Megan notes:
I wish the video could do it justice—to have been there in person, sitting just a row or two away from the mess of instruments, getting the perfect mix, and hearing every subtle shift of dynamics in each song... it was amazing.
The Seattle Rock Orchestra is going to do this again in February, when they celebrate the work of David Bowie.
