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!

lbpesq

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.

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 .  Beautiful!

The Attics was very beautiful  indeed !  
 Thanks for posting it Dave.
