Denève is an excellent conductor and extracts from Williams' music everything that should be extracted. He's also a huge Williams fan.
 
 
 
 
As for the orchestra, it's top in Japan, so I'm optimistic too. 

@Miguel Andrade

I have a feeling the Tokyo concert will be released physically. Universal Music Japan are pretty good with putting stuff out and considering how crazy popular these JW concerts are, I’m sure they’ll release something.
 
Universal and Sony have already reissued over a dozen CDs to mark JWs return to Japan, so I’m certain they’ll release a recording of the event to mark this very special occasion. 
 
Fingers crossed in any case!
 
My ticket for the Tokyo concert is just behind the orchestra, so I’m hoping I’ll be in the concert film… somewhere 😂

Arrived!
 
I'd to pay the equivalent of $6 extra for two CDs (one for a friend). It's a steal because I already paid it, but I'm not going to bother with it right now.

He conducted it at Hollywood Bowl in 2012. Also 'Call of the Champions' and 'Dry Your Tears, Afrika' as part of 'Three Selections for Chorus and Orchestra'.
 
 
 
I think it has happened a couple more times.
 

Wonderfully.  
 
I really hope it'll also be released on blu-ray. It'd be great to have Sound the Bells and For Seiji in this format. Plus Three Million Light Years from Home and Stargazers, which are part of the Suite from E.T., and Fawkes the Phoenix (not performed in Berlin).
 
There are of course some repetitions here - I would gladly replace The Rebellion is Reborn with The Asteriod Fields, and Leia's Theme with Rey's Theme, Anakin's Theme or Rise of Skywalker, but I'm happy that Williams' next concert will be filmed. Let them film as many as possible!

I'm sure what they film at Tanglewood to show on video screens is preserved in the archives - that's not a problem, they don't need tape for that, just some space on a computer or a hard disc.
 
They may not be planning anything, but knowing that these recordings exist gives me hope that sooner or later they will be released. For example, last year's 'Tanglewood on Parade' was filmed by at least seven cameras - some moving. This is enough to assemble a concert to watch at home.
 
 

I don’t know if the video portion got saved anywhere (maybe some secret archive), but as for the sound mix, perhaps they record everything out of an abundance of caution so whatever turns out to be his final concert, a recording will exist ready to be released, just like Leonard Bernstein (whose August 1990 Tanglewood performance unexpectedly turned out to be his last)?  


Not having kids certainly helps. But like many things in life, it’s about prioritizing what you really want to do and make the necessary sacrifices wherever possible to make it happen.
 
The first Williams concert I saw in Boston (and quite a few that followed) involved me taking the overnight Greyhound bus from Montreal to Boston and then taking the overnight bus home post-concert as well.
 
In Philly last year I used a free night certificate from a hotel chain for which I have a co-branded credit card.
 
My hotel stay last night was also covered by points, but living even further away now, I had to drive 15 hours round-trip this past weekend. Not many would willingly put themselves through the inconvenience, but a devoted fan might.
 
 

Aww so awesome that you got those!! 🤩 I did the "sleepy" sign back to him and he pointed back and mouthed "Oh.. you too!?" 😄

He conducted it at Hollywood Bowl in 2012. Also 'Call of the Champions' and 'Dry Your Tears, Afrika' as part of 'Three Selections for Chorus and Orchestra'.

Glad I was able to meet with fellow fans, and finish off the amazing evening in the 3rd row for a unique JWFan selfie!

That was just glorious. What a gift! That program was just brilliant. I had a permanent smile and tears in my eyes. Bravo Maestro!
 
Nice to meet @Foxfan and  @SilverTrumpet !  Jay, I’m so sorry you didn’t get there in time for the meet up. 

I can now say I’ve reminded John Williams which Star Wars film his music is from twice. Once at Carnegie Hall last year, and again tonight! 😂
 
Absolutely stunning night. Maybe my favorite concert of his I’ve been to. The program was perfect. The choir was epic and Duel of the Fates gave me chills as a dream I’d had since childhood came true. I was directly in front of Williams and had more interactions with him than I ever have before (including reminding him which Star Wars “The Asteroid Field” is from).
 
I’m glowing!
 
EDIT: Also, Duel of the Fates’ ending used the alternate version where the choir went up an octave mid-note. Someone here can probably explain it much better than me. Anakin’s Theme got reworked a bit, too!

My pics:
 

Great concert, great night! 
 

How I envy you! Duel of the Fates and Anakin's Theme in one concert! And The Asteroid Field! And some other rarities. 
 
I wonder about a few names mentioned in the program, especially Shawn Murphy as a live sound engineer. Please tell me this concert was professionally filmed.

Not me. At home, I almost always listen to music from CDs. Sometimes Spotify Premium - mainly new stuff I want to check. And let people say what they want, CDs sound better than streaming on my audio system.

Apparently Tim Greiving has just announced the first English biography on John Williams, to be released in 2025:

Me too. If one day I get to have DoD on CD, that's the only way I will listen to it.
