I've never heard much of Yoko singing before, but went mainly because she is historic. To see her perform with Sean, then add the special guests to the bill, it was a fabulous night. I paid $175 for front row and wouldn't change it for the world. She is in great shape and pretty sharp-witted for her age of 77! Oh, what could have been if John Lennon hadn't been taken from us so long ago.

Yoko and the Plastic Ono Band were historic, devastating, inspiring, and unforgettable in every way. Sean curated the guests seamlessly and creatively, and the band was overwhelming in their passion and intensity. Matching the eternal creative fire of one of the great performance artists and vocalists of all time was a challenge they not only met, but gave back to push Ono to ever-greater heights. Worth the trip to L.A. and then some!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought tickets for this concert. I am a huge John Lennon and Sean Lennon fan but was not too familiar with Yoko's work other than her music on the Double Fantasy album. I was surprised with how much I liked her music. The concert was split into two acts. The first part, which I liked better than the second, was all sung by Yoko and featured video clips of her life and art. After the intermission many other artists took turns on the stage with her, adding a twist to her songs.

One of the most memorable moments was after the first song when Yoko thanked the audience for the applause and said she had written that particular song 40 years ago. I was shocked - the song was so modern rock! This woman was 40 years ahead of her time! The concert was unlike any other I have ever seen. Yoko Ono is on a level of her own. Although some of her voice techniques may not be considered "singing" I felt drawn in to the emotion she emitted in each song. It was enchanting! I regret that I did not become familiar with her work years ago but am proud to call myself a Yoko fan now.

the talent was amazing. it was awesome to see Yoko. she has lived through more than most people even imagine. Ha Ha get it Imagine. any way . I hate to say this but the artistry of the scream singing is a little hard to take. at first it was art and a few songs were perfect then it kind of got in the way of showcasing all the incredible talent that was on the stage with her. If she had not sung with most of her guests then it would have raised my opinion of the concert from four to 5 stars. she should sing a couple of songs then dance and play the tambourine while sean and the crew takes over. He is very beautiful and talented.

It was an artsy fartsy night at the Orpheum Theater, 10/02/2010 as Yoko Ono and her son Sean Lennon and the Plastic Ono band held a tribute concert. The concert is ostensibly a pre-birthday bash for John Lennon (09 Oct 1940-08 Dec 1980). It was a mixed crowd of activists, socialites, hangers-on, and dreamers who all sport their own styles and fashion statements. Amongst the crowd were Lady Gaga look-alikes, hippies, and anti-war groupies. Yoko Ono is in her finest form and,if it is any indication, she has found her audience finally. Yoko, after all these years (she is 77 years old), has not mellowed, remains unapologetic and rocked harder like there is always tomorrow. The concert is a great showcase of Yoko's avant garde and musical art.

Among her guests on 10/02/2010, Lady Gaga easily captured the audience attention. She played two songs with Yoko to the delight of her and Yoko's fans. Lady Gaga wore a sequined body suit that exposes her "derriere," obviously a send up to Yoko's film "bottoms." In her song with Yoko, Gaga gamely turned to the audience "mooning" the crowd!

Yoko Ono was more than raring to showcase her "vocal art." In deed, most of the numbers include her howling pieces and halfway through the show, one cannot help hope that she also render some of her more lyrical songs including "revelation," "kiss kiss kiss," and many others. Yoko's live rendition of "rising" was very dramatic and is the highlight of the concert for me.

The closing rendition of "Give Peace a chance" was a great finale to the event with all the guests giving their own personal messages within the song.

Saturday, October 2nd at the Orpheum Theater I witnessed something close to nirvana. Yoko Ono and her band were out of this world! The music transcended so many boundaries of popular music yet at the same time it was familiar and inspiring. Set against the backdrop of the opulent Orpheum theater the audience was treated to a host of guest appearences by an eclectic mix of stars including; Carrie Fisher, Vincent Gallo, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Lady Gaga who slinked onto the stage and took us to musical heaven, belting out monsterous vocals and oozing with charisma. Sean Lennon showed his amazing talents as musical director while alternating his time between guitar, bass and drums. A musical high point of the evening was Lennon singing a duet of his father's song, 'Oh Yoko,' in blissful genetic brilliance. The last song of the night was, 'Give Peace a Chance,' with all the guests taking turn on lead vocals and wallowing in the glow of Yoko Ono, who at 77 years of age is still a youthful spirit.

This was an interview, not a musical performance. She was interesting, she seemed to be relatively honest, although the answers had probably been given over the years. There were no "secrets" revealed, but it was a great opportunity to be with just about 200 people in the Grammy Museum little lecture hall to have the closest connection to John we will ever have. Only disappointment: They did NOT let us see the John Lennon exhibit in the museum, which was opening the next day---you had to be a Grammy Museum member to see the exhibit--that was not fair.

