I just read an article quoting John where he said he thought she added as much to music as the Beatles, the Stones, etc., that she was 20 years ahead of her time and other effusive praise.

@@AnnaLVajda Interesting. As I listened to it, it seemed to be a very raw emotion of some kind. I never knew any context to it. If that's the context, heartbreaking loss, then it's interesting that even without knowing the context, I did read the emotion correctly. Yoko communicated it loud and clear.
Truly terrible. I remember my local in the 1970s had a fairly good John Lennon record on the juke box. At closing time the landlord would put on the B side which featured Yoko and that would clear the whole pub in minutes
Came hereafter reading Johns 1970 rolling stone interview where he praises this song. These days it would be called “delusional” but John was bigger than Jesus so the sycophants backed him on everything (or were too afraid to point that out). It would have been really something, if he had lived, to see just how far he would have been able to go with this combination.
John said that it was 20 years ahead of its time. Well it's now been 51 years and we're still not ready for it. Maybe John thought that the human condition would evolve somehow to where nothing could ever annoy us.
Itako in Akira Kurosawa's film "Rashomon" is far more artistic than Yoko. I think Kurosawa's Itako allow you to watch the performance until the end. (Please try searching for this string in TH-cam.: Rashōmon (1950) by Akira Kurosawa, Clip: The samurai's story - told through a medium...)
His face is difficult to read but I think he had fun on this one. Sean Lennon once asked him how to play this song and he said he was so into it when it was happening that he didn’t know what he was doing, he was just playing away with the chaos.
I mean...she's either incredibly bold, or she lacks self-awareness. I'm not saying this is bad, I'm just saying that most people would think this is bad. I actually think there's something to this. Her vocalizations are crazy, but kind of impressive too. I had never heard her sing before until watching the "Get Back" documentary recently. To be perfectly honest, this has kind of piqued my curiosity. Go Yoko! (I think...)
I honestly think this shit slaps. If you don't have a bias against Yoko as a person and are open minded about music and art, there's a lot of things she's done over the years that's legitimately awesome. Most people just hate her because they think she broke up The Beatles. This is definitely supposed to be bold. A lot of people don't know she can sing pretty well in the conventional sense. Very strong woman.
I did notice in the footage there appears to be some glaring going on. Lennon appears facially neutral; Clapton appears downright death-stare pissed. Raw undisciplined emotion combined with great guitar work is not everyone's cup of tea. Apparently not Clapton's, at least.
Everyone thinks "The Day the Music Died" was the day that Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper went down in a plane crash-which Don McLean sang about. But you can clearly hear Yoko murdering Western music itself on this track. This is the soundtrack to a homicide-Yoko stabbed the song at least 150 times, and then slipped around on its entrails.
"One of the best rock'n'roll records ever made," remarked Lennon. (With more than a little bias.) Sure enough Ono's feeling of distress is well enacted via the song, but this really is the most artless and horrendous cacophony of crap ever put to tape. Caterwauling without an ounce of musicality.
@@fabulousfreddyisready Was listening, erm, laughing my head off last night to her contributions to Double Fantasy. The old cliché 'beyond words' applies in its exact negative sense there.
Love it as much now as when I heard it first as a 16 year old 😍. Always preferred the Yoko side of Live Peace in Toronto. So far ahead of the curve it’s amazing !!! Yoko was ‘out there’ before we even knew there was an ‘out there’ to go to 🙌. A Godess!!!
I never knew what to think of Yoko Ono. I know her music is hard to listen to - she was not a natural singer and she was never interested in "good" singing or conventional pop-song structures - but I respect her a great deal as an artist (not just a singer, but an artist [she was a conceptual artist before she was a singer, before she married John Lennon]). I know that Yoko Ono, with all her talk of peace and love, was in many ways the ultimate dippy hippie, but (though I may sound like a fool for saying this) as a rock performer, there was something in her that arguably pointed the way to punk. People may dismiss "Don't Worry Kyoko" - and Ono's other music too - as mere tuneless catterwaul, but listen to it up against, say, X-Ray Spex's "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" or Nina Hagen's "Dread Love" or Throwing Muses' "Fish" (especially "Fish", I'd say, because that song also prominently features the repetition of the words "don't worry"), and ask yourself, is it really so strange? Whatever else Yoko Ono may have been, she was one of the first female performers to get up on a stage and not sing or even belt but to *SCREAM* to *YAWP* , to push vocalization past the breaking-point. That's why I like her.
