Liveblogging - Thriller Free Zone '08

[acroyear]

• Warmed up with Marillion, tracks from Somewhere in London
  
• Officially starting out with tracks from Cirque's most intense show, Corteo (Reminder, Kooza is in DC as of yesterday, 5 weeks)
  
• Once upon a time from Cirque's La Nouba
• Stella Errans from Cirque's Dralion (what a voice!)
  
• Tangerine Dream's Green Desert (abridged) - probably the spookiest drum solo ever
  
• Pink Floyd's Terminal Frost
• One of These Days, Pulse video/dvd version (incl Dr. Who theme on slide guitar)
• Genesis's Home by the Sea (first and second, Live '93)
• Title track from Trick of a Tale (that album is like pure Steampunk, in my opinion...)
• Steve Hackett's guitar madness of Vampire with a Healthy Appetite
• What is probably my fav this time of year, The Steppes, which has been played at least 2 other times since I started logging
• Alan Parson's Dream within a Dream and The Raven
• As long as I'm in the 70s, Alice Cooper's Welcome to my Nightmare makes this year's list
• along with I Love the Dead.  Certainly a classic...
• Further back in time we reach the Beatles with some classics from Magical Mystery Tour
• Fool on the Hill
• Flying
• Blue Jay Way
• Now we'll head for Hollywood with some soundtracks, starting with The Black Hole
• Musical excerpts from classic Dr. Who, Mawdryn Undead and Ghost Light
• Followed by some new Murray Gold Who, his themes for the Daleks and the Cybermen
• Danny Elfman's Beetlejuice main theme (and it's 845 and things seem to be winding down...)
• Elmer Bernstein's theme music (not the Ray Parker Jr song) from Ghostbusters
• Two orchestral pieces from The Matrix
• and then I'm just going to let it run down with Prokofiev's Scythian Suite

Sounds like a cool mix! We (my 80's band, Great Scott) actually played part 1 of Home by the Sea last night...we could've done part 2 as well, but we've found that the folks in the bars kind of check out during the long instrumental. ;)

*sigh* - i'm the opposite. I kinda get tired of sitting through the song waiting for the instrumental. same with Abacab and Fading Lights.
