Hopefully that and The First Contact theme which is also awesome being played live.
In fact why don't they play the Star Trek medley that Goldsmith arranged for his concerts? They can probably add Nemesis (preferably Final Flight) in there somewhere 'cause JG didn't added that when he's still doing concerts.

So is this JW's JG-esque moment? Score good, film baaddd!!!

I was fortunate to work with legendary composer Elmer Bernstein for the last decade of his life. He was my mentor, friend & first employer. When I first arrived in LA, from the ages 18-21, I sat on Elmer's film scoring class at USC & wrote down every single word he said.
I recently discovered my old notebooks... & found I had underlined 25 Elmer Bernstein quotes that caught my attention as a young composer. The quotes are as relevant today as they were then, and offer a glimpse into Elmer's creative process & political savvy.
For the next five weeks, I will post one Bernstein quote each business day...
-"Respect the film. You don't have to like it." #ElmerWisdom
-"Reactions to movies don't change. Only techniques [in making movies.]" #ElmerWisdom
-"Rich chords are not as scary as thin chords" #ElmerWisdom
- "Assume every person in the theater will experience the score once. Decide what you can communicate that people can absorb right away." #ElmerWisdom
-"If you don't enjoy the process, don't get into the business. Enjoy what you're doing, when you're doing it." #ElmerWisdom
-"Avoid talking about music with the filmmaker. Instead, ask "What the audience should be feeling?'" #ElmerWisdom
-"People look down on you when you criticize or belittle others. Don't do it." #ElmerWisdom
-"No good score will ever be written if the director is always interfering." #ElmerWisdom
-"When a director knows exactly what he wants [from the score], he doesn't need a composer." #ElmerWisdom
-"I don't think there is anything in your entire life that can confuse you as quickly as a filmmmaker." #ElmerWisdom
-"Never fear your talented competitors. Fear the charlatans." #ElmerWisdom
-"To deny what a film is about is death for the film and score alike. #ElmerWisdom
-"If a filmmaker ever says 'Look, I just don't know enough about music, that's what you're here for' go to your local church, get on your knees & thank God." #ElmerWisdom
-"When people remember your scores, they're really remembering the film & the film experience. Not the music, just the association, because the music worked for them." #ElmerWisdom
-"In the long run, you're judged by how you helped the film, not how many records you sold." #ElmerWisdom
-"Focus on who you are, what you're willing to do or not to do. Don't prostitute yourself." #ElmerWisdom
-"Temp music: BAD." #ElmerWisdom
-"Everybody on a film thinks they have two jobs: their own... and music." #ElmerWisdom
-"If things keep going this way, there will be no more great scores." (1999) #ElmerWisdom
-"Jerry Goldsmith is the #1 composer working now. He's open to new ideas and always inventing." (1999) #ElmerWisdom
-"If you get a chance to do the job, even if it's going to be a mess, do it." #ElmerWisdom
-"You can't change the system. You have to deal with it the way it is." #ElmerWisdom
-"There is a mystical element to a flute in its low register." #ElmerWisdom
-"Filmmakers tend to be comfortable when we're comfortable, which happens when we're ourselves." #ElmerWisdom

JoAnn Kane who revealed the secret that Johnny will score The Book Thief was interviewed about her relationship with JG as well as her job:

There's also that book called That British Boy With Round Glasses.
The Sun Emperor's New War Horse.
And also Tuba or Not Tuba.

Oh the goblinity!

Here's an 87 year old with a mind still sharp as a tack:

top of the game and irreplaceable is still synoymous with busyness... If JW stopped making film scores back in 2008 and announced his retirement then would you still make this thread? I wonder...

Here's one 90 year old who's still busy as ever:

I believe there's a term for that - it's called nono. In Zimmer's case, he frequently uses what is generally referred to as "big nonos".
