sorry if this is in the wrong section, mods feel free to move it if it is..

some of the members on here of more advanced years will no doubt remember an LP that came out in 1978 "Jeff Waynes Musical Version of the War of the Worlds. It has been a best seller ever since selling over 14 million copies worldwide

last April, after much waiting and rehearsals, Jeff Wayne finally took the show on the road around UK playing 14 dates and selling out each venue

A further tour has been announced for December of this year and its sure to be a sell out.

for more info visit WotW forum

I already have my tickets, Manchester and Cardiff::D:

What do you mean more advanced years, I had the LP until it disappeared same time my BF did and I'm not advanced years

I'm hoping for the Newcastle venue, just hope I can get a saturday off work to do it
 
I got the cassette (remember the? lol) of this off EBay last year. Love listening to it on the commute to and from work.
 
It is..............................

'There between the fighting machine and the ferry stood the iron clad Thunder child'
 
If only I was old enough to have a clue what you guys were talking about....
 
Richard Burton - the man with the silver voice - good at reading Under Milkwood too!!
Envious of you all - but have my eye on another show in the summer - so cant do everything I guess!

I remember, "Two feet of shining screw projected when suddenly, the lid fell off." Seems to be missing this bit

Bought the CD a few months ago - "Thunder Child" still gets the old spine tingling - now where did I put my tank top that goes with my "Falmer" baggy jeans and platform shoes! :PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
" I've got a plan" (David Essex the artilleryman)

Now we know what inspired Baldrick

walking singly Strasse at Laarbruch when WOTW came out was magic, I think evrybody had bought a copy, I know I did. Still got the magazine of prints too. Got the CD in the car.
 
Phil Lynott and Julie Covington, "Parson Nathaniel" and "The spirit of man" That guy had an awesome voice and no-one could replace Richard Burton as the narrator, it just wouldn't be cricket...... dear old thing :PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
I've got the double CD (16 years old). Bought it as a fresh faced Jelly Tot down at Saints when I heard 'Forever Autumn' being belted out of the blocks on West Camp.
 
Although I cannot claim the original LP (it belongs to my dad!) I love War of the Worlds, still remember being scared sh1tless as a kid just after the Forever Autumn track the machines making that horrible 'OOOOOO LAAAAAA' sound!
 
Never got the original album when it came out in 78, but got the double cassette when at Halton in 84. Was better to listen to that the continuious "BAT OUT OF HELL" that was heard around Maitland at that time!!
(Got it on CD when back at Halton for IMLC in 05!)

Mrs Gladiator gave the me the DVD of the new show for Christmas. My neighbours asked me to turn it up so they could hear it; I'd love to see it live. It's amazing!
 
a small clip of the CGI film that plays on the back screen of the stage while the action takes place

CGI Film

the town that gets blitzed by the martian fighting machines near the end is Weybridge im told... (couldnt happen to a nicer place!)
 
I remember being a very small scaley brat getting closer to the speakers of my dad's 'stereogram' to listen to the LP of the War of the Worlds.

"Noone would have believed that in the last years of the nineteenth centuary... ...swarmed and multiplied in a drop of water. Noone could have believed that life existed on other planets, and yet, accross the gulf of space, slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us." DUN DUN DUUUHHH!!!, DUN DUN DAH......

love it.
 
Ahhh run for the hills..........no not those hills....
