Not the full video of the premiere, nor of the performance, but it's got some of Williams.

Thanks. At least the footage is taken from the official webcast.

Its a hodge page of various themes and motifs. But I'll take it.

Not sure if this has been posted on the forums, but whatever - the more the merrier! :

Whoa... Horns missed an entrance, pretty messy tempo changes, etc... He must have been pretty angry after that. 

 

Overall, I think in this listening environment, he should have opted for a click instead of streamers and pops. While a lot of the LA Phil is used to streamers and pops, it's hard to control if you miss a tempo change like he did in the beginning. You can see how ahead/behind he is.

 

They're smart enough to figure it out, but he mirrors with his left hand a lot, which is hard to read from a player perspective if the group tears apart, which is why it takes 4-8 bars for them to get back together again. I suspect very little rehearsal time and absolutely zero time in that environment for sure. 

 

I think the arrangement is actually pretty good, but hard to do live with the sudden tempo changes. 

 

Oh well! Still love his composition skill and his stretched beats at the end of phrases in his recordings.

This performance lost him the Fantastic Beasts gig. Shame.

Wow, I've never heard any of HP3 performed live before. Even with the little hiccups and unusual arrangement, that was pretty cool.
