The audience laughter makes this perfect

[@JFrombaugh]

The little kid laughing at the cartoon was cute.

[@Ericland_Entertainment_Inc]

Still funny after all these years

[@davidrule385]

0:49 The in-audience applauding Bugs. 0:53 The real audience laughing at Bugs silencing the applauding in-audience.

[@MusicHavenSG]

And know what? Someone should do a Audio Music remaster of this particular episode!

[@GeoSF0926]

This is an audio remaster. It's the Los Angeles Philharmonic playing it live.

[@JoshFreilich]

@@GeoSF0926 I think they remastered half of it, tho! It would be cool if they remastered the whole thing!

[@Spikero2]

I remember checking this out. I think I was there same time as this recording, if not the day after.

1:31: “Package for Bugs Bunny”

[@undergroundtv275]

really awesome!

[@benjaminrogers2073]

0:49-2:11 Bugs, after accepting brief applause (which is instantly stopped when he raises his hand), cracks his knuckles, winds up his fists and, after scowling angrily at a nervous Giovanni, ready to deliver the finisher for his revenge against the singer, conducts Giovanni into holding a singular high G note until Giovanni can hardly endure the strain. Giovanni's face turns various colors from red to purple to blue to green as he squirms and tuxedo unravels under the pressure; his bow tie untied, collar detaches, vestee bursts off, dickey rolls into face, suspenders give, and slacks fall around ankles. Bugs leaves his glove hovering in the air and steps off of the stage to order a pair of earmuffs, which are delivered almost instantly to Bugs after he places the order into the mailbox. Bugs takes the earmuffs out of the package, puts them on, and then returns to the stage where Giovanni has obeyed the glove and is still holding the high note, now on the floor from the strain. Bugs puts his hand back in his glove to continue conducting Giovanni to hold the note himself, as the strain of holding the note causes Giovanni in what's left of his torn apart tuxedo and flowered boxer shorts to start thrashing about on the floor banging his fists, his face continuing to turn various colors from blue to green to white to purple to gray to yellow to red to green. Finally, the top of the concert hall's shell shatters and tumbles down on top of Giovanni. As the audience applauds Bugs, who removes the earmuffs and bows to them, a roughed-up Giovanni (whose hair is now reddish) appears out of the rubble to take a couple of bows himself in shreds that were once a tuxedo. His face is beaten in and bruised purple and blue. Noticing one last piece of the amphitheater balanced on a steel beam above Giovanni, Bugs cues the singer to close out his performance with an encore of the high note. This causes the piece to fall and crush him offscreen.

I'm curious. Did they have a live singer for this one or did they stick with the original voice? This being at the Hollywood Bowl is so meta!

[@AlfredHawthornBennyHill]

All the voice recordings are the originals.

[@paprikadevil6405]

@@AlfredHawthornBennyHill fair enough, tho it would be incredibly impressive if they had someone actually hold that long of a note

[@AlfredHawthornBennyHill]

@@paprikadevil6405 The opera singer was voiced by Nicolai Shutorov who was an actual opera singer. Opera singers are known for being able to hold notes that long.

[@paprikadevil6405]

@@AlfredHawthornBennyHill oh yeah, well I guess something that incredible does exist 😄

[@paulspivey6799]

@@AlfredHawthornBennyHill It's sad that he didn't get to see that short, he died several months before the short made its debut to theaters.

Why can't people upload videos of this concert?! D:

[@EyezOnJim68]

If I may redirect - "peoples" uploads are readily available, though I would agree not with this vantage point ..or clever editing. 😉

[@BryantandSMTC]

That Was Cool, But Funny!

[@marrylhynn6405]

It's Giovanni Jones and Bugs Bunny

[@guilhermerodrigues6489]

Is it just my impression, or the first chords of this song, in the case the first segment, was used as a chord base in the theme of the episodes "Hair Raising Hare" and "The Hare Brained Hypnotist"? If they are repaired, it's almost the same thing, but in the intro of the two episodes, these chords have a more "Scary" lead...

[@EdwardAntone-bo1qc]

Bugs Bunny Can Play The Banjo 🐰🐇🐇🐰🪕🪕🪕🪕

[@samschmit7181]

Too bad I couldn't be there.

[@MusicHavenSG]

Chord at 0:30 should be a C 2nd Inversion though. And lead in G7 Chord before the minute mark should have the D to the F before leading to the tonic chord. But still good idea!

[@eG7kLPU38Tz8cL]

I was about to say the same thing...

[@VictorPrata]

LOL

[@GeoSF0926]

We were playing from the original score, as written by Carl Stalling.

[@insanevictor]

I was soooo excited for this performance in 2020…. But then something happened that they cancelled
