War of the Worlds Live on Stage

[LennardF1989]

I've been to the second show in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam yesterday, it was awesome.

Too bad the real actor who plays "Parson Nathaniel" had some private problems, so we had a stand-in.

Both the first and the second show in Amsterdam can be seen on YouTube, tonight, at 20:00 (GTM+1 - 2 with DST... -), the third show will be broadcasted live on Radio 2 (Dutch channel). For those interested, this is the stream version: http://www.radio2.nl/page/player/breedband

Other people who attended to the show (anywhere around the world)? What were your thoughts?

Only 5 minutes left to tune in!

It's on.

For those interested, I recorded the show and made a nice cut version out of it (there's a 1 minute dutch intro, and a 2 minute dutch outro with people saying how awesome it was), the actual transition in the middle is barely noticeable.

Other information
Title: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds (Live on Stage)
Conductor: Jeff Wayne
Performers: ULLAdubULLA Strings and The Black Smoke Band
Artists (a few): Chris Thompson, Justin Hayward
Recorded: July 2nd 2009 from Radio
Actual performance: July 2nd 2009, Live at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam
Genre: Progressive Rock

Some specifications
Recorded from the radio stream (which was 128kbps), merged some parts with a DVB recorded version. Cut away most of the dutch chatter and exported as MP3 at 128kbps (no use in higher as the stream itself was only 128kbps).

For those interested, I also have a FLAC version (about 700MB) but I couldn't notice any difference in quality compared to this MP3.

The audio was at his max volume when being recorded, but without hitting the "TOO LOUD SOUND"-buffer (around -10dB and -6dB, never hitting 0dB), so no filters where used to make the record louder than it was.

A small tip, don't use Nero, but use CD Burner XP, you will be able to create a gap-less CD WITHOUT a click-sound in the transition.

Enjoy.
