I remember the same happening with the RAH performance in London. That was the music slowly takes over the film so that by the third act it takes center stage. Karol Indeed. It left me wondering how cool it would be to hear other, lesser-known scores by Williams performed live, such as Nixon, Images (imagine that!), A.I., or Minority Report 4 hours ago, Jay said: Fascinating, @Corellian2019! I wish I could have made the trek out to see this, but it just wasn't possible. I know I didn't see Mike Matessino either, so I assume he wasn't there 4 hours ago, Jay said: I'm confused about the air traffic controllers music you heard, it must have been re-purposed from some other cue? I'm not so sure, and admittedly, I heard that music just as I was struggling to find my (wrong) seat. From what I remember, the music fit @SyncMan's description of material that was similar but not identical to later passages in the film. But even if it was just tracked music, it seems weird that it would only be included in LTP concerts and not on home video. That's something that I have to check if it appears on the 40th anniversary Blu-ray SyncMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corellian2019 403 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I went back to my Blu-ray and can confirm that "Air Traffic Control" does not appear in any version of the film. One thing I forgot to mention is that in all previous versions of the film, the pitch fluctuates between the "Indian Chant" as heard in Dharmsala by the characters, and as played back in the conference room for Lacombe's presentation. Now, in the LTP version, the pitch is consistent between those two scenes. Too bad it wasn't fixed for the 4K release The Five Tones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corellian2019 403 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So after speaking w/ Mike tonight, I can confirm that the "Air Traffic Control" music is really just tracked from "Trucking". He said that he put it together after the concert's producers complained that the musical gap between "Lost Squadron" and "Trucking" was too long, and after showing the editorially created cue to JW, it was approved SyncMan and crumbs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyncMan 326 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So, the "Air Traffic Control" cue was an exclusive for the concert. Very interesting. Thank you for revealing that, @Corellian2019. Corellian2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dr. Rick 1,186 Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 I attended this Saturday night in Austin, TX at the Long Center. What a fantastic concert! This was my first time ever attending a live to projection event, and can promise it won't be my last. It wasn't a packed house but I'd say it was about 85-90% full so pretty good turnout considering the Austin Film Festival as well as other events going on downtown at the same time. I was able to get really good seats in the parterre for a pretty decent price and the sound was fantastic. My only complaints were that the screen seemed small for the venue and sometimes it was difficult to hear the dialog over some of the sound effects, like at the beginning in the Sonora desert with the lost naval squadron. Thankfully, they had captioning under the picture but it wasn't 100% accurate. Finally, some of the "older" patrons got up as soon as the movie was over and started walking out during the end credits, very annoying! I get it, the show didn't start until 8pm and didn't end until about 10:30 and it's past your bedtime, but can you wait 2-3 more minutes? We waited longer for the cars to empty out of the parking garage, jeez people relax, where's the fire? LOL Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with the orchestra's performance and will definitely be attending Raiders of the Lost Ark LTP here in Feb 2020, can't wait for that!
