More Dead Can Dance tickets went on sale earlier this week, so I now have tickets for the Hollywood and New York concerts. Those join the two nights in Oakland and one in San Diego that I had already purchased.
The Hollywood Bowl concert will feature backing from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, which should make for a phenomenally unique gig. I can’t wait for that one. According to Brendan Perry, who I spoke to backstage at the London Forum concert in early April, the New York concert will also feature a full orchestra, but I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere else yet.
I’m still not sure how the logistics of all of this are going to work. We’ll have a new baby in tow and will likely be coming from Europe at the time. Who will babysit? How will we get around? Will I even feel like doing all of this travel once I’m a new dad? Will Sarah?
Well, we have the tickets now. If we ultimately decide that the prospect of two itinerant weeks in the US is just too overwhelming, we can always resort to selling them on eBay.
Otherwise, we’re already set to see Dead Can Dance a whopping five times during their North American tour: a very exciting prospect. Once tickets for Boston go on sale, I plan to add those to the pile, too, bringing our total attendance to six concerts.
If you’re interested in picking up a CD of one of the recent European concerts, your time is running out. The limited edition CDs of those concerts are almost sold out, with Madrid the only concert still available. These CDs should start shipping soon. I can’t wait.
