They all redeemed themselves, but for a moment there, I was starting to think that Jaws wasn't a popular film in Britain.

 

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.

There will be several performances of Jaws in concert across the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in April 2018.  Ben Palmer (founder / conductor of the Covent Garden Sinfonia) will be conducting the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.  They're doing one in Liverpool, @Quintus

My former neck of the woods!  Very seldom do I wish I still lived in the hellish nightmarescape that is the DC suburbs, but now is one of those times :(

You guys are incredibly uncreative with naming your cities. Or thieving bastards if I don't want to put it nicely.

Holko.  Most of the European city names in America are so named because people from that city settled there.  So it's the Europeans who were uncreative originally!

Have a good time @Bilbo. Hope your migraine is now passed.

 

Migraine passed. 

 

May the intermission. This is one of the best I’ve seen live. Johnny and Spielberg at their best. 😬

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.

I went to Wolf Trap, Vienna, VA for the weekend. 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.

 

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.

Wow!  This is playing in Martha's Vineyard tonight, which must be a cool place to see it at!  Luckily I've already seen it in Boston a few years back
