    "The Eiger Sanction" theme is likely to be the one by Kyle Eastwood quintet (released on his "Cinematic" album from 2019).

    Miguel Andrade reacted to Yavar Moradi in John Williams is the guest on this week's "For Scores" podcast with Jon Burlingame   
    It’s not an exact science. Yes there are some factors to consider (like structure/sonata form… and soloist(s) + orchestra is *almost* always a must) but ultimately it’s up to the composer whether something is a “concerto” or not. There are certainly some composers who have written pieces for soloist and orchestra named “Concerto” who don’t care about sonata form. And about 20 years ago when I was really getting into classical music for the first time, my mind was blown to discover this Concerto for Solo Piano (essentially it has the solo piano *also* cover what would be the orchestra’s part):
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerto_for_Solo_Piano_(Alkan)
     
    And yes, there are many pieces which are properly referred to as concertos though they don’t have “Concerto” in the title. But structurally I don’t think most composers would tell you the existing Williams piano and orchestra pieces are concerti, and Williams himself doesn’t apparently consider them as such.
     
    The proper blanket general term in classical music for *any* piece written for orchestra + solo instrument(s) is “concertante work”. You can think of “concertante” as meaning “concerto-ish” I suppose, but in the case of the Alkan example I provided, it somehow IS accepted as a concerto but wouldn’t really be considered a concertante work because it is after all just solo piano. Confusing, I know.

    I've only seen that one as a jewel case. The digipack, as far as I know, was part of the box set.
    I did find the other three scores on their expanded Concorde incarnation as jewel case stand alone releases a few years ago.

     Indeed. They have been doing these three encores during all the tour.

    Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was ordered from the UK if memory serves. Temple of Doom and Last Crusade I found on a local store on sale and were the only copies they had. Sadly not Raiders, but I would imagine that one was also available on jewel case.

    Unlike what is said on the press release, this was available on both CD and vinyl in the late 80s, retitled to "The John Williams Band Plays the Music of Harold

    Miguel Andrade got a reaction from Naïve Old Fart in John Williams Chronology   
    Regarding concerts/events Williams attended, he was part of the Bowl welcoming event of Gustavo Dudamel. I think I have video grabs of that one on some back up disc.
    https://www.laphil.com/press/releases/967
     
     
    He attended Dudamel 's 1st season opening concert that featured the premiere of Adams' City Noir and Mahler's Titan at Disney Hall. He can be seen in the audience very briefly on the DG DVD release.
     
    I also remember that someone saw him at the premiere of Goldenthal's opera Grendel (maybe someone at FSM boards).
