OT Game of Thrones Concert

[Alonzo]

Son gave us tickets to see a Game of Thrones concert last night.  I have to say, I enjoyed the performance and the spectacle.  I would recommend it if it comes to your area. The conductor/mc/performer Djawadi, takes you thru all the seasons so far and goes thru supporting and dramatic music for all of the defining scenes in the shows.  A good 2.5 hours of music and video.  Also some unique and original music instruments used.

But last night the production was a C-.  The mikes for all solo or feature performers were poorly mixed, drowned out by the supporting symphony and chorus. 
I had to see how it was supposed to sound so I fired up Spotify and all 3 amps to play thru his albums.  Couldn't decide which would do the music justice so I just played all three.  Who knew it would sound so good! Wish it would've sounded as clear last night.

Thanks for the suggestion!  I just noticed that show is playing in Seattle tonight.

I just recently became aware of Ramin Djawadi and his extensive catalog.  I'm not familiar with his GoT work, but I can say the Westworld soundtrack is very nice.  I usually don't go in for covers much, or instrumentalizations of popular music (in an interview, Djawadi refers to them as 'piano reductions,' which seems a much more apt description), but Djawadi's adaptations have a lot more feeling than the typical Muzak treatment, to say the least.
