The Lord of the Rings in Concert: The Prophecy+Concerning Hobbits live in Sacramento

[@smashbrolink]

Those flute and violin sections during the Shire made me tear up. They're just so incredibly beautiful...T_T

[@croatianwarmaster7872]

They always bring me the feels..

[@clairekehoe1865]

Irish tin Whistle x

[@Jaasau]

smashbrolink ME TOO! There is something deeply human woven into the fabric of that melody. It’s like the tune is reciting all the goodness that humans have ever done and will ever do. Pure innocence.

[@I.V.G]

They do indeed. I think the fact the flute is faster in the orchestra makes it feel a lot more lively and beautiful. :)

[@GORDSLINGER]

I've seen the film enough times where I can recall it vividly in my head. I didn't buy the ticket and travel 100 miles just to do something that I can do from my own house for free. I paid for the musical experience and it was more than worth it.

[@umyt1248]

Hi!! Are you in life?

[@allanwalli2935]

Im with ya! Traveled several hundred miles twice and a couple thousand once for these gigs. Thats the kind of Tolkien nut I am….thanks for posting this.🎉

[@ЮрийЮрьев-ю7е]

I absolutely confirm ... It was worth it!

[@TheZackBriggs]

You still alive?

[@jakearama]

Lol! I forgot this was an orchestra and when the camera moved I was like "YO MOVE IT BACK I'M TRYING TO WATCH!" 😂😂😂

[@aghazi94]

Same 😁😂

[@antfireblade]

I am a 35 yr old guy, with two young children. This video literally made me cry. How can human beings create such beautiful art, love the idea of life in the Shire, and yet be so far from nature and pollute the planet for future generations as we do?

[@tadstrange1465]

We've got to have monnneeeeyy.

[@sabatino1977]

We have an amazing ability to compartmentalize things in our brain as well as doing one thing while saying another.

[@plumeria66]

Because people who created this, namely JRR Tolkien, are rare.

[@flatstheflounder2884]

It's a shame. A lot of people really don't care about the wellbeing of the planet so long as they're getting their money and all. I'd gladly trade the lot of this stuff away for a life in The Shire, and I mean that 100%. It just seems like such an organic and peaceful lifestyle. No big factories polluting their air, they're not eating a bunch of processed crap, everything's home grown and the community really knows how to set aside their differences and come together for some good old fashioned celebration. I know the Hobbiton movie set still exists and can be visited (even the Green Dragon Inn), but none of the houses have interior, of course. That'd about the closest we're getting for now unless someone that owns a lot of land with rolling green hills decides to build a bunch of hobbit holes and open them up for renting and/or purchasing. A guy can dream though!

[@haelidh]

I've seen the first two movies like this! Tonight I'm going to see Return of the king in Rotterdam :-)

[@Javialone9]

Lucky you

[@umyt1248]

Hi!!

[@altpapier1827]

My dream

[@azizahkadir6135]

yay

[@C0H87]

The shot of Gandalf turning the corner up that hill Bilbo’s front door will never ever ever fail to give me chills. Just one of the most iconic and impressive shots in movie history.

[@ollieburtonuk]

Just saw the last Hobbit film today and openly cried during the credits, can't believe it's all come to an end... Howard Shore writes such beautiful music.

[@rooneyfan6292]

same here was disappointed they could off done so much better but did like the ending with Gandalf knocking at the door

[@kevape]

Ollie Burton the hobbit trilogy is dog shit. the sound track is not memorable what so ever, the only bits of music i remember are extracts taken from the lord of the rings. only good bit in the whole 9 hours of film are the bits with bilbo in and gollum in them.

[@iqbaalannaafi761]

rooneyfan6292 And then Bilbo yells "No, thank you! We do not want anymore visitors, well-wishers, and distant relations!"

[@ct-hv1uz]

+Ollie Burton I cried for a different reason. Mostly because Smaug is killed off instantly, then the rest of the entire movie is literally fighting and Thorin going crazy.

[@jessicarae199440]

+Iqbaal Annaafi And what about very old friends? :)

[@GGG3895-d3s]

It’s amazing how music can add sooooo much to a movie. LOTR and The hobbit wouldn’t be what it is without the amazing music 😩

[@bthboJsyhl]

It's so beautiful it makes me cry!

