John Carpenter concert review
Fox Theater in Oakland, US
Fri, 17 Jun 2016

The venue was beautiful and the show was spectacular. The sound and lighting were great. The performance was very powerful and not a disappointment to a longtime fan of John Carpenter's work both as a director and soundtrack composer. It was really incredible to experience live Carpenter's material which was probably not originally intended to be viewed in this fashion and also very cool to have the material performed with a full band. The film clips that were projected behind the band really worked well with the live performance and also aided the observer in identifying which film the music came from. My only complaints were that it did not start on time and seating was a bit cramped (we sat in the second row, center). I also wished that it was twice as long with an intermission in the middle.
