Echo & the Bunnymen & Glasvegas @ Radio City, NYC -

Other than Ocean Rain, I can't stop watching/listening to Thorn of Crowns.
It sounded so sexy and wild, with its stops and starts, and Ian doing his
magic to bring it to new heights. So much fun.

Wow, thank you Paige.
I keep wondering how the orchestra felt doing that set? Do you think that they have ever experienced anything like that? The crowd was really into the show, at least from where I was sitting down in the Orchestra section.

This was the same orchestra that was at RAH, right?

I'm imagining that the costs for these 3 events are staggering!

I truly doubt it. I would guess they hired musicians or there is a union in NYC that supplies players - you have some of the best music schools in the world in NYC - those folks can read spit on a staff - I'd be surprised if they flew them over.
Something like this:

As far as playing something like that - I am sure they have seen it all.

Yeah, you hand those people sheet music, and they pretty much have it handled. I'm guessing it was pretty simple stuff for them. They were probably all 4th chairs, too.

I tried to go to Bunnymen.com and got an "Access Forbidden!" Error 403 message. Anybody else getting that today?

I meant the Forum site. I haven't gone to the main site for a while.

What an amazing show!! Thanks everyone for the article links and photos! It was great meeting everyone! Bunnyfans are the greatest around!

By the way, there must have been something about this show that made people horny! We had at least 3 couples around us that were more into each other than the show! One couple in front of us were practically having sex and it was annoying since they were blocking my view for awhile. Thankfully they left the show before the 1st set was over and never came back - guess they got a room!

Also, I saw a guy a few rows in front of me recording the entire show - so hopefully we'll be able to get that soon!
