    A new family favorite

    by .44cove on 1/28/24

    I have two teenage boys who love movie music (go figure). First ever trip to the Hollywood Bowl and we couldn’t have picked a better night. The Maestro had us humming and cheering all night. Can’t wait for his next appearance.

    As Always...A Wonderful Show!

    by Nathreen on 9/16/16Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    My husband and I have seen Mr. John Williams 4 or 5 times now, and each time have thoroughly enjoyed his music and the way he presents it. This year, he had a guest conductor for the first hour, but after the break, he came out and wowed me, once again, with so many memories and nostalgia from watching the films he has guided us through with his music. I plan on seeing him as long as he keeps performing!

    Unforgettable!!

    by Ceefer on 9/12/16Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Absolutely incredible! John Williams is second to none. Dave Newman started the show with some wonderful pieces, but everything was brought to another level with John. Everything was perfect. My only complaint(if it could be called that) was that he didn't play "Duel of the Fates" from Episode I. My life would have been complete then :)

    Lovely evening

    by ilovethelakes on 9/12/16Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    We really enjoyed the John Williams concert. This was our first time to the Hollywood Bowl and using the shuttle from the LA Zoo was a great way to get there. What a great venue for a performance, on a perfect night with marvelous music from one of the greatest composers of movie scores of all time. We hope to do this again!

    A amazing night of Soundtrack music! And Star Wars

    by BTGaughan on 9/8/16Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Saturday's concert was amazing. The first half was basically a tribute to Paramount Pictures. David Newman, conducting, and giving a master class of music composers and their scores. He presented Alan Silvestri's (Forest Gump), Franz Waxman's (Sunset Boulevard), Bernard Herrmann (North by Northwest), and Michael Giacchino (Star Trek Into Darkness) followed by a encore of Lalo Schifrin's theme from Mission Impossible, which brought down the house. Then it was John Williams turn. If Newman was the history lesson, then John Williams was the elective. The 84 year old John Williams provided the second half of the evening. Where Newman's half the concert was a little over an hour, Williams played for more than an hour and a half. Rock and roll cheers greeted everyone's grandfather as he slowly walked across the stage to the podium and right away went into a rendition of his soundtrack for Hook. Afterwards, without a pause he went directly into his soundtrack for the Spielberg Summer movie The BFG. It was a bit ironic that he would start the concert with two of Steven Spielberg's rare flops. And then, what everyone was waiting for... Williams introduced Star Wars: The Force Awakens, announcing that he had been asked to work on Star Wars VIII, and that he accepted because he didn't want anyone else to write music for the character of Rey, played by Daisy Ridley. After SWTFA (which was accompanied by film clips), Williams then proceeded to play various pieces from various Star Wars movies. The audience replied with cheers and lightsaber salutes. After a healthy selection of Star Wars music, Williams left the stage. The audience was satisfied, but more was yet to come. Coming back onto the stage, he commented on how he was at "the opening of the Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, and me and the orchestra played this piece." He proceeded to take the Hollywood Bowl to Hogwarts and the World of Harry Potter. That was Encore number one, Encore number two was a blast from the past, the first real comic book movie 1978's Superman. This one was especially exciting to me since I wore my Superman t-shirt, hoping to influence the universe to play this. But Williams wasn't done yet, after walking off the stage, pausing for a bit, and walking back on the stage, Williams played the themes from ET. Afterwards, the audience rose to its feet hoping for more but that was enough for Mr. John Williams who feigned that he had to go to sleep and finally left the stage. I don't know how many more appearances Mr. Williams has left in him, but when he comes back next year to the Hollywood Bowl, don't miss it.

    Unforgetable John Williams

    by 2HBJohnWilliamsFans on 9/8/16Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    The music of John Williams is a delight. To see the man himself is a privilege. The sight of 5000 Light Sabers waving at the Hollywood Bowl is unforgettable.
