[withahip]

Save me a room hip. Daddy may be coming.

Fingers crossed!

[Red]

Or it may require my first ever trip to the East Coast.

oh c'mon, you know you wanna.......all the cool people will be there!

[insanejane]

Hey, congrats, all you East Coasters.

Damn, I hope they play L.A. too this go-around

Congrats to you guys, too! I wish I could get myself on a plane.


I read on the other forum that Mac actually READ the Radio City thread so maybe he's reading this one too.
So if you're reading this, Mr. Mac, If you do decide to come to LA and can't find an appropriate venue for an orchestra, there's always the Kodak where the Oscars and American Idol are filmed. I saw Bryan Ferry there.

Now we need to figure out a meet up place! So happy to have that to worry about!

such a nice time of year in the city, too

I wonder what the whole process is for getting the sheet music created for something like this? Orchestras don't play like a band or even a string quartet they need sheet music to keep their places along with a conductor.

So Mac and Will go "Let's play with an orchestra for an Ocean Rain show..."

Then what? It's not like that stuff already exists.

Now they have two orchestras to play with right? Are they palying with a British based orchestra and then a New York one? I imagine it's expensive to have someone transcribe things into sheet music but maybe even more expensive to fly a freakin' orchestra overseas.

Couldn't they use the same sheet music they used to record the album?

Or it may require my first ever trip to the East Coast. Only been as far east as Wisconsin so far. Plus I doubt anyone outside of L.A. would come to prospective show. Save me a room hip. Daddy may be coming.

hmmm, was kinda thinking that myself. go to big apple instead of london.

It's 1/2 the distance for you guys. That's what I would do if I was heavily drugged
and like Bill Maher said, they could put me underneath in cargo on the mail.

It's dead easy actually, all they need do is get someone such as Adam Peters to arrange the orchestration and put it to paper ........ Then any decent orchestra and conductor will be able to pin it down with a day or two rehearsal at most.......

They are professional musicians remember .........

PG & me hope to be there as we are the lame-os, "weird" crowd. It's not far driving there for us & our friends. We all started looking at our work schedules already....

For all of you people traveling here to see the band, I personally hope you have a blast of a good time. Think of this cool experience just as PG & me are b/c of us traveling twice to see the band this year to your country. Enjoy the city while you're at it too, especially you people from the UK...I hope you all enjoy everything, just as I personally enjoy your country's gifts.

Black Francis, Insanejane, Zabird & other West-Coasters, go for it!!! Make the trip.

Hope you all have fun though, in whatever you plan to do! :)

Good luck getting tickets too, in good seating areas.....:) (trying to locate a RCMH seating chart now)

I know it will be impossible,but I dream to see EATB in Italy (I saw them once in very early 80 and it was a folgoration),so I'd like to say to Sir McCulloch that in Italy we have all the theatre he wants,ancient arenas and fantastic classical orchestras ...think a little about it...Verona's arena for example...Please ...Come

September 16, 2008, wildly influential Brits Echo & the Bunnymen will perform their classic Ocean Rain LP in its entirety alongside a full orchestra at London's Royal Albert Hall. Each and every track, from the shimmering "Silver" to the soaring "Killing Moon" to the epic title track, will be done up with strings and laid out by the recently reformed post-punkers.

The group has two other live engagements between now and next fall, including a free gig in Spain and an appearance at January 12's Liverpool 08 concert, where they'll perform "Nothing Last Forever" from 1997's Evergreen with the Liverpool Philharmonic. Frontman Ian McCulloch will also appear on "The Early Show" on CBS January 11.

Dates:

01-12 Liverpool, England - ECHO Arena (Liverpool 08)
01-19 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - Pl. Joan Charles I
09-16 London, England - Royal Albert Hall (performing Ocean Rain)

I guess Adam Peters may have done that in the first place. I wonder if he is involved with this at all?

Hey RAH has a sticky thread, so RCMH should have one too.
