Summary

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Kevin Macdonald, who joins us to discuss his extraordinary documentary, One To One: John & Yoko. Set in the period between 1971-73 when the pair lived in a tiny apartment New York's Greenwich Village, it revolves around the footage of their One To One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, which was, remarkably, the only significant live performance of John's after he left the Beatles. We also get plenty of never-before-seen video of their time in the Village and a truly insightful series of telephone conversations. One To One was made with the blessing of the Lennon estate - with Sean Ono Lennon overseeing the remastering of the audio, which was only salvageable thanks to developments in technology.
