rushgoober Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 If this was being performed within 20-30 miles of me (it's not), and if tickets were $10-$15 tops (they aren't), I would see it, but neither of those are the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 So you'll pay how much for three dudes with electric equipment? But only 10 -15 bucks for a full orchestra? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only 10 -15 bucks for a full orchestra? Hmm. I grew up going to concerts in the 80's and paid $10 - $15 for concerts tops. Paying more than that just seems ridiculous, and usually concerts are MUCH more than that, the cost of concerts going up exponentially higher than inflation has. It should be around $25, but it's far higher. Even around my town, seeing a no-name band in a little tiny club or at some tiny rented hall is $15. You've got to be kidding me. For me to pay $50 for crappy seats to see someone, I have to really want to see them, to DESPERATELY want to see them.

Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It played in Orlando a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to go but couldn't afford the 75 bucks a copy and still be able to buy tickets. A friend of mine went and said it was awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 A friend took his kids and they all loved it. Too much $ for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Glad to hear people are liking it. We got our tickets through a membership to PBS. They were getting some money from us anyway so why not get something for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I once saw John Williams conduct the Boston Esplanade Orchestra and perform lots of his soundtrack stuff, particularly Star Wars. (The show was called "A Tribute to Star Wars" or some such shit.) We were on the lawn, tix were only about $10, and it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw pretty much the same show @ Constitution Hall (or Constipation Hall as we called it) years ago when I was a kid and my Father and our family were stationed at Bolling AFB (Dad did 22 yrs regular Air Force and was a Singing Sergeant for 11 of them just outside of Washington, DC). This was a few years after Star Wars had been released. John Williams conducted but I can't remember the name of the orchestra. They projected scenes from Star Wars on a big screen behind the orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I've heard the SW concert is very much worth the money if you enjoy the music from the six films. Quite an experience according to the few friends of mine who have seen it. I've not had the opportunity just yet, but it comes highly recommended. I'm a huge fan of the music in all six films. I know the default is to praise the original trilogy in this department as well, but there were some stunning themes written for the prequels as well. So glad it's all represented live.

In terms of soundtracks, while the soundtracks to the prequels might not be as legendary as the original movies, that might just be me having a hard time separating the soundtracks from an inferior trilogy of movies to the originals.

Cowtothesky Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'd go if there were any dates near me. Would be awesome if John Williams was conducting, but he's far too busy for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Very Cool! Sounded Awesome. The most impressive thing was the display of john Williams' hand written score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
