but he's very expressive throughout the various clips where he's conducting, particularly during the rehearsals.

Love this clip from that ESB documentary—not for the actual performance, but the extroverted way he manages the LSO in rehearsal. Like trying to make a high school band behave. "Alright here it is, gents. Settle down boys." Seeing him work to keep them in line, it's a little bit easier to imagine him getting truly exasperated and walking off the stage in a huff over discipline issues, as in the famous Boston Pops meltdown.

 

It's also fun to see the total command and efficiency he displays in rehearsing it on the sound stage—managing the brass section's endurance, working a particular bar and using it also to set levels at the same time.

I loved that ESB video.

At about 4:43, the snare drummer jumps his entrance by a full measure.....he rolls through it, and then the camera cuts to Williams shooting him an absolutely pissed-off glare.
