I was sat up in the balcony. I figured that the event would be enhanced by being able to see all that was going on onstage, and I think I was right. It was great being able to see people towards the back of the stage going apeshit. There was a girl (quite a cute girl, actually) in the second row on the stage, to the left of the conductor, who was talking to herself all the way through. I thought at first that she was making up lyrics, but then realised that she was counting time, but she looked as if she was really enjoying the whole thing. Anyway, she won my vote for "musician who looked most like he/she was having the time of his/her life". The other guitarist who caught my eye was an Asian guy on the far right in the first row, who looked like he was a music teacher or something - I reckon he's probably the coolest music teacher in London.
It's a shame there was no programme or something, with the names of all the players and what they were playing, that would have been quite cool, especially as a souvenir for the musicians themselves.
