I'm working at it. Gonna be awesome.

 

[shitepipe]

Yup, should be good alright. Are they playing excerpts from Music with Changing Parts at this?

The NCH website lists the time for the show as being 8pm. Does anyone know if this means that the performance begins at 8pm or just that doors open at 8pm?

 

[nEiLo]

excited.

 

[worthit]

The performance will start bang on 8pm.

They're just doing the sound check now. It looks and sounds amazing.

this was great. Leo Enright almost spoiled it though. : )

yea, jesus he went on a bit.

both sections were great- the glass piece was really intense..

 

[bogmanfan]

I thought the first half was amazing. Actually found the visuals too distracting during Apollo and found I was concentrating on the screen, and not on the music. Overall a great night though.

 

[shitepipe]

yea, the second half was really more about the documentary. which, in fairness, suited just fine as the footage was pretty amazing.

Yer man in the middle talking about himself was rreeaally annoying.. if they could have gone quickly from the Glass piece to Apollo.... GAAHH. He did have something interesting to say but come one, you can only say "I'll be brief" before one anecdote It was amazing anyway, really enjoyable, I love a set up like that.. and the pedal steel was frickin awesome.. great visuals.. yer man hanging out of the space ship looking over the globe.. phueew.. apparently Eno's motivation was all the ill-informed chatter over the originally aired footage

Nobody knew he was to do that speech until the last minute. It was thrown in for the fact that it was science week. He came off stage and said "did I go on a bit?" Nobody answered.

 

[nEiLo]

The person next to me must have thought I had tourettes as I muttered curses all the way through his speech. ha ha.

I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE TO THIS.

My friend was wondering who got him to do it? I was of the opinion that he might have gotten himself to...

YO forget him though, it was a great night, I'd love to see more like it in the Concert Hall

What he said.

+1 from me. Been to a few shows there in recent years, and 3 this year. It's a gorgeous venue and the sound is fantastic once it's not too loud. Would be great to see more acoustic or folk gigs in there.

Tell me about it... I had to go in and sit through Niamh Kavanagh and the legends of swing tonight after that amazing night last night. There's definitely more and more decent gigs coming in these days thanks to Foggy Notions and Note productions.
