Yoko Ono@Pitchfork 14/07/07

[Sukotto]

Yoko Ono performed as the last act of the evening on Saturday, day 2
of the 3 day Pitchfork music festival in Chicago, US of NAmerica.
I enjoyed it.
Although my guess is that most reading this may not, because
the crowd dwindled down to about 1/3 of what it was just before.

Just before she came on a video came on the jumbo screens with
her explaining to various crowds about this flashlight signal.
Flash it
once, (1)
twice, (1,2)
three x (1,2,3) (total of 6)
To stand for " I , love , you "
Spread this signal throughout the world as there was much anger, confusion, hatred, etc... because of the world situation today.

Tasukete.

Most of the music was a version of rock. Sorry I cannot give a more minute description than "rock". Maybe slightly blues? Perhaps I was a bit star-struck to remember? (If more people post various stuff online I will add to this thread)

She performed a song she wrote when her daughter was kidnapped.
Some lyrics were something like:
don't worry, don't worry, don't worry...etc...
it's going to be all right.


Also, she reminded the audience that we are all in this together and we will survive.

For the last two or three songs Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore joined her band (they had performed the night before playing their entire 1988 "Daydream Nation" album in order).

Here is a clip of her doing Mulberry with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore
(if you are a fan of either one, you will appreciate this, otherwise...?)
Mulberry was a reference to just after the war (ww2) when she was a child and collected mulberries.
