The Smiley Smile Message Board

Before I talk about this amazing event, the analogy I give this expierence is like if there was a band that you've been listening to for over 15 years (in this case, the LSO/John Williams SW scores) and it finally went on tour. I have no idea if anyone is a Star Wars fan here, but it was quite an event. The original trilogy soundtracks were my first cds I ever bought, so I've been listening to John Williams for quite a while and base film scores as the beginning of my musical education. So this tour started with the RPH with Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) as the narrator. I saw at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. It started out with the 20th Century Fox fanfare, which was great then went into the main title and showed clips on a huge screen for each song/theme. It was fantastic! Being in band in school, I was able to play some of these songs, which was great, but this was like nothing I've ever expierenced before. It was a nice surprise to hear the Cantina band tune as well. I advise anyone interested in Star Wars and its fantastic score to attend. If anyone's interested, I can post a setlist later.
