It would probably be too much to hope for more Hook, Jane Eyre, Home Alone, Schindler's List etc, but I could do without all the usual marches and stuff at this point. Give me Window to the Past and The Banquet Scene in stead. Plus To the Oscars, Helena's Theme, and TROS grand suite. Would make sense from a record selling point of view to add further material. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien F 1,742 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I've seen JW in various European and American venues but there was something about the Berlin concert that seemed very special to him. He seemed genuinely privileged to conduct there and really enjoyed the city too. Not surprised he will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once 605 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The Berlin concerts have been my favourites of his concerts that I’ve attended, so I’m DEFINITELY going! My best friend (and fellow Williams-fanatic) turns 30 on the 5th, so it’s really a no-brainer! GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovygoth666 687 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 On the one hand the last time I saw my mum she said about going away for a family holiday, to which I said I wasn't interested as my primary goal was saving to get a mortgage and that only after I'd got one would I consider going abroad for a holiday. With her passing away my family have been on two trips abroad both of which I didn't go on because of my focus on saving and this pledge I'd made to my mum the last time I met her. I still haven't got a mortgage yet and so I'm completely torn as Williams hasn't shown any interest in returning to London, that this concert is possibly the last chance I could have to see him perform because honestly how much time does he have left? And so as much as I want to see him I find myself in this incredibly difficult position and hope that before tickets go on sale next year that a performance in London is announced that I can go to instead and that I don't have to break my word.

crumbs 14,349 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm sure your mum would want you to do whatever makes you happy. You'll spend decades paying off a mortgage.

I'll tell you: July 4th, 1998 (!). I know, I was there! I was there too! So weird to think that he had only written three Star Wars scores at that time and zero Harry Potter scores. And he performed quite a few pieces he rarely performs or hasn't performed in a long time. The Lost World, JFK Suite, Liberty Fanfare, Celebrate Discovery, The Reivers, The Cowboys Overture, Hell's Kitchen, Tuba Concerto, the spooky river piece from the Born on the 4th of July suite plus the main theme, and The Asteroid Field. And I think it's been a while since he's conducted The Witches of Eastwick.And the Far and Away Suite, it was a while before he performed that again. And no Superman or The Imperial March! While I loved the variety, those being my first and only to date concerts conducted by the man himself, I would have liked to have heard those! Williams sure has a lot of pieces to draw from should he wish to vary future concerts up more. And he's still yet to perform anything from the last Star Wars film. Guitarist Joe Satriani varies his setlists each tour and has something of a rule of thumb for the setlists - quite a lot from his most recent album, fan favorites from his career, and a few pieces he hasn't played live in ages or ever. His live albums - four or five - all feature quite a lot of variety except for about 4 or 5 fan favorites. He has quite a large back catalogue now, but well I don't think any living composer who does concerts has a larger body of work to draw upon than Williams.

While I still hope a performance in London is announced in the meantime, I might have to at least hope my family understand that one of these performances is something I have to attend.

Don't hesitate, you won't regret it! I am regularly flying in and out of Europe, living just an hour's drive from Vienna in Bratislava, and the main reason is John Williams concerts. They are worth every penny. I've attended 33 performances conducted by John so far, and each experience was unforgettable. If you've never been to Europe, John's concert is a perfect reason to make the trip. Trust me, the journey is as memorable as the music!

Take a close look and you will see missing rows and blocks which are probably those seats that will go on sale 23 Feb 2025. Odd though that subscription M is already "booked out". Perhaps the system is clogged up by old, rich and/or lazy Friday-night concert goers who "forgot" to cancel their previous subscription in time?

Thanks for that spot-on performance, Mr. Young, especially the nice additional intermission piece from Skull (didn't know about that) and the end credits rendition - more rousing in tempo and spirit than the original LSO film version, I felt.
