John Williams - Theme from Star Wars

[masterjedigaurdian]

I only disliked it because of bad quality. john williams is boss

[Rorindahouse]

bro soon as the music came on it put me straight into the movie lol

[ed2135az]

Just a Horrible Video!!!!! Great Music, however.

[kokorcsin]

amazing music, crappy quality

[1989iw]

10 people went to the dark side. 309 people travelled with the music

[ChappatinoAlamainFan]

I remember seeing the original in theatres when it was released back in 1977. Granted I was only 3 but talk about memories and for the late 70s the effects were beyond incredible!

[rodahnlol]

Every so often God gets a unique tune stuck in his head, so he takes the form of a Human named John Williams, descends to Earth, and shares it with everyone.

[rodahnlol]

The Force is not with 10 people.

[gtamanicfan]

1o droids and siths hated this video

[jedsithor]

That first note man, it's that first note that brings me back every single time.

[jeffdon4]

@jedsithor Brings back the good old days eh?

I remember when this movie came out, i was like 2 but it was the first movie i ever saw....

[krazykris666]

awwwww man i wish he would come to uk =[

[DuffanyHero]

ten dislikes HAD to be for the video quality.

[greenTleaf]

@DuffanyHero Haha, seriously. But it's all about the music!!

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

Fuck yeah! I love it when I hear the audience get pumped up, makes it more exciting

[deb90566]

How many film scores has Mr. Williams done that when you hear the first few notes you know INSTANTLY what film it is? He is a pop culture phenomenon and one of the greatest compsers of the 20th AND 21st centuries.

[JessOnTheRun]

my god, listen to the crowd go ape.... think this music, film and phenomenon had some influence over latter 20th century culture?

[buritzu]

adopt me mr williams T_T ... plz !!

[michlerinator]

Didnt know he is the KFC guy.....

[ChiefAdministrator]

@michlerinator hahaha....

[particleproductions1]

haha

[grandpadewey]

I would've given my left nut to be at this concert. I literally grew up with this movie and this soundtrack.

[Spyflugan91]

his superman theme is best :P

[SG1Mitchell]

Jurassic Park

[therealrisingson]

Nobody.

[cybertron39]

noone can copy john williams

nobody

[BengalsNation09]

John Williams is a genius, no one else even comes close to what he has done or what he can do.

[xephyr417]

@BengalsNation09 he is truly to be classified among the greats. in 2200 people will say mozart beethoven sibelius bach and williams.

[RJMSCA]

John W. is sooo good my two year appreciates his music.

Her fav Superman

[MrDeerecub1977]

kfc

[jmalpartidaj]

John Willians, maestro, un genio musical aún de nuestra época.

[blueheart26]

I absolutely love the dynamic changes in this piece! it's incredibly well put together... and listen to the piccolo (specially in the beginning) and the flutes so freaking sweet!!! ... yes, i am a flute/piccolo player....

[Rachet88]

HAHAHAAH! You're actually asking people not to cheer and applaud at a live performance? Are you serious?

[Mamasan41]

You want to play in the Los Angeles Philharmonic?

Keep practicing!! It could happen!

[chris8worms]

you people need to nto scream in the videos i happen to appreciate these songs so if you please

[greenTleaf]

how can you not cheer?

it was an encore performance.

it's star wars.

it's john williams.

if you don't want to hear people cheer, then you should just watch or listen to studio recordings rather than live performances.

[11eargyle]

@greenTleaf its hard to belive you can get this kind of sound outside it just goes to show you how much work they put into this

[samuelzparkerz]

@greenTleaf lol, chris8worms is a giant stinky douche!

[Force170]

@chris8worms

And they do too, but seeing John Williams in concert is like seeing Metallica or Van Halen, you just have to cheer when you hear a popular song.

[JessOnTheRun]

not only one of the best, most recognizable motion picture themes of all time, but represents an incredible turning point in cinema and WORLD culture forever... no wonder the people cheer so uncharacteristically for what is considered a traditional symphonic setting... go on and cheer... its absolutely deserving!

[Maluzhao]

WOOOW no imagino tantas peliculas sin su musica es un genio :D

[secret1service]

how long was the whole concert?

