The Odyssey live

[HomerSimpson]

To all those who have seen it live:
How do they do the Overture? Does Pinella do all the orchestral parts, or does Romeo help him out?

 

[Rediscovery (Part II)]

Romeo assists him as far as I can remember

 

[HomerSimpson]

Romeo assists him as far as I can remember

He reproduces the orchestral parts on guitar?!?! :Spin:

 

[Wicked Inferno]

i dont remember exactly but the yes he does take over some of the orchestra parts on guitar. It doesnt sound exactly like the cd cause of this of course but it works.

 

[Demonspell]

Yes, both Romeo and Pinella perform the intro and part VI, which I can recall sounding better than on the album, of The Odyssey when played live.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Yes, Part VI blew me away the most. Romeo was a freakin' symphony.

 

[The Metal Chick]

I thought it was incredible how the two of them could pull off a whole symphony of sounds. I think they should do that on the studio recordings because it sounds so awesome.

Agreed. I always thought V sounded better on the live album because it was really cool to see how creatively they could break up the symphonic parts to be performed as a 4 peice band.

GAAAWWD! I want to see this... that's INCREDIBLE! I'm counting the days until the Cincinnati show.

 

[The Metal Chick]

And I'm counting down the days until Milwaukee and Chicago, though it will be my 5th and 6th times seeing them...when it comes to Symphony X, there is no such thing as too much of a good thing

Man this sucks!

They'll never come down here to the shining star of the caribbean.

I'd say that my favorite MJR solo is in "Smoke and Mirrors." As stated before, those are his coolest duels with Pinella (and he uses awesome rhythms).

How did this reply end up in this thread?

Blue.

anyone who went to the LI show at the Downtown, you notice that during the end part of the Odyssey right before going into the Homecoming finale, where there's a harp strumming sound on the album, MJR somehow strums a chord way up high on the neck with some muting or something and recreates the harp sound ALMOST PERFECTLY, I was amazed.

 

[Scourge of Amalek]

My God! Sorry, guys. Wrong thread. *slaps forehead*

 

[Dustro25]

Yes they both play it and it sounds way better than the album i cant wait for a GOOD boot of this tour to surface...I wish i could get the pp4 show......
