PHILIP GLASS - SOLO PIANO, NATIONAL CONCERT HALL, JUNE 22 (1 Viewer)

[worthit]

I'm going to the Whale Watching Tour here in September. With the talk of muddy sound on here, I wonder how the NCH acoustics will handle the 'extreme volume' of Ben Frost?

It's an extremely reverberant hall alright. But we've had loads of loud gigs that have sounded incredible. The new sound system is awesome too.

It was absolutely phenomenal! I really do think Philip Glass' solo piano stuff is the most emotive music I've ever listened to and to see/hear it in a beautiful live setting was perfect.

Highlight for me has got to be Mad Rush, that was really special.

He was doing a fancy effect with the 8 lights at the back and it doesn't really work unless they have some smoke to shine through.

It looked pretty cool on the ceiling alright.

David Byrne sounded fantastic last year and that was a loud gig.

or should I say 'concert'. Its probably improper to refer to an event in the poshness that is the NCH as a 'gig'.
