Ever been to/gonna go to a Bond music gig, orchestral or otherwise?

Just thought I'd ask, prompted by the oft-rescheduled Ulster Orchestra concert I'm attending tonight (it was originally due to happen the same week NTTD was meant to open in UK cinemas, which was 2 years ago).

Have never done but certainly would do if my local orchestra put on a Bond show.

Here's what was played -

With vocals -

From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
We Have All The Time In The World
Diamonds Are Forever
Live And Let Die
The Man With The Golden Gun
Nobody Does It Better
For Your Eyes Only
A View To A Kill
The Living Daylights
Licence To Kill
Another Way To Die
Skyfall
No Time To Die (considerably better when it's fully sung rather than half-mumbled)

Instrumental versions -

Moonraker
You Know My Name
The Writing's On The Wall

Others -

James Bond Theme
Capsule In Space (from YOLT)
Ski Chase (from OHMSS)
Medley (Thunderball, FRWL, GF)

Not a note from any of the Brosnans ... no idea why there wasn't. Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough would've been welcome ... ah well.

Was nice to have the YOLT and OHMSS pieces in there, not something you'd necessarily usually get at this sort of thing. Appropriately enough given recent product placement in the franchise, I had a pint of Heineken during the first half and then a glass of Pinot Grigio during the second (admittedly cannot recall if Bond has ever specifically drank same, hehehe).

Been to a screening of Casino Royale accompanied by a live orchestra, but that's about it.

Was at a Bond Songs By Candlelight concert last night, enjoyable evening. Some pics -

Any particular highlights, BI?

Looks like it was well attended. Events like this are extremely rare in AINO, and I've certainly never been to one.

The opening 'one-two' of the Bond theme and You Know My Name, Goldeneye delivered with gusto and the famous 'fainting note' in Thunderball hit and held with aplomb stood out. And it probably won't surprise you to hear that the Sam Smith and Billie Eilish songs were improved in the hands of other singers.

A wildebeeste expelling methane would be an improvement over Sam Smith.

Hahaha, indeed.

You mentioned attendance, Khanners ... venue (Ulster Hall) holds a thousand or so, and looked to be pretty much a sell-out. Liitle bit of trivia ... it's where Led Zep played Stairway To Heaven 'in public' for the first time ever.
