karelm 2,903 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I can't but admire and marvel the man. He is 81 and still going strong. I guess this is his way of connecting with the fans since he isn't the social media (or computer) kind of guy. I believe these concerts are not a "farewell" tour but rather a gift to the orchestra since these concerts are typically at reduced rates or donated time from the maestro but will sell out. I understand there is a long series of concerts planned for this purpose. Baltimore symphony concert two weeks ago was an example. I'm playing with them now and they were all blown away by JW. I'll right up some of the comments I heard when I return but they are in total awe of the experience. Joni Wiljami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed!!!!!I had the EXACT same thing happen to me. Took about 10 minutes for the site to recover. I ended up getting seats just 4 rows back from what I initially had, but more to the aisle side of center. Frustrating. But still, I cannot wait!!!

TownerFan 4,983 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He premiered also "The Imperial March" and "Yoda's Theme" in one of his very first Pops concerts in 1980, a few days before the film was released.However, it's not up to JW to perform a piece from a not-yet-released film. Permission must be accorded with the movie studio and production company, as they have publishing/performing rights on the music. Considering how sensible they became in recent years to give out much details from upcoming films, I guess it's quite unlikely JW will perform anything from The Book Thief before the film and soundtrack album are released.

Smeltington 1,436 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Very similar setlist to the Atlanta concert I attended last year (which also had Spielberg present for the second half). Also, at that concert I had hoped he'd premiere something from Lincoln, but no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieC 13 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I remember hearing Summon the Heroes live, before it was available on cd , when I went to see JW conduct in London in the summer of 1996. The cd release 'Summon the Heroes' tied in with the concert performance to some degree as I recall buying the cd that night after the show. It was then a few weeks later that I recall seeing JW conduct the theme live at the opening ceremony of Atlanta Games. Happy memories. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
