Reply To: Been to any good concerts lately?
Easy one, as I haven’t really attended that many of them…
As you will remember, Thor, we both attended a certain Elfman/Burton concert in London, October 7th 2013… We didn’t know there would be many more of them, as this was promoted as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This was also the first time Danny sang on stage in many many years, as Jack Skellington, and he looked very awkward at first. But gradually, he started to really shine, and really enjoy the whole thing. He sang every note perfectly, started dancing, and was really on fire. It got so good that he closed off by saying “Thank you for giving me what I believe is the single greatest moment in my life”, or something to that extent. There was a strong feeling of witnessing a historic event..!
My gut feeling has always been that Elfman thought that he would hate doing it, therefore only announcing one show. Instead he found that he loved it, and wanted to do it again, and so it became a series of concerts instead… I’m sure the income is another motivator, but I really have this feeling that he really only intended to do this once, until this moment where everything clicked, and he rediscovered the joy of being of stage, right before our eyes.
That’s me with actual hair, and beardless Thor.
