What do these three items have in common? Well, they’re all debuting at the upcoming Distant Worlds concert that’s set for December 12, 2009 in Chicago. It’s really not fair that Arnie Roth unleashes all this awesomeness over in his home base of Chicago, as I never get to see these shows!
To pre-emptively answer your next question, yes, Nobuo Uematsu will be there as well. And so will we! While I’m of course unhappy that I won’t be able to make it there myself, OSV will be there, and we’ll have impressions of the new “Dancing Mad” and “J-E-N-O-V-A” arrangements (the latter of which should be pretty interesting with an orchestra), as well as the world premiere of music from Final Fantasy XIV. Should be an awesome show. And I hope they tack on the rockin’ ending to “Dancing Mad,” although I’m pretty sure they won’t.

Will you be making it out to the Distant Worlds concert in Chicago? Of the three premieres, which are you looking forward to the most?

Going there, I am!
I am pretty excited to see a live performance of JENOVA….
But what about Troian Beauty?
if I’dve known of this a few months earlier I would have found a way there.
Definitely “Dancing Mad”. I guess I heard “J-E-N-O-V-A” a bit too often to enjoy it as much as the first time I heard it. “Dancing Mad” on the other hand, remains 17 minutes of organ pleasure regardless of how often you listen.
They’ve done Dancing Mad at the Play concerts before, at least in Stockholm. Frankly, it felt sort of awkward and the concert hall REALLY didn’t help the sound. A+ for effort though.
Gah.. I meant the rock part felt awkward. >_< The rest was awesome. Especially the organ solo.