[greenTleaf]

it was about 2 hours

[11eargyle]

@greenTleaf wish i could of gone where was it at?

[greenTleaf]

@11eargyle hollywood bowl!

[zappinger]

WOW! WOH! chills me out! thats enought to describe what I feel... John Williams... wordless!

[pacoruiz26]

Superb Masterpiece!.....John Wiliams is a Genious

[edlitz36]

Damn, movie magic sure is dead. I feel SOOOO lucky to have grown up with John Williams and movies like Jaws, the Rocky series, the Star Wars trilogy, the Indiana Jones trilogy, E.T., Back to the Future, Superman, Close Encounters, and Batman. What does today's generation get? Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers?? Man, that sucks!!

[luckyx777]

At least we still have Pixar. :(

[luckyx777]

I liked The Incredibles and Up.

[uutooyu]

etc.etc.etc.

[dragonyeuw]

Preach it man. Movies nowadays SUCK compared to the legends you just called off.

[ricisrock]

ballads normally make me cry, BUT THIS IS MY SONG SINCE '77 MAN. THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT!

[FredRemusSirius]

GO JOHN!!!!

[scottieman2]

He knows what to play. Everyone knows this and Indy's theme.

[curtithird]

ha ha it was a snowman at the beginning.

[DSquaredDude]

I love it whenever the song begins, and the crowd just roars, cause they know it's so good.

[Pennyforth]

After Phantom Menace failed to impress, this was really the only reason I went to see the other prequels....to relive my youth by sitting in a movie theater and hear that music while watching the opening crawl on a big screen one more time.

[shenloken2]

Star Wars Theme - You know it, you love it!! ^_^

[neyo509]

I felt like jumping out of my chair!!! It so full of energy!!!

[Hawkeyefan91]

Who knew Col. Sanders could conduct so well in this song.

[chaelab12]

JOHN WILLIAMS IS THE MAN!!!!!

[luck1233]

john williams is the man is from the indiana jones song...haha(last music of it"da da da da" which is john williams is the man respectively)i dont know if you get what i said=-=bad bad english

[Wrighter20]

how cool !

[SIRMaleMan]

I remember going to the theater in' 96 and seeing the special edition of all these movies. Made me a fan. The newer ones kinda suck though.....

[rockisheaven]

John Williams is THE MAN. One of the greatest movie themes of all time--I feel so awestruck every time I hear this.

[turtleshell56]

=Love. xD

[guidenredhawk]

If you think about it real closely, see how the low bass notes of the song could be compared to a bass guitar. the higher notes could be replaced with lead, rhythm guitars and also keyboards/moogs/synthesizers. its awesome, and i bet some bands are going to try it.

[ptim1786]

mine is thnx too u =)

[guidenredhawk]

u should post on youtube

[ptim1786]

ofcourse wen we get done

[browehm]

Even though i will never openly admit this, this brings me chills every time i hear it.

[guidenredhawk]

don't be ashamed or afraid to express yourself. others will see You and be better for it. Namaste.

[Directorboy91]

It bring's tears to my eyes.

[finalfantasysixisbes]

Oh my god, you whinning little- way to get angry over nothing. I live in winnipeg, manitoba in minus 40 degrees, so i wouldn't be tlaking. WHen i read that i just laughed, so what do you have stuck up your ass?

[kiskuh]

lol, lets just say his boyfriend broke up with him.

[thebiochemistry]

John Williams is the best!

And you can see clearly in his work the big influence from Gustav Holst, from the Suite "The Planets", mainly the "Mars"! Ald you also can tell that there are a little of Wagner too.

[carlespo80]

awesome Holst reference. My grandpa used to play the planets for me and my sisters on an old 45 (if that's the correct number when referring to large records) when i was a little kid. i love that shit. i like when they do the countdown and it sounds like talking but it's not really.

[CaptainViral84]

I would like to give John Williams a special thank you for makeing movies come live.

[Voikanaa]

John Williams is my favourite composer

[RedCoatPrds]

If you only hear 5 seconds of it you know it's Star Wars. So famous is it. And John Williams is the best Composer of our time !!!

