I didn't know at the time how different it was going to be.

I'm just fortune to live in the Chicago suburbs. Arnie Roth is a local boy so I imagine that has to factor into why we've had at least one every year since 2008. The only exception being 2010, because the Ravinia canceled it. I still have the tickets for that show too.... :P

If you get the chance and can afford the extra money, the meet and greet is fantastic. They were both very talkative and appreciative of everyone, and we chit chatted briefly about all the shows. Uematsu himself shook my hand twice. A buddy and I that have gone to all these shows went to check out the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses show a few nights ago. Great venue, high production value. But the music itself just doesn't compare. Only got me more excited for the Distant Worlds show. You will have a great time, especially if it's your first time at one.
Now I'm wishing I live in Chicago. Haha. I think I'd spazz and die of happiness if Nobuo-sensei shakes my hand.

Yeah, I heard about those merchandise they'll be selling during the show. My wallet is ready >. Music-wise, I've always been in awe of the depth of the FF scores. I haven't listened to much game scores lately though so I need to broaden my music library if I'm to make comparisons. Legend of Zelda also has a beautiful score in general but some people don't like the 'elfin' sound running through it.

Only makes me more excited for my first concert. I hope to be able to watch it in Japan before they close the show
