    The woman is forever fresh

    by fernfrond on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    An epic show. It revealed Yoko's signature integrity and tender composure. She and her son Sean displayed their love for each other and for the everlasting language of art . They proved how this language, when mastered, can translate and evoke undescribable thoughts and emotions.The premises of revoltionary love and steadfast commintment to the spirit of universal peace, were the most poignant and potent for me. She isn't easy to listen to but it is critical that we hear her!

    This was here.

    by BentinSF on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Yoko Ono and the new Plastic Ono Band clearly demonstrated that age is no barrier to Ono's special brand of Rock and Roll. Or is she better classified as jazz? It's so difficult to pigeon-hole her, but what ever you call it, she did it at the Fox, and she did it well. For me, highlights of the show included "Death of Samantha," "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's only looking for her hand in the snow)," "Rising," "Fly," and a truly fantastic rendition of "Walking on Thin Ice." The last encore was done using "Onochord," which are tiny flashlights (there was one in every seat when we entered the theatre); The audience is instructed to continuously flash the lights -- one flash for "I," two flashes for "love," and three flashes for "you" (get it?). While Onochord was happening, the bands (both Plastic Ono Band and the opening act, Deerhoof) sang John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance," with the audience singing the chorus. A totally positive experience from beginning to end.

    I Can Die Now!

    by SFDave on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    OK, I can now die! Quick review: Yoko was amazing. For 77 years of age, she still has lungs, like when she started her primal therapy 40 years ago. Only criticism: she didn't do her political stuff from "Sometime In NYC" like "Angela" or "We're All Water". The new Plastic Ono Band (consisting of Japanese-band "Cornelius") were tight in rythm and style, and they accompanied Yoko well. (And, the one guitar player was so cute). But, what was truly amazing was Sean Lennon. Not only is he a accomplished musician on guitar and piano, he was hauntingly similar to his father in vocal range and delivery. Ended the show (second encore) with "Give Peace a Chance." If I wasn't such a cynical person, I would have cried. Truly unique, the opening band "Deerhoof" did a version of Can Heat's "Going Up The Country," which was a stark style difference from anything they did earlier in the night (like the difference between Picasso's earlier and later works)... If I was to describe the show in general terms - think of Yoko signing during a space jam by the Grateful Dead. Oh, and I almost forgot the visual background images of Yoko's creative career was the sweet topping on the cake. Of course, opinions differed. A shout out for Michael who braved the concert with me.. He said it was probably the most awful thing he ever had to voluntarially sit through... I guess you have to understand Yoko to have enjoyed the show...

    Yoko Howls and Rocks!!!

    by Petuniab on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    The minute I saw Yoko Ono was coming to the Fox Theatre, I knew I needed to see her. She has always pushed the edges fearlessly. And she was great - what a performer! The Plastic Ono Band was fabulous, and Sean Lennon is an amazing musician. And the guy who played the weird instruments! Wow. The audience was kids to 70's, and all had a rocking good time.

    Not for everyone

    by SantaCruzLiven on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Yoko performance is like drinking coffee for the first time. Strange, bitter but with time will come to appreciate. Her and Sean are living history. Sean is a good musician just like his father.

    Amazing...for what it was.

    by Elenore on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Going into this concert, I thought I knew what to expect. Aside from knowing her tragic history with John Lennon, I had also watched a few of her performances on youtube and read up on her performance art history on youtube. She seemed a bit out there, but I didn't expect anything too extreme. She was, after all, pretty old. As I watched her go full throttle into her first screamer song, I realized that I couldn't have been more wrong. While Yoko's music was often deafening to the ears with its loud moans and penetrating screams, one could not deny how badass it was to see a tiny 77-yr old Asian woman rocking out, so in the moment. She was engaging, intense, and so whether this avant-garde music was to one's tastes or not, one couldn't deny the electrifying energy of it. Overall, I would say that Yoko's music isn't for everyone...or even for most people. If you're looking for easy entertainment, a fun and pleasant time, then this is probably not the concert for you. However, if you're willing to open your mind to a artistic, avant-garde musical experience, not to mention see a living icon, than I'd give Yoko a shot, for sure.

    It Happened!

    by Mucksad on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    In her own words, and the opening song of the show: "It happened at a time of my life when I least expected, It happened at a time of my life when I least expected, I don't even remember how it happened, I don't even remember the day it happened. But it happened, Yes, it happened, Ooh, it happened, And I know there's no return, no way."

    Old Yoko Meets New Yoko

    by rocknrollnurse on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    YOKO ONO's son SEAN had a brilliant idea when he suggested resurrecting the band name father/husband JOHN LENNON used for ONO's music performances in the late '60s and early '70s. A tradition of astonishing music has become a wellspring of inspiration for YOKO's current performances, which blend the old and new styles so seamlessly that it is impossible to separate them out. Old fans and new fans will be amazed at the depth and beauty of the new PLASTIC ONO BAND experience!

    Yoko and Sean were Amazing

    by zrap on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Yoko and Sean were amazing, and John's spirit was in the room. It was very cathartic for me. She sang of losing him. She is gentle and playful and energetic. Sean is a great musician, plays beautiful guitar. For the 2nd encore we all sang, "Give Peace a Chance".

    YoKO ONO WAS TERRIBLR !

    by Caluch on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    I have been to quit a few concerts, but this was the worst concert I have ever attended.. The band was good ,but YOKO ONO was Terrible, just a lot of Screeching noise! I have never seen here before or heard her,but I will never see her again! Maybe I'M getting to Old and just can't appreciate her Screeching ? The drummer on the first part of the show did a great job! I thought her son did a good job.

    War Is Over

    by MisterZ1234 on 2/24/10Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Great show. Opening video was almost worth the price of admission. Sean has become a better musician. it was great to see him and his mom. Yoko rocks at 76! Still a performance artist. Wonderful special evening! Give peace a chance.
