supremacy.













I admittedly am not a terribly huge fan of this song - although the chord progression and string arrangement is interesting ... but what I really found ingenious was how they stacked the orchestra for this performance. For a rock show like this that calls for an orchestra where every instrument is individually mic'd (or should be) - why seat the orchestra the same way it has been for the past two hundred-plus years? They could even be seated - but still stacked vertically in more or less the same horizontal configuration (first and second violins on the listener's left, violas in the middle, cellos and basses on the right, etc. etc.).

Anyway ... just mentioning ...
