Actually at that time he's signed even fuller autograph to me on a Jurassic Park lithograph - which is extremely rare. It was only me and one more collector so Steven was very nice and accommodating. He is actually really nice and likes interactions with fans if it's a calm crowd and people are not yelling, pushing etc.

A great discussion, indeed! Even if some of the autographs shown above are fake, which unfortunately happens as Williams' autographs are among of the frequently forged ones on the market, due to their high value. I wanted to show off my two dual-signed Williams/Spielberg pieces that I have managed to complete earlier this year. First one is a "Jaws" DVD that I have originally acquired from someone who won it in a lottery ran by Chicago Symphony Orchestra some 5-6 years ago - I have added Steven on it earlier this year when he visited Berlin to pick up his honorary Golden Bear award at Berlinale film festival, and he signed this one with his almost full-name signature. The second one is a stunning Mondo edition of "Jurassic Park" OST on vinyl that I have managed to get signed and personalized by Maestro to myself and my kids via one of the orchestras last year, and also adding Spielberg this year in Berlin. Hope to see more signed JW pieces here!

https://jwfan.com/?page_id=11271 So with 2023 coming to an end I wonder what we can have in stone for 2024 other than 2 announced Yo-Yo Ma concerts in February... Maestro will turn 92 shortly so certainly it would be hard to imagine a packed concert schedule like throughout the last couple of years, but we never know! Ennio Morricone conducted his final concerts at the age of 90 and passed away just a year later (following accident/fall). John doesn't go out for long tournees like Ennio used to, but travelling, passing several time zones etc. at his age can be challenging and tiring, even using private jets and staying at the best hotels. I certainly expect another Tanglewood and Hollywood Bowl appearances over the summer, but I feel we might have one more surprise. Personally I keep fingers crossed for a long deserved comeback to the Royal Albert Hall with LSO. He has crossed checked all other prestigious appearances since Vienna 2020 so unless there is some great offer/invite coming from Concertgebouw Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden or Bavarian RSO, I don't really expect more appearances in continental Europe. But my bet would be on one final concert in London, especially as he is so long awaited there since 2018 cancellation.

I just realized this might have been the very last performance fully conducted by John - as ever since Chicago he's went back to his usual pattern of conducting only 2nd part of the show - which is totally understandable considering he will be 92 shortly! -

Usual encores: Yoda's and Imperial. https://www.facebook.com/reel/959970558332980 Interestingly, it's probably his first concert in a while that won't feature Raiders March. -
