BB-8

Not terribly unique anymore, but one can't complain, really.

Its all fun and games now, but remember your enthusiasm for this when you read the following blurb next year.  "Due to overseas conducting commitments, Williams had to pass on scoring Spielberg's highly anticipated new UFO movie.  Spielberg admitted that he was disappointed but looks forward to working with Zimmer for the first time."   

One thing for sure is that the Imperial March will be the last encore 

BfG suite, Rey's Theme, Astroid Field, Forest Battle.

The Terminal, Prayer for Peace, Yorktown March, Joy Ride, the People's House...

Plus To the Oscars, Helena's Theme, and TROS grand suite.
 
Would make sense from a record selling point of view to add further material.

Gorfaine & Schwartz?

John Williams will be in the city I live in ON MY BIRTHDAY. WHAT COULD I WANT MORE

Maybe this news will encourage DG to put Vienna 2 and Milan out soon now that they need to start butchering Berlin 2.

Good. I've been meaning to revisit Berlin anyway.
 
 
 
After three concerts in a row, I doubt he'll immediately go on another "tour" concert. I can totally imagine him also doing London and/or Vienna next year at this point, but I would expect that to be a separate trip.
 
 
Perhaps he's reserving that for Vienna…

Immediately blocking the calendar and already permission from Mrs GlastoEls received! 

I wouldn't have thought, that he goes again for three concerts in a row. Last time he was quite exhausted after three days, four if you count the open rehearsal. for youngsters. He spipped the last encore "Princess Leia's Theme" on day two and three already. So, I would have thought, he cuts it a little shorter next time.

Oh wow wow wow, God...

I'll add links to the official website here when it gets added there.

I’m wondering if we will get Crystal Skull too. I can’t decide if I should go ahead and grab these or wait and hope for a box set. 

Did you all see this???? Awesome for Vinyl lovers:
 
TOD Vinyl And TLC Vinyl 
 
 
 

I think I asked him about recording ideas before the concert, and he said he had no ideas. It's proabbly copyright nonsense no sensible human being cares about, but maybe he could use his Italian charm. I'm sure JW wouldn't mind us having the Milan concert.

I wonder whether @TownerFan sees ways of reaching out to Filarmonica della Scala re the one-off Milan concert to get the archival tapes to an indie publisher?
 
Likely that copy-right issues are the main hurdle.

Vienna 2 and/or Milan!

I highly doubt it

Leatherbound?

I just want Vienna 2 - period.

I'm going with the Mutter.....

I don't love everything they've done together... but this might be my favourite of the bunch. I think her playing style lends itself really well to the piece. There's mischief, excitement and danger in there. And the whole ending just sounds absolutely massive and awesome. 

Plus, I was there  so being completely biased it wins by default in my head anyway!
