#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Biggest concert i've ever attended that's for sure.Anyone got any pictures, i've got a few, but very distant and fuzzy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Pity I wasn't at that concert, I'd have beaten Howard Shore to a Canadian pulp if he didn't conduct his 4 hour THE FLY (1986) suite or any other great music he has written for those terrific David Cronenberg movies. He should have played the SCANNERS suite....all those exploding heads I'd have paid real money to see that! The Lord of the Rings Suites what a load of Hogwarts!Hitch, listening to John Adams (because he can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart 0 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Does anyone has a vid cap of the boy solo from the Bridge of dinges?I guess there were about 10 000 people, the Sportpaleis has a capacity of 16000 people, but that's with a standing center square.And... was Howard Shore crying or did I imagine that?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Howard Shore was the little black speck standing on front of about 200 other speacks half a kilometer away.So i did not notice any tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audax 0 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 - The directors' bootI can't see myself but I was sitting there behind the boot!!! P.s. I didn't see Shore crying. You must have imagined that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 There were people behind us who thought he was crying as well, during the ten-minute-or-more applause... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audax 0 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Did we applaud for that long!?!?! It seemed much shorter to me. Well, I'll ask a friend of mine who was sitting only 15 metres away from Shore. He must have seen him cry if he did.Audax - Who still feels the pain in his hands from the applause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 He was probably crying from the pain of all those flashes from camera's.Poor guy, i'm sure he'll be bringing sunglasses next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jango Fett 0 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I' ve been there too!! It was really awsom! We had almost perfect seats, in front at the left side of the podium. We had a great view, we saw all the musicians and of course Howard Shore coming on to the stage from the background.Unfornately I wasn't able to take some pictures because the batteries of my digital camera were empty!!!! But that could not keep good mood down. I thought it to be a great concert in which all the great facets of all three movies were exelently put forward in a great mixture between the songs. Especially the singer who sang gollum's song and into the west, Sissel or something like that... What a voice wow... and well the eyes also want something to see so that was also taken care of by this singer...As far as the audio mixing is concerned. I have to agree that the sound was not quite well mixed. Especially the trumpets were not clear in the beginning they had problems finding each other, but they are forgiven. After the break I thought the sound mixing to be a lot better than before. In summary can I say just one thing. A wonderful concert for a wonderful evening!!Mark - who asks himself if this is the only concert Shore brings in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 There will be one or two more performances of the Symphony in London.But hey man, it sounds like you had great seats. Awesome!BTW, didn't Sissel also sing on Titanic?- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jango Fett 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Just shortly hook up on that crying thing of Shore. I must I had perfect places, so I could see extremely what was going on to the stage and for a moment I also thought Howard was crying or at least almost crying!I'm not that sure, but I could clearly see that he was overwhelmed with emotions.
