Just back from Utrecht.
A nice appreciative crowd, not sold out.
It's more a Rock concert than a film music performance, some things work in their beefed-up version, others don't.
But a great experience and I highly doubt I'll ever get the opportunity to see the Horror-master again.

I think my last visit to the Tyne Theatre was to see Sean Bean as Romeo in his RSC days, early 80s.
Lets just rewind here in case you missed it? Sean Bean?!!!! On stage?!! Traitor!!

Have a great time, TG! Looking forward to your review.
Thanks for your interest!
And the rest of you, you can't fool me, you're all with child to know about this concert  .
The seats haven't changed in the old Stoll in the last 40-odd years, still uncomfortable after sitting for 90 minutes with nothing happening (no, I didn't see Star Trek The Motion Picture there on release) but when John Carpenter brought his slightly nepotistic band onto the stage - son Cody and godson Daniel Davies made up half the strength - the hard seats and lack of legroom were all but forgotten for 90 minutes or so.
Getting off to a great start with Escape From New York, JC ran through many of his themes, including a couple of the "Lost" ones. As you'd expect, clips of the films were played behind them, and it made me want to catch up with them again. Smoke effects, of course, during The Fog, and there was a knowledgeable cheer when the band played a bar or two of a new "song", as Carpenter called them, then stopped and put on dark glasses for one particular track.
More wordless minimalist rock than anything else, this was a thoroughly enjoyable set. The audience profile was younger than I expected, which probably reflects the new Halloween as much as anything. The music is deceptively simple but beautifully realised. Very glad that I made the trip.

I saw him in Toronto last year. Great show. Bring cash for the mech table. Some really great stuff for sale.
Do you mean merch table? Or does it transform into a bipedal battle suit?
