A Bit Of Live @ Night Of The Proms News, CT talkin about I alone, TSUFL included, possible duet ? Options

[SecretInsomnia]

Some Night of the Proms facts I came across...

- "Just met the arranger for the Night At The Proms orchestra. 80 pieces of strings, woodwinds and brass on I Alone, thats gonna be fun." - Chad Taylor at his Twitter site

- The Nights of the Proms site of Belgium is linking to the acoustic/piano video of They Stood up for Love. So I guess we can count at at least IA and TSUFL.

- Ed said recently he's a big fan of Sinnead OÇonner and is trying to do a duet with her (don't now if that's going to happen?). Don't remember were I read that, I think it was on the Dutch board

All sounds good. Isn't Sinnead O'Conner that crazy girl though, who ripped up a picture of the Pope. Or am I thinking of someone else?

That's her but I detest people saying she is crazy... everyone else is crazy for trying to silence her free speech. I've seen that performance and it took balls to do that; I'm pretty sure she received thousands of death threats from religious nuts out there.

If anyone is like wtf are these idiots yabbing on about here is the clip

I dunno if she's crazy, but she certainly isn't the most level headed person, regardless, she has a great voice.

And seriously, of course TSUFL and I Alone will be included, they are most likely not going the change the set list much at all ... hell I don't think they ever will.

I called her crazy as that what I've heard other people say when they've been talking about her. I have no personal opinion.

haha what do you mean, not changing the setlist? I was wondering bout which songs will be played, because (ofcourse) there won't be a real setlist, just a few songs. Don't count on more than 4 songs.

Next songs I think could fit a classic orchestra: Lightning Crashes, I Alone, TSUFL, Run to the Water, Overcome, Heaven, Lakini's Juice and Turn my Head and maybe a few others.

btw Sinnead O'Connor's voice in Troy is really brilliant!

I'm guessing they'll play Mystery seeing as how that has strings on it anyways.
I can honestly see them trying to make an orchestra work with the songs they already play rather than choosing songs that would be fit an orchestra..

yeah, that's what I meant, but I mean: if they play only a few songs there's still much choice as they can play 30 diff songs nowaydays. Mystery would fit also indeed. But theý haven't played it for a while now.

Just remember how tremendous LJ would be. I can do without any other song with an orchestra but LJ

I was just checking out some of the pics over at the NOTP website.

Take a look at the massive screen they're using!

[Merica]

Woooow, that looks fantastic.

I dunno about Forever played live normally... but I could honestly see it with the strings at Night of the Proms. Thoughts?

They have it listed on their website as their new single, so I don't see why they wouldn't play it.

I meant I think it would suck. There are no guitars or bass... it would be another Overcome.

I like the song though, don't get me wrong.

yeah but i don't think that says anything. Night of the Proms is most of the times about the classic feeling and playing the good old songs of a band, not really a promoting thing for yourself. By that, I doubt if Forever is already well known by the audience by the time the first shows start.
