Monkey: Journey to the West Palace Theatre Manchester

[plackonteeth]

i cant see a stinkin thing

[Xtremebadger]

Every night, before I go to bed, I thank Damon Albarn for music

[lainiwakura]

Do you have anymore video from the performance/rehearsals? Please?

[needsmoremilk]

I wish I'd seen this when it was in the UK!  I adore the original story that it's based on, and I was so disappointed when I missed the chance to see it! :( Thank you for putting this video up, though, as at least now I can finally see what at least part of the show looked like! :)

[baryldrummer]

God damnit. It looks epic, but the opera seems to have hovered mostly around the east... It premiered in the US a while back and hell if I have the money to fly all the way across the country. :( I feel ripped off. It doesn't help the number of art books was extremely limited and I have yet to see any signs of a dvd being produced.

[baryldrummer]

damn me for living in America. =( Hope he at least cranks out a nice DVD version of this performance.

[danielleberry2]

OMG!!!! me and my friends were singing this all the way home that day hahahahaha what a show !! :D

[xxbleach52xx]

[Lizawhizz]

AHH!! This song has been stuck in my head ever since I saw this show! Thank you so much!

[piepartyzena]

shit quality but great memories. i was i manchester then, bought the t-shirt etc. greatest show on earth. i can say w/out a doubt, the most amazing thing i have ever seen on stage, if not ever.

[Tfaaon]

I saw it in paris, it was HUGE!!

damon albarn rocks!!

[damonblurfrench23]

damon albarn make the greatest things

[Elniro33]

This was one of the best songs in the entire show, shame the quality is so low as it really doesn't do it justice.

[JWraith3]

Is the recording of this played anywhere?

[oscarX]

The Gorillaz even recomended it

[Genthebatgirl]

Not surprising knowing that Damon and Jamie worked in it.

[shorterac989]

thats it, thanks ahahaha

[shorterac989]

WHAT IS THIS! i like live at this theatre... and im confused

[janucan]

I think perhaps you are thinking of Manchester NH, not Manchester UK which this is.

[fishsticksfish]

sounds really nice, wish I could watch it :<

[WoWDemondays]

aint that the same stage Gorillaz Perform Demondays

[wrightjosh8]

[Jim44ee]

[VsFriend]

Yes. Incredible. It was amazing how much these people must have practiced.

[Spikeygal]

Hurray! Isn't it an amazing show? I say it on the final night in Manchester. Do you have any more videos from there? I'd love to see some more again

[nihonmatt]

I saw that yesterday! it is incredibly amazing, everything in it is fantastic, simply brilliant. all the costumes and the music are so good - you have to see it!

[ninana]

I went yesterday! It was so awesome! They have a fairly good-res video if you look for them on myspace as monkeyjourneytothewest

I don't work for them lol They were handing little pieces of paper out so I just thought I could help you guys out a little

[agatucker]

[gooner02]

simply brilliant, amzing visuals, amazing audio, amazing set, amazing costumes, Just the right lentgh, a true masterpiece

[leecraig82]

I went to see it,it was amazing. The music was fantastic. It was part of the manchester festival. The animation was great and the stage sets were great too. Sadly it isnt going to London, a rare treat not to be missed.

[Ead6]

fraid its not going to london

he only place its going in the uk is manchester

[mediumlarge]

i saw the programme on it. Now i want tickets for the London performance, assuming there is one. And i thought Dre and RZA were amazing producers, Albarn is amazing...

[len32p]

hi what was it like? it looks & sounds fantastic

[janucan]

Amazing visually, a rare feast for the eyes. Musically very good, I kept forgetting there was an orchestra playing. Story I couldn't really follow due to my viewing angle and out of sync subtitles (it's in chinese and it was a dress rehearsal). Show a little too long. Overall I still keep remembering cool things about it. :)

[thunderbal44]

i saw it too. It was great! The beginning is the Peach Festival right?

[janucan]

that's the one

[thunderbal44]

I remember when he starts kicking the plates off and stares at the stretchy woman XD
