    Night To Remember

    by Peteaec on 11/24/10Beacon Theatre - New York

    Over to New York for my 60th birthday from UK to see show as i was a big Lennon fan from the early sixties to the end.Jackson Browne & Cyndi Lauper were stars i knew but most of the other US based stars i didnt?They all put on a fantastic show & gave me & my wife a show to remember on my first trip to New York.The audience close by us really got into the mood & this made it so much better.

    John would have loved it.

    by LESQ27 on 11/23/10Beacon Theatre - New York

    A great eclectic group of artists doing an eclectic selection of John's songs. I loved that the vibe was community//almost amateurish, rather than slick and staged, just how John would have wanted it. I was, however, quite disappointed in the performances of Jackson Browne and Cyndi Lauper. Browne didn't know the lyrics to the songs he was singing. I'm sure that 95% of the audience knew the words. It didn't feel like he was a fan of John's. Cyndi spent too much attention and energy to the laptop she brought on stage with her, presumably keying pre-recorded parts. This distraction resulted in her music not flowing.

    Bigger, Not Better

    by JJJJJX on 11/23/10Beacon Theatre - New York

    When Martin Sexton (whom I didn't really know) actually, naturally got the audience to harmonize WITH him on "Working Class Hero," I felt this was the best, most Lennon-like moment of the night. The bigger the "star," the harder and flatter they fell!! Cyndi Lauper's discomfort was palpable as she totally screwed up "Across the Universe." It seems she had paid more attention to her looks (in heavy leather drag) than her performance. Patti Smith was better but changed the lyrics in a way that obscured the song's true meaning. The benefit itself suffered from its overblown status. In previous years, there were quirky little theater pieces really examining Lennon's ideas and others' attitudes toward them. Once you go big, however, it's hard to go back. Still we wish Joe and everyone the best -- we'll be back next year I hope.

    Love, Love The Beatles, Didn't Love the Event

    by Lucus on 11/19/10Beacon Theatre - New York

    I think I expected so much more from this event. Having said that, there were a few moments that were great and a few I would like to forget. I don't remember all the names, but I will tell you that the person from South Africa was wonderful as were Jackson Browne, Cyndi Lauper and The Playing for Change Band. Whoever it was that sang Help I just pray that I never see them again- it was a painful rendition. I also think the screen should have been larger so that everyone could see the whole thing.

    Event was alot of fun. The songs were well done and the musciians great. I thought that we could have heard more from Jackson browne, Aimee Mann, joan Osborn and the Kennedys. Verbal tributes from the DJ and the comedy rantings were unneeded.

    1009

    by bsa1009 on 11/15/10Beacon Theatre - New York

    Felt like I was watching a rehearsal Bad sound This was a Tribute to the greatest songwriter in modern history and there was not one lasting memory from this night. In 40 years nobody perfected this music,as John did,please dont rearrange these songs in front of a New York audience of Lennon fans. I can appreciate new versions but not on a night like this.

    I thought the house band sounded great. did not like some of the artist reading the words to some of the songs considering it was only one or two songs of this fantastic artist. Cindy Lauper was going into the chorus instead of the next verse but she caught herself. She sounded great though as did all the other artist. Jackson Browne my favorite was awesome,Taj mahall got everyone going . I could not see the video screen because of my seat was in the very top balcony. all in all i enjoyed the show.

    Patti Smith was magic. Martin Sexton, too. Jackson Browne, yep. Playing for Change, fab. Cyndi Lauper, what happened...you really didn't know the words, or did playing with your Mac for (unnecessary) sound effects distract you?
