anosou Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Sure, but don't you think we'll get arrested for exposing ourselves? I mean ONLY a PLAY shirt, THINK OF THE CHILDREN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroZ Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yeah.. I was there too. The mood was very nice at the place. Everybody had the same intrest.. really cool. We should have made a sign that said: OCremix or something, to discuss and make some contacts But we might be able to organize it next year. The Dancing Mad was cool.. but as you say, the soundtechnican did badly. The choir was also gone in the start of the concert. But the Darkness soundtrack n Oblivion was wonderful. Also the zelda tunes.. Well it was a nice experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty-second Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I vaguely remember the Chicago concert I went to awhile ago had a sound technician who did some stuff wrong too... I felt like it needed some sort of equalizer on it, the levels were all wrong =P Also, there needs to be a PLAY! CD. I'd buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I was going to go to the one in Stockholm this Saturday but I ended up selling my ticket because I'd promised to go with the choir I sing with to be Antony and the Johnson's warm-up band before their concert. So I ended up not going. But there'll be another concert this time next year, so I guess I'll go see that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should really have a sweden meet-up anyway? Grab some beers and see who actually lives here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkinzez Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 For any Aussies concerned, I just bought tickets for the weekend Sydney showing. At least Yamaoka is set to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siven7 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The Dancing Mad was cool.. but as you say, the soundtechnican did badly. The choir was also gone in the start of the concert. But the Darkness soundtrack n Oblivion was wonderful. Also the zelda tunes.. Well it was a nice experience. They did Dancing Mad at Play? That's awesome! I went to it in Toronto (a 10-12 hour drive from where I live in Winnipeg) and it was amazing - there weren't a lot of sound tech problems at all, maybe just where I was sitting. I wish I could've gone to the Sydney one because I was there last month. The Eminence Orchestra concert was two days before I arrived and Play! would be a month after I left... dang.

Sgt. Fuzzy Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I don't know if the program differs from region to region, but here was the one I went for last night (managed to get the last two tickets, phew): PLAY! A Video Game Symphony - Fanfare Super Mario Bros. - Suite Shenmue & Shenmue II - Sedge Tree Lost Odyssey - Main Theme Sonic the Hedgehog - Suite Metal Gear Solid - Main Theme Blue Dragon - Main Theme Kingdom Hearts - Suite Final Fantasy VI - Dancing Mad Intermission Daytona USA - Main Theme on piano by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Suite Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross - Suite World of Warcraft - Suite Halo - Suite Castlevania - Suite The Legend of Zelda - Suite Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel Shinobi - Suite The whole thing was worth going for simply because of To Far Away Times (Chrono Trigger). A tear actually rolled down my cheek when the final notes died away. Also notable were Super Mario Bros (though far too short in my opinion), Oblivion, Kingdom Hearts, Daytona USA (more on this later), WoW and One Winged Angel. Now about Daytona: The piece in itself was good, but what made the performance was the attitude of Mitsuyoshi-san; he sauntered in waving a Sonic plushie, placing it on the piano amid cheers, then a few words, ending with "This piece is titled Let's Go Away, so enjoy, but please... Don't Go Away." The audience roared with laughter. We were cheering throughout the entire song, even though at times his voice broke and he couldn't hold the notes, and even more so when he stood up, took a bow, and hurled the plushie into the audience. Great stuff. After the show I bought a shirt (the white one) for $30 (about US$16) and made a promise with my friend to go again if it ever came back.

watkinzez Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 That was pretty good damn good, especially the organ solo in Dancing Mad- pretty damn big organ to play it on too. And Sonic doesn't really work with an orchestra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirware Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I went to the Sydney Saturday one. It was awesome. Dancing Mad was great, I couldn't believe the amount of pressure that player must have had, playing such a long solo on the largest organ in the world in front of a full house @_@. Chrono Trigger was surprisingly underwhelming, but Zelda was so loud and great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
