]]> Comment on Getty Address revisited by Kevin P. http://usefulchamber.com/getty-address-revisited/comment-page-1/#comment-169 Kevin P. Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:14:27 +0000 http://usefulchamber.com/?p=543#comment-169 I saw the NYC show @ the Allen Room in Lincoln Center and the whole event was phenomenal! I was not yet familiar with 'the Getty Address', so the impression was pure; nevertheless the arrangement with Alarm Will Sound and of course the three sirens' voices was transcendent. The room was acoustically perfect, an ideal venue -- a bit of a step up from a Brooklyn "performance space", though not as cozy, I'm sure. I hope some (legit) recording was made of this performance, especially video, so others can at least get a sense of the experience.

I have already purchased tickets to the L.A. show. I don't have The Getty Address yet, so now I know what I need to purchase. Thanks for bringing this news.

For example, you cannot purchase a t-shirt anywhere, I am hoping they have them on sale at their shows (going Fri). And, they should really consider taping that show they are doing with the LA Orchestra, I would love to go to the show but spending hundreds of dollars for 1 concert is just not feasible. I think that would sell...I'd buy it. I feel it is pretty hard to buy their merch. For example, you cannot purchase a t-shirt anywhere, I am hoping they have them on sale at their shows (going Fri).

That was me that taped the Bonnaroo set.
