I didn't care for Katy Perry's version of Yesterday. Not because of the gender change, but because of her performance in general. I would use the word "overwrought".

I also didn't care for Alicia Keys' part of the Let It Be duet, for similar reasons.

The other thing I didn't care for was the way the two numbers featuring the Cirque du Soleil performers was photographed. Particularly the last number at the end. It could have been an incredible visual moment, but it looked to me as if the director didn't really give a damn.

That said, the rest of the show was impressive, musically. Joe Walsh was great. So were a lot of the others.

I don't recall seeing John Lennon's sons in the audience, though Yoko was prominently featured in the first row. Thought that was a little odd, unless I missed something.

Overall, I really enjoyed the show. If it were a half-hour longer, I wouldn't have minded.
