Who’s gonna be on his laptop at 10 am Friday buying tickets for himself and the wife? This guy!

 

Danny Elfman in November and now JW in February—not bad at all for California’s second major orchestra! Very exciting!

 

[Tom 5,410]

Hey John, can we finally spend a Valentine's Day together?  

Um, sure, do you mind traveling to SF and sitting with Anne?  

[BB-8 4,617]

It's a well-balanced program.

 

Encore guesses:

E.T. - Flying Theme

Imperial March

Probably Across the Stars as an encore as well.

Since I'm on the other side of the US and the program is identical to the Pittsburgh concert, I don't plan on going. I'm glad for anyone who's able to go.

Looked at tickets, and a front row seat is $250! That’s wild. More expensive than even the New York Philharmonic’s spring gala.

Roughly the same as a first category seat at any high profile concert at the Musikverein (sadly).

Hello all, I'm SF local and I tried hard, but could not get tickets.   Does anyone have info on 2nd sale or resale info?  Thank you very much in advance for your info.

Cheapest ticket on StubHub is $585 right now. Nosebleeder too.

Violin arrangement of Helena’s Theme!  Finished recording last Friday. Last thing they recorded he said. Wow. 

[backfromthedead 29]

Any other updates?

As in Indy 5 has now finished recording? Did they actually perform this new violin arrangement of Helena's Theme tonight, or he only mentioned it?

 

Fascinating news regardless. Could he include two versions of Helena's Theme on the OST, a violin arrangement and the concert arrangement?

I don't know if I understand correctly: This is the last thing they (ASM & JW) ever recorded, so there won't be any more new arrangements? Or it's just the last thing they recorded because it was last Friday?

[Alejandro 28]

I took it to mean the violin arrangement was the last piece recorded at Fridays final Indy 5 session. 
 

the Usher said there were cameras present for a documentary. 
 

Revised:

Violin arrangement of Helena’s Theme was performed tonight. Williams Finished recording Indy 5 (“felt like Indy 10”) last Friday. Last thing he recorded Friday was the violin solo version I think is what he said. The mic volume was quite low.

The man never stops. Crazy energy and motivation level.

So is Mutter actually going to be featured on the Indy 5 soundtrack, then??

I'm guessing/hoping it was recorded for an upcoming Across The Stars Vol. 2.

I love his wit (and willingness to subtly jab the industry).  

 

I wonder how much Mutter pestered Williams to be included on the soundtrack.

Probably confused it with the violin arrangement of Marion's Theme he recorded quite a while ago…

This just in: ASM has replaced PWB as Helena in the final cut.  Revised Super Bowl spot dropping ASAP.

She plays Indy's mutter.

An amazing few days with the one and only John Williams here in California and tonight in San Francisco.
The @sfsymphony played their hearts out and the audience was on cloud nine tonight.

Check out that V-neck on the studio lot! Williams has belatedly entered his Blue Period.

Wait a minute... this one is a slightly revised arrangement with a different ending (from 5:03), compared to the Across the Stars and Vienna recording.

its interesting these programs, he seems to re-play the same music from hal leonard over and over again. I wonder if its just easier (doubt it) or these are always his personal favorites or something. Throne room has ended almost all of his concerts in the last years

[WilliamsStarShip2282 326]

 

Stumbled across this on youtube, he changed the ending to it. I actually liked the revised version of Across the Stars, but this one, eh not so great.
