Friday: Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy.
Man. The whole thing was just incredible. I missed the first song (thanks Jake) but we went in just in time to catch them introducing Nobuo Uematsu. Yes, the musical genius was in the concert hall and I was breathing the same air as he. The cheering was thunderous. One fan screamed out, "UEMATSU SENSEI!!!!!" What a moment.
The concert was, of course, AWESOME. Non-fans dragged there by gamer boyfriends/girlfriends wouldn't have been bored, either. While the music was playing, FMVs and in-game footage would be showing on the giant screen above the orchestra and choir.
Yes, choir.
Of course they need vocals for Liberi Fatali, Fisherman's Horizon and..... yes, ONE-WINGED ANGEL. They played everyone's favourite theme as the second encore. I doubt the crowd would have shut up if they didn't play it.
Ah, but they did play Vamo Alla Flamenco (FFIX) and the Theme of Love (FFIV). Love em to pieces.
There was an autograph session with Uematsu after the thing, but Jake and I were too tired to queue. And he was only going to be signing for 45 minutes so there was a chance you couldn't get something signed.
Anyways, it was a nice hour or so struggling to hold back tears. Yes, yes I'm a geek/loser/wuss or some combination of the three.