[Jazzper79]

I would say 1 second

[SesaruCatalonia]

John Williams is and he will be one of the biggest composers of music of our time. Like he was in his day an insuperable tandem Alfred Hithcock - Bernard Hermann - Cary Grant, ho they it are Steven Spielberg and George Lucas - John Williams - Harrison Ford.

[ReplaceThat]

All his music are HEAVENLY~ (:

[uhe1967]

All his work is so unbeliveable strong. Hear the people cheering at the beginning!

[secret1service]

when is his next Hollywood concert?

[greenTleaf]

@secret1service sorry for the late reply! Last year it was probably around this same time. This year, it's this Saturday, August 28!

[secret1service]

@greenTleaf I'll be there saturday :D

[greenTleaf]

@secret1service ME TOO! hahaha

[secret1service]

@greenTleaf S section..cheap seats haha

[transformersdudefred]

with out the music the movies would not be half as good with the song!!!! john williams rules!!!!

[avatarnarutochuck]

Star Wars theme, Superman theme, Indiana Jones theme, ET theme, Jurassic Park theme, Harry Potter theme, Jaws theme... John Williams makes the most memorable scores than every other composers could have done in their lifetime!! and there's a whole lot more of them than the ones I listed. Hands down, John Williams is a living legend.

[JaySharp604]

Why does no one recognize him for one of my favourite pieces, "Shindlers List"? The most heart wrentching score he's ever done and it makes me want to cry every time I hear it.

[feistyfairy99]

it doesn't matter that the video is shaky. i just sit there with my eyes shut reliving the film anyway.

[greenTleaf]

@feistyfairy99 THANK YOU!! It's all about the music!!!

[feistyfairy99]

i can't live without the music from star wars.

[sorcussbabe77]

JOHN WILLIAMS= GOD

also dont forget superman, my favourite of his works

[kyleditomaso]

Wow what can be said about that hair raising piece...

[Akastuki303]

john williams is a divine gift

[v49624430]

Another Timeless Classic From The Oscar Winning Movie Composer and Conductor John Williams.

[horsegerbil]

ALL HAIL JOHN WILLIAMS! He is the greatest! I hope to see him some day! And also MAJOR kudos to the musicians! I wish I was in that orchestra...WOW.

[dnp97001]

Did anyone see the bumper sticker on the Imperial cruiser? It said Bush\Cheney.

[macdaddymario]

lulz family guy and John Willams FTW!

[samueletozzi]

aaaaargh! I WANT TO BE IN THE CROWD!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

geeker joy!!!!

[montemike]

^_^

[flyguy281]

Such a great song

[OMGItsMeels]

I love this song.

It's so damn fun to play.

[maxerdude]

Fan-freakin-tastic!

[charmedfover]

that was great

[sugarpuppy137]

Absolutely fantastic, John Williams is amazing!

[frolegend]

*squeals madly*

[charmedfover]

after 3 minutes i have trouble playing it this song he writes some difficult songs

[futurmanipradio]

it's my favorite music!

[samueletozzi]

JOHN...YOU ARE MY PERSONAL GOD

[astroview120mm]

New religion - Williamsism

[pianowiz93]

Chyea, I'm in!

[skysocool]

man this is simply beutiful i mean u no how much hard work it is too actualy play all together i mean one mistake from a trumpet or somthing could get you fired! so who ever criticizes this doesnt no wat he or she is talking about cause this is beutiful

[Jedi554]

John Williams is simply FANTASTIC!!!

[gorn9146]

The way they cheer at the start, you'd think they were at a rock concert. Anyone else notice that when it comes to this genre of music all the best works seem to come from sci-fi or action/adventure movies?

[MusicIsLife410]

Yeah, they're always so beautiful and imaginative. ^_^ And they're pieces that will be remembered 20, 30, 50 years from now or maybe even longer than that. John Williams man, you are a genius! We love yooou

[gorn9146]

I think you're a bit more right than you realize. Star Wars IS 30 years old. And as of today (12-2-2007) so am I. Man, where did 21 disappear to?

[emow69]

you actually dont understand, MusiclsLife410 means that John Williams piece will be still remembered 20-50 years or more from now...

[gorn9146]

Oops. My bad. No offense intended. I was actually commenting on the fact that I am as old as Star Wars.

