Devin were to perform Infinity live in it's entirety with a symphony? Wouldn't that rock? I think the songs would work quite well with a symphony too.

I don't know about the actual use of a symphony...but the thought of the album being played in its entirety is an awesome one.
So the stage would have whatever and whoever is needed to get the full album sound across. That might include a choir, about 1000 keyboardists, a huge percussion section (maybe both Gene and Ryan heh) and any number of extra musicians.
It would be awesome to see Dev doing the strange ambient sections inbetween...singing into a microphone with strange filters and effects. Heh.
Though it is only a dream...

times that by like 10 to 20,000 and I think were getting close. Yeah it would be amazing. It'd be interesting to see what it would sound like to have all the background synth parts and stuff arragned for symphony it should sound very cool.

Hmm, yeah... I like the idea. It would be like a Pink floyd concert. You know, if Devin's music were more popular I bet something like this might of happened. Too bad the demand and money just ain't there for a show of that magnitude to happen.
Only a dream indeed, but a good one.

He planned something similar at the time he released Infinity.
He wanted to perform on a huge stage, with 4 or 5 guitarists, many female vocalists for choirs, everybody wearing uniforms, all of the instruments being live!!!!

the whole "white set" thing sounds like Bryan Adams...I was forced to see that once. But the idea of performing the whole Infinity record on stage sounds delicious.

performing with a symphony would be fucken wicked.
It could be a new CD, S&D.. Not a metallica ripoff..
I'd like to hear something like this at least..

Yes, of course, this thread begs the question... Which set list does Devin use? The "release" version of Infinity or the "original" version that was scrapped? Bear in mind, songs like Wild Colonial Boy and Bad Devil are not on the "original" version.

Hard choice. I like Processional and WCB just as much.

Oh, and look at me, 100 posts!!!
Hmm, good question. I think he should play the CD version because it's the way everyone's used to hearing it, then do some of the tracks from the EP for encores.
