Distant Dreams
Distant Dreams concert with Final Fantasy music and the SF Symphony.
Wow one of the best concerts I've ever been to! Very fun and formal with songs and personalities and video! I don't think there could have been a better setting for the event. They played about 2 hours worth of songs spanning the FF universe of games. It seeemed many people in the audience were emotionally thrilled by the live music that went with the video above the symphony.
Strangely enough, the symphonic players had no idea how popular it was going to be, and being someone who was in a stage orchestral band myself, they had the most stunned faces of anyone in the crowd. The head violinist was even a bit annoyed at how excited people were when she tried to begin tuning the group. She was probably looking into the crowd once in a while and wondering why everyone was crying. Some of the first row area of violins also took the time to turn back and look at the monitor when people were laughing. I guess they weren't shown the video that was to accompany their work.
Great times, good fun. If it ever comes back in town I recommend everyone see it if you can!
