Yep, I'm going to that - going to be fantastic! Can't wait for that opening moment, "No one would have believed...."

Is it a live narrator or the original guy?

From what I've read, they have created a hologram of Richard Burton's head and are using his original recorded voice!

Now that's cool!

Well, a projection rather than a hologram. Rather like this...

Caught this last year at Manchester, and see it there again this year. It is a spectacular show.

It's just been on here in Oz and yes they did use the hologram of Richard Burton doing the naration as per the original show.

The full concert can be found on various torrent sites, ahem so I am told.

ETA: of December

Mad Doc und self have bought tickets for this. Truly timeless. Classic of its era und genre.

We are treating ourselves to an indulgence here.

We went twice last year - took a book at Royal Albert Hall and took my dad, to thank him for giving me the LP when I was 6 We liked it so much we got tickets to the Wembley Arena show (that was recorded for the DVD) and found ourselves sat next to Jo Partridge (Mr Heat-ray and Ulla!) which was pretty cool for a WOTW fan-boy ;-)

And yes, we're going to O2 in December. Sad, but I don't care ;-)
