    Thank you. I'm actually quite disgusted by some of the people on here. As excited as everyone was to see him conduct, some for the first time, the way people turned and started foul mouthing the situation, some without the thought of even wishing Williams a speedy recovery says more to me than anything else. I knew there was a reason I told Stefan I'd rather not go to the dinner to meet most people on here, even though I do really like some of you quite a bit. Williams life might be on the line right now and all some of you can think about is how inconvenient it is that he will not be there? What kind of world do you people live in? I would say I'm shocked but really, the way I have seen some of you talk on here, I'm not sure why I am. Gross! I'm heartbroken that he is that ill. I said from the start I wish he would not do this journey. I just got to London a few days ago to see Harry Potter and the concert with him. I do not care that he will not show up. I only care that he gets better and gets back to LA in health. What is wrong with you people?

    For CE3K? Edit: No other dates announced yet for this yet, if you were asking about this film.

    You know I didn't know but I see someone else answered. I was pissed off as there was no program. One thing I love is collecting programs of concerts I go to. And that's usually where I get my info. Still do not know if I will have it spare since this was one of the concerts that no members who own seats got their seats for themselves. We all had to scramble to get our own. Therefor instead of having 5 I have 3 and mine and one other are definitely spoken for. We shall see

    Oh I was at the London concert at the Royal Albert Hall. It was fantastic. I took two little vids. I'll put them up on youtube and then share them here. I cried at the end..... I was close and had an extra ticket with me as my friend decided to forget what day it was. I should have asked here.... Next time! Here you go x (excuse the guy to the left of me that I wanted to smack a few times!)

    First of all the Conductor is Anthony Inglis. He LOVES film music and is the resident conductor of the London Concert Orchestra who love to play film music. I should have recorded Hook because it was spectacularly played and he said it is one of his all time favorite pieces to conduct bar none especially with this orchestra. He also talked about what a master Williams is and how he has come from a long line of incredible composers before him who have influenced him and his style. I honestly don't see anything wrong with having a little fun be it with film music or when doing something like a classical spectacular where they dress up and do stunts as well and there is no film music played there, only classical music. Williams is one of my favorite composers ever, most of you know that from the way I talk, and some of you know it from how I write, but make no mistake, his film music, as much as I adore it, is not a Mahler Symphony or a Richard Strauss Tone Poem... LOL It is not cheapening his themes to once in a while have fun with it. It just added to the atmosphere, and honestly, each time I watch it I giggle at Darth Vader conducting and Breathing and can still appreciate that this is one of the best, if not, THE BEST, theme ever written for film. But that's me.

    There we go!

    Oh Come On, lol. You couldn't tell I was joking? Even with me saying "I'm Revolting" at the end?! Sheesh... heh

    I think, because it's film music, it is some people's "pop" music. As in popular, not the genre, so people go to have fun and they still love and enjoy the music, but there's an added thing to it. BTW, with the exception of Darth Vader coming in at the encore and the conductor coming out as Captain Jack Sparrow after the intermission, the rest of the concert was like any normal concert. He played pieces and people clapped and cheered after each one. I just was able to film that one because it was the encore. I mean honestly, I risk being thrown out of the Albert Hall to bring you footage that no one else has and this is the thanks I get?! That's it! No More I tell you!!! I'm Revolting!!!!

    You people... I thought I was the snob of the group but you guys are something else haha. WTF. For all those going you would never attend a concert like this at the Albert Hall I call bullshit! If someone gave you tickets, you would go in a heartbeat to see this concert Yo also don't see people having as much fun as this at those concerts either. Trust me. I have 90% of the proms night tickets in my living room and going through them to see which ones I want to give back and which ones I want to attend. I go every year. Some fabulous concerts but not as much fun
  10. ocelot
    It's the encore, you can have a little fun with it. Although he did come in as Jack Sparrow before and said his wife is always mistaking him for Johnny Depp.
  11. ocelot
    Here's the first encore. Sorry it was blurry to start. I had to be sneaky to record this and at one point I had to hide my phone!
  12. ocelot
    Well they have the standard full orchestra which Williams writes for (triple winds, big brass section) and Zimmer's music has been arranged for that size orchestra so that his music can be played in concert plus then as I said, prerecords of synths, samples and extra drums for his. BTW, I was gonna say, there are more of me dressed and undressed on my instagram @waelbinali I know you so want to go there lol
  13. ocelot
    Haha, it wasn't a competition between the two. Zimmer had added pre recorded synths to pump up the orchestra, so people got to see two sides of scoring for film. One pure classical orchestral and the other more pop, big orchestral sounds and synth prerecords. It was just about sitting and enjoying the scores you love or like. Some love one over another and others love both. There's room for everyone. Wait, what's wrong with me? Did I OD on Xanax?!

    I have to say, it was fun all around. There wasn’t an empty seat anywhere and the whole audience had a great time. I looked around and no one was bored or talking or looking at phones. Most were bopping their heads and just smiles all over the place. On to Close Encounters Concert film next week, probably with my bag as my are again 😂 Off with his Balls! Burn him at the Stake! Stake? Steak? Whatever.... BTW your seat for the Williams Concert is closer than the ones I am on now I'll have you know that the pic I have as my avatar is probably the tamest I have in regards to no shirt, lol.....
  15. ocelot
    I had two seats. This is my date 😂 I was forced to wear one coming into the venue. Very annoying of them! I mean I work out so I don’t have to wear a shirt lol

  20. ocelot
    lol, right? I have tickets so I'll be there as usual....
  21. ocelot
    Concert tonight at the Royal Albert Hall. Anyone going?
  22. ocelot
    I overslept and missed it lol The audience stayed to the end with Star Trek the previous night and no one spoke throughout so it was nice but I think the Albert Hall is better with that in general.
  23. ocelot
    Its absolutely disgusting! lol
  24. ocelot
    Right?! Each time I read some comments I'm like "uuummm, it's just a movie....."

    For all of you Giacchino lovers, I had the chance to go this afternoon to the Royal Albert Hall to see Star Trek in Concert. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra (most of the RPO but not top tier as they had a concert conflicting the same day at Cadogan Hall) played the score absolutely beautifully. It was amazing to take a friend who had never seen Star Trek or a live orchestra. He kept turning to me with his eyes wide open and jaw on the ground which made me giggle all the time. I actually do love this new Star Trek reinterpretation and cast so I had a great time. I think Gia's timing and nuances in this are spot on. He sets the pace and tone beautifully. I personally just wish the theme was more a theme rather than a motif that doesn't really go anywhere. That's just a personal preference. I think it sort of thuds rather than flies. Other than that, the score is big, and really takes you on a journey with the film and hats off to him on this score. First Horn player Anna Douglas was a standout as was Wang Xiao on the Erhu! Oh one other gripe. It wasn't because of where I was sitting, because these are our family seats since the 80s and never had this problem before. The trombones were landing late, but it wasn't the players. They were mic'd so I believe it was that causing the delay with the brass stabs throughout the film. They were about half a second to a second late each time and that was a tad annoying. Next Week, 9th of June, I see Zimmer vs Williams (Oh Boy, lol) and the week after, 14th of June, I have Close Encounters in concert with the same orchestra again. Anyone going to either of these?
