"It "John & Yoko" is a brilliantly disquieting composition, and almost impossible to listen to for the full 22-plus minutes. It is a display piece, something that lies inconspicuously on a shelf until someone comes along to show it to. "Check this out, this is wild," you might say, regretting your decision to share this piece of your record collection by the second or third "Yoooookooooooooo".On the flip side is "Amsterdam", closer to Unfinished Music in spirit, but still offering its own vision. "Amsterdam" is pastiche for peace, assembled from recordings that took place during Lennon and Ono's famous wedding celebration and bed-in-for-peace event in a hotel in Amsterdam. The first five minutes or so are of Ono singing "John, John, let's hope for peace" with a little "help" from Lennon, and after that it's all interviews, ambient sounds, and tiny snippets of songs (a bit of "Good Night" here, a little something involving "bed peace / hair peace" there). At one point Lennon orders brown toast from room service. It is maybe not as interesting as "John & Yoko" in terms of the artistic merits, but it is by all means easier to listen to"