[taraitamas]

no! John Williams the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greendaysimpleplan18]

John Williams = God of Soundtracks!

[00chla]

John Williams is one with the Force

[EdMajinLee199999]

i want to be in his orchestra

[tolstoiii]

payterrr

[JP5466]

Goosebumps!

[alexolsennavarro]

Every nerds dream

[gorn9146]

Dork.

[gorn9146]

Everyone, disregard the "dork" comment. That was directed at someone elses comment. for some reason, it's listed in the wrong place.

[SanniYork]

And I suppose you think John Williams also is a dork for conducting this.

[gorn9146]

NO! That "dork" comment was directed as a response to someone elses comment. Why it's listed up here I don't know. I like John Williams's work. Why else would this video be in my favorites file?

[Brukei101]

haha hey, im a nerd, and a dork, and a geek, and im damn proud of it. =D

but you dont have to be a nerd or a dork to appreciate amazing music like this. these melodies will be remembered forever. I LOVE IT

[filmguy91]

well said

[nielleenslin]

Well said brother.. star wars is minutive is South Africa, and people also think im a geek for loving it,but thats them.........

And THIS is John Williams!!

a truly remarkable composer..

[nickvids4u]

Star War is Minutive is South Africa???  Excuse me but wtf mate?

[Jedi554]

alexolsennavarro, we all may be nerds, but we are proud of it :P

Btw, why did you even bother searching up "Star Wars" in the first place??

[alexolsennavarro]

I never said anything bad about nerds. I happen to like John Williams. Maby im getting star wars confused with star trek. (And God forbid I ever do that) Whatever...I meant no harm in J.W. or Star Wars.

[freshfrmdadesh]

Damn john williams is a genius !

[locutoresfrustrados]

CHINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON !!!

[gigacz]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!

[picure]

Awesome. Its like being at a rock concert!

[ontwikkelingsland]

Star Wars RULEZ!!!!!!!!!

[Jedi554]

Totally agree with you!

[zoroloco]

all those movies and his best song came from a low budget unknown sci-fi film. go figure.

[00chla]

your kidding right?

[moondy11]

LOL!

[freaksrkool15101]

awesome....but hold the camera still

[greenTleaf]

it was cold dammit

[stimey105]

Where do you buy tickets for this concert?

[kokorcsin]

John Williams is a PURE GENIOUS !!!!!!!

[elnetini]

Shhh people

[Ukuleleguy1]

I think the music from "Empire Strikes Back" was awesome, some of his best. Listen to it especially as the credit roll at the end.

[Kabulox]

1) john williams

2) Ennio Morricone

3) Joe Hisaishi

4) Hans Zimmer

5) Jerry Goldsmith

6) Dany elfman

7) Yoko Konno

8) Howard Shore

9) Alan Silvetri

10) Eric Serra

[Amptron25]

No No ! It's John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith, even though he died, I think. Hans Zimmer is still good though. All of the Newmans is also good, you see them on about every movie nowadays

[snackpirate]

#1)John Williams

#2)Hans Zimmer

get the picture? ;)

[ryandunnett123]

Hans Zimmer is a legend!!!! But John Williams is a legend KILLER! luv them both!

[titolaurent]

no way, hans Zimmer gives me the absolute sheets. It's John and Jerry Goldsmith a far away second for me.

[deltaleadjason]

he was a piece of shit but i like the music!

[AgentJohnson1]

what are u talking about?

[delta1140]

just nothing I was not that guy um he must be my fru=iend who answered that or wrote that thing

[racl101]

This is fantastic. You can just visualize the credits and the Star Destroyer roaring by. John Williams is phenomenal. Lucky audience. They get to be in the same room as this man. To me that's just as good as being in the room as other greatness such as Einstein, Richard Feynman, Ghandi, Paul Erdos, etc.

[musakao9]

I want to go to one of these soon!!

[maurojedi]

Sono cresciuto con questa musica.. I'm a Jedi!! ;-)

Wolfjedi

[Havoc1138]

Love John, Love star wars!

[xDerbroX]

I LOVE STAR WARS....I am a STAR WARS GEEK!!!!

[007theme]

Awesome! You got to see these songs LIVE!?
