Salt Lake City

Jimbob and I were in Salt lake City weekend before last to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Spectacular. Of course, they no longer perform in in the Tabernacle, but at the Convention center. I couldn't take in my good camera, so some of these were taken with my phone. You weren't allowed to photograph the performance, but they had no problem with you taking pictures of the building.

Natalie Cole and David McCullough were the guest performers this year.

This first picture shows a small part of the center. Capacity is 21,000 and it was full for all four performances. That's 84,000 total.

This was the empty stage. At one time, there were about 700 performers present and accounted for.

On Saturday, Jimbob and I walked down the street to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for lunch. At one time this was the Hotel Utah.

We walked through Temple Square back to our hotel after the performance and saw some of the historical markers.

And lights...Lots of lights.

What a nice holiday treat. If I recall, the accoustics in the Tabernacle were such that you did not need electronics to amplify the sound. Wonder if that was true in the Convention Center as well.
