Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds

Het is meer dan 25 jaar geleden dat Jeff Wayne de "War of the Worlds" muzikaal realiseerde. Het was gebaseerd op het boek van H.G. Wells uit 1898, dat een heel SF-genre oprichtte - de verovering van de aarde door buitenaardse wezens. in 1938 veroorzaakte Orson Welles paniek met het fictieve radioprogramma. De muzikale versie van Jeff Wayne wordt na de verkoop van 12 miljoen platen beschouwd als een echte klassieker en heeft een nieuwe generatie enthousiaste navolgers voortgebracht, met een ingenieuze mix van progressieve rock met klassieke en literaire invloeden, verrijkt en verbonden door de opzwepende vertelling van de sprekers, in de eerste plaats natuurlijk Richard Burton, maar ook David Essex, Phil Lynott, Julie Covington, Justin Hayward, Chris Thompson en anderen met de hits "The eve of the war" en "Forever autumn".
