I guess he wasn't sightreading, but just reading... That is normal for orchestral musicians, even for percussionists. Remember these guys don't rehearse 37 zillion times for a tour, but more like three or four times (and then only during midday) for a series of concerts like these. That sure says something about the skill of these musicians: they don't necessarily have to know the music by heart to make the performance absolutely stellar (which is, by all accounts, what they did).Jeroenn wrote:The drummer was sightreading for the most part, which just looks diffrent. When you see a rock concert, the drummer knows the stuff by heart, and just starts banging and gets into his grove, this guy just constantly had his eye on the paper for every little tick.. So he played tight and confident, it's just diffrent to watch a drummer that way.jemmy37 wrote:@John: I didn't notice any lack of confidence with the drummer. I've seen this guy one other time (the Terry Bozzio + Metropole - concert) and he didn't seem to behaving differently. He was solid enough, I think.
Yes....*now* I know what you mean.. !John wrote: Is It Over Yet?
Then there was a short violin melody, after which the strings section played a chord melody, and folks, it had to be the most beautiful, profound and divine thing I've ever heard in my life. I'm serious.

I adore that song, and to hear it with the orchestra was really moving. It was also interesting to hear it performed with an electric guitar. The structure was a bit different than on the album.
HI 7string, would you be so kind to write the songs down an post them here????????7string wrote:Somebody looking for the setlist??

I've a hard time believing that...Jeroenn wrote:From the linernotes of the album it says that gentle ways was written in 2 minutes, then performed and recorded in one go during soundcheck.
I don't want to suck up to Vai anymore than I already have in the last week, but this imo is why the dude is a **** genius. To then see and hear it live with the gentle backing of a 50 piece orchestra is nothing short of pure bliss. Man, I want to hear it again so bad it's not funny anymore.....this is the aching hunger...hungry for more...
Unfortunately, I can´t decipher the script. Are you able ???????Ivar wrote:Why don't you do it yourself?Vaihalenfan wrote:
