Let's get the easy bit out of the way, a huge thanks to all the forum members I met that night for being so incredibly warm. It really felt good to catch up and reminded me that although SNS has taken over a lot of human interactions, there are still a few refuges like this that shine. I'm very grateful and will try to contribute more in future!
The event? Well I hadn't bought EoTT yet, so went in blind. It was bollocks. The dogs bollocks! Mr Foxx continues to expand his delivery through collaborations, and this for me was a masterpiece. The visuals were stunning, keeping me focused through the whole performance (performance, not a gig, hence the comfy chairs!). I love this branch of his work and the "fresh but so parallel" angle that Karborn brings to the table. Musically it was what I wanted/needed to hear. But Steve D'Agostino has always harmonized with John so well, that I really shouldn't have worried about enjoying myself. Which I did, evident in the fact that I only bought my ticket on Thursday. I didn't know if the format was going to work (and it didn't for everyone, which is understandable) but it pressed my buttons!
Now that the world premiere is done and dusted, it must be time for the world tour! Can Japan be first stop?
Well worth the trip and overall, a really great night out. Thank you all!
9.75 out of 10. The markdown due to those latecomers, many of whom thought that they may have been invisible!
