Star Wars Live Opening Crawl, NY Philharmonic

[@uncletaylorify]

I can remember seeing that crawl for the first time at a drive in in 1977.

[@frankney8284]

Same here. Followed by The Man With The Golden Gun (James Bond 007).

[@craigsimons817]

This is fantastic and I would have loved to have been there. Love it or hate it, the SW series is a part of movie history.

[@CompositesNG]

I did this with my girlfriend as a date - best date ever

So this got you laid?

The Best Main Theme for me and the beginning of it all, Episode IV, sounds so powerful, thanks for sharing the moment.

[@maxqproductions1]

Couldn't agree more!

[@firestriker3580]

Nah the phantom menace main theme is way better and it’s the best main theme. Episode I sounds way more powerful

[@jedsithor]

@@firestriker3580 The prequel version is more bombastic, which fits the tone of those movies which are about legendary heroes going to war. It's probably the "cleanest" version of the theme (and my personal favourite) though I do have a special place in my heart for the original. The sequel versions on the other hand were weirdly quiet.

[@mistysouders7823]

I.saw this In 1977!! At the end of the movie people about lost their minds

[@RealYawhny]

This was such an amazing experience, one of the greatest nights of my life so far!

[@corujao15]

I was there in the balcony under of yours. It was a magic night!

[@maxqproductions1]

Right on!

[@kevinwilkins7851]

What's funny is I was only 7 years old when I saw this movie and have always said that John Williams score is what I remembered the most. Just insanely magical!!!

[@maxqproductions1]

Yes! Fellow 1970 baby. 👍

[@izarnet374]

Uauuu...!!! Qué maravilla! Me ha emocionado ver a la orquesta interpretar en directo mientras se proyecta la película que más me gusta y que más veces he visto desde 1978. Ha tenido que ser una experiencia fantástica!!! Enhorabuena por la grabación y por compartir. Que la fuerza te acompañe...

[@kathyb1020]

did they show the whole movie

[@sissygamache]

They showed the whole original trilogy and Force Awakens (whole movies from start to finish) with the full orchestra

[@maxqproductions1]

Yes, the orchestra played the score through the whole movie. It was amazing.

[@ballofmetal2187]

Woes this the time when it was released

[@flatstheflounder2884]

No, this was just a number of years ago, not actual footage from 1977. I'm sure you may be able to find some bootleg 1977 footage somewhere if you look hard enough lol Edit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqu1p5iFfLKZotE The video I linked is audio from an original 1977 theater reaction that was edited over a more up to date recording of the movie so that it looks better but everything still happens at the same time as the original recording. TLDR: Recent video but with audio from the original 1977 theater reactions Edit 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKvSoYppetOMb7M This one is actual 1977 footage. Enjoy!

[@maxqproductions1]

2017 at Lincoln Center in NYC.

[@asherdossetter4480]

What's the name of the violin piece they play at the beginning before the conductor arrives?

[@markschildberg1667]

That’s the orchestra tuning up.

[@asherdossetter4480]

@@markschildberg1667 But what's the specific name of the tune up piece with the violins?

[@maxqproductions1]

@@asherdossetter4480 Good question. if someone has the answer to that it would be great deep trivia because they were just playing whatever they like to loosen up and get ready. I’m sure someone out there knows.

[@Spheterix]

It's the PlayStation 3 startup sound

[@victorbangle5050]

do you have the rest of the performance?

[@technowarriorstv]

Well they were getting hyped about Jedis return to flight STS226

[@TheZackBriggs]

Disney needs to hire the New York Philharmonic!

[@mikesmovingimages]

The session musicians in Hollywood are just as good, if not better.

[@TheZackBriggs]

@@mikesmovingimages Yeah but the audio mix of the Disney Star Wars movies pales in comparison to that of the LSO recordings of the OT and PT trilogies. The Disney Wars soundtracks lack the grand concert-hall esque acoustics of the LSO being recorded at. Abbey Road Studio. Night and day difference in terms of quality.

[@mikesmovingimages]

@@TheZackBriggs No reflection on the musicians, though. (Night and day difference between those movies in virtually every department.)
