Overview |
In november 2005 some of the finest musicians and artists in the world assembled at the Manchester Opera House to re-create - in full - 'Demon Days', the award-winning album by the animated phenomenon Gorillaz.
Spanning five nights, this was the very first live rendition of the record, as sanctionned by 2D, Murdoc, Russel and Noodle themselves.
This unique event featured guest appearences from Neneh Cherry, Bootie Brown, De La Soul, Ike Turner, Shaun Ryder, Roots Manuva, Martina Topley Bird and pre-recorder contributions from MF Doom, Dennis Hooper and Ibrahim Ferrer.
The entire performance was set to a backdrop of specially designed visuals and animations by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett.
Accompanied by an orchestra, a children's choir and the Manchester Community Gospel Choir, the results were breathtaking, an exceptionnal collaboration of music, film and animation that surpassed all expectations.
And, y'know, it's very likely that the world will probably see nothing like this ever again.
Well, almost definitely... at least not in Manchester. |
