John Williams World premiere of ET 20th anniversary

[@avocate2017]

A perfect union of music and movie magic.

[@buddy51]

One of the greatest movies of all time. Everyone involved in its making should be so proud.

[@jobikr]

Absolutely agree!

[@carloscanas4803]

One of the greatest movie of all time everything was perfect the acting the direction Spielberg is one of the greatest director of all time all his films are great he knew how to get the best from those kids that were unknown at that time especially henry thomas and drew Barrymore and the masterpiece of musical scored by the greatest of all time john williams

[@johnpadel]

No one but John Williams, he makes me happy and makes this world a better place to live.

[@bing78]

Damn you john Williams for making me cry at the end of e.t. Again! Lol

[@MINGIRL1979]

Steve, no worries man, I cry too. You're not alone in this! It's ok, it's a movie that's designed to tug at your heartstrings, so it's perfectly normal! It just shows you have a softer, emotional side! Many gals dig guys who are able to show their softer sides. There's no shame in it.

[@driftwoodms14ms]

"THE" Greatest musical composer of our age

[@JJBerthume]

Truly the best musical score ever written... No other music tugs my heart strings like it.

[@jslasher1]

That is your opinion. Others may not agree.

[@JJBerthume]

Indeed - I specifically said "my" heart strings. :) Nostalgia, listening circumstance, and personal relation to the characters in the film itself definitely plays a part!

[@davidolden971]

I'm not an other -- I'm ME. Therefor, I agree with 'him.

[@leveilleurnonsilencieux2681]

i'm right he's a genius ! this music touches the heart !

[@benelmer3042]

Same

[@robertbrighton9797]

Videos like this really make me heart broken that as John Williams is now about to break into his 90s it’s a potential this will be his last decade in the world and I just can’t imagine a music world without him

[@KCM25NJL]

Be sad not that we may not have him for long, but embrace the privilege that we had him at all. A true genius and cornerstone of so many childhood memories, mine included!

[@Plathismo]

His legacy is assured, and would have been even if he had retired decades ago.

[@stephenhuntsucker3766]

His passing will be a sad day, no doubt. But just think of the legacy he leaves behind!

[@Holtham01]

How I remember watching this as a child " now in my 40s it still puts a lump in my throat

[@deckofcards87]

It makes me bawl . More now as an adult !! No other movie does that

[@tomjonzie5394]

Taking in the score in its entirety, that is from the beginning of the film to its end, it is likely John Williams best.

[@osca31]

I feel the standing ovation and cheers at the end just isn’t enough for the mastery of this score.

[@NIKONGUY1960]

Approaching forty years now!!! This tale will live on till the end of time. Thank you to whoever is responsible for finding this and making it available.

[@zoltan902]

I'm so glad that live orchestras playing in sync to a full movie has become a pervasive trend in the concert schedules of symphony orchestras around the world. I don't know why it did start happening sooner.

[@WinrichNaujoks]

It's a very difficult thing to pull off.

[@MhLiMz]

All those who were fortunate enough to have been in that auditorium for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The orchestra even played the Universal Theme live.

[@andy-ty5ph]

ET will always be Steven Spielberg's best work of art!

[@noelabella3884]

I love this film very mch. one of my favourite.Everytime I watched this film I cried .so touching and moving film .

[@deepak6529]

The word legend manifested as john Williams...god bless him...the greatest composer God as created.

[@Charlesinfinite]

John Williams is one of the most interesting people on Earth. I could listen to him explain music all day.

[@JuanceMusicOK]

*MANY, MANY MANY THANKS!* *I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE.* *I WISH ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE WORLD HAVE THIS FILM IN THEIR HOMES. IT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL MOVIE AND BE WORTHY OF FAMILY AND CHILD CLASSIC OF ALL TIME.* *THANKS SO MAKE UP BY JOHN WILLIAMS FINE MUSICAL WORKS.* *THANK YOU HAVE DIRECTED BY STEVEN S. THIS MASTERPIECE.* *PS: EVERY TIME I SEE THIS MOVIE GET EXCITED, BECAUSE I MOVED TO MY CHILDHOOD. A WONDERFUL TIME IN MY LIFE.* _SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH ^^_ *_GREETINGS FROM CORDOBA (ARGENTINA)_*.

[@moow950]

SO much youth memories...I was the same age as Elliott. John Williams is a musical genius and Steven Spielberg a cinema genius. Together they created magic in so many movies.

[@daviddoran9552]

John Williams is sensational words can't describe this genius Love your work ♥

[@Pander1985]

To see this film live like this is well on my bucket list

[@stevenbush4344]

And here we are just celebrated 40 years. Wow how time flies......

[@Tinsby]

Oh to have been in that audience!

[@virgildantefrazier1]

Tinsby that was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I bawl everyone I watch this because John Williams is the greatest ever. When the day comes that we lose that man.....😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Tinsby]

I couldn't agree more

[@mydogskips2]

+Jeffrey Frazier Let's hope that's not for a long, long time yet. Knock on wood. ; )

[@virgildantefrazier1]

Folks what's really amazing here is that not only was this the 20th anniversary of the film, but we are coming up on the 20th anniversary of this 20th anniversary of the film. This is one of the finest timeless classics that should work for all of time.

[@SteveBrant55]

I'm watching this on or about the film's 40th anniversary, having recently seen Steven Spielberg help Drew Barrymore celebrate her 46th birthday. This 20th anniversary event must have been incredible!

