October 1st - Day 166

Today I went to the Royal Festival Hall, surprisingly for the first time during this escapade. The last time I went to the main hall was in 2003 to see Arthur Lee and Love (then indie band Baby Lemonade), backed by a full orchestra, perform the 1967 Love album "Forever Changes". Having been rushed in through the side doors just before this evening's freebie began, it took me a few minutes to realise I was in the same space. I was one of two hundred or so people watching The Philharmonia Orchestra, under Diego Masson, perform contemporary Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg's "Coyote Blues". They also peformed "Engine", but I'd gone by then.
