Here's the Ancient Land Sizzle Reel!
https://youtu.be/M2W-7N_2-akLooks like they might be going with mostly night #2 footage.
In terms of production quality of the sizzle reel itself, it has some of the same shortcomings as the album teaser: it switches away from each song too quickly and the transitions between songs aren't very smooth.
This is going to be fun to watch in a few weeks!
I'm a bit nervous about a few things though...
Firstly, how is seeing it on PBS / DVD going to compare to being there live? It'll bring back some great memories, but being there was a special experience we'll likely never have again. It's going to be awesome to watch again, but I don't think it could ever feel as special as those two nights we were there live.
That fog could
really wash out the castle in some of those shots. It looked pretty cool live. Hopefully that will translate to the TV screen though. I was kind of expecting there to be a lot of night #1 shots so they didn't have to contend with the fog. I think it's going to look great (fingers crossed). Mairead seemed to love it, so I guess it must have turned out looking (and sounding) great.
It does look like they're going to end the PBS special with Going Home as we suspected. It's definitely the night #2 finale too, which should be super-spectacular!
Now that the critic / pessimist inside me has reacted to it...
... Time to look forward to seeing the most awesome show I have ever witnessed in my life!
It was truly amazing to be there in person while they recorded it and I hope you love it as much as I did when I was there. It was sooooo good!