[@roloug95]

10:45 just makes my heart melt and my eyes fill with tears. One of the finest melodies ever written

[@albipe18]

The greatest movie ever + an Orchestra = heaven!

[@MischiefManaged1990]

I'm gonna see LOTR in concert in Belgium in december. I'm gonna cry so bad. The LOTR score always touches my soul... so beautiful!

[@mathieuvuongtu2054]

Hey im living in belgium can you tell me where are you going to see the concert plz?

[@BJ-wn7yy]

Mathieu Vuong tu Sportpaleis in Antwerp

[@cant_handle_deeznuts]

Hopefully there will be another one in Brussels..

[@pearlagcopra488]

The whole soundtrack of LOTR is perfection... I've watched the movies countless of time but its every music still gives me goosebumps!! I hope someday I will be able to hear this live 😭🙏

[@sarpedon702]

One of the absolute best scores of a film trilogy ever. Howard Shore hot a John Williams Grand slam with these films. The music just brings me to Middle Earth.

[@Sperluigi]

I was in the show as one of the boys choir singers. Thanks for posting!

[@ethanfate5439]

9:14 i just started tearing up, it has been a long time. god time flies.

[@jinnyvoom2903]

LOTR is my favorite movie of all time

[@Henriquebrasilrocha]

try the books

[@Jaasau]

Jinnyvoom No doubt.

[@alex-je8fd]

@@Henriquebrasilrocha There is nothing more powerful than images and words coming to life, books are great don't get me wrong but when this is done right its more effective. Ty Peter Jackson.

[@omegalpha777]

I'm sorry but how in the Hell Amazon will surpass this masterpiece of a Trilogy, the Locations, Soundtrack, Actors, Script, Direction, Photography, VFX, SoundFX etc. all was aligned, I really don't know how.

[@tou1se]

i hate that people clapped at certain times -- but other than that, this was the most beautiful awesome experience i've had in sooooooooo long. thank you so much howard shore for writing this incredible score. what a listen

[@Jaasau]

With LOTR, Howard Shore placed himself alongside the all-time greats in classical music history. LOTR is an immense achievement. A magnum opus. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear that Shire theme begin.

[@brandonwong89]

having played in an orchestra before for 4 years i would say kudos to these musicians indeed. intense rehearsals, lots of skill and dedication must have been put into it. what is most impressive is the impeccable timing that is required to match the scenes on the screen. synchronization at its paramount best, the conductor has to be really masterful as well!

[@Sun.Shine-]

That opening of lorien theme is perfection. I cried 👏👏👏

[@LordQueezle]

WOW Howard Shore did an awesome job composing the Lord of the Rings score

[@DannixX]

Why am i craying? :D This makes me so happy.

[@2dnov93]

omg this is so powerful. Jesus! I LOVE THIS! made me dropped tears over the excitement

[@gordoning76]

Wow. I really wish I'd seen/heard this.

[@felipemurakawa8544]

concerning of the hobbits and the rohan theme are my favorites

[@acmaiden5236]

No love for gondor? T_T

[@IsdudeMe]

@@acmaiden5236 Gondor, the fellowship theme, white shores, it’s all just so good

[@mustardeater3187]

@@acmaiden5236 the lighting of the beacons theme was awesome tho

[@HardBassManiac]

I watched LOTR like a hundrerd times and yet I love them so much

[@ldpickett28]

I saw all 3 of these movies with the live orchestra and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen live. When the choirs kicked in, it was awesome! Gave me chills!

[@camelcase9225]

The score for this trilogy is just unbelievable. Hearing it live really showcases how effective the melodies were to the scenes. I mean how happy do you feel hearing the Shire music?

[@LifeOdysseyMotivation]

oh my God! one of the best musical scores I ever heard in my entire life.

[@mylemanske]

I'm so happy that they're going to do this in Belgium too!

[@samman7324]

I love the ending of this scene. How iconic is that view of Gandalf arriving in front of Bag End.

[@ligariusHector]

AMAZING !!!

