I hope it's OK if I post Mike Mattessino's recent Facebook post here, since there were no pertinent details about the illness other than to comfort us all a little bit -- which we need right now:

Unlike many of you on this forum, it will be my first time listening to the music of John Williams performed live in concert. As I begin my 6 hour journey to London, I feel slightly melancholic due to

There's still a lot to look forward to people. I'm more concerned about his health, to be honest.    Karol

That two chord back and forth is the same as the Michael Jackson penned "Centipede"! Revenge for "Heal the World"!

 

Are you really a JWfan?

Guys, I have to correct myself. There IS someone humming!! It was not together with the celli this time.

 

I know, I hear it till the beginning of the concert.

 

Don't think they will make a DVD out of this... with someone humming from the beginning till the end...

Maybe it's the radio animator that hums...

 

That's what I thought too… They would be stupid not to cut his microphone off when he stops speaking!

Wow, I never heard Dracula before! Sounds really good! I'll have to listen to it!

I even have goosebumps! That's rare for a piece that I hear for the first time!

Rogue cello!

I heard a bit of humming during Close Encounters, but not anything really noticeable since then.

Damn, that's such a slick revised ending.

 

 

Yes, there were also some other minor revisions in other points of the piece. In some parts there are only horns in the original, playing some chords, and here they were dubbed by tremolo strings. Also, another section was done "tremolo", while in the original it's normal playing (no tremolo). It was powerful!

Dracula is a fantastic score. Listen to tracks such as "To Scarborough" and "The Death of Dracula", which are available also on the OST... masterpieces.

I'm thinking this would've been better to end on, rather than SW again.

 

I may not be the biggest fan of E.T. in general, but the ending of this is epic.

Probably because they’ve got god knows what as an encore...
