We recorded the Jubilee concert so that we could skip through the boring bits. I have to say that the fast forward button didn't get as much use as I anticipated. As live events go, this one was pretty slick.
One or two of the artists, sadly, don't have the voices that they used that have and Sir Elton appears to have turned into a pub singer. Overall, we thought it was quite spiffing. Madness were brilliant, as was Sir Tom. The techies did a marvelous job- the projection onto the palace was impressive. Number One Son (who does that sort of thing for a living) may well say it was quite ordinary, but it impressed me.
Although I don't claim to be a royalist, I have to admit to enjoying the whole thing. They just need to change that godawful dirge that is the national anthem.
Drumroll, Please