Absolutely incredible! When you attend a Yoko show, you know you are in the presence of a legend. From beginning to finish, the energy was electrifying and kept the audience shouting out 'I love you'-s and singing along to "Give Peace A Chance". It was beautiful and inspiring. I never thought I would take so much away from a concert!

Yoko Ono was absolutely at the top of her game. Her voice, her band, and her appearance was nothing short of a historical occasion. She has the energy of a person decades younger. Her back-up band, including Sean Lennon, was flawless. Sean is quite a musician in his own right. Among the several others performing with her, were two of my favorites: Carrie Fisher and Lady Gaga. They were stunning. Yoko Ono appeared on stage throughout the 3-hour long concert. Bravo!

by avantgartist

Looking like a character from Tim Burton's nightmare before Xmas in her oversized top hat with orange band and diamond pin, the otherwise petit Yoko Ono, 77, strutted her stuff back and forth across the stage, gracing us lucky Angelenos with an in-person demonstration of her Avant Guard experimentalism in performance art--
She's still out there after all these years!

Caution: Ear plugs could be useful in the louder cathartic shrieking sections....but it's a crazy world... and Ono's sounds that come from the depth of her soul -- reflect the primal chaos of real life.

Sean Lennon, too modest for words, worked his musical madness in the shadows...please give the guy some spotlights.....

He needs to use pauses when introducing the amazing musical guests so we can hear over the approval of the roaring crowd in this concert performance without any program notes....

The name of Sean and Yoko's favorite new group escaped me-- but not their talent and message: Guy's who were those 'masked' maniacs ( a woman with guitarist and feedback machine)???

Carrie Fisher put the right punch and anger into Yoko's lamentation over a straying husband--it was just painfully powerful...

Speaking of power--Lady Gaga--electrified the house----with or without costume affects--she is a powerhouse of energy and talent plus brains--no wonder Yoko and Sean picked her to rev up the 2nd half....

one of the best concerts i've ever seen. a melding of history, activism, avant garde music, performance art & broadway. yoko is a fiery, funny, charismatic angel who pushes the envelope of thinking. sean is the most perfect musical partner she's ever had. lady gaga is now one of my favorite singers in the world. but some of the other performers. thurston moore & kim gordon. godhead! the pair who did 'we're all water'. stunning. carrie fischer ('leah' as she said) a shocking & wonderful surprise. the films, going back to 'bottoms,' 'fly'...i feel like my lifelong admiration of yoko has been thoroughly validated for all but the very most narrow-minded to see. sean's duet on the one non-ono song of the evening, his dad's 'oh yoko," with (paul simon's son) harper simon was delightful. the closing 'give peace a chane' was stirring. yoko's breathtaking "16 track voice" is one of the world's most fascinationg, original & revolutionary instruments in the world. her apassion is fearless & the emotions she reaches for & shares with her audience are egoless.as ann magnusin said, "why else would the coolest guy on earth fall in love with her?" dear yoko, bless you.

I was transfixed by the Plastic Ono Band event. I had no idea what to expect, and went to the show with curiosity my main impetus. What an engaging and wonderful experience I was lucky enough to have been there for!

It was refreshing, avant garde, had wonderful musicians and guest stars. Yoko was terrific, her unusual vocals strong and wild. She is lithe, beautiful, fashionable, arty, funny.Sean Ono Lennon played several different instruments, sang, and directed, all with great joy and energy..

Early, rare films of John and Yoko made me cry. Fascinating.

I loved every minute.

I bravely placed my yes on 19 flyer in the wish trees that Yoko had set up in the lobby, with tags and pencils for the people to write their wishes down and tie them to a branch.
I then made a wish to meet Yoko....and tied it to her wish tree.

Thank you Yoko and Sean!

It was inspiring! All the different friends made it so fun and surprising. Lady Gaga was incredible. Playing a piano with her spikes and other parts of her body. Such command of the music and her voice, phenomonal. Loved seeing Sean Lennon perform. So much like his father. Loved Yoko's comment, " A Woman has her own Voice". Trips down memory lane, avante garde rock was just memorable, exhilerating, and FUN

I loved John Lennon. I thought John and Yoko were a perfect match and their relationship was an amazing one. I think Sean Lennon is a very good and versatile musician and has a great ear. Yoko is a renegade performance artist and I admire her for breaking through the gender limitations of her time, with ground breaking creative expression.

But if I had my way Yoko would not be allowed to open her mouth when music is being played in her immediate vicinity. She has no musicality whatsoever and cannot produce even one sound that is pleasing to the ear. It's truly unbelievable that some honest person in her world wont take her to the side to let her know this fact. There were times during the concert when I was in pain. And yet I sat through the whole thing. WHY?... because she's Yoko Ono, Legend.
