Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 No, it was mentioned that was working on the sequel to Raiders. Which is odd because I don't think Temple needs any more work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Whoa! This completely took me by surprise! It's nice to see JW doing so well--he looks pretty good, I thought. It wouldn't surprise me if that announcer turned out to be a soundtrack freak like us. "The most accomplished composer of our time . . . whose film scores have helped provide the soundtrack of our lives . . . the pride of Boston . . . and the epitome of our culture . . . maestro John Williams!" Hahahaha. That's too much, I would say . . . except it's all true, of course!Has anyone noticed that while the announcer says Boston Pops, the caption reads Boston Symphony?

mcdaid72000 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hey couldn't someone goto the mlb website get the video website location and goto zamzar.com and convert it to an avi and post it on the JWFan Main Page. Then it would be on this site for every John Williams fan to see. Just a thought. I use zamzar a lot for youtube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 That doesn't sound like a very easy way to remove the beeps - and it's certainly not lossless.Nice arrangement of the anthem, but some of the opening chords felt very uncomfortable.

Good one but it would have hurt a lot more if we didn't have 4 World championships...also btw we made it to the ALCS last year (but pulled a Rockies and didn't show up).Note: another good thing about you guys winning the WS a few years back is that we no longer refer to the Giants fans as the "West Coast Red Sox Fans" -- now, they have their own category as the biggest losers in sports!

John Crichton 4 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 ...also btw we made it to the ALCS last year (but pulled a Rockies and didn't show up).Quite right, my mistake. I paid little attention to the playoffs last year, there just wasn't much interesting going on. BTW I actually really liked those early aughts Oakland teams, I would usually root for them (even if they weren't playing the Yankees ). Right now though west coast wise I really like the Angels, Vlad Guerrero might be my favorite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composer_Fan 2 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Wow, that was a very interesting arrangement! At times, it seemed as though the players weren't quite together.

Romão 2,274 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Fantastic original arrangement for a piece that has been heard thousands of times.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The second video on YouTube actually sounds more like dissonance and less "wrong," to me. Either that, or I'm just getting used to the arrangement, which I really like.
