Popular Post radioflyer 46 Posted July 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2018 I was lucky enough to attend the Grammy Tribute last night. John Williams attended! He also gave a wonderful speech which paid tribute to the orchestras he has worked with. He was introduced by Gustav Dudamel. The event was surprisingly underattended. We were invited to move to a closer section to fill in the seats for the camera. Other attendees included Neil Diamond (who performed "Daydream Believer" with Micky Dolenz followed by "Sweet Caroline"), Emmylou Harris, The Meters and Sammy Hagar. Tina Turner accepted by video but nobody from Queen participated. We instead had to suffer through an uninspired "We Will Rock You" led by Sammy Hagar. The main point though: John Williams was present and it was a wonderful evening. I stole a few pictures but this it it because i didn't want to fall prey to their no camera policy.

Mari 279 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I wonder if the Air and Simple Gifts performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Quartet is the arrangement John Williams wrote for Barack Obama's inauguration. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
