The idea of having a choir to fill out the harmonies in the chorus of Cry of Achilles (let alone a bunch of other songs) is just staggering to me, if they decide to do that.

Show Me A Leader with orchestra and a choir could be incredible as well. I always thought that song deserved so much more in the studio.

A small interview by Tremonti about RAH DVD.

He says they will have 2 days of rehearsal with the orchestra. Isn't short time for a big show like this?

I suppose if it's two full days they will be able to run through the full set's-worth of songs maybe 10 times? Not bad IMO. I doubt they'll be doing a bunch of real-time brainstorming on arrangements anyway, given the orchestral parts will presumably be entirely written beforehand.

The orchestra has already been working on their arrangements I'd say, and I believe I read somewhere the orchestra just plays to the speed of the drummer at an event like this, so I would say they'll be fine with a couple days.

I mean if the orchestra can pick up the rhythm and the pacing of the band on the fly as great as something like this, I think everything will be fine.

Scored 4 tickets to this on the presale!! YEEEaaaah!!

Got a box seat as well, right next to the stage.

WTF?????!?!?! Tickemaster website says there are no tickets available?????

I get newsletters from the Albert Hall and bought them direct from their website, I got a pre-sale code this morning. I'll see if it still works.

Give it a go. I don't know if it will work though.

I'm the queue now on RAH website....urghhh!

Don't forget to put the code in. Otherwise it looks like nothing is available.

Woooo I'm in! Frickin' Ticketmaster. Up in the Gods...but I'll be there on the Tuesday night

If you're in the top ring, it's actually a pretty good view. I saw David Gilmour from there and it was great. Get there early though because the standing spaces fill out.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but do you think there will be a supporting act? I would assume not for this type of show, but I'm unfamiliar with orchestral adapted rock shows and the Royal Albert Hall as a music venue in general.

I don't think there will be a support act. The Royal Albert Hall site just says the Alter Bridge show will start at 19:30. I'm hoping its just them to be honest!!!

Congratulations! Also got box seat (box O?) next to the stage. Not sure if those are the best seats, but at least got 'm

Two days of rehearsal is plenty. AB knows how to play their songs. The orchestra will be full of musicians who could probably sight read through all the music first pass. It'll just be bringing together those two elements, working on transitions, etc...

I'm hoping for some amazing interludes between songs.

I can't believe it, i really got a ticket! Flight from Switzerland is booked, Hotel as well. I literally believe this is going to be the absolutely greatest concert I have ever been. Can't wait till October!
