    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.

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

    I mean, they likely got hundreds or thousands of orders.  It isn't realistic to expect them to have shipped out every order in one day

    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!

    This several times over.  I think this suite plays as a full symphony and demands a good recording.

    Pawel P. reacted to rpvee in John Williams to Guest Conduct Marine Band in Washington, DC on July 16   
    What a wonderful afternoon! Williams conducted the second half and was in great spirits. Encores were 1941 and Imperial March. The physical program was beautiful, and they were also giving out copies of the CD posted a couple posts above this one that had matching cover art to the program. I was lucky enough to be given a ticket in the front row and so once again had some great little interactions with the Maestro from the podium.  As I mentioned in a main thread about the occasion, Williams was also honored with the title of Honorary Marine!
     
    Looking forward to Tanglewood in a couple weeks!

    Yes, it does. It's not an original CD. I can't imagine not having Anne-Sophie Mutter's name of the last track (it's on the album shown on social media). There are more differences.
     
    Someone paid over a hundred dollars on Ebay for this fake CD (and there were more bidders!)

    Been there in Krakow and the Suite sounded fantastic, no generic at all. I spoke to Simon about the chances of a releasing CD. He said that the material was prepared for the CD, but of course it's not up to him to decide.
     
    He promised that he would once again write to people who decide about it. It's obvious he cares about that too.

    I saw the film a second time in a regular cinema (not imax) and I could hear the music better.
     
    The standout unreleased music are:
     
    -Indy on the Train Roof . At least 4-5 minutes or original action music
    -School Relic Room: Mysterious music as Indy shows Helena the dial
    -School Relic Room Escape :Action cue
    -Indy rides the Horse :70's style action music
    -Tuktuk in Tangiers Part 2 :At least 4-5 minutes action music with Raiders march variations
    -Archimedes Tomb Part 2: Climactic part of the cue as Voller assembles the dial
    -Flight towards the Fissure: Lots of Nazi themes ending with KoTCs music re-use
    -Syracuse Battle Part 2: I heard an unreleased version of Archimedes theme in there.
    -End credits: about 3 minutes of unreleased Nazi themes
     
    There's probably a lot more I can't remember

    Saw the movie on Monday.
     
    If I had to compare the score to any of the previous parts in the series, I'd pick  "The Last Crusade". There was also really one leading new theme (Grail) and the compelling action music that dominated the score. There is even more of it here. Helena's Theme we hear more often in the film itself in adventure arrangements (that are really great) than the one we know from last concerts. It's only in its full "Golden Age" glory during the end credits.
     
    But there is a lot going on here, it is dynamic and dense, because there is no shortage of action in the movie. There are also some musical surprises. In one of the scenes I heard something that would fit to "Dirty Harry" or "Bullitt" or other Shiffrin's scores form 70's. Very unusual for Williams.  There's another theme, more exotic, similar to "Tintin". And a lot of "Raider's March" and twice
     
     
    The music is very intense, just like "The Last Crusade" mixed with "Tintin". And sometimes it rushes like "The Lost World". The music accompanying action scenes, with motifs accompanying the antagonists, is very intense and the whole score is very "busy" , if I may use such a word. Williams had a lot to do here. And must have had fun!
     
    And there is theme related to the McGuffin - very simple one. 
     
    I can't wait to hear the score from the album and I have no doubt that it will be a great listening experience.
     
    Williams and Ross are listed as conductors.
     
    And the movie itself? Without giving away any spoilers, I really liked it. A lot of humor, lots of action, with a solid emotion in the background. There were moments that really surprised me. The biggest acting star here is indeed the fantastic Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
     
    Can't wait to see it again!

    Pawel P. got a reaction from Brando in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Score in the film) - SPOILERS ALLOWED!   
    If I remember correctly, the music in the last scene was light as a feather and quite touching at the same time
     
    It's hard for me to point out individual highlights, because there's a lot going on here. Besides, when watching the film, I didn't always focus enough on the music, because I was following the plot. For example, speaking about the scene with music similar to Spyders or Minority Report, I didn't remember it musically at all! 
     
    Certainly, the greatest highlight are the adventure variations on Helena's Theme, the music accompanying fights and chases, two travel map pieces. The entire 20-minute opening sequence from 1944 is a glorious Williams' tour de force, with few very thrilling and exciting entrances of The Raider's March.
     
    There is also a lot much more subtle fragments, full of arrangement flavors. Discovering it both in the film at the next screening (I have to wait for the premiere like everyone else) and on the CD will surely be fascinating!

    Sorry, I didn't read carefully.
     
    Immediately after Raider's March and Helena's Theme (played in its entirety, without Anne-Sophie Mutter), there was some MacGuffin and action music variations, but I have to say it's quite an unusual End Credits for Williams. More like typical  Horner's End Credits, with slow-paced music. There is no Raider's March at the end.
     
    I'm curious if we'll hear a slightly different suite on the album.

    It's very late, so I'm going to sleep, but after one listen I'm just blown away with this score. There is so much going on here, so much to discover. For now, I'm not worried about what's not on the album (there are a lot significant omissions). I'm just happy about how much brilliant stuff is here. I love this score!
