The Ono Band show was entertaining and fulfilling, beautiful and strong. It was strange seeing big time players on the sidelines like Cornelius and Yuka Honda, but they all looked super cool of course and look who they were playing with. The Queen, you guessed it.
I've decided Yoko's an avant-garde opera singer. no words, just sounds, but sounds that EMOTE. Plus her mere presence gave off a very very bright positive vibe. It was so cool also to see Sean Lennon play piano. If you know what I mean. He's very good, if only beautifully melodic. I don't know much about technique. He also played bass and guitar. Played some mean licks he told us "Eric" had just shown him (you know, Clapton). At the end several other people showed up onstage like opener, Deerhoof, and Harper Simon (Paul Simon's son). Along with them, the *We are Plastic Ono Band*, Yoko lead an old-fashioned group rendition of Give Peace A Chance.
I was afraid Give Peace a Chance would be hokey. A part of me shrank inside when it was announced. I kind of wanted to leave. I don't know entirely why, but it turned out fantastic. I let myself dork out on it. There was just one annoying, crazy, finger-peace-sign-swaying girl. Otherwise, WONDERFUL.
The noise hit that good spot. Noise+heavy bass pop rhythm = most of their songs.
Yoko + me hearing Yoko = happy.
Yoko + me hearing Yoko and shrieking guitar noise too = supreme happy.
Thank You Yoko!
