Sure!

Yay!

Don't worry, only intolerant people can be negatively affected by C&C. I hope it's not your case!

Many artists don't want their live performances to be an exact replica of their studio recordings (fortunately).

I don't think he's talking about the quality of the movies, but the experience of seeing Star Wars for the first time in the theater (in 1977). To which I agree.

He may end up conducting at least 9 concerts next year, but over the last two decades he conducted: 15 in 2003 19 in 2007 14 in 2008 12 in 2011 12 in 2012 14 in 2013 13 in 2014 15 in 2018 11 in 2021

Thr original version had a wide release on LP and cassette all around the world. Japan was the only country where it was released on CD because the format was still in its infancy.

I don't think anyone listens to LPs only. Indeed.

Interesting. Can anyone shed more light on this?

I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, but never found the right moment to work on it. Now I've realized that it's as easy as start a thread and compile as many dates as people may want to add. You can copy/paste all the events already posted by others and add them to your post, or simply add a bunch of new ones and someone else will make and updated list, which will be added to this main post on a regular basis. All kinds of events attended by the Maestro, awards/nominations, concerts, recording sessions, even original album releases, are welcome to the list. Here's a start with some examples: 1932/02/08 - John Towner Williams is born in Queens, New York 1976/03/29 - John Williams wins his 2nd Academy Award for the original score for Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" 2020/01/29 - John Williams wins the Grammy Award in the Best Instrumental Composition category for his "Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Symphonic Suite" 2020/01/31 - Jim Svejda interviews John Williams on KUSC Radio 2020/02/08 - John Williams saluted at the Society of Composers & Lyricists’ annual Oscar music reception 2021/07/24 - John Williams conducts the World Premiere of his "Violin Concerto No. 2" at Tanglewood, with Anne-Sophie Mutter on violin 2021/08/14 - John Williams conducts the World Premiere of his new work "Overture to the Oscars" at Tanglewood Feel free to expand the event descriptions, as long as they're not too long (this isn't a biography but a chronological list). I'm sure it'll be fun! EDIT - Link to KittBash's spreadsheet: John Williams Chronology - WORK IN PROGRESS

John Williams and His Music for E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, by Robert Normandie (PDF)

Are you referring to Overture to the Oscars? We'll all get to hear it on Sunday.

Two nice photos by BSO's Hillary Scott (from Steven Ledbetter's review of the concert): And a VIDEO of Williams and Lockhart taking turns at the beginning of Flying from E.T.: https://www.berkshireeagle.com/video-john-williams-conducts-the-bso-during-tanglewoods-annual-film-night/video_4a3d98c6-fea5-11eb-b716-3331566abec1.html

Yes, especially the action writing, and that's the exact reason why I preferred one over the other when I started to listen to both in the '70s. Thanks for bringing that up.
