War of the Worlds 30th Anniversary

Guillaume's never been into concerts. But there's one composer he absolutely loves: Jeff Wayne and his Musical Version of War of the Worlds. Guillaume even performed one of the songs at a high school recital. This year it's the 30th anniversary of the piece and Jeff Wayne is touring all over Europe. He also came to Amsterdam. So as an early birthday surprise I took Guillaume to see this Musical Version of War of the Worlds. He loved it!
It was a combination of a normal rock band and a orchestra with cello's and violins etcetera. All directed by Jeff Wayne. And on a large screen in the back there were short pieces of film to support the narrator.

Since not many people know what War of the Worlds is, here's some background info. War of the Worlds is a science fiction story written bij H.G. Wells in 1898. It's about Marsians invading earth and just as they seem to be winning the die from some kind of virus and mankind is saved (bear in mind that it's science fiction from the 19th century).
Two movies have been made of this story. The last one a couple of years ago, starring Tom Cruise.
In 1979 Jeff Wayne decided to compose a Musical Version of the story.

Here's some footage. Please excuse the quality, I shot it with my phone.
