Bill ,___ I am very curious as to WHO the lineup of players was with Ratdog. Also about orchestrational arrangements with the Marin Symphony . I should have gone to this one! |

It wasn't exactly Ratdog but, rather, "friends" consisting of: Jeff Chimenti - grand piano Jay Lane - drums Rob Wasserman - bass Pat Klobas - bass Robin Sylvester -bass So it 2/3 of Ratdog were there. Two of the bassists played upright and one played a Fender. The First set was with about 10 orchestra personal: a couple of violins, a viola (I think), a couple of cellos, some brass and woodwind, and a choir. The second set included the full orchestra. It appeared they were filming it. If it comes out on DVD, BUY IT! I did record some of it on my phone which has HD recording (ain't technology amazin'!). There were signs everywhere announcing that recording was o.k., just no tripods. Bill, tgo |

Bill , Very Cool! Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to finding the DVD if and when it becomes available, even just a an audio CD would be exciting. Wolf |

Bill; if I'm reading right, there were no breaks between songs. The whole thing sounds intriguing, especially with Bill's "wow" critique, but I'm guessing the Dark Star might especially have been interesting. |

I ran a search. Apparently there was a "175-page softcover book that was printed for the occasion". There's a nice review, and background, of the show here. |

The review mentioned the closing "Attics" as being especially nice; so I checked youtube. Beautiful! |
