Thanks." Can anyone else confirm this? I (like others on this board) thought this bit was new, but is it possible that it was in the original piece/recording, and the ESPN crew just cut it out for the video? Yes, it should be discussed earlier in this thread when it debuted and people noticed right away the bit in the preview video wasn't in the final video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawel P. 738 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Speeded up version to 1.25 normal speed for anyone who finds the pace too slow. I'm not sure if there will be such a version under this link, but you can also do it yourself on YouTube in the video settings. Of course, this is just for fun. I hope it'll be released in the right quality and at the right pace on the Maestro-prepared album with various fanfares, similar to American Journey / Call of The Champions CD.

(They played the vamp at the beginning of the game just before Georgia ran out onto the field. Look up the TCU v. Georgia championship game on YouTube if you want to hear it.)

As well as in Stepmom, there are also some football scenes in Story of a Woman, but I cannot remember if any of them are scored by Williams (pun intended). The main character played by James Farentino is a footballer and is shown scoring a goal intercut with what appears to be some genuine footage of a match between AS Roma and Juventus, I think. Perhaps our Johnny is looking at combining a concert trip to Berlin with the Euro 2024 final so that he can have it large. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Here we go! What a pleasant surprise -- I was not expecting ESPN to keep using this incredible theme (which might be my favorite piece JW has written in recent years). As others have noted, this version is not really any cleaner than the one that aired last year, but it's still awesome. ESPN also used at least one of the bumpers JW wrote on the broadcast (you can hear the first half-second or so of the bumper at the end of the clip above). UPDATE: Here is the portion of the bumper from tonight's broadcast, which was also used last year. Be warned: It's covered under loud dialogue. But it's fun and reminds me of JW's NBC News work: LB Makes Stuff and Bespin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
