Was it everything you imagined, brain drill? by fishface	May 20th, 2008 12:43:06 PM
I mean being first is a life's ambition isn't it?
Outstanding, I wish they'd tape the whole thing by blindambition238	May 20th, 2008 12:43:56 PM
The violinist looks like he was about to drop dead though.
Badass! by Atomik Steve	May 20th, 2008 12:47:54 PM
That was very impressive. The music is one of the best parts of the show.

Thank god. I'm not a lifeless, jobless, low class board troll. Yet.
I'm in with the "get it on the DVD" movement... by HoichiTheEarless	May 20th, 2008 01:04:29 PM
What do we do? Online petition? Send drumsticks to the Universal/NBC DVD office? Any ideas?
"Hey Bear....GRRRRRRRR!" by Kasch	May 20th, 2008 01:23:54 PM
Best Olmos line in history. The folks who saw the documentary know what I mean.

Best Thing You Can Do by ScoreKeeper	May 20th, 2008 02:16:25 PM
if you want more footage, i.e. the whole concert on DVD, is watch that film and spread the word. The more hits that video gets the more you'll get later. It's clearly just a matter of popularity and demand. Show the powers that be both and the chances increase. Read Bear's blog for more info.
I WANT THIS ON BLU-RAY TOMORROW! by Razorback	May 20th, 2008 02:21:56 PM
Too fuckin' cool.
That was from Battlestar? by SilentP	May 20th, 2008 02:23:21 PM
I don't recognize that track at all.
If You Went To This, You Are Officially The Biggest Nerd On Eart by LaserPants	May 20th, 2008 03:36:35 PM
N-E-R-D. And, no, not a hipster-geek, but a straight up pocket-protector-without-irony , eternally virginal, socially awkward (in a grating, not charming way), and maybe even mentally retarded NERD. NERDS!!!
Jump!!! by JLo	May 20th, 2008 03:45:05 PM
The episode was great!!!! I would love to see some concert footage, especially on season 4 DVD.
SlientP by flickchick85	May 20th, 2008 03:58:44 PM
Yeah, that track was from "Unfinished Business." It's also one of my least favorite cues from S3. I really prefer the orchestral stuff, which it doesn't look like they were able to do for this concert. Oh well, I still want to see it. Hope it ends up on the DVD.
LaserPants by Kasch	May 20th, 2008 04:11:49 PM
News flash: You're an AICN Talkbacker. Hell, you have the word "Laser" in your screenname. You're automatically more of a pathetic dweeb than ANYONE who attended that show. Pot n' the kettle, ya fuckin' nerd.
Damn, wish I had been in the audience. by skydemon	May 20th, 2008 04:28:46 PM
This is just frakin cool!
Concert DVD, orchestra, and more by Tangent	May 20th, 2008 04:56:13 PM
Hey guys, Andrew Craig here with a few responses for some of the things people have commented on. gotham_night- Two things. First up, this has only been up for a little over a week. Bear made the post late night on May 11th. Secondly, you can pull video of youtube to be sure. The only issue with that is that the video quality is terrible, the audio is inconsistent, and its all shot from mid audience. G4, however, had three cameras there shooting (one up at the very front of the stage, two in the VIP section) and they were using real cameras so when you see the full resolution footage, it looks way better then anything off youtube. SlientP- The exact track is called "Fight Night." It was more of a rock show then an "orchestra" show, but a lot of it had to do with space. As it was, fitting two percussionists, a drummer, two guitarists, two violinists, one violist, one cellist, one guy on wind instruments, a bass player, two guitarists and the keyboards was a mighty task. Maybe if response is high enough, the gang will play a bigger venue next year and get the entire orchestra on that stage... blindambition238- Paul Cartwright is one of the more talented violinists I have ever met. It isn't that hes about to drop dead, but that he gets so incredibly into everything hes doing. Hell, the man jumps up and down while playing sometimes. He has an incredible amount of energy and if you ask anyone who went to the show, he was clearly one of the most appreciated musicians on that stage. A true rock star if I've ever seen one.
LaserPants by Double M	May 20th, 2008 04:58:16 PM
Um your name is LaserPants. I would not throw stones in the glass house that is AICN talkback.
Tangent by blindambition238	May 20th, 2008 05:54:21 PM
When I said that he looked like he was going to drop dead that was basically what I meant. He looked so into it I thought he was in a drug induced trance. Don't worry I have the utmost respect for violinists, as someone who had to play the damned thing for a few years (quite badly I might add).
blindambition238 by Tangent	May 20th, 2008 06:05:52 PM
Yeah, the guy is amazing. A friend of mine had me ask him if he got beat up a lot in high school and his response was "No, they just wouldn't let me be in their rock bands." He has an insane amount of talent. Go see Brendan's Band if you get a chance. They won't be playing til probably July (as Steve is in London orchestrating on Hellboy II) but they put on a great show.
More BSG videos by Splatterpunk69	May 20th, 2008 07:32:51 PM
Hey guys, G4 actually has 2 more Galactica Live! videos.... One is an interview with Bear: http://www.g4tv.com/thepile/vi deos/21659/Geek_Out_BSG_Live_T he_Music_of_Bear_McCreary.html ...and the other is a more traditional Galactica cut, this one being "Roslin & Adama" (you might like this one Flickchick85): http://www.g4tv.com/thepile/vi deos/21769/BSG_Live_Roslin__Ad ama_Music_Video.html Thanks for checking them out!
Thanks Splatterpunk by flickchick85	May 20th, 2008 08:52:57 PM
I did like that one more. Looks like they at least a few violins there. I doubt it was enough to do tracks like "The Shape of Things to Come," "Prelude to War," or "Something Dark is Coming," but they worked nicely for that rendition of "Roslin and Adama." Now I REALLY want to see this on the DVD.
Oops by flickchick85	May 20th, 2008 08:57:26 PM
Hadn't read Tangent's post before I posted. So they certainly made the most out of 2 violins, 1 violist, and a cellist. It sounded great.
I hope they post "Watchtower" by Razorback	May 20th, 2008 09:26:16 PM
That was the best performance of the night.
[jaw drops to floor] by LegoKenobi	May 20th, 2008 11:33:54 PM
that was frackin' AWESOME. please make a full DVD in 5.1!
Simply Wonderful by dumbpeoplesuck	May 21st, 2008 01:56:55 AM
It's things like this that make this site worth coming to. Mr. McCreary, hats off to you. The body of music you've created for this show is just incredible. One CD per season just isn't enough. Just another reason this concert needs a DVD release. It's mandatory.
Steve Bartek by BV	May 21st, 2008 05:36:54 AM
God bless Steve Bartek. The man works hard and rocks even harder. He looks like he's havin' fun bangin' away on those drums.
I was there by Droogie Alex	May 22nd, 2008 03:08:36 AM
Check out "Black Market" on you tube. Very Led Zep like
