MrScratch got a reaction from Arnaud2 in Evening at Pops Thread
I have this entire EAP episode on VHS, recorded off the original PBS broadcast.

MrScratch got a reaction from scallenger in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (James Mangold, June 30 2023)
ToD is the only Indy sequel that tries to distance itself from Raiders. That’s also what makes it the best Indy sequel. This latest one looks no different, all throughout I’m sure we’ll be reminded how great Raiders was.
The new one, judging by the trailer, looks very dull visually. The same monochromatic colorless look that all movies these days have. Hopefully the finished film will not look so dreary and dull, but I’m not holding my breath on that…

MrScratch got a reaction from Once in John Williams 90th Birthday Gala Concert at The Kennedy Center, Washington DC, June 23rd 2022
The Duel with Mutter and Ma was a back and forth between violin and cello, they made gestures towards each other throughout and at a couple points drew their bows at each other. It was pretty fun.
Here they are after The Duel while the audience applauds. The crowd laughed at their sparring during the piece.

So, my Dad (who still gets newspapers, bless him) saved me the review of this concert from the Washington Post. It was the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets, per the article.

Also needs mentioning: The Olympic Fanfare and Theme was a killer performance. The brass from the Marine Corps band (I think it was…?) joined the orchestra and they absolutely nailed it. Anyone get a picture of that?

The Superman March was played over a fantastic montage of stills and clips of Williams, some of which I’ve never seen. I hope someone got that, it was great.
After Throne Room, all of the guests returned to the stage together to applaud Johnny. The orchestra started playing Happy Birthday and the entire concert hall sang to him. Then gold streamers and confetti shot out from the balconies.
Deneve then handed Williams the baton and motioned him towards the podium. Williams conducted The Imperial March, the only encore.

This is not a 90 year old man. This is an ageless and timeless wizard!

My spouse Edwin Wendler and I had a great time last night. We even met a poster from this board. At the post concert birthday dinner we talked to many and got several photos. Here are two of Daisy & Anne. John was 9 seats away to our left.
The “Superman” match set to photos/video of JW was the highlife for us. “Dear Basketball” had me in tears as some of the voice over from Kobe talked about good-bye and other words which hit us harder since he’s no longer here. Also John’s beautiful score brought out more tears. Had Anne sign my 2CD Vienna concert CD. Edwin and her chatted in German for a moment.
We sat right in front of Alan Silvestri and Thomas Newman and Mike post was next to us. Wow!
A perfect evening!

Totally agree!!! It was absolutely stunning!! I think it was the Army Bugle Corps actually(?).
And the theme from Jurassic Park was a spot-on performance!! No horn flubs that I heard.
