Thanks for the tip! It is one of my fave movies and scores, but A) I really hate going to London and B) last time I went to a movie-with-orchestra thing at the Albert Hall (it was Raiders) they had the movie audio WAAAAY too quiet, so much so that they had to put subtitles on, and it kinda ruined the experience for me. I mean, I know we were all there to hear JW's fantastic score first and foremost, but it looked like they massively under-specced the PA for the event or something because yeah, the dialogue/SFX were almost awkwardly quiet in comparison.... So I'm not sure I want to chance coming all the way to the hall again and have it be the same setup..... 

 

I have been to a few there and I would say it depends where one is sitting. ET you couldn't hear dialogue too well... Jurassic Park was fine. I think it is the PA setup and the weird shape of the hall.

I would love to hear that! 

 

 

Can I get a link too please? 

 

I reallt enjoyed Close Encounters. I'd never heard that live before. Something about it coming in from the complete nothingness of the silence of the Albert Hall - spinechilling. 

 

There was a lot of Star Wars, not that I'm complaining, but I'd have loved to have heard something a bit newer, like Rey's theme perhaps, or some of the terrifying First Order stuff from TFA. 

 

Also, Home Alone?! Haha sorry, don't want to look a gifthorse in the mouth but it's one of my favourites and it's just SO John. . 

The royal phil are doing home alone to picture on the 22nd december... 

 

... At the royal albert hall 😁😊

 

Not many tickets left tho 😢

I just downloaded it at Gatwick Airport. What a crappy bit rate. Being a renown Classical Music Station, this sound quality is clearly not advertising for them...

I have it captured from SKY Q digital out. I'll put it up as FLAC when I get time 😊

Classical FM just said you can hear the broadcast anytime for the next 7 days from their website but I must have heard the link wrong.  They said classicalfm.com but it isn't there, does anyone have the correct link?  Also can someone who attended take a picture of the orchestra roster please?  Thanks.

Terrific recording on instagram of Harry Potter

Few minutes until the « crime hour » in London... like Agatha Christie said... and not much feedback from people who attented the concert.

 

Are they all sleeping already?

It was really terrific. Genuinely excellent.

The expression and dynamics tonight were simply incredible. I got emotional at almost everything! Must be one of the finest orchestras in the world. I have many videos to edit over the next few days 😁

['A Celebration of John Williams in Concert' - Royal Albert Hall, October 26, 2018 (CONDUCTED BY DIRK BROSSÉ)]

That was amazing. I managed to get some in video too on the sly 😂

Well apparently it spilled the beans potentially on a La La Land Records Black Friday surprise.  It's a part of film score fan history now!

I admit, I quite enjoy Tyler’s package for Formula 1. It’s probably just because I now associate it with F1, one of my favorite things in the world, but what can I say? It’s my favorite thing of his that he’s done since Children of Dune.

Got my branded water, a stella and box with food. Life is good 😂🍲

Crazy Rich Asians romance theme is nice too...

I am still a bit sad about not seeing Williams in the flesh. But the concert of Brian Tyler was really good and I met hin in person after the show. 

That's a great photo. Kudos to him for that he goes up in my estimation. 

 

Nice size of orchestra too! Not overly familiar with his work but do like his rework of Goldsmith's Universal logo a lot and he has some decent moments I'm sure. 

 

He's a good drummer too I believe 😁

I'll be there but also have my Sky Q set up to record. Probably be a reasonable stream from there I'd say. 192kbps joint stereo from satellite. 

 

I have an hdmi capture box too so can get the audio out. 😊

 Gonzo made me full on CRY at that concert! And I managed to get my Force Awakens print signed by JJ afterwards, and get one done by Adam Savage who I just adore.. so yeah that gig was fantastic for me! 

Brilliant wasn't it. James Newton Howard was excellent too. That pretty woman "he sleeps" cue always gets me. One of those ones I wish they would release already!

yeah I've already set that up to record. And I know I'll enjoy it but... not the same as being in the RAH with so many like minded people listening to all those amazing musicians. I swear if Spielberg or Lucas turns up to do a little speech I'll throw things 😂

Giacchino's 50th at the RAH was insane! So many famous guests appeared on stage. Even one of the muppets did a song 😂😂😂😂

If i turn up at a bunch of London hospitals and find him do you reckon he'll sign my orchestral scores? 😂🤘

I now also have a box ticket. Box first half stalls second half. Why the hell not. 😁

Why cancel? 

 

Anyone know if JJ Abrams is in the UK or filming in the desert?    Spielberg in the UK?

He is ill in hospital.

A surprise at the concert?

I'd put my money on a Darth Maul cameo.

Or Jar Jar bloody Binks....
