Jeff Wayne's concert version of HG Wells' epic story "The War Of The Worlds" played in Auckland last week, and for many friends and acquaintances it was a great night out. Tricia and I saw it in London's Wembley Arena, and were impressed by the total package - especially the hologram featuring the original Narrator, Richard Burton, captured on film. As well, the current technology permitted a lot of effects to enhance the story-telling that wouldn't have been possible 30 years ago when Jeff created it.

Back then it was an amazing soundscapre double-album. Now, under the baton of Jeff himself, it is a fabulous concert.
