It's the slower, more elegant version of "E.T. And Me" that premiered in Boston in 2009.  I suppose the only "story" is that he probably wrote it for the Boston Pops harpist at the time, Ann Hobson-Pilot.
 
 
There's no need for bootlegs, it's been available on the Keith Lockhart "Lights, Camera... Music!" album for 6 years now.

My order just shipped!

My order from the 24th of August is still showing In Progress. Will I actually receive it, or did they run out of stock again and there's a risk they might just refund me and be done with it?

I also enjoy this little gem.
 
 

The Duel of the Fates was the HL Signature edition with no alterations that I know of. 
 
 
This is correct, a specific wooden rostrum travels with the orchestra. There are multiple, but they look the same. 
 
 
The documentary crew was on-campus and filming for the days leading up to Film Night, and the concert itself.
 
 
Yes, a new edited version by JW was premiered in the Film Night concert. 
 
Using the HL Signature edition number system, 2 bars were added between m 24 and 25. HL Bars 25 and 26 are slightly re orchestrated (added vln2+vla trem, vln1 8va, HL m.26 beat 2 triplet). HL m.27 is as printed. HL m40 to 44 has been completely rewritten with new melody, harmony, meter, and orchestration. HL m.45 is back to print. 
 

Wouldn't it be funny if after all this debacle, Disney simply tossed a free copy of the CD with the special edition Blu-ray set like Universal did with ET and Schindler's List DVDs in the mid-2000s?

Wasn’t following this situation at all and had no idea it was a limited deal that sold out in pre-orders. Got notified it was back up for sale and ordered a copy. It sold out minutes later. The JW collection will remain complete!

Glad I put my order in yesterday before it sold out again! Thanks to this forum for giving me the heads-up!

No account here - just clicked 'pre order', selected PayPal and went through checkout. Got my order confirmation a minute or two later. I will now forget completely about it and probably come home from my USA trip in mid October to find it delivered.

Aww so awesome that you got those!! 🤩 I did the "sleepy" sign back to him and he pointed back and mouthed "Oh.. you too!?" 😄

If he's been micro-managing the cadenza he may wish to show up...

This is why I think Congress should add a "use it or lose it" clause in copyright law, so that the rights holder can't seek civil damages from someone making bootleg copies available, because clearly by not making (and keeping) works available for purchase, Disney themselves have estimated the market value of the product to be nil.
 
I'm in the process of watching "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and there are four episodes missing from streaming services because of Disney's censorship since they bought FX. If someone were to make a DVD or Blu-ray available of the missing episodes and got sued, a judge should tell Disney to go fly a kite as by pulling these works from legal distribution, they themselves have deemed their value to be zero. Same goes for The Simpsons' Season 3 premiere (Michael Jackson episode).

That was the evening I wish I was there 😍

That one is Keisuke Wakao, principal of the BSO and to whom Williams wrote his Oboe Concerto.

This is both amusing and moving... that the love for John Williams transcends yet another generation.  Delightful.

Here's one more pic from Saturday. The fan next to me was hoping for a Harry Potter selection for the final encore, and shouted "Harry Potter!".
 
John's reaction was to do his best impression of Dumbledore...
 
 

Made a somewhat rudimentary album cover from some online articles' photos. I'm no graphic designer, but it's something.
