also check out jon pareles's blog there he mentions sy as well. thurston with yoko is reviewed there as well, i think pareles forgot to mention thurston also joined yoko for encore, which was "dont worry kyoko" more rocking version (the song was also played earlier in her set). on their noise piece "mulberry" yoko said she did that song before with john, then sean, and now with thurston and that this would be it, this would be the last time. it was kind of sweet. thurston seemed touched. forgot to add, they also did war is over if you want it chant to end her set, and if i remember right this one thurston played on his knees, just destroying his guitar.
going back to ddn night before it was amazing performance, the whole band just nailed it, and all the little changes the little jams just added for me to the magic of the thing (so i disagree with pareles a bit here). a HUGE ovation at the end, with thurston saying "i love you" to the audience like a little kid, embarrased by the ovation it seemed. it was just uplifting, almost hard to describe. definitely worth the trip to chi and looking forward to mccarren pool.
