Re: Final Fantasy Concert

Big, sold-out Orchestrial concert at Rosemont Theatre in Illinois.  Full orchestra and chorus performing music from Final Fantasy games.  Played mostly stuff from the PSX games, but also had this big medley from FF1-3 (only one song from 3 though...).  Had "One Winged Angel" as a not-unexpected encore.  Nobuo Uematsu came up on stage and got a huge standing ovation.  He spoke some questions in Japanese, and his interpreter translated them.  The questions were survey questions, mostly about whether you came from out of Chicago area, out of state, out of country, and finally out of planet (which many in the crowd affirmed).  Also asked about if you would promise to see his band, The Black Mages perform.
