Just so you, Distant Worlds is worth EVERY penny!

(The topic was supposed to say "Just so you know")

I got to see Distant Worlds Music From Final Fantasy a lil' while ago in Chicago, and...it. was. Thee. Single. Greatest. Concert. OF MY LIFE! It was AMAZING!

Benyamin Nuss playing Those Who Fight on piano from FFVII was epic! I couldn't believe my eyes how fast his hands where moving!

Susan Colloway singing Novas Crystallis from FFXIII brought tears to my eyes! (She's from Detroit, too!)

TThe greatest moment was when Arnie Roth (the conductor) was like:

"For our final encore, we're going to do One Winged Angel!"

I thought: "What-a-minute! There's no choir down there!" (The choir was absent for the second concert. I went to both, DW I and DW II.)

And he went on to say "We're doing something special, by making YOU the audience the World's Largest Choir!"

We got to sing One Winged Angel! Oh man! Nerdgasm! It was even BETTER when Nobuo Uematsu (the composer for EVERY FF except XIII) got on stage to ppump up the audience!

I am NEVER forgetting that day EVER! It was SO good! When it comes back to Detroit, GO!! It's worth it!!

Actually, I take it back! The coolest part was when Arnie Roth and Nobuo Uematsu did a duet for Dark Worlds from FFVI! We actually got the see Nobuo Uematsu AND Arnie Roth perform! They've NEVER done that before! Which made it especially special!

Distant Worlds? (first time hearing of any of the artists you listed) *googles real fast*

Distant Worlds is a concert where a live orchestra plays music from the Final Fantasy series. We're talking a 40-50 piece orchestra (+choir during Distant Worlds I)! Oh man, it was one of thee greatest days of my LIFE!!

I can't embed videos on my phone, but this was taken at the concert I was at (during the final encore where the audience got to sing the Latin lyrics). At the very end, you can see Nobuo Uematsu (he's the one in the bandana and Jedi robes).

Oh hey! It embeds them automatically! That's pretty NEAT!
