John Williams plays the "Indiana Jones" theme and "Imperial March" -- Harrison Ford appears!

[@MattTrask-hq9fj]

Steven Spielberg said it best. "Without John Williams, bikes don't fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe."

[@jonathanrios3214]

The fact that by the second note, everyone knew what it was, shows the power of that score.

[@LandonStevens]

I feel like the power of the score was also shown in the fact that just by playing it he made Indiana Jones appear

[@evanyoung9859]

Yeah John Williams movie themes are too memorable. 😂

[@jws1272]

I don't know about anyone else, but, as a lifelong Star Wars fan, I'm also a HUGE fan of the music of John Williams. The Raiders March is my 3rd fave JW theme. (Main Theme from Star Wars, and Superman, are numbers 1 & 2.)

Certainly, without Mr. Williams's music, Mr. Spielberg's and Mr. Lucas's careers wouldn't have made the same run. Long life and many good melodies, Mr. Williams!

John Williams....90 yrs old.....let that sink in....just a decade shy of a CENTURY on this earth! he is up there on that stage full of boyish exhuberance and charm and looks like a man who is just merely of standard retirement age......INCREDIBLE.....i only hope I can look and feel as good IF and when I reach that age!

Two absolutely timeless pieces of music....I was 12 years old in 1977 when Star Wars was released...and 16 when The Raiders of the Lost Ark hit the theaters....the memories listening to this amazing music will stay with me forever. Thank you Mr. Williams! And thank you Megan for posting this incredible video!!

[@katho8472]

Such an awesome sight to see John Williams giving so MANY cues to the orchestra (sections). He would have the "right" to simply give only general time and dynamics, but no, he cues tiny things in every performance. He couldn't be more down to earth and actually "helping" the musicians...

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

I was 17 when Raiders came out. I watched the early evening show on my way home from work and was stunned. The next night I saw it again and walked home humming this march. On the third evening I saw it again and when I walked home, I _was_ Indiana Jones.

Harrison's speech about John...............OMG........so much respect.........so much LOVE. Seek ye out his bit at John's AFI award show for the rest.

[@substitute91]

you know Harrison Ford loves his Indiana Jones. He gets all excited and tearful and melancholic everytime talking about Indy. Especially now & lately. Here u can notice he's a bit teary at first. Gosh , i love Indiana Jones too. I hope the 5th one is just as good.

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

They should have sent him after the Necronomicon and have him burning it at the end to stop the 'experts' at DARPA, The Pentagon and Porton down, the Nazis and Russians getting hold of it for 'research' (inother words figuring out how they can weaponise it) purposes as too dangerous.

[@rudycarlson8245]

Every Indiana Jones movie was excellent except the last one Kingdom of the Crystal skull. That one was weird! I mean what the hell is the point with the aliens? I thought taking place in the 1950s it would deal with the Korean War! Not aliens!

He is as much an important part of their film's success as any of his actors, if not much, much more. As you mentioned about the whiners, I agree, "Shut Up!"

Without a doubt John Williams is the greatest composer in the last 120 years. No offense to other composers of the 20th century, Holts, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Bernstein etc. But how many people who don't regularly listen to Classical music recognize William's work compared to those other composers? William's catalogue transcends classification in any one genre of music. Wish he could continue for another 50 years.

Holt influenced a lot of Johns work specifically Star Wars…but I still agree though with what you’ve said

There are geniuses and there are icons and then there are figures in history. Williams is the Mozart, Beethoven and Bach of our times. There is no composer, musician, arranger, or producer who is as highly decorated, as well-known, or as well-respected as John Williams in the 20th and 21st Centuries. None. NOT ONE. He has defined what it means to be INSTANTLY recognizable, relatable, and emotionally powerful in terms of orchestral music, CONSISTENTLY AND WITHOUT FAIL... for the last HALF CENTURY. There will not be another like him for decades, if not centuries.