[@captainrandomvideoclips8065]

Rest In Peace Allen Daviau, Carlo Rambaldi, and Melissa Mathison.

[@mezzodave]

I was there! I had no idea video existed of it. Amazing =)

[@emilyindri1836]

As a performer this video always gives me knots in my stomach. The most important thing people need to understand about this is that the movie has already been slavishly conformed to the music. That's how the movie worked in the first place. To then, 20 years later, spit it out backwards where the music has to be conformed to the movie with a whole new orchestra is even harder than anyone realizes. The fact that this whole thing even happened, and was done well, is a miracle in itself. This right here is why John Williams is one of my heroes. He has shown me that the impossible can not only be possible, but it can get even better,

[@pimmagrimm]

Watching in 2022 when the realisation that it's been another twenty years since this... Omg

[@planetkori]

I got to go to this. Definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life.

[@BebeLush2]

Stunning. Hope someday I can experience this.

[@MissGarland1986]

This is only the highlights and I'm already chopping onions! Lol.

[@stephenkamens587]

I have watched this Movie, "TNTC", times. I've witnessed it Live at the Hollywood Bowl, with John Williams at the L.A. Philormanic Orchastra. Never get's Old. We must ALL, have a little, "Peter Pan" in us somewhere.

[@biggi6161]

Thank You, Maesto!

[@draceyona]

There are no words to describe the magnificence of the score of this film

[@kpaxil4516]

I'm losing every ounce of emotion right now This is absolutely fantastic

[@TravisHalfman]

Oh, to be in the audience for this...

[@jandreidrn]

9:00 That's Jerry Goldsmith's Universal Fanfare seguing into Williams' ET Flying theme!

[@loganlashertheplaylistchan9673]

Dedication at it's finest.

[@KingDavidProd]

this is incredible. how have I never heard of this?

[@DarioS1000]

For me this ET film 20th anniversary celebration is news! Visual and musical geniuses united in a single and amzing event.! John Williams is the real ET and he blessed us all with his compositions.

[@andrewwiddel77]

Amazing. As good as it gets. Fantastic. Thank you so much,

[@moow950]

This film was /is my youth. I had the same age as Elliott (12), so it really got to me. Next year it will be 20 years after this 20th anniversary. So the film's 40th birthday!! Time goes so fast.

[@Raabulls]

I loved E. T. My favorite 80’s movie all time loved e.t. Wish they can make a part 2 a second film I was 6 I saw it n 1982

[@jswatch9270]

No thanks the xfinity commercial is a perfect sequel to e.t. the extra terrestrial we get.

[@bmbutler2]

All I can say is Wow!

[@MissGarland1986]

John Williams MUST BE PROTECTED ALL COSTS!

[@bambino100011]

John Williams is a genius when composing for film.

[@Bob44Igor]

Один из лучших композиторов 20 века. Без его музыки фильм не производит такого сильного впечатления.

[@MhLiMz]

Translation: One of the best composers of the 20th century. Without his music, the film does not make such a strong impression.

[@royalcatwalk]

Compliments from the Kingdom of Netherlands!

[@jamieinglis1043]

Film and Music magic at its best

[@alexwilson1878]

Tmw is the 38th anniversary of the movie, be ready to have tissues again, but this movie was incredible, thank you Steven Spielberg and the cast and crew, especially our favorite little alien himself

[@JKmusick]

Just incredible what people can do.

[@cinnn12]

that harp sounds so beautiful

[@JBarron2005]

I had just seen some familiar musicians... some of them performed music for Bear McCreary for his various projects. As for the video, wow... just great! Nothing like John Williams.

[@PunkLooees]

I'm crying. seriously.

[@Ivosferatus]

If John Williams dies, so will movie music.

[@JFL1988]

they need to do this with the theatrical version of E.T.

[@virgildantefrazier1]

JL leichter this was the theatrical version of E.T. They played the score live for the entire production.

Humblebrag from Spielberg 'I've been to the oscars here many times...'

this cut of the movie needs to be on the blue ray so we have both versions I'm alll for the original version but seriously give us the extended versions of E.T.

BVictor21 . He is only 2nd to Walt Disney in nominations for academy awards. Like over 50 or so. I know the man is phenomenal

[@k.hunter9287]

that was amazing.... 😂

[@tpsu129]

One of my favorite childhood films. I'll never forget how the entire theater started to cry because my brother cried so loud when ET left. It's a shame Spielberg had to ruin the 20th anniversary version with his politics and the unnecessary edits.

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

@twirl1. All I can say is you must know nothing about music. I am a professional musician & this soundtrack for many,many years was the best movie soundtrack I have ever heard. It made you cry,laugh,give you ecstasy,shudder in fear & gasp for air in shock. I don't know how you can call it corny but I will forgive your naivety. It would be interesting to hear your favourite movie soundtrack & get a insight to your musical critique!

Is that Itzhak Perlman at 4:51?

Sorry. but the score for JAWS is the best film music end of.

[@theyoungmoviegoer5915]

Roy Batty it’s very close but E.T still wins the game

[@jswatch9270]

Me, my favorite music score from John Williams is star wars episode lll revenge of the sith.

[@fwirl1]

Corniest movie score ever written. It completely takes me out of the movie. Every note and over-done fanfare, flourish, and rhythm just makes my eyes roll. I literally ROLL my eyes when I hear this score in the movie, and by extension here as well.
