    Very good concert! Very very well performed, good selections and a killer of a Bond suite. Barry put together the programme himself, but forgot to add The Buffalo Hunt! The suite of Dances with Wolves was about 15 minutes I think, it'd have been excellent with some more variation.

    As for what Bob says, it can be hard to distinguish the themes in some of his more romantic scores: they all sound alike you could say. If you're not familiar with it, I can agree. Still, it's all beautiful music.

    Chaplin, The Knack and Persuaders were surprising, and well received, choices!

    For the rest of my days I will never forget the concert Barry did at the Albert Hall in 1998 (or whenever it was - his first one for years and years). I was stunned that he didn't just do the long-lined romantic era stuff, but also The Persuaders, The Knack, The Ipcress File. Incredible night.

    I didn't meet Basil Poledouris, but I did meet Michael Winner who I would go on to meet (well, see) a further three times in the space of about a fortnight, in completely random places. It was absolutely bizarre.


    I get confused as well, I'm sure it was 98 and I saw and spoke to Michael Winner there, I'd like to hear an elaboration of where you saw him a further three times though? wink

    The next day I saw him when I was walking to the Cinema Store (he was going into the Ivy - surprise surprise!) then one week later I saw him in Bath city centre, then again I saw him getting into a car in London the following week. Sadly I haven't seen him since.

    What about Barry himself? Did he appear through a video greeting of some sort?
    I am extremely serious.

    Yes, he recorded a video message, and was saddened he wasn't able to come. He sounded very old, and his voice very low and slow. He didn't look that well I think.

    Well, his voice has always been low and slow, if that's a comfort.

    Yes, he does look a bit frail there.

    By the way, leaving my apartment now, so then we can see how many hours it takes for me to get to you! See ya.

    Yep , it was a very nice concert - enjoyed it a lot though it missed some *punch* in several places .
    Especially the Dances With Wolves Suite which was beautiful but too much of the same .
    Like Bregt said it needed some more variation .

    Another disappointment was the theme of The Persuaders , one of my favourite Barry themes btw .
    It also lacked some *punch* and the synth piano was waaay to quiet , you could hardly hear it !
    It has a key function in the theme but was totally lost here !

    The Zulu theme was awesome and Chaplin was stunningly beautiful .

    The grand finale with the James Bond Suite was just pure *Padaboom* , fabultastic !!

    Looking forward in watching it again on tv soon ...
    Dunno why they shot a 3D version of the concert though ?!
    It's the latest fashion I suppose ... everything's gotta be in 3D ...

    Here's the tracklist of the concert :

    Goldfinger
    On Her Majesty's Secret Service (We Have All The Time ...)
    Zulu
    Somewhere in Time
    Moviola
    The Persuaders
    Mary Queen of Scots
    Midnight Cowboy
    Dances With Wolves Suite


    Born Free
    Octopussy (All Time High)
    Out of Africa
    Body Heat
    Chaplin
    You Only Live Twice (Space march)
    The Knack
    The James Bond Suite

    Encore : The James Bond Theme

    lol

    I saw quite a few "celebs" that night, Skinner & Baddiel, Nick Moran ( I had a chat with him at the bar in the intermission ), Gloria Hunniford and even Ian McCulloch, lead singer of Echo and The Bunnymen. Apparently Robbie Williams and Jonathan Ross were also there that night but I didn't see them, as you can imagine, my life is now incomplete.

    You should recognize at least 3 of them, me on the back left, and Thomas and Bregt on the right.

    Then there's Mary-Lise on the far left, Tim (Timon I think), Eric and Mario (posts here about once a year).

    Ok, I'll set it tonight, but on the DVD-recorder, so we can copy it on disc, for those that want it.

    Yes, I would like to have the concert in DVD. It was wonderful. The theme of Mary Queen of Scotland was one of the most beautiful moments in the evening. It was very sweet!!! It´s one of my favorites scores of Mr. Barry. Bravo!!!!!
