aj_vader 534 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'm so happy for all of you that are going, but very dissapointed I won't be joining you. I was at the Albert Hall in 2018 (I don't think I've ever been that dissapointed before), was really hoping to make it to Berlin. However eternally greatful for the digital concert hall on Saturday, very excited for that. I pray John encores The Imperial March, please Mr.Williams! 🙏🏻 GlastoEls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 That's a good point regarding the date of the John Towner Touch album. That had slipped my mind. Always found is so appropriate that the first commercial recording of his own compositions was merely called "Hello". As in "Hello, here I am. I will be staying with you for decades to come".

Still hoping! It was still a very special night, i was wiping away tears regularly. The Snare sounded out of time though, it happened during the A New Hope and Empire Live to Pictures in there. I don't think the actual player was out of time, I think the reverberation was richocheting off something and causing it to sound out of time. It's why I wished it was in the Barbican.

liam0001 6 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Dear JW Fans, Hope you’re well. I was due to fly from the UK to attend the concert on Saturday 16th October 2021 but I have tested positive for Covid-19. I am absolutely devastated. Thus, I have one ticket for sale that is in an excellent position and will provide an outstanding experience. I am just looking for face-value and I can confirm that is is transferable. It is: E Links Row 2 Seat 4 I can organise payment through PayPal and because I have an electronic ticket, will email immediately. Please do get in touch if interested. Liam.

Popular Post Damien F 1,742 Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 Intermission time. The music sounds fantastic in this venue. John seems to be having a blast, often sharing smiles with the players during the performances. He's also his usual sharp self especially for a 89 year old. He was very eloquent when describing his experience of visiting Berlin for the first time. There are many standing ovations which is always heartwarming to see. I laughed when John said he never knows what Spielberg is doing next and "Indiana Jones is changing by the second!"
