What? She looks the same she always does? Unless you're referring to how the faces of people change over time because time moves in a linear fashion? Regardless, it seems weird to zero in on that unfounded accusation of vanity when there were far more egregious offenders on display at that event. Williams spent nearly the entire time wearing perhaps the worst disguised toupee I've ever seen and not a single person in attendance had the guts to call him out on it, presumably because they didn't want to embarrass him at a huge event held in his honor.

A few people on Twitter said it actually looked even better in person.

Nobody has mentioned Dear Baskettball yet. was it narration free?

It was performed LTP with the short film, so no.

And the end credits were not shown, so the end credit music was not performed.

Totally agree!!! It was absolutely stunning!! I think it was the Army Bugle Corps actually(?). 

 

So, my Dad (who still gets newspapers, bless him) saved me the review of this concert from the Washington Post.  It was the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets, per the article.

[thx99 1,740]

Yes, thanks for the correction, @MrScratch! They were incredible!!

[Will 2,215]

 

Some little bits of footage from the concert (plus new interview footage with Yo-Yo Ma and a recycled JW interview clip from 2014). Nice tribute.

Thank you all for posting these pics and reviews. We're traveling for next month's concert at Tanglewood. I know it won't be as fancy but it should still be excellent!

Hello there,

No news about a possible TV diffusion or DVD launch?

 

I will be sad to not see this show.

 

Thanks

[rpvee 805]

I doubt it was filmed for anything like that.

 

That said, I finally got around to uploading my video of Williams’ Imperial March encore.

Official video of The Imperial March was uploaded a few days ago!

i know, right?  I make cakes. Nothing professional, but it’s an occasional  hobby for me, so this is really fun for me to see. 

 

Really? I eat cakes!

I'm hoping I've now planted a seed in Andy's subconsciousness, and that he'll eventually forward a cake. Gluten free, please. 

[Andy 4,082]

Took me all day but it’s done and in the mail to @Jurassic Shark

Can we stop resurrecting old threads just for old random jokes? I thought maybe there was new footage from this concert or something.

It’s made of one part Google and another part Pinterest.  I wish I were that good!

I'm disappointed in you!

[Andy 4,082]

Not half as disappointed as I am in myself!  I did make a cake of my daughter’s favorite cat a year ago.  

 

 

 

But I have to respect those extreme cake bakers.  Have you seen the “hyperealistic cakes” of everyday foods or objects that look absolutely real but are cake?  This lady does incredible work.

Oh wow, you have redeemed yourself! But please tell me there's not a real cat inside...

Who would want to eat Bruce Willis’ head?

Can you imagine some weirdo Willis fanatic/serial killer saying, “Please make a Bruce Willis head from Die Hard cake.”

 

Hope no one will make a John Williams head cake.

Well, now I cannot imagine life without ever having a JW head cake.

Dude, great work! That's adorable. Are the whiskers edible??

[Andy 4,082]

Thank you!  No the whiskers were made of fishing line.  Every thing else was either cake, modeling chocolate , and rice cereal treats. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,028]

Nobody got the tail? Really?

[rpvee 805]

Seriously, stop spamming this thread.

The best thing about this cake is that you get to eat it nine times.
