John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl

I made my first trip to the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, heading off with the gang to see John Williams’ annual performance of his movie masterpieces: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., etc.

He did other pieces as well, but lets be honest, everyone in the bowl is there for the movie music. Watching the number of people heading into the theatre with light sabers & “Jedi Academy” shirts, it was little surprise everyone went nuts when Star Wars started.

I captured a little snip of the crowd cheering. You can see the scattered light sabers in the crowd. If you’re really keen of sight, you can make out various clips from the movies playing on the screens next to the theatre.

    Holy Crap! The wife and I and several friends were there as well! We picnic’d in area 1 prior to the show, and were sitting up in seciton F2.

    The bit during the Imperial March when the guys wielding lightsabers started running down the stairs towards the stage was priceless!

    Nice! Before the show we were right by the pavilion & sat in section S — the drunk seats. Sorta fitting, as we were a little rowdy. :)
