You know what. I didn´t go. I know what I said before but then... I wasn´t that keen on going to see her in concert. I would have wanted to meet her though over a cup of coffee.

Then, a day before the concert - I read in the newspaper that Ringo was gonna be there too. Then I was like, f*ck I would have wanted to see him (concert was sold out).

Yoko performed songs from her new album. There were no Lennon songs or Beatle songs and she never spoke about John. The last song was Give Peace a Chance and that was when Ringo came on the stage to take part. Yeah, I would have wanted to see him. Sean was there as well.

Yes, this is quite understandable. Hard to listen to Yoko. But it`s a pity you missed Ringo and Sean. Sean has some very good songs... I believe he sang too?

Not sure. I know he played bass, and was quite good at it I was told.
