certified gold.
