It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Saw them do the full Tristan last night.

I'm really at a loss to describe it. As a performance and as a story and as staged it was truly a deep experience for me.

It was about the hottest ticket in town and I called the box office in the AM and they'd just had three (very good) seats open up so I grabbed one (I've never had so many people ask me if I have an extra ticket as I walked into WDCH, nor have I seen so many on line hoping for a cancellation).

I was in a bad mood during the day and the drive over sucked and I was thinking I wasn't up to 5.5 hours at the concert hall and that I would just pick it up from will call and sell it when I got there but as I walked up to the building there was an energy present that just carried me in.

It was the most attentive crowd I've experienced at WDCH (and, by far, the loudest when it came to applause/cheering... the standing O after act I lasted 5 to 8 minutes even though - or maybe because - no one came out). There was a well deserved thunderous ovation for EPS at the end... dwarfing the one from when I saw act III.

Thanks for the heads up on the article... we get the New Yorker at work. I look forward to reading it.



Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
