This might be a silly question, but does anyone know if the great men themselves are actually going to be present at the virtual concert in Berlin or is it so virtual that there will be no sign of them?
I don't think that is a silly question, Damian. I am just theorizing here, but something about the way that this is being billed as a "virtual concert", and the fact that the tickets mention Heidi Happy will be "Live on-stage", seems to intimate that not all of the performers or performances at the event will be "live" per-se. That being said, I would expect that Boris and Dieter would be there, but how much they will "perform live" remains to be seen. A little bit of Yello mystery. One possibility is that, considering Boris is a bit of a perfectionist, all of the "sounds" at the concert might be produced by a bank of computer sequencers being "conducted" by Boris, but perhaps not being played in the traditional manner. Just a thought. _____ From: yello-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Damian Rodgers Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 1:08 PM To: yello@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Yello] Yello concert This might be a silly question, but does anyone know if the great men themselves are actually going to be present at the virtual concert in Berlin or is it so virtual that there will be no sign of them?
bank of sequencers would be too much technical hassle, and liable to mulfunction A recorded backing track, minus the vocals and sax parts I think is more likely , i think D&B will be there to introduce but it will be more of a video/film performance, a "virtual concert" i.e. the video from yello.com on the big screen ----- Original Message ----- From: Casey Griffith To: 'The moon: beautiful.

I think both the guest artists will perform their own music on top of the "virtual concert" which is really just a 50 min video for the album. Thats how I understand it. I’ve also heard they will both be there. Julian On Sep 5, 2009, at 5:16 PM, Daniel B wrote:

I don’t think that is a silly question, Damian. I am just theorizing here, but something about the way that this is being billed as a “virtual concert”, and the fact that the tickets mention Heidi Happy will be “Live on-stage”, seems to intimate that not all of the performers or performances at the event will be “live” per- se. That being said, I would expect that Boris and Dieter would be there, but how much they will “perform live” remains to be seen. A little bit of Yello mystery.
