crocodile 8,020 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sadly no, we will not be vacationing to England this year, and therefore not attending the concerts Between Marcy injuring her foot on a mountain hike, us getting engaged, and beginning to look at wedding venues and shop for houses, it just doesn't make sense to do a 2 week vacation now that would drain our savings and delay both the house purchase and wedding, but also with her possibly needing surgery or at least PT, it wouldn't be a very enjoyable vacation for her if she can't be on her feet all day.So I'll have to sell the tickets I bought to both concerts somehow (I don't think I can return them to the theater for a full refund), and hopefully we can go to Europe in 2015 for our honeymoon.Oh, too bad. I hope she gets better soon. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 215 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Oh, nice news about the Philly Orchestra performance, maybe I'll be able to get a comp for that. I'll definitely be there either way! They're doing Gladiator live as well on July 18th, and West Side Story on the 30th. I was there for West Side Story live last time they did it, excellent performance.

crocodile 8,020 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Aside from the two films being performed later this month in Royal Albert Hall there's also a meeting with Giacchino himself. I'm definitely going. Thanks to fommes for heads up.Karol fommes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous though that the RAH doesn't do refunds (I remember reading when booking - I'm going to the Gladiator and first ST showings) - I mean plans and availability can change all the time, and surely it's better to be able to resell tickets than risk an entire audience not turning up.

However, there are often touts outside the RAH willing to purchase spare tickets for the most popular sold out concerts (I appreciate that this will be of no use to Jason on this occasion). I'm going to one of the Gladiator concerts too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,020 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 They're doing Gladiator in Krakow this year so I'll see that anyway.You're going to Star Trek performances, Omen II?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,235 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 You're going to Star Trek performances, Omen II?I'm not actually, Karol. I'm just not really into Star Trek at all and in fact have never heard the scores to either of the newer movies, but still it's great to see any film score being given this sort of live treatment and I am sure that anyone that goes to them will have a blast. Seeing Gladiator performed live just appealed to me more, I guess, and I'm also going to England v Peru that week so need to keep some money back for essentials like beer.

crocodile 8,020 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I actually want to see Gladiator live with music. The score is extremely repetitive in the film, but the perspective of witnessing how they perform it "raw", with no synth embellishments, is just really tempting. Bet it will sound better like this.Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness... well... In my opinion they are among the least interesting works from Michael Giacchino, with good bits here and there. Still, those type of concert tend to work regardless of what the score is. The fact you are seeing this part of filmmaking literally coming alive is almost orgasmic, in a sense that you're very aware of how the film is put together dramatically. Very interesting.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has posted the end credits from the Saturday performance of Gladiator on YouTube and it looks and sounds pretty good, but I have not linked it here in case doing so spoils it for anyone going this evening, tomorrow or on Wednesday.

In the meantime, Morricone, Giacchino, Desplat, Arnold (possibly Horner again, too) and others must do this year as a consolation prize.

The whole of Trekking Down the Narada was performed. The placement of Nero Sighted was different - it started as soon as the Enterprise dropped out of warp in to the debris field. Also, there was more of Narada Boom used, specifically the big Nero theme statement at 0:32. Other than those three instances though it seemed to be largely what was heard in the film, with a few minor tweaks here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antovolk 95 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm really looking forward to tonight, last night's crowd was fantastic and I wonder what or if they'll pull another after credit treat tonight...Ode to Vengeance maybe? Since it's the only cue that no-one has heard officially/performed live. Also my hunch is that either Alice Eve or Cumberbatch will do the intro tonight with Giacchino. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
