If Mike played in Japan, I think I would go no matter what Back to top

Neither did we have their own stuff played at the beginning of the encore. We're poor in Paris... -------------- Jerome C (long time out of here, but always having MO in mind somewhere) Back to top

Ahh, I'm sorry, do you think I should have kept the encore a secret?   -------------- http://giggingforever.blogspot.co.uk Back to top

Platinumpty Group: Members Posts: 173 Joined: May 2011 Posted: June 26 2013, 07:22 Saw it last night in the Spiegeltent at the Southbank, just a few hundred yards from where it was first performer live in '73. Amazing piece of musical theatre - not only have they found a way to perform it for two people but they don't stint on the arrangement either, using multiple loop pedals to "multitrack" guitars and keyboards, playing two keyboards and bass-drum at the same time etc...   Only a couple of fluffs in last night's performance, some good-natured banter between sides and an appreciative audience who gave the show a standing ovation. No encore sadly, probably due to time restrictions - there may well have been a late show going in, as this was part of some 'Wonderland' cabaret festival or other. Well worth seeing.... I'd like to see them attempt Amarok next but that could prove fatal... Back to top

At some point they'll have to do some shows with a real public for real money, not only a few hundreds fans here and there (note : I don't say we are not a great public, I just say playing TB is way too confidential for a living, imho...) -------------- Jerome C (long time out of here, but always having MO in mind somewhere) Back to top

Dan's music recently featured in a movie presented at the Sydney film festival and then on TV. You should check out their other work! TB42 is proving so popular, they are playing 80 shows over 4 months with audiences around 500 per show (sometimes less, sometimes much more - like 900 in London last month). Do the maths! That's nearly a million pounds in tickets! They are back at Edinburgh with the same show for a second year by popular demand. By all reports, the audience is not just the Oldfieldian afficionados but also family members and friends, sometimes being dragged along, and discovering some great music by great musicians. Not bad for an idea that evolved over a bottle of wine, in front of the fire, with the aid of an old tin box. Back to top

Jerome C Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: June 26 2013, 10:33 Wow, I didn't know that (and I always hatted maths ) so actually yes, they should continue !! Maybe I didn't think it could be that successful cause I was "forced" to go alone to the concert (family members didn't find it motivating enough *) and I'm living in a country where there was only ONE date in a small theater that was only actually only 70% full for the concert... (*) and I actually bought an extra ticket for nothing... -------------- Jerome C (long time out of here, but always having MO in mind somewhere) Back to top
