Didymus 34,379 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think so too. Are we supposed to day what we prefer in this thread btw? 'cause I prefer a smaller band for the tour, I love a full orchestra for a special recording like the PBS Special though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwerk 6,984 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I there anywhere you can check what the setup will be?I like both. Orchestra because it adds so much depth especially with some violins it's very pretty. But I also love it with just the bands cause it's more jazzy, spontaneous. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I hope Gent has the orchestra but im 99% sure it wont be.. ?Yeah, I think the same thing and it makes me kinda sad :( I looked up photos from last years and the stage was very small and not deep at all. So if they don't organize it differently, we will have the small band :( I hope that at least we get the complete light show and accessories! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDoe 19 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I just now noticed that not every date has the full band and orchestra I guess it depends on the venue At Tivoli yesterday, they had two bands behind them on stage. An actual orchestra didn't make an appearance, though I kept hoping some of the violins etc. would pop in as extra backing for one of the songs, perhaps from the old bandstand hidden behind the rear curtain (the stage used to be for circus performances, so there was an elevated bandstand backstage), or maybe responding from their concert hall at the other end of the venue.

JohnDoe 19 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 oh. what do you mean by two bands exactly?Behind them on stage were two pianos and two platforms. Each piano had its own person playing it and each platform had the rest of a jazz band on it (drummer, bass, various others). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lg5 1,462 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I went to the Houston show and it had the small band and no diamond curtain and it was just fine. It didn't bother me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slojo 51 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think it depends on the songs. Some work better with a big Band / Orchestra and some work best with just the small Quartet or Quintet. I think when a big band is really rocking they sound fantastic thoughGiven the choice I would like to see both set up available at the show but I guess sometimes logistics just don't allow for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
