Popular Post Tom 4,610 Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 I thought we might have a thread for the available JW Evening at Pops broadcasts. To start things off, here are two: JW's Inaugural Concert and a Tribute to Nat Cole. pete, SteveMc, Arnaud2 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 887 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It must have been hot conducting in that C3PO outfit! Was that Anthony Daniels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of recall reading or listening to somewhere that he couldn't actually see the orchestra but was trained how to kind of conduct. pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,420 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I bet the musicians loved being conducted by an actor who couldn't see and had been trained to "kind of" conduct lol. Miguel Andrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,610 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I like the slower tempo from the Sony recording better, but this version has a thrill all its own. Joni Wiljami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom 4,610 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 Just a reminder, all I am doing is posting these as I have found them on youtube. I know the following one has been posted previously. It seems too short to be complete, but it is a good one. Arnaud2, thx99 and pete 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,384 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I wish someone with more time and resources than I created a database containing the complete list of all Pops concerts with Williams' involvement -- pre-, during and post-leadership, and also including those that weren't aired as "Evening at Pops".

Popular Post Tom 4,610 Posted July 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 No Williams music in this one, but it is very good. Williams is especially upbeat and smiley during the jazz orchestral pieces during the last part.

Tom 4,610 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Not in its entirety, but here is John Denver. Fyi, when I was a kid, I though Bob Denver and John Denver were the same person. I was not very bright then nor now. Bryant Burnette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Wan 64 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Does anybody have the videorecording of this 1993 concert called A Salute to John Williams? http://www.jw-collection.de/films/jw_tribute.htm It seems that only salutes are available on YouTube: I hope the complete concert videorecording will be available someday in the best possible quality just like John Williams' inaugural Boston Pops 1980 concert Arnaud2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both on VHS and an ancient CD-R somewhere, acquired in the late 90s or early 2000s. I was convinced the whole thing was on Youtube, but apparently not.

I'm really interested in the videorecording. Is the quality of the video better than those clips on YouTube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