You're being an avant garde apologist because you think if you accept something so unconventional its edgy and therefore must be good and creative, even when its utter shit, ultimate exercise in self deception, just look at what Lennon went through doing the same thing, its literally on his face
@@adamscott7354 That I may very well be...but surely there's worse things than being an avant-garde apologist. Think about it. Ask yourself, what's worse? Accepting something because it's unconventional, or dismissing something out of hand because it's unconventional. I didn't start listening to Yoko Ono because I was trying to be "edgy" (whatever that might mean), but because I was sick of hearing people talk about her like she was some sort of sick joke. I wanted to make up my own mind about her art and music, and I did.
What astonishing is that in an interview John Lennon gave to Jann Wenner from the Roling Stone's, he said that no one influenced him like Yokko. He said that she is fantastic and that he is influenced by her music 1000 percent more than anyone or anything and that this music is as good as anything we ever did. or the Stones did. I don't know if he believed it himself, but he sure did loved her unconditionally and blindly.
I have the whole concert somewhere ... and I am more than certain at the end of the concert John and Eric kind of wander off to the side a little and have a smoke while Yoko is still "doing her thing". I haven't seen it for a long while and not sure where I have the dvd stored but the image of it is strong and I am fairly certain it's what happened.
Its like they're both hoping their final product one day will be a live sex show where she gasm gushes all over the audience, and the most rave and popular art show ever that also managed to reign in world peace
Yeah, she's doing her thing all over....you and me....and it stinks. As much as I have come to admire Yoko Ono in recent interviews, and realize she had a hand in writing lyrics to songs like "Imagine" this early Yoko performance artist in action effort sounds like primal screaming without much musicality. Yikes, talk about grating on the ears. And if it could be compared to some of her other "performance art" ideas, like the photograph of several people's bare bottoms and "Revolution Number Nine" on the Beatles White album, YEOW!! She sounds like she's doing her thing all over alright....like vomiting all over.
No, that's making excuses for squidward levels of no talent because you're afraid to run against the curve that was already running against the curve, doesn't always make something that does that is of transcendent quality
Honestly, I really like this. I’d rather listen to Yoko screaming over a wall of guitars than the pre-masticated over-produced pop that dominates our musical world.
If anything it's very complimentary that so many people seek these clips out just to hate on them. Especially when you're watch them and it's just fucking badass and nobody cares
I've never figured out John's attraction to her. But I can kinda see how he would feel obligated to entertain her ideas just to keep the peace, since they were together. But Clapton? Seriously, come on dude! Why/how in the hell did you agree to this? If this is "singing " then I need to record my dog in heat and make millions off the soundtracks.
Yes man. I think if you deeply appreciate the legacy of punk - from the proto era of Stooges & NY Dolls, to the aggression of Minor Threat & Black Flag, to the esotericism of later acts like The Pop Group & Talking Heads - you'll see the merit of these weird Yoko singles in the history of rock music and just be electrified by it as it plays. Particularly the album version tho.
I've heard such a lot about this song, given that it's mentioned in a lot of Lennon biographies and they've released it like a hundred different times. Even to the point where I considered it the signature Yoko Ono song, never actually listened to it and now I'm delighted to announce that it's actually shit
The immature Yoko Ono bashers here probably have never heard of gagaku, minyo or other traditional music with which Yoko Ono's talented music has commonalties.
Is that? No, it can't be.. is she... wtf is she doing, she's not going to come up on stage... no, oh fuck fuck fuck, I don't believe, what an asshole you are lennon, go fucking figure you dont make one single mention of this and just bring her up here with 30 seconds pre warning
The sound is too muffled, and it'snot because of the performance. Thanks for showing it anyway though. It looks like the most difficult lick Clapton ever played.
Is incredibly how in the world some stupid lady can manipulate some of the best musicians in the planet with her craziness and John Lennon didn’t have any respect for him self and other musicians, I believe the only guilty person about all this was John Lennon for letting his sweetie to participate in the concerts, that woman was just an intruder with out any talent and she took advantage of been John Lennon wife.
Yeah this feels like it should really end with a bang, especially with how strong and crazy and awesome Yoko's performance in this is (I'm not being ironic I genuinely really like this)
John Lennon actually said this was a more important song than anything the Stones or the who ever did. She must have had some sort of spell on him. Truly horrific stuff.
I saw clapton play this in '87 by request on the "It's in the Way that You Use it" tour. he said playing this was the true highpoint of his career and that it was an honor to be part of something so high level genius with a true artist. Then his nose started bleeding and we all knew it was the cocaine talking.
So much better that you can even her. This is music meant to be LOUD. Yoko's improvisations in this period are super good and she's bouncing off of the funk jam that you can't hear correctly.
OMG the look on Claptons face as Yoko sings like what the H#$l. Im saving this when I need to uncontrollably laugh my butt off...my stomach hurts from laughing.
Following john lennons statement of (in his opinion) and i quote "the best rock and roll record of all time". I find myself at this point. Oh dear god!!
