MrScratch 294 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I'm really pissed off. No PBS station in my area is showing Evening at Pops. I wouldn't mind so much missing it, except I really want to see Williams conduct 'Jane Eyre'. Could anyone tape it for me and mail me the tape??? Of course I will pay for the tape and shipping. You can email me directly at:maestrojw2002@yahoo.comThanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Here they´re airing the one called "Boston Pops Classics".I hate what they´ve been doing the past couple of years. I miss the Friday nights at 9, when everthing elso on TV is boring. "Remus" from Nemesis (Jerry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I think you should check your local station´s schedule, they often move the show at different time and date... here in San Diego it will be on next week. In the L.A. stations I think it´s going to be at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 This is weird. Tonight's actual show isn't going to be shown until Thursday, August 14, at 10 PM EST. That's nearly two weeks away. *shrug* Better than not seeing it at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Tonights show was weak. The Last Crusade section is great, the rest is mediocre. The worst part occurred when Nancy Wilson was singing a song by Williams, while he was playing piano. Right in the middle of the song, they cut to Nancy Wilson talking about the song, right while Williams is playing. What a dissapointment. If I was Elvis Presley I would have shot out my TV.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Tonight's show was good, though I would have liked to see him conduct more of his own music. The Last Crusade piece was excellent; I loved how he showed the scene with no music explaining how the music would go and then conducted it to near perfection. I had never seen him do anything like that in concert, only heard about it. The catch Me If You Can suite was very good as well, featuring more of the sax then was in the score itself, which I liked. The Float was the highlight I felt, seeing all the different instruments individually give the piece so much energy. After that, he brought out singer Nancy Wilson and played a few Jazz numbers. The standout was seeing him play the piano to one of the songs, since I have never seen him play piano before, at least an entire piece. Unsurprisingly, he did a marvelous job. The concert was overall very enjoyable, and I did manage to get it on tape - on the same tape that I recorded the Fourth of July concert. I have myself a John Williams in concert video tape in the works!Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Spoilers!! Nooo!!!j/kI hate when they do that... ever since Williams left the Pops and they changed sponsors they do too many of this "interviews" and they keep talking over the music, of course now when Williams is on Williams is music is featured, but sometimes incomplete and again, the talking over the music. I don´t like this. I wish they would tape a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, or Chicago and air it as a "Great Performances" special, or hat the New York concert is broadcasted as "Live from Lincoln Center".

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 No they did not broadcast the Jane Eyre selections, which REALLY irritated me, as they instead showed I think five songs with Nancy Wilson, whose voice I relly did not enjoy very much. I agree, though, that The Last Crusade portion was fascinating. Hearing him talk through the track without music and describe how the music would go (as if he had been talking to Spielberg about it), and then seeing the orchestra perform the music along with the visuals was very cool. And the CMIYC suite was nice too. I would have liked more Williams music of course, though I did really enjoy the selection from Herrmann's Citizen Kane.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have myself a John Williams in concert video tape in the works!Ha! I did the same thing. Like Ray, I also have the thunderstorm warnings running across the bottom of the screen though. I thought it was a good concert, but I too would have liked to have heard Jane Eyre and less Nancy Wilson. It was great to see the Last Crusade portion again and it was definitely my highlight.~Mari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Yes,all those classical pieces and fanfares that haven't been released on C.D. yet,Williams could very well use the Pops specials to provide his fans with a clean broadcast(no voice over)performance of some sort,especially if a c.d. is not planned anytime soon.but your right ,i don't care about recording a 1000000th version of The Flying Theme or the Star Wars Main Titles.K.M.

Guest Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I'm actually pretty anxious to hear CMIYC and possibly LC. It's not so bad when Johnny conducts rare stuff like non-Star Wars non-concert pieces. For instance, if he conducted "Learning the Ropes" or "Deadheading", that would be quite sweet (rather than "suite", like all the others). Even the rare concert pieces are decent enough. "The Float" or "Minority Report" would both be acceptable. A concert suite of Nixon would be nice. Angela's Ashes...I'm not sure about. It would have to include every minute of "Plenty of Fish and Chips in Heaven". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Wan 65 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I envy you that you have opportunity to watch John Williams' concert on TV. Unfortunatelly in your country we have no film music concerts and no TV stations bradcasting them So I would be very very grateful for every videorecording of any John Williams' film music concert on CD-R (AVI, MPEG, DAT or MOV) or PAL VHS!! If you can help me with that please let me know. My e-mail is: e-wan@cswu.czThank you so much.E-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Hester 0 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Boooooooooo!!!Here in the Los Angeles area the tv guide showed that the new JW concert would be airing tonight at 10:00. Sooo...I tune in, get the recorders set and what comes up? An older JW concert - the one with Harry Connick Jr. I'm still glad to see this one, but I was REALLY looking forward to the new one! It doesn't look like they're going to play the new one at all, I can't find a listing! Can you believe it? What gives!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?I'm recording it on VHS and digitally into a 24 bit Pro Tools session to make a CD.
