lairdo 740 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Anyone know if the Boston Symphony from Tanglewood at WCRB will carry the concert? I know sometimes the live events are not broadcasted when the material is like this. For example, during the July 2019 Across the Stars concert, they played a different archive concert that evening. (I had planned to go, but it did not work out.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,359 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I believe we are getting a broadcast, just as we did ten years ago. Across the Stars had to do with the timing of the release of the album, the concert was later broadcast in 2020. thx99 and aescalle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, my wife and I who are listening on the stream are asking the same thing. And why is he neither playing any JW music or music even with a relation to him? (I guess JW did play piano on The King & I film, so that’s a tenuous connection and as JT said, he sang it in 1993.) I really think this section of the concert should have been much more Jazz influenced with an amazing Jazz singer. I love James Taylor, but it really does seem odd. The first part of the concert was great and really fun to hear. 44 minutes ago, Jay said: Guys, I bought my ticket day-of, literally just 5 hours before gates opened, and I'm like 5 rows from stage That’s wonderful!

RonBurbella 5 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 There was a VERY entertaining, split-second timed video of photographs to accompany the SUPERMAN encore. It started with early black and white photos of JW as a child and as a very young musician. Then it followed his career through the years, with many, many photos of his concerts, film scoring, and collaborations with various artists and celebrities. The photos came to a well-timed end with the last notes of SUPERMAN. Quite effective in showing that HE is our musical Superman.
