Sorry Orphmet and szender22, but you had to be there to feel it, no Youtube video could do justice to the sound experienced there (like most any youtube video of a live event, it's never going to have even a quarter of the impact of being there to experience it.) I'll admit I'm a bit biased because I played in it (also, I'm one of "those types" who enjoys 20th/21st century minimalist music), but the sound generated by the 200 guitars/16 basses live could not be replicated by "1 guitar, 1 bass".

Contrary to the negative nancies below, I enjoyed this piece! I would've attended, but I had to work that day. :(

It is so boring, and plain. Like a featureless indie song from a garage band : (

1 guitar, 1 bass could be enough for this : )

I think those lot of instruments was only for the sensation...

It was soo... repetitive....
