We went to see Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds tonight at M.E.N. Arena.
Wow.
I've been a fan of this since its release in 1978 but to see it live on stage for the first time was an experience I'm sure everyone in the audience tonight will be talking about for years to come. One of those concerts where those who missed it will never forgive themselves.
While there's still a chance to see it, I wouldn't want to give anything away to spoil the show. Suffice to say the original artists are just as good as they were 30 years ago, and the replacements every bit as good as the originals (with apologies to David Essex and the late great Phil Lynott). The CGI was amazing, the real-life scenes totally believable and the lighting simply awesome, especially the red pencil-spots that swept the audience in imitation of the heat rays.
A stunning sensory feast in every way.
