Product Description:

When Little Richard took the stage at the Toronto Peace Festival in 1969, he set the place on fire, wowing his fans with high-octane renditions of "Tutti-Frutti" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly" (and mesmerizing them with his mirror-covered costume!). This amazing concert film, created by the Academy Award-nominated documentarian D.A. Pennebaker (DON’T LOOK BACK), captures a rock legend at the peak of his career, holding nothing back as he plays the hits that made him famous.

Product Description:

Little Richard: Live At The Toronto Peace Festival 1969 took place during one of rock ’n’ roll’s biggest rebirths, a popular reawakening that inspired the historic Toronto Rock ’N’ Roll Revival concert where
this phenomenal performance was filmed. Among the greats who appeared at this festival—including Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent— it’s safe to say that Little Richard
electrified the audience the most. Making a dramatic entrance under a single spotlight wearing a shirt covered in tiny mirrors, Richard commanded the attention of his audience with his over-the-top
stage show as he barreled through his classics. The energy was unparalleled.
Beautifully filmed by Academy Award®–nominated director D.A. Pennebaker (Don’t Look Back, Monterey Pop), this concert film not only captures the raw energy of Richard’s explosive performance,
but the adoration of a young crowd looking to cut loose with one of rock ’n’ roll’s greats still in his prime.
