Popular Post Omen II 1,234 Posted October 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2017 A couple of photos from this evening's performance of Jaws at the Royal Albert Hall. Those proportions are correct. This is the fifth John Williams film I have seen live to picture there and all of them have been fantastic. It was a dream come true for me to hear this score played live by the BBC Concert Orchestra - Father and Son, Man Against Beast, Three Barrels Under, Blown to Bits were all brilliant. The only real mistake I noticed was that the 'stinger' for the appearance of Ben Gardner's severed head was played a good couple of seconds too early, which at least made me appreciate all the more how much of the shock value of that moment is due to the perfect build-up and timing of John Williams's score. There was a small cheer and spontaneous applause when Brody utters his famous line, "You're going to need a bigger boat", but it was nothing compared to the ovation at the end when he kills the shark ("Smile, you son of a bitch."). There was an instant standing ovation at the end when the orchestra had finished playing, which was well deserved and lovely to see.

JAWS was released in the UK, on December 26th, 1975, with an exclusive presentation at The Plaza Cinema 1+2, Lower Regent St. It went "wide" in the Summer of 1976, and was a very successful film.

nightscape94 965 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Although I have seen a handful of these concerts myself, Jaws isn't one of them, and it's my favorite movie of all time. My jealousy exist on several levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a L2P weekend program—Jaws on Saturday and Casino Royale on Sunday. Wolf Trap is a type of amphitheatre where there’s this barn that is made into a theater. The pavilion structure, where I sat, is made of wood and it’s not fully enclosed, like a conventional theater. The Saturday for the Jaws concert got-off to a rough start. The city of Virginia had a record of 4-inches of rain that day—this nor’easter began early in the morning and finished as late as 10pm. I got to the theater 45 minutes before the show, but the ‘lobby’ was the outdoor park that surrounds the pavilion and we had to wait in the park—in the rain—until a half-hour before the show before we can get to our seats. By the time we got to the aisles, we were soaked. Despite the pavilion sheltering me from the rain, you hear raindrops hitting the wooden structure of the barn, claps of thunder, and siren blaring. Seeing the final half of Jaws where the action takes place on a boat, in the open water while you are soaking-wet in the middle of a rainstorm was a very unusual movie-going experience for me. Nonetheless, the National Symphony Orchestra executed the score with menacing beauty, especially the brass section. The audience was in good spirits. They gave thunderous applause at the end of Quint’s first scene at city hall; there were laughs at the dinner scene with Brody, Ellen and Hooper; and a big cheer at the shark’s killing. I’ll have to find another venue for the Jaws program, preferably in a conventional theater. MrScratch, Ricard and Jay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,042 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yeah that's a pretty unique concert experience! I saw Jaws LTP indoors, at Symphony Hall in Boston, and it was wonderful just seeing a classic crowdpleasing movie with an enthusiastic crowd. The live music was just icing on top! I think Jaws is one of the better LTP concerts one can elect to go to actually, since the original recording of the music isn't optimal. At a live concert you can really feel what Williams wanted you to feel from his score. SyncMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I almost went to that but opted not to because it would have been a long drive for me plus I’ve already been to a number of LTP concerts this year. I’m sure the Baltimore Symphony will do it eventually in the comfy confines of the Meyerhoff. I would have been miserable in the rain for sure.
