Star Wars in Concert - Toronto
This concert was awesome. Listening to John William’s music in it’s true full spectrum analog form is waaay better than any 44.1 kHz sampled CD. Definitely worth the ticket price, around $60 CDN for 301 level seats directly facing the stage - which in my opinion are the best seats to view it, as you have a full clear view of everything.
One thing that another person commented on another site was the number of kids in attendance, which to this person, detracted from the experience. Here in the Toronto concert, yes, lots of kids were in attendance, but all in all, they were well behaved. But step back for a minute… Star Wars is a kids movie series, of course there’s going to be kids at this concert! I mean, jeez, look at all the merchandizing and marketing from Kenner toys when Star Wars first came out… it was kids playing with Star Wars toys. I’m not sure how the musicians are going to handle their punishing schedule, it’s practically every other day in a different city! How the hell are they going to assemble and disassemble all the equipment that quickly. My only guess is that they have two identical sets that leap frog each other and different sets of musicians.