[@jarettgrondin2681]

this whole prolong is a million times better than the rings of power will ever be

[@iamcheck.thisout]

8:51 the best part I've been waiting for, never get old, brought me the the time when I was yonug 😭😌

[@Rirky]

Did anyone else get goosebumps when they heard the strings, when The Lord of the Rings title appeared at the start?

[@LifeOdysseyMotivation]

everyone get goozies

[@Jefferson_starkid]

I can't even begin to describe how I feel hearing this. It's just so powerful! I have been listening to it for ten years, and I still love it.

[@wellwhatsgoingonhere]

Oh man, I am so jealous and in love, simultaneously.

[@HpArtcraft]

I saw this in London 2 years ago. The Greatest show of my life. Amazing

[@chrispipe4488]

Que hermoso, casi lloro solo al recordar el momento en que fuí a ver la pelicula al cine, muchos sentimientos encontrados. me trae la musica y la pelicula, creo que fui bendecido al haber existido y darme el placer de cada pelicula que venia despues al año siguiente. gracias

[@laaber3444]

#1 rule of classical performance etiquette: don't clap during performance!

[@luizfcavalcanti]

The emotion of seeing the first images of Frodo and the beauty of the shire are overwhelming if you ask me. I wish I would be there on theaters to watch this movie, seeing for the first time Middle Earth realized.

[@rhodie9338]

Very true. I saw a show like this over the summer with The Two Towers. People would cheer for particularly good parts of the movie. The problem is, after a good line, the music typically builds. They were cheering over the best parts of the score.

[@WampaReacts]

StivenFilmsEverything I played Concert Band for 9 years and yes I can tell you it is annoying especially when you need to hear other parts of the band. But good these guys are pros so I don't really compare myself to them

[@Punki80]

I went to see this last night in Cologne (Germany) and fortunately people pulled themselves together and did not clap during the score, but it was hard. Yes, it is tempting, but it is terribly rude. Just like leaving during the end credits. Well, I missed my train and had to wait an hour for the next which came at midnight, but the end credits were worth it and also it is just very bad etiquette to leave while they are still playing! If you get the chance, go and see the show, and remember to bring a big handkerchief ;)!

[@kristinagolob9943]

Punki80 can you tell me, did they sinchronise the movie into german? hopefully not.. and are they performing extended version? :)

[@Jly132]

What a trooper of an army, the conductor. Whow.

[@icewither7247]

8:51 !!! The Shire !!

[@julianvdr8808]

I've gotten so used to the extended editions that I had no idea Bilbo's narration of the Shire wasn't in the original cut. The words "Concercing Hobbits" are never even said aloud despite the theme the orchestra is playing being called that.

[@Maria-em4rc]

The amount of skill and talent to pull off something like this.....Jesus Christ "goosebumps"

[@russelllapua4904]

The kids with fireworks and old lady laughing will never not make me smile from ear to ear.

[@hustzi]

so much nerdgasm tears in my eyes man very beauty wow

[@romandyk5579]

Finally I was there!!! On this concert... (in 14. Dec 2022 in Prague). And it was more heart touching and more intesne that I can possibly imagine!!!!!❤❤❤

[@GORDSLINGER]

Wow! Definitely was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of awesome feedback on my footage. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have had and the purpose of this video is my attempt at sharing it with everyone! I think I read somewhere in the comments that people wished I had filmed the screen more at certain parts. To you guys I just have to say I paid for the ticket and travelled 100 miles to see the musicians perform this score and that was my priority so sorry :)

[@BekircanSengezer]

Best conductor!! Ludwig Wicki!!!!

[@tmntj11]

If this ever comes to Australia, I'll be there!

[@cassandrasummers2423]

Does anyone else think it's strange how there were three rings for the elves, seven for the dwarf lords, nine for the race of men and one ring to rule them all while J. R. R. Tolkien died in the year of 1973? Just me?

+Adrina Sutcliffe coincidence?

[@lochnessrose]

Well...um...I hope it's a coincidence

[@cyrochaotic1027]

+Adrina Sutcliff The nine for the race of men, is The nine rings given to Nine kings, and slowly one by one they fell into darkness, they became the ringwraiths

But it's distracting to the orchestra. I do get what you're saying but I think claps should be left till the end of each piece
