[Music] Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds

[Super Steve Earle]

It's late after I've just seen the show at The Centre. Powerful stuff I must say. Justin Hayward, Claire Richards (Steps), Duncan James (Blue), Kevin Clifton (Strictly), Nathan James (Inglorious), and Jeff Wayne's daughter Anna-Marie (yes, she is the weakest link) put on a cracking show. Loads of tech, flames, Martian stuff, lasers etc and to top it off, they announced that the terrific guitarist I admired all night was one Chris Spedding.
Looked like a lot of the audience could have been Albion fans too. Anyone else go this time around?

No, but I should have done.

A few people wearing Albion shirts, scarves etc then?

Seen it at the Brighton centre a couple of times with different casts. Incredible show.
The Richard Burton vs Liam Neeson debate is negligible as both portrayals were terrific.

I’d equally recommend the immersive VR version in London:

I’d have loved to be there!
It is one of my favourite all time albums and we have a dvd version of a London performance.. that is great with headphones. I must play it again …..

I’ve seen it a couple of times and it’s as good live as the original album. A true musical masterpiece.

I’m amazed and pleased that Justin Hayward is still performing it. His finest hour. I’d assumed, though, that none of the original cast would be involved any more.

I must go again next time it is on. I’ve got out of the gig habit these last two years.

I should have gone too. Gutted I missed this again.

Was local Ditchling resident and bass supremo Herbie Flowers on stage?

No. The only other name I recognised when the band was announced was Laurie Wisefield from Wishbone Ash.

I went, absolutely blown away by the performers. Duncan James was excellent and Justin Haywood can still belt out a tune at 75 years old. Stage effects stunning.

Didn't go this time, but did go to the War of the Worlds Interactive show a couple of weeks back. Great fun and highly recomended.

Going to see this at the o2 in a couple of weeks time. My son is a huge fan despite being a massive metal head. He got into WOTW through my father-in-law when he was young, and as we lost my FIL a few years back expecting it to be quite emotional for him.

Yes I went. Great show. We were sat near a couple in full Victorian costume. I was hot in T-shirt and shorts so they must have melted. I don't watch Strictly so don't know who he is but Kevin Clifton was very good as the soldier.

Did they all leave with 10 minutes to go.
