Thank you for this upload. My husband and I were at this concert when he was stationed in Boston. Wonderful memories!!

Thanks for the upload. As the caption at 20:05 shows, this concert was actually on July 5, 1986. The world premiere of "Liberty Fanfare" was on June 5 at Boston's Symphony Hall. Williams conducted it again on July 4 at the Statue of Liberty, and then the next day in Boston on the Esplanade.

I know this says and July 5. But we started watching the pops when my dad was stationed on Hanscom in the late 80’s. My middle school yrs. I miss this tradition, but am glad they usually post the concerts now the day after hers on KZbin. Is it not televised nationally anymore? I remember as I said when this was the show to watch on the 4th and now it seems to be the capitol 4th and New York.

This was on the 5th because they played on the 4th in NCY for the statue of liberty 100 year anniversary. now Bloomberg sponsors the pops on the 4th and you can watch on the Bloomberg channel
