bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) The Bergen Performing Arts Center has a capacity of 1,367. The CV cellcerter says the venue looks like a refurbished movie theater - it's very long and narrow. The stage is not very deep, so Clay won't have much room to manuver in front of the orchestra. It's 7:50, and the orchestra members are taking their seats. The annoucer said the performance is in two parts, so it should be the regular program - symphony, than Clay. Cellcerter estimates it's 80% or more full. Edited December 6, 2006 by bottlecap
bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) From the CH Just got a report from playbiller, at the concert - the balcony is sold out except for the last two rows! The cellcerter keeps going on about how small the stage is - the conductor will be right behind Clay. The crotch talk has started already.... The show is starting. So far the sound quality for the music is not great. Angels We Have Heard on High / Joy to the World / Deck the Halls - very fast medley. Edited December 6, 2006 by bottlecap

bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 The conductor (who is a woman btw) said something after the first song, but it was not understandable over the stream. I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas. [Not me personally - I hate snow. ]
djs111 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Hey! My scoop got scooped! y'all are quick! But yes, looks pretty full at the theater....according to playbiller. I am jellus as heck.
bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 The next song I don't recognize - it's very fast and horn-heavy. O Holy Night.

djs111 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 She has already hung up, I think she will call back at intermission...the sound wasn't coming over her cell phone too well. But will def. tell her everyone said Hi!!

bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Let It Snow. What Child is This. The strings and the percussion are coming through on the stream pretty well, but the conductor is still hard to hear. Hopefully, Clay will be more intelligible. Something Strauss-ish now. Definitely a waltz.
Claygasm Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 The next song I don't recognize - it's very fast and horn-heavy. O Holy Night. Why did I read this as "its very fast and horny"!
muskifest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 pant pant! I'm home! He won't be on for another 19 minutes, right? I have time to walk the doggie! Ok...back in a few...I hope...
bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Yikes - my computer spazzed out and I had to re-boot. When I reconnected, the orchestra was playing something very ompah-y and the crowd is clapping along.
Couch Tomato Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 I'm here too...listening to Clay Radio... guess we'll connect soon.
bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 It's 8:45, and the intermission is starting. CV is all about wanting to hold Clay's baton, bikini waxes, and the need for proper lubrication. It's shocking I tell you. :o
Ansamcw Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Posted December 6, 2006 CH celcert is on but no commentaries so far... was are just hearing all kinds of people greeting each other.
djs111 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 playbiller has been counting seats and says there are less than 120 left in the building....
Claygasm Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Just read this at the CH as part of a Verona recap. The bolded part made me smile. The musicians were fully engaged last night and seemed to have a great time. One female musician was crying at the end of AIW.
Ansamcw Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Posted December 6, 2006 playbiller has been counting seats and says there are less than 120 left in the building.... thats pretty funny... so Clay is out and singing...CW that weird cos there was a really long pause between the announcement and when the cheers started and Clay came out singing. Sounding really good as usual...I really like this song as the beginning of the concert. oops we lost the signal its back and its in and out.
bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 From CV: Cord. velvet suit, black shirt, black tie Is this the outfit I've been waiting for? EEEEEE! Christmas Waltz followed by screaming.
muskifest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 CG I just LOVE reading things like that...whenever someone who knows good music appreciates Clay's talents, it just makes me... Holy crap! Who the hell is screaming so much?
bottlecap Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Underwater and in a tunnel tonight. Oh joy. I can make out that he's singing TFN. No talking yet.
