- 2. IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1976, JEFF WAYNE’S ‘WAR OF THE WORLDS’ WAS A DOUBLE ALBUM TELLING HG WELL’S STORY OF A MARTIAN ATTACK ON ENGLAND. IN 2005, THE MUSIC WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE AS A STAGE SHOW, WHICH HAS TOURED THE WORLD ON AND OFF SINCE THEN. IN 2010, THE LATEST VERSION ARRIVED AT THE BRIGHTON CENTRE FEATURING AN ‘ALL STAR’ CAST INCLUDING THE MOODY BLUES, JUSTIN HAYWARD AND JASON DONOVAN, ACCOMPANIED BY A 10 PIECE BAND AND A 36-PIECE ORCHESTRA. MUSICALLY THE SHOW WAS FAULTLESS, THE SOUND WAS SUPERB AND THE MUSICIANS WERE SIMPLY BRILLIANT. VISUALLY, HOWEVER, I FELT IT DIDN’T REACH SUCH DIZZY HEIGHTS. IT WAS SOMEWHAT JARRING THAT THE ACTORS PERFORMED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE MUSICIANS (IT WOULD HAVE WORKED BETTER IF THERE HAD BEEN A SEPARATE PERFORMANCE AREA), THE 11’ ‘PHOTO-REAL FLOATING HOLOGRAM’ OF RICHARD BURTON WAS FRANKLY RATHER AMATEURISH AND THE GIANT TRIPOD FIGHTING MACHINE WAS DISAPPOINTINGLY UNSPECTACULAR AND DID LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANIMATRONICS. YES, THE 100’ WIDE SCREEN WAS IMPRESSIVE, BUT MUCH OF THE IMAGERY ON IT SEEMED TECHNICALLY DATED COMPARED WITH WHAT WE’RE NOW USED TO FROM TODAY’S COMPUTER GAMES. THE ALL STAR CAST HAD SURPRISINGLY SMALL PARTS, ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY JASON DONOVAN WAS SURPRISINGLY GOOD. ULTIMATELY, IT WAS THE MUSIC THAT WAS THE TRUE STAR. THE SOUNDTRACK’S OVERTURE STILL STANDS UP AFTER NEARLY 35 YEARS AND WHILST IT’S SOMEWHAT ODD THAT JEFF WAYNE SPENDS PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE WITH HIS BACK TO THE AUDIENCE, HE REALLY LET HIS MUSICIANS SHINE. THESE IMAGES HOPEFULLY CAPTURE WHAT HAPPENED ON STAGE AND GIVE A FLAVOUR OF WHAT WAS, FOR MANY, A NOSTALGIC TRIP BACK IN TIME.
