I suppose the images they show sometimes make people laugh...(I dont know if I could help it if i was there) but It ruins some pieces.

Johnnyecks 33 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Awesome write up and pictures guys! I really, really, wish I would've been able to make it there (almost did, as Stefancos and LeBlanc know), but alas.. missed out. I am listening to the broadcast right now, and am loving it. What a fun concert it must of been! I hope I can get to a meet up sometime, and that Stefancos makes it back over again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 To be continued!!Yea.... so 3 1/2 weeks later, here I am finally continuing the story! Sorry for the delay. You can click the icon above to read Part 1. Part 2:So we headed inside Symphony Hall and found our seats. We were on the left side first balcony, which mean we got a pretty damn good view of the entire hall, including the entire stage. I took some pictures of the empty stage before it became filled with musicians:And here is a picture of the main hall, where Francis, Meghan, Regis, Josef, and many others were:Directly across from us was Stefan, who posed for us:And later I caught buried in his phone:Soon, John Williams took to the stage!And the program began! Now, sadly the program played did not match what was in the booklet:But we did get an additional paper showing us the new program:So basically, they dropped Theme from Accidental Tourist and Throne Room and Finale from Star Wars, but added Adventures of Mutt, the Imperial March, Yoda's Theme, and Star Wars Main Title.So without further ado, here are my recollections (as best as I have 4 weeks later) included:John Williams - The Cowboys (Overture)A score I am not too familiar with, but this overture got things going right away. Fun!John Williams - Far And Away (Selections [Country Galway, June 1892 / The Fighting Donnellys / Joseph and Shannon / Blowin' Off Steam (The Flight) / Finale])Oh my goodness, so much fun! The Irish instrumentation and upbeat nature of the music combined to get me tapping my toes and thinking "I need to listen to this CD more often!"John Williams - Lincoln (The People's House / Getting Out The Vote / With Malice Towards None)Wow - possibly the highlight of the night. These were not simply the OST versions of these pieces - in fact not even close. All three were re-arranged and lengthened considerably, especially Getting Out The Vote - that was turned from an almost silly source-music piece from the OST to a full blown full-orchestra romp that goes off in completely new directions from where the OST version basis starts. It was AWESOME! The People's House got new lengthy trumpet solos, and With Malice Towards None was extended as well. This was all just beautiful - I am so glad the whole show was played on the radio so we can enjoy these in great quality forever!John Williams - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (The Adventures of Mutt / Marion's Theme)Adventures of Mutt is a theme that has grown on me over the years - probably since 2009 when I first heard this piece played live, at my first John Williams concert (also at Symphony Hall). I think I've not managed to separate it from the annoying character in the film I didn't like to just the wonderful piece of music it is Marion's Theme was the new concert arrangement he first premiered in 2008 and it's just as lovely as always. Anyone who hasn't heard this arrangement owes it to themselves to track it down, it's one of my favorite Williams arrangements ever!John Williams - Hook (Flight To Neverland)Though I had heard this before performed live (John Williams and the Boston Pops in 2010), I had absolutely no problem hearing it again. It's my favorite film score, and this suite has always been a wonderful arrangement of some of it's themes. For this piece the screen was dropped down for the firs time, and a wonderful montage of flight sequences from various films throughout the history of Hollywood were shown on screen, pretty much in sync with the music. I actually though it was a really, really well done montage, it went perfectly with the music.After this there was an intermission. Here are some pictures I took from the first half of the concert:Williams talking to the audience:Trumpet solo during Lincoln:During intermission I found many other JWFanners, we talked about how great the Lincoln suite was, and about how the employees of the Hall were really cracking down on picture taking, telling people to put cameras away and such. I grabbed a Jack and Ginger from the bar, which was likely the major starting point in my later drunkeness (the bar tender ran out of ginger ale and said "Hope you don't mind mostly Jack!")Got back to my seat in time for the second half!Various (Arr. Williams) - A Tribute To The Film ComposerThis was a fantastic arrangement I don't believe I had heard before that was a lengthy medley of many famous film score pieces, including Williams own scores such as Jaws, Star Wars, ET, etc, but also many others such as Psycho, Titanic, and many others I now forget. This was all timed to a montage that ran on the screen, all perfectly timed, with several moments drawing laughter from the audience. Fun!John Williams - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (The Circus Train Chase)This was my personal highlight of the evening. Williams grabbed the microphone and talked about the process of scoring a film, specifically a Spielberg film, while showing the entire Circus Train Chase sequence from Indy 3 on the screen above him, which played with sound effects and dialogue, but no music. At certain points he would say how he would choose to score it, what elements of the scene he wanted to highlight, etc. It was fascinating listening to him talk about it. Then the video played again, and this time the Boston Pops played the score live to the projection. It was just INCREDIBLE - this sequence has always been among my favorite of all the Indiana Jones movies, and I never thought I'd get to hear it live. The arrangement included the Insert for when Indy falls into the Lion car IIRC, and as Indy runs away from the train and the film faded out, Williams added a fun little concert-y flourish to the end. Magnificent!!David Raksin - Laura (Theme)Not a score I'm familiar with at all, but this piece was quite lovely, and Julianne Lee's violin solos were very nice.John Williams - The Adventures of Tintin (The Duel)I had heard this before in last year's concert of course, but it's so much fun I have no complaints hearing it again! It was accompanied by a great montage of nothing but pirate films from all eras of Hollywood. Another unexpected moment like the Hook footage, but brilliant none the less. I loved it all!John Williams - Star Wars / The Empire Strikes Back (Imperial March, Yoda's March, Main Title)I don't know how many times I've heard these by now, but they are always fun! Nothing new here, of course.Here are some misc pictures from the concert:After the concert we all went outside to where we knew Williams would be coming out. I had sucessfully gotten his autograph here in 2010, and had failed every since (in 2011 and 2012, and of course earlier in the evening as I have already written about). I came VERY very close to getting another one this time, but alas the amount of autograph-hounds from NYC (who boasted about getting two autographs each, no less - SO annoying) prevented me from getting one. Here are some pics:And that's the entire story of the concert. Afterwards there was fun with Stefan and Francis in a bar, but alas I am out of time to tell the tale, and must head up to New Hampshire for the weekend. Thanks for reading!
