THE RETURN OF THE PLASTIC ONO BAND

Earlier this week, Yoko Ono put on a show with a new (and almost definitely one-off) version of The Plastic Ono Band at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It featured former Plastic Ono Band members - bassist Klaus Voorman and, um, Eric Clapton (but not Yes drummer Alan White!). But also: Sean Ono Lennon, Mark Ronson, Bette Midler, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Paul Simon.  Weird bunch, and it's hard to imagine anyone other than Yoko pulling that off.  Read a review of the show at Rolling Stone. It sounds like the show was a great tribute to the band's original co-leader, John Lennon.
