This is a great interview, but it is not recent, as you say. It looks to be around the time when JW was the Principle Conductor of the Boston Pops. Take a look at those glasses, for proof. And Gene Shalit, my goodness.

The file says 1997. I'm sure Miguel will be able to pin it down to the exact date, day, and time.

[Joe Brausam 203]

Nice interview, thanks!

[Lurker 5]

Look! Guns in ET!

dont let Bryant see them, bucause walkie talkies make more sense.

imagine how different the music would have been if they had used walkie talkies to begin with

btw Neil in the alterations did they remove Dee Wallace's line "no guns, no guns, there children."?

Gene Shalit was on the Evening at Pops episode entitled "The Hollywood Sound" around the time of the CD release of the same name. Could it be that?

[MissPadmé 17]

Huh? What recording of "the boulder chase" is this... not familiar with it? It's not the Original Soundtrack Recording....

That's what it is. I just put it onto DVD.

Is that where the concert was really from? I thought I recognized it from the episode in 1993 celebrating John Williams' retirement where he did montage of film clips which included all of those presented in this interview.

Miguel...is no longer here.

[Morlock 9]

Hmmm....I wonder why that is?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251]

Geez did he not make it clear in his post finale?

[Ollie 859]

Oh he's still logging on and reading posts.

[indy4 152]

He sent me a PM earlier today regarding one of my threads.

Thanks Miguel!

[John Crichton 4]

Well if we're going to make it all public I guess I'll mention that he was kind enough to drop me a note after my post earlier in the thread.

Positive.

Having read all the replies first, I went into this interview thinking Gene was a good-lookin' guy.

You can imagine the laughs that followed afterwards.
