Hey everyone! Well, I finally had the opportunity last night to see the Blue Man Group perform, and the experience was awesome! A lot of the songs were great that they performed, but for me, the best moment of the show was the Last Train To Transcentral performance. Basically, its everything you have read about it, and then some. Towards the end of the show, the BMG guys run up to the balcony area, where I was sitting, and start unfurling all of this toilet paper all over the place. So they had us grab the stuff, and throw it down to the audience below. Needless to say, the entire auditorium got covered in the stuff. The actual performance of Transcentral itself was amazing. Now then, its not the original KLF version, but since well probably never hear Bill and Jimmy ever perform it live well, this is about as close as we can get to it. The song was literally booming in the multi-channel surround audio setup they had in the theatre. Ive heard Transcentral many times before on my DVD player emulating 5.1 sound but this version was literally just amazing! The only downside to the whole experience was that they didnt allow much in the terms of dancing to the music. I got yelled at by security to sit down after screaming Bring out the JAMs Blue Man Group! and began jumping around. So if you go, dont expect yourself to be able to dance around to the music much, because theyll just yell at you to sit down. After the full performance of Transcentral, they replayed it again, this time playing only half of the song. Then the lights went out, and people were clapping and screaming encore. So .. Transcentral went back into full blast mode again, and the song played away while they introduced all the other performers and staff that help made the show possible. They played about ¾ of the song until they finally stopped, and the show ended. All I can say is, well .if you ever get the chance to see BMG live, go see it, especially if their venue performs Transcentral. Believe me, it is definently worth the price of admission. Finally Although no credit was given to the KLF for Transcentral during the show (except in the lyrics which I have a feeling most people in the audience thought BMG wrote), they did have a huge stack of White Room CDs for sale. I was quite surprised by that, but they had copies of the Arista Records USA release of the CD on sale. This version was the one that includes the Justified and Ancient EP on it. So, to sum it all up, go see this show! You wont be disappointed in the Transcentral performance!
That's really weird Adam as I have just returned from Las Vegas myself, (I got married there) and saw the same show. We had a group booking for 22 people and went to see them on Sun 30th. I loved the show in it's entirity but was utterly gobsmacked when LTTT came in! Everyone in the row looked straight at me! Nick King (who is also on this list) came to the wedding and BMG show and he bought a DVD copy of the show so i'm sure he'll let us know if it's included on that. Go and see it folks if you get the chance :) Phil. ----- Original Message ----- From: Adam Wolfson To: 'All bound for Mu-Mu Land.'
