"Coincidentally, they both ended up performing the Halloween theme. Carptener's show was the composer's first in seven years. His new box set Halloween: The Complete Expanded Collection came out last week via Sacred Bones. Along with his Halloween theme and other soundtrack classics, he gave live debuts to Wake Up, Last Rites, Alive After Death, My Name Is Death, plus an unreleased number called Lord Of The Underground."
"Alex G who's vying for a Best New Artist Grammy with his 10th album did Monster Mash on Wednesday at Radio City Music Hall and Halloween Theme Main Title on Thursday. Man, it's a really spooky time of year. Halloween time. I know what I'm dressing up as, he said. Jason Freddy. It's gonna be a spooky one. It's a very spooky time of year Sam, wouldn't you say? Um, or Michael Myers. He made up some lyrics for the performance to keep it weird."
John Carpenter played the Knockdown Center in New York City on Oct. 9, marking his first live show in seven years and coinciding with the release of the box set Halloween: The Complete Expanded Collection via Sacred Bones. He performed the Halloween theme, other soundtrack classics, and premiered live performances of Wake Up, Last Rites, Alive After Death, My Name Is Death, and an unreleased track called Lord Of The Underground. Alex G played Kings Theatre the same night, having performed Monster Mash at Radio City Music Hall the night before and delivering a Halloween Theme Main Title performance while improvising costume-related lyrics.
