Distant Worlds

In a non-picture post today, I attended the Distant Worlds concert last night, which is music from the Final Fantasy series. Overall I quite enjoyed it. Only real disappointment was that there was no chorus present which meant some things that would have been nice to hear weren't performed. Ah well! Still enjoyable.

Here's the playlist (more-or-less in order):

  • FF7 Intro
  • Victory Theme
  • FF8 Battle Theme
  • Medley from 1-3 (including the prelude and fanfare)
  • Suteki da ne (FF10 - sung in english by Susan Calloway)
  • Dear Friends (FF5)
  • Vamo Alla Flamenco (FF9)
  • Rosa's Theme (FF4)
  • Chocobo Theme (FF14 version) leading into Swing de Chocobo
(intermission)
  • Man with the Machine Gun (FF8)
  • To Zanarkand (FF10)
  • Kiss Me Goodbye (FF12 - Susan Calloway again)
  • Aerith's Theme (FF7)
  • You're not Alone (FF9)
  • Battle on the Big Bridge (FF5)
  • Blinded by Light (FF13)
  • Eyes on Me (FF8 - Susan Calloway again)
  • Ronfaure (FF11 - I was hoping for Distant Worlds, being the song that gives the concert series its name, but I guess the concert version has a choral backup which would have made it difficult to do without a chorus)
  • Terra's Theme (FF6)
You may be asking yourself - where's "One Winged Angel"? They wouldn't do a Final Fantasy concert without One Winged Angel, would they? Well, no. It was the encore (of course), though without a chorus, it was done karaoke style (not kidding!) which was kind of fun - even showed the lyrics on the video screen.

Anyway, that's all for the moment.
