Greg1138 3 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I seem to remember from last time that at the back of the field where we sit there's a building with pillars - suggest meeting by a pillar at about 6.45? I'll be wearing an olive green jacket with a white stripe down the arms.........unless anyone has any better suggestions about where to meet?

Omen II 1,235 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I seem to remember from last time that at the back of the field where we sit there's a building with pillarsGreg,The "building with pillars" is actually Number 1 Canada Square, aka Canary Wharf Tower, the tallest building in the UK and one of the tallest in Europe - evidently you didn't look up much last time?! Unfortunately I cannot make this concert, but if you have time there are some decent pubs in Greenwich a short train ride away - take the Docklands Light Railway from Canary Wharf DLR to Cutty Sark (no more than 10 minutes) and there is the King's Arms or, a short walk eastwards along the Thames path, the Trafalgar Tavern and the Cutty Sark Tavern on the riverside. Depending on the weather, there are some nice views and places to sit near Canary Wharf pier (on the Isle of Dogs just west of the park).That said, where you suggested meeting is as good a place as any in Canada Square Park. Be sure to post here what they play in the concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_JWFAN 11 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'll be seeing the London Symphony Orchestra in a couple weeks in Daytona Beach (their official American summer home). The final concert of their 9 day stay is an all Hollywood program and I've heard they will do Star Wars and Jaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,235 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 How did Hymn to the Fallen and Call of the Champions sound without a choir (I assume there wasn't room for a choir)?And did the rain keep off?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hymn to the Fallen was actually superb........I wish I could say the same for Call of the Champions but it just didn't cut it for me......and the weather was great..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for you, bur I didn't find you... The place was much smaller, and more crowded, than I expected ; but the concert exceeded my expectations ! Here are a few reactions :-First of all, the choice of music was fantastic ! I never thought we would get to hear so much ! Hearing a non-choral Hymn to the Fallen was remarkable ; JFK being played was a good surprise (yet the trumpet soloist didn't sound very energetic) ; the Lord of the Rings piece (the Breaking of the Fellowship) was well-executed -- I was disappointed to hear some booing... No comment <_< . The "boos" were maybe caused by too much... booze (several people had pick-nicks, and lots of empty bottles surrounding them...)-My favorites : Star Trek and Ilia's theme : GORGEOUS ; The Superman March was perfect ; Out of Africa was amazingly played (I had never adored the theme , but when played live, it's almost like a different piece) ; the Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye medley was indeed fabulous.-The conductor, Xavier Roth, was extremely good ; he had an interesting way of almost dancing around whilst conducting ; the spokesman, also a drum player, called Neil something I think, was very entertaining : two favorites among his numerous jokes : he joked that he asked Schwarzenegger what composer he'd have liked to be... Schwartzie answered "I'll be Bach" ! ; the spokesman also did a funny imitation of Sean Connery telling Pussy Gallore "I found your bra on my bed ; I didn't touch it... I knew it was a booby trap !"-The audience was passionate, and had a genuine attachment to the LSO ; there were numerous Star Wars Celebration participants ; many of us asked for some Indy, but the encores were almost exclusively Star Wars... which was great anyway ! All in all, a truly wonderful event. I hope I can come back next year, to hear some Indiana Jones ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 By the way (it's the first time I'm going to London !), does anyone recommend any good movie music stores ?I hope you followed Greg1138's advice and checked out both HMV and Virgin, which is where I left an enormous amount of money in February 2005, when I went to London to JW film music concert. BTW, is anybody considering going to this concert? I'll try my best to go, gotta check those CD stores and come close to bankruptcy once again ...
