Jeff Wayne's : War of the Worlds livestream

Postby Povey on Sat Jul 18, 2009 7:24 pm

Tuesday, 22:30 GMT on BBC Radio 2

Steve Lamacq presents The War Of The Worlds performed live at London's 02 Arena, with Jeff Wayne conducting The Black Smoke Band, The ULLAdubULLA Strings; and featuring Jennifer Ellison, The Moody Blues' Justin Hayward, Manfred Mann's Chris Thompson; and the voice of Richard Burton.

Inspired by HG Wells' famous novel, the prog rock and classical album was released in June 1978, and has since spent over 330 weeks in the UK Album Chart and won two Ivor Novello Awards. This multi-media stage version was produced to mark the 30th anniversary of the album's release and was recorded by Radio 2 on 21 June 2009.

I saw this a few years ago in Manchester. Apparently it's even better now. All the lazers and shit are better, and they actually melt people in the crowd...
