Huge thanks to Dime member Vierstein91 for giving me the ticket on the day of the show - I was in for a treat, after having little exposure to Dead Can Dance before this. Hope your cough is gone, mate. I owe you one!


I must also thank ianmacd for generously recording and sharing DCD shows from his 2012 Europe-wide trek. From his colorful descriptions and true dedication I gained valuable insight into both the music and the musicians. I liked what I heard and was looking forward to the live Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard experience.


On the night there were no disappointments apart from the slow pre-show ticket checks (which caused me to miss the beginning of the first song). Hear for yourself how Brendan and Lisa with a five-piece band filled the Concert Hall with their unique blend of eastern and western music. The audience had the best manners I've come across in a long time, their silence broken by enthusiastic applause after most songs. The performers clearly enjoyed the rapt attention that flowed their way - so much they gave us three encores! And I came home with a recording I'm proud of - from the best seat I've ever had at the Opera House.
