Don't hesitate, you won't regret it! I am regularly flying in and out of Europe, living just an hour's drive from Vienna in Bratislava, and the main reason is John Williams concerts.
 
They are worth every penny. I've attended 33 performances conducted by John so far, and each experience was unforgettable.
 
If you've never been to Europe, John's concert is a perfect reason to make the trip. Trust me, the journey is as memorable as the music!

What a wonderful afternoon! Williams conducted the second half and was in great spirits. Encores were 1941 and Imperial March. The physical program was beautiful, and they were also giving out copies of the CD posted a couple posts above this one that had matching cover art to the program. I was lucky enough to be given a ticket in the front row and so once again had some great little interactions with the Maestro from the podium.  As I mentioned in a main thread about the occasion, Williams was also honored with the title of Honorary Marine!
 
Looking forward to Tanglewood in a couple weeks!

The 1993 4-CD anthology, 1997 2-CD set, all video games, basically everything we know about, all used the 1983 album master (if not a rip of the CD itself) for these 6 cues. 
 
To our knowledge, the original elements that those cues were recorded to have never been located again after the album master was completed.  Rumor has it that the original element might have been sent to the makers of the documentary "From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making of a Saga", because the English version of Lapti Nek appeared in that doc, but I have no idea if Lapti Nek was recorded on the album day or not >shrug<
 
Fun fact: because the clean opening of the End Credits cue is not available, the end credits track on the 1997 2-CD set actually begins with The Empire Strikes Back's end credits opening before seguing into the ROTJ recording as soon as it can.  And we're now going on 40 years since anyone has heard the majority of the Jabba The Hutt concert arrangement recorded that day.
 
We don't know precisely what element(s) from the main scoring sessions have survived, but ones that sound better than what was used for the 1993 and 1997 sets definitely exist. 
 
I cannot recall off the top of my head if there was evidence when the 2018 sets came out if the tracks that are entirely made up of material from the main session (01 Main Title [The Main Story Continues], 02 Into The Trap, 08 Rebel Briefing, 09 The Emperor) were taken from something different from the album master or not, but if the new Atmos mixes of those tracks are different than the others than that would make sense.

Just a couple days after what’s likely the same concert program in Philadelphia.

So to make thigs easier for you, I've contacted AC for more info regarding tickets, since I'll be in LA few days earlier than the event itself..
 
Their reply> . The tickets for the SPIELBERG/WILLIAMS event will first be released to upper-level members (Patron level & Above) tomorrow (12/21). All remaining tickets if available will go out to all members across the tiers in early January.
 

But that's just one mile from where I live!  I'd be a fool not to attend this!

I am one of the 14:03 

Snap! 14:04.

I got mine at 14:04.
