We all stood on the stage, waiting for the wall to part, revealing the crowd that was eager to watch the concert, the rest of the band were all eager to start, there was a clang and the wall slid to one side, immediately a sound, not too dissimilar to a lone wind in a desert, started to emanate from the stage, confusing the crowd, shortly the bass guitarist started to pick out a tune, soon followed by the lead and the drums, eventually forming a heavy riff…

… We finished the first song and I stepped forward, Autumn close behind, a raised the microphone to my mouth.

“GOOOOOOOOOD EVENING PONYVILLE!” I shouted, the crowd went wild “awesome, now, did you enjoy the song?” the crowd cheered in response.

“Do you want to hear some more?” I asked, the crowd cheered, I looked at Autumn and we both shared a knowing smirk.

“You know” Autumn said “I don’t think the rest of the band heard them”

“I said, DO YOU WANT TO HEAR MORE?” the crowd cheered even louder this time and we both chuckled “that’s more like it, now, this next song is about a group of 40 brave soldiers from my world, they were told to hold the border against the invading German Wehrmacht army, despite being outnumbered they held their ground, showed no fear, and even in the face of failure and death, maintained courage, this is, RESIST AND BITE!” Minion immediately sprung into a finger-tapping solo, with Cloddiwr providing a steady beat…

…the song finished and the crowd cheered.

“Well, Autumn” I said into the microphone “I think they’re starting to like my worlds music, don’t you think?”

“Absolutely” she said “let’s give ‘em something they’ll really enjoy” I chuckled.

“Ladies and gentlemen, for this next bit I want you to keep quiet, close your eyes, and let the music flow though you…on the guitar” I said, pointing to Minion “Minion, my brother, show them what you’ve got” he then started to pick out a quiet, calm solo...

...He finished the solo on his knees and the crowd went absolutely wild, a stage hand suddenly walked on, carrying an instrument that looked like a guitar, except it didn’t have strings, instead it had 6 buttons on every fret in the place of the strings, and a touch panel located where a guitarist would usually strum the strings, the stage hand walked up to Vinyl, she put the Keytar on a stand before taking the new instrument and walking towards the edge of the stage, I turned to the crowd.

“Ladies and gentlemen” I said “the instrument the Vinyl is now holding is called a Kitara, it’s essentially a Dubstep guitar, instead of strings it has buttons that produce a sound like so” she then proceeded to tap out a few buttons, producing a heavy, electronic sound.

“Now that you know what it sounds like, I thought we’d play you a couple of songs that incorporates this instrument” the sound of a beach then started to emanate for the speakers, followed by the sound of a fiddle...

...The crowd cheered briefly before quietening down again, some more music started to play, this time an orchestra.

...The song finished and she walked back towards the stand holding the Keytar, she then swapped the instruments around.

“Alright folks, we only have a few more songs to play tonight” I said, I heard some of the crowd murmur in disappointment “but remember, if you pay to watch tomorrow or the day after, we have a much longer set-list , so you can rock out all weekend long, we will also be giving away complimentary audio disks, so you can hear the original songs, played by the bands the originally sung them, whenever you want, now, who wants to finish this off with a bang?” the crowd cheered uproariously, I noticed a group of pegasi were hovering high above the crowd.

“Hey, you guys” I said, pointing to the pegasi, they looked at me and then pointed to their chests, asking if I was talking about them “yeah, you guys, for this next song, a few of the guns will be firing to add ‘impact’ to the song, so could you please get down on the ground, I don’t want the town demanding our heads to be mounted on pikes because we accidentally shot down a few pegasi” some of the crowd chuckled, and the pegasi slowly descended.

“Thank you, now, that warning also applies to everyone else, the guns are really loud, so if any parents, elder siblings, etcetera, brought younger family, please find the nearest unicorn to put an ear protection spell on the little ones, and if you have a problem with unexpected, loud bangs, then have the spell applied to yourself as well” as I said this the crowd began to light up with the glow of spells in several places “thank you, nice to know that common sense still exists today, now, we give you, FEUER FREI!!!” Vinyl started tapping out a tune on the Keytar, before Minion suddenly strummed out a long, heavy note, punctuated by two of the anti-ship guns firing at once, I then began to sing in German, the foreign words coming to me with the ease that only comes with listening to it countless times, we reached the first chorus and one of the automatic AA-gun turrets took over the role of the kicker-drums; providing a steady, fast paced beat...

...“FEUER FRIE. BANG BANG!” I said, the last part punctuated by two of the anti-ship guns firing off, the crowd cheered, suddenly 6 of the anti-ship guns fired off in a row, one after another, and we immediately started playing another song...

...The song finished and the crowd remained silent, as if waiting for the guns to fire again, I chuckled before saying.

“you can cheer now” the effect was instantaneous, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, I waited for the cheers to die down “now, this next song, is about a Russian air force night-bomber regiment, composed entirely of females, nicknamed… THE NIGHT WITCHES!!!!”...

...The song died down and he crowd cheered.

“Right” I said, after the cheering had died down “this next song is our last one for tonight, but we will be back tomorrow and the day after, so it’s not over yet!” a siren then started to sound off, followed by several of the ships guns firing randomly, Boris stood on the deck of the ship, generating a wind that howled through the night, after about a minute we started the song.

The last note strummed out, adding a finality to the concert, the crowd went wild, their cheers echoing through the night.

“Thank you!” I shouted, the rest of the band bowed, eliciting even more cheers from the crowd, after about a minute we walked off stage, the continued cheers still echoing across the night.
