I don't know every bit of unused music, but I think my favourite unused piece is the low piano written for the first glimpse of the AT-AT's in The Empire Strikes Back.

That looks familiar. I'm pretty sure I was sitting right behind the guy who filmed that! -

I was in the balcony above them when they did that the first time. Judging by their faces, they weren't expecting the applause they got. I think that was my favourite part of the whole concert. -
That's okay. Too bad I didn't get to talk to everybody, but it was a great time nonetheless!

Bit miffed I'm cut out of the picture. I want my tip back!

They've been consistently tagging that account throughout the weekend. -

Well, he is in his late eighties. If he wants to go home to water his plants he has every right to. -
Sure. But it was probably too late to have Williams and the orchestra return by the time the decision was made to track in the adventure theme, so I guess they had to work with what they had.

He also mentioned that he wrote a love theme for the original Star Wars. So from Williams himself: Across the Stars wasn't the first one after all! -

Ah yes, I forgot which piece it was. I noticed the exchange as well. Truly, there was a lot of love and mutual respect on that stage throughout both performances. -

JFK wasn't played. Carlborg is confusing it with another piece. Biodome's list is accurate. -

I'm told he attended the rehearsals and was in the audience yesterday. -

Surprise encore! Didn't expect the first one. My feet are killing me, but this was amazing. I look forward to sitting down at tomorrow's concert. -
Narratively, it was the right decision, though. The T-Rex Ex Machina moment is supposed to be a relief, but the music as written signals MORE DANGER. Replacing it with the adventure theme allows the audience to relax at the optimal moment in the scene.

We were originally only going to attend the Sunday concert, but I got a pair of standing tickets for this afternoon on a whim back in October. I'm kind of dreading the hustle of making it to the viewing area, but it'll be nice to be there anyway. I don't want to miss out in this! -

We have standing tickets to the Saturday concert anyway. -

That would have meant a 3:00 a.m. alarm clock. So no. -

Are you on the Austrian or the KLM flight? I'll try to wave as you take off. -

The 10:55 Level flight. Looking at the departure schedule out of Amsterdam, there's still two flights to Vienna scheduled before us that haven't left yet. So it looks like we'll be waiting here for a while. -

Mr. Breathmask replied to Ricard's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Well, we're on board, but we were just told we might need to wait another two hours to depart. Oh well. I'm glad we didn't decide to fly on Saturday. -

I just received an email from the airline saying that our flight is delayed. All other information systems still list it as "on schedule". I wonder if they're about to let us board and then sit on the tarmac for two hours.
