Raiders with Live Orchestra -Map room scene

[@TheAaronmcmahon11]

This song gives me an eargasm

[@johntaylor6345]

Just love Raiders of the lost ark. Its fantastic. The look on Indys face is a picture. He's about to discover where the ark actually is and it's exciting.

[@mikeyj.3605]

There is an almost super natural feel to this music. Like it's out of this world.

[@evie8078]

Because of the chords that are used.

[@evie8078]

This has to be one of the most unusual themes ever written by John Williams,I love how mysterious it sounds.....Love the orchestra and love the clapping and when the conductor turns haha.

[@CR055FIRE]

it's just a play on ancient egyptian themes

[@evie8078]

@@CR055FIRE explain about the ancient egyptian themes pls.

[@jemert96]

@@evie8078 I think he means 'mysterious' themes from 1950s epics, like something that Elmer Bernstein would produce

[@xColinMalarkeyx]

This theme for this scene is so iconic

[@TheSEAempire]

John williams is a true master, I could imagine this scene being very slow and kinda boring without the music. It truly shows how important music is to filmmaking

[@itsurboizman9230]

Best score from this movie

[@rogeliosanchez8883]

Agreed

[@dragonwarrior541]

Outstanding!!! John Williams should go down as the greatest in cinema music history!!!

[@skatintod]

I've never heard a piece of music that has me feeling like I literally am leaning off of an edge quite like this piece of music...

[@THOMMGB]

The orchestra did a really nice job. It's in sync with the movie just as it should be.

[@Mannizilla]

Sounds great, with choir it's even better.

[@ckeledjian]

Missing the women choirs, but this is the way to see all John Williams movies, with live orchestra please!

[@richardhedderly]

I’m also impressed with the brightness of the screen given it’s in a lit hall.

[@morgacl]

2:06-3:06 *goosebumps*

[@davedropd1]

This is GOLD!!

[@jedichocccake]

This scene was the sole reason I bought these tickets.

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

It's great. It would have been better if they'd added a slide whistle when Sallah rolled down the hill

[@jacknedry3925]

Nuh uh!

[@shimpi_ofc]

John Williams is GOD!!!!!

[@timeodaneosetdona]

Awww. Where’s the rest of it? Indy was just about to discover that Marian is still alive ;)

[@mowgli2071]

It's wonderful. It just needs a choir

[@jemert96]

Isn't there supposed to be a soprano somewhere at 2:24? Sounds incredible either way though

[@jedichocccake]

Funny enough it’s on tv right now and yes, there is a chorus in the film at that moment. This performance I attended was the Houston Symphony. It truly was amazing.

[@nel1962]

Beautiful performance but it does lack something without the choir written for this part.

[@OkOk-tt2dg]

Wow! I would love to watch the whole movie like this, where/when was this? So cool

[@jedichocccake]

This concert was in Texas.

[@kyllepoiencot4361]

What if the orchestra just pretended to play and had the audio from the clip play for them?

[@jedichocccake]

Lol!! It was a live performance. We got there early enough to hear them warm up. Funny comment tho. 🤣

[@jedichocccake]

It was also the entire movie score that was played.

[@kyllepoiencot4361]

​@@jedichocccake Thats pretty cool! I went to a Star Wars concert in my city and Anthony Daniels was there too! Wish I would have been able to talk to him though.

[@jedichocccake]

@@kyllepoiencot4361 Empire was performed a couple months after this one, but sold out fast! 💔

[@takeurpills6024]

Indianapolis

[@jef7222]

Indianapolis? Oh, I hate Indianapolis. Only place I hate more than Indianapolis? Chicago.

[@jedichocccake]

@@jef7222 This concert was in Texas.

[@mftepera]

@@jedichocccake My goodness. That's where I am and I missed it. What city / music hall? I would've paid good money to see this.

[@jedichocccake]

@@mftepera This was at The Woodlands. Tickets are now on sale for Star Wars: A New Hope at The Hobby Center in Houston performing July 28th and 29th.

@@jedichocccake thats only an hour from my house. Thanks for the heads up…that’s my favorite Star Wars flick.
