Regardless of whether the traditional classical music community appreciated the San Francisco Dear Friends concert, Final Fantasy maestro Nobuo Uematsu has announced another date to his diary.
More Friends will feature another selection of top hits from the role playing game series at Los Angeles' Universal Theatre. The new event, supported by rock versions of FF songs by Uematsu's band Black Sages, will take place during the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo in May.
Two questions arise: When will the Europeans get a chance to "experience" an Uematsu gig of their own (do they want it?), and is this a gimmick that will die out once people have a taste of their favourite tunes?
I'll say it again, it was one of the most surreal classical concerts I've ever been to...
