Symphonic Rock

On 18 April, 2010, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performed Symphonic Rock at the famed Royal Albert Hall.  The set list included music from the best of Coldplay, Queen, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Robert Palmer, the Moody Blues and many more.  Luck was on our side before the concert even started as we managed to get upgraded from "standing only" seats at the very top to some nice comfy (swivel) chairs in the stalls.

£75.00 seats for £10.00? Umm, yes please!

Concert? Epic. For once, I am using that word without exaggeration.  The Royal Philharmonic is widely-considered to be second to the London Symphony Orchestra in terms of quality, and for good reason.  They were phenomenal and between the mediocre vocals by "Metro Voices" and the hilarious emcee who constantly struggled to keep his mic on, it was a really fun night.

Favorites of the night: "Bittersweet Symphony" and "Layla"
