> I was expecting Yoko to sing.-
Yoko did perform a few of her songs at that concert. I think a couple
are on youtube. She was awful, just awful.
To make matters worse, the sound system at MSG was not the best. The
sound was quite echoey and distorted, at least for those sitting far
from the stage like me. Plus, the concert started late; there were
several different acts, and it took quite some time to set up between
acts. John and Yoko were saved for last, and by the time they came on,
it was late andthe audience was restless.
There were a few times when Yoko would speak or sing a song. She spoke
English with a heavy accent . . . . like someone who just stepped over
the boat from overseas. Add that to the fact that the sound quality in
general was poor, many people in the audience could not understand
what she was saying or singing. When Yoko would speak or sing, many
people in the audience started talking and ignoring her. There was an
instance or two when people booed.
Many people were very excited to see and hear John perform; we were
disappointed when Yoko took center state instead.
Years after John died, Yoko released an edited film of the concert.
Someone who is not familiar with the real concert would think that the
audience gave her a warm welcome when she performed. On the film,
there is an instance or two where the audience appears to be cheering
or clapping energetically as if they really enjoyed Yoko's
performance. The film does not show the reality.
