What Live To Projection concerts have you seen and not seen?
Tallguy replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
My one experience (and yes, I've said this before) was an audience that was treating it far more like a film and less like a concert. Has anyone experienced a performance that felt very different to this? There is a performance of Raiders this summer that I might get lawn seats for just because a) it could be a nice night and b) the songs (hee hee hee) that I want to hear most, Map Room Dawn, Dessert Chase, and Miracle of the Arc have little to no dialogue. -

I've been thinking about this all day. (I'll watch the Hanks / Spielberg documentary on the Bloody Hundredth later.) One thing to add: The FX in this final episode really seemed to level up. It started out well enough. Better than we would have dreamed of 20 years ago, but still with a bit of really great video game vibe. And I've seen B-17s flying in real life. (I got to ride in a B-25 once. Yowza!) But in this last episode there were shots that were as close to real as I could hope for. There's one shot of a B-17 taxiing where just the SHADOWS made me notice how gorgeous it was.

Wow. For people worried they wouldn't "stick the landing"? The landing was stuck. The last episode was a roller coaster. Lots of perspectives. Most of the episode was just terrifying. I have a bias towards the subject matter. I'm sure Band of Brothers is better. But I liked this more. I've never finished The Pacific. There is a Robin Hood mug on the mantle (I think it was in last week's episode as well). Fantastic callback to one of my absolute favorite movies, Twelve O'Clock High. I'm not the only one who spotted it. I'll probably watch this again with the rest of the family. EDIT: Oh! The music! the music is top notch. Some of the last episode is reminiscent of The Real Hero from Avengers: Endgame. Which is fine by me.

It was insane how the Batman logo was EVERYWHERE that summer. (And then it happened again the next summer with The Simpsons. Sorry, Dick Tracy.) An amazing score. I had no idea what to expect, music-wise. (Muddled somewhat even more by the association with Prince.) That opening scene blew me the hell away. Decent into Mystery was so good. It was like buying Decent into Mystery and getting a Batman CD for free! Oh, this was the first soundtrack that I was aware of that had a songtrack AND then a full score. I was the bane (sorry) of the local music stores' existence for weeks. "Hi. Do you have Batman yet?" "It's right over there." "No, that's Prince. I want the actual music." "No, that's all there is." "No, there's another one coming out." "I don't know anything about that." Annnnnd repeat. For WEEKS. Sorry. Does anyone know if the Elfman soundtrack was planned from the start or if it was in reaction to the movie being an insane hit and the score being so lauded? Bummer that it wasn't nominated for best score. (The Little Mermaid still would have won.) Was the score to The Fabulous Baker Boys any good?

I think someone said it was from Thief of Hearts (that I am not familiar with). -
TOP GUN: Limited Edition (2-CD SET) by La La Land Records
Tallguy replied to Smaug The Iron's topic in General Discussion
The biggest "failing" of the set is the liner notes. What's there is actually pretty great. But as a for instance it does mention the humming vocals for the instrumental of Take My Breath Away. But it doesn't mention that those vocals are not on the disc! So what are we listening to? And who is the market for this set if not nerds like us who want to know these things? Is that the bit that is tracked with another Faltermeyer score? I GATHER that Dog Fight #3 is an alternate of Goose's Death. But I'm not sure if that's factual or someone's reasonable guess. -

Compare the strings at 1:56 of the above to 2:22 on this: Not even in the same class.