I'd say Yoko is looking for more than her hand in the snow. I'm afraid her hand actually got caught in an electrical switch, and not only is she shrieking, everybody else's hair is standing on end.
It's astonishing, but she perfectly recreates the sound of a 78 Chrysler New Yorker with a 318 cranking over at 4 in the morning during a Brooklyn winter.
Eric Clapton's probably thinking "I should have just stayed in bed"

Is incredibly how in the world some stupid lady can manipulate some of the best musicians in the planet with her craziness and John Lennon didn’t have any respect for him self and other musicians, I believe the only guilty person about all this was John Lennon for letting his sweetie to participate in the concerts, that woman was just an intruder with out any talent and she took advantage of been John Lennon wife.
The woman here is talented, not stupid.
Look at the eyes of Clapton. Hey what's goin on! Where's my aspirin?😅
That thundering applause ...
I really wish the final chord was a 6 chord, with backing vocals, like on She Loves You.
Yeah this feels like it should really end with a bang, especially with how strong and crazy and awesome Yoko's performance in this is (I'm not being ironic I genuinely really like this)
Yoko's having a vowel movement...
She's almost as bad as Linda McCartney
Almost.
@@johnnymao They are and were both major talents.
The antithesis of modern computer music.
Can I express myself freely and deeply.... I'm tóó uptight.
I like this
I do too. would like to say I'm surprised that the negative comments but many people just hate Yoko Ono for no real good reason
love her warbly keening on this groove. reminds me a bit of pj harvey and j parish...
P.J. Harvey without the talent or looks....yep.
John Lennon actually said this was a more important song than anything the Stones or the who ever did. She must have had some sort of spell on him. Truly horrific stuff.
She was his mommy
It is indeed a very important song and I was glad to hear it.
finally. we now know where Robert Plant got it from:)
oh my goodness, kind of true, the line between genius and madness I guess
Who on Earth besides John Lennon could possibly call this talent??
Yoko Ono
@@Kelvinack But is Yoko actually on Earth?
And this ladies and gentlemen, was the reason why The Beatles broke up...
According to Lennon, this song was 20 years ahead, one of the best examples of rock. Well, that's what he thought.
I wonder how a person could actually practice singing like this.
Imagine having to live anywhere within hearing proximity of them?
They must have lost so many neighbors in NY to her cat in heat mating calls
It was an interrogation technique now banned in 58 countries.
That's one thing I never thought of is where she first came up with singing like this (I actually really like this song too)
Clapton is just thinking,........F#$k. 😂 This is going to be around forever....
I saw clapton play this in '87 by request on the "It's in the Way that You Use it" tour. he said playing this was the true highpoint of his career and that it was an honor to be part of something so high level genius with a true artist. Then his nose started bleeding and we all knew it was the cocaine talking.
The guy who wrote In My Life and Julia actually encouraged this.
He encouraged something creative, passionate, and artistic. I couldn't imagine him doing that!!
Mark David Chapman missed.
Bad aim...
Yoko ducked.
it has musical elements to it, it bounces up and down line of Consonance. And I didn’t know how powerful her voice is
Not sure why you need two guitars and one bass to play the bass part. No comment on the vocals.
"powerful" is a generous word.
@@haintedhouse2990 I think he mistook "powerful" for meaning "pathetic".
hara-kiri blues
Drugs truly can cloud the mind
So much better that you can even her. This is music meant to be LOUD. Yoko's improvisations in this period are super good and she's bouncing off of the funk jam that you can't hear correctly.
Hardcore metal
OMG the look on Claptons face as Yoko sings like what the H#$l. Im saving this when I need to uncontrollably laugh my butt off...my stomach hurts from laughing.
Clapton is annoyed
I've just read that Lennon thinks this was one of the best rock n roll songs ever made. Was he assinated or put out of his misery ??
No one ever played this side of the record more than once.
Following john lennons statement of (in his opinion) and i quote "the best rock and roll record of all time". I find myself at this point. Oh dear god!!
It’s the Everly brothers “wake up little Suzi“ with Yoko screaming to it.
Just say no to Heroin!
It`s not that bad. I kind of like it. The only problem is the audience was expecting 50s Rock & Roll.
I'd say Yoko is looking for more than her hand in the snow. I'm afraid her hand actually got caught in an electrical switch, and not only is she shrieking, everybody else's hair is standing on end.
Claptron @3:25............I am dying!!!
Si John pensó que esto era bueno, definitivamente el amor no solo es ciego, sino también sordo!!
Fuck the haters. I love this song. Got a similar vibe to Can and Amon Düül
I know what you mean. I think it's brilliant musically and vocally.
