I thought we might have a thread for the available JW Evening at Pops broadcasts.  To start things off, here are two: JW's Inaugural Concert and a Tribute to Nat Cole.
 
 
 

For those who missed it, I recorded it:
 

Chewy · Always End Credits (ClassicFM)

Ah yes, Emperor's Face Pops.
 
I think you're right, that confirms the old speculation about that.  Nice memory!

It’s a little known fact that talented Queen guitarist Brian May is also an accomplished film composer (I think I read that in a Sony Classical post)

For over 30 years of the 88 that you have been around, I have have been enthralled by your music. I have listened to it for countless hours. I have formed many friendships because of it, and it has impacted my life in ways that are simply undeniable. 
 
Thank you John Williams
 
Thank you JWFAN.
 

Happy Birthday Maestro @88.....

Both CD and DVD release confirmed!

He’s not on a conference call with the Royal Albert Hall and LSO is he by any chance Jay?! 😂

He was bursting with glee when during the first part of the concert. Not quite so much in the end, but I think he was just tired by then. No surprise after a massive concert with 5 encores.
 
 
I thought the arrangements worked wonderfully and were some of the highlights of the concert. But a diva? Mutter was perfectly humble and absolutely refused Williams's continuous prompts for her to step forward to claim her applause, to the point where I think he even got slightly annoyed with her. But she absolutely made a point of never stepping closer to the audience than Williams was so the applause would be his.
 
 
And bear in mind that they're playing Vienna Horns. They're much harder to play, and one or two flubs in prominent horn parts are quite normal. The small JP flub wasn't a big issue. And their sound! The brass chorale in War Horse was one of the concert's highlights for me. Made me wish he'd play something from Lincoln.
Stupid automatic mode on my DSLR mostly focused on the heads right in front of me. I don't usually use it, and now I know why...

He fixed the Tweet. 😄

Cameraman confirmed to me that the concert isn't only broadcasted later on some local channel, but there's also going to be Blu-ray release of it.

Just wow!!!

Hi Guys, it was incredible !
 
i was in row 3 so some good pictures ! 
 
 

Yes, it was filmed. One manually operated camera and several remote controlled ones, as far as I could tell. 

With at least 3 Canon UHD camera's 

😅 ooops. I’m a wreck. understandably. It’s magnificent.
 
his first two sentences: Guten Tag, meine Damen und Herren! Ich spreche kein Deutsch...
 
👍🏻
 
UPDATE:
best line yet, while reminiscing about E.T.: When I wrote it, I was 12.  
 
😅

It's stunning!
