John Lennon Tribute Tickets

The only time of mine I am willing to waste on this marketing ploy is to tell you I do not appreciate this. In order to submit my opinion, which you came to me for, I have to write something original? It is just abuse of the customer.

The show was excellent. I had never heard anything from Kev Mo or Taj Mahal before although I was familiar with both. They were exceptional. The guest list was good but there should have been more and it should have been longer. A coupld of musicians did what I would call almost dark versions of a Lennon song but the majority were upbeat and very good. Not a big country fan but Shelby Lynne was outstanding as well was Joan Osborne. Also enjoyed Martin Sexton. The really big surprise was bubble gum pop artist Cyndi Lauper who did a really fabulous job. Jackson Browne was there and he is always excellent and did a duo with Cyndi Lauper. Jackson would not give Cyndi a hug after their duo while all other artists hugged, gave high fives, etc... Maybe she has grown up and out of pure pop. My first year at the tribute and I read that the musicians are different every year with a few regulars. They did have some not such good acts as well;; a couple of modern dancers dancing to a Lennon song and a juggler, juggling to another John Lennon song

although the quality of the individual performers was uneven, the "spirit" that existed in the room made up for it ... not to mention the fact that anyone who loved John Lennon and loves Yoko has to be someone who is open to unique different styles of artistic expression. So while I was not crazy about all of the performers, how can you not love Lennon music in any form! the only downer was when a few people (like Cindi Lauper) did not remember the words to Lennon songs...seriously! each performer only sang one or two songs, the least they could have done was learn the words! money going to a great cause so it took the bite out of the ticket price ... POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Lots of people I've been wanting to see for a long time - Taj Mahal, Martin Sexton and Shelby Lynne were fantastic. And others I've seen as often as I can - Jackson Browne and Keb Mo' - and they never disappoint.

Wonderfully eclectic R&B, Country, and World versions of classic Lennon. All For a great cause. Thanks to all the musicians and organizers. Bravo.

Everyone has their heart and soul in the right place at this tribute. The names, venues, and unfortunately, the seat prices as well have gotten bigger than years before. If you can afford a good seat- go for it. House band Rich Pagano and Jack Petruzelli's Lennon expertise adds tremendously to the music. They are the unassuming heroes of this show.

very disconnected too many performers much better last year at symphony space no sense of togetherness
