Actually, this IS a Transformers convention. Botcon 2001 to be exact. I know this because I went to this convention with my wife and when the camera pans out at the end of the video, we are both are standing next to the piano. I hired him to play my wedding that same year as well and we signed the contract at this convention on top of everything else. Great memory for us.
If you all would like to know more about Vince DiCola. Check out "world Wide Web dot TDRSmusic dot com". there you'll find most of his recordings for sale, info and a forum. He's right now very bussy on a new rocording.
Vince is a rare & gifted talent who is seldom seen in public. This is a special and intimate moment with him that has a strong 'looking through a peephole' quality to it, as though he's playing this at home thinking no one is watching. For that reason this is all the more special. Thanks for posting such a rarity. Vince, wherever you are, please let us see more of you.
Or how about THE BEST OF ROCKY. Bastards included about 5/6 songs from Rocky 4 but without Vince. Complete disrespect for his work! More Vince on youtube please.
Anyways, it's always nice to see the composer playing his work. This looks like a rare video. I got teary eyed again hearing the "Death of Optimus Prime" part.
I am searhing for "Piano Solos (1986) - Vince DiCola" ; does anyone have this album ?

This must be him at a Transformers convention, in his interview on dvd he said he attended a lot of them.

It isn't. He appeared at BotCon numerous times, but only performed a show 3 times. I've seen pictures of each and this isn't one of them.

Oops, retraction!
Wasn't BotCon '01 at Durham, NC? I went to see a Hanson show a year ago at the theater next to (actually, connected to) the hotel they held it at.
And, Vince DiCola at your wedding? That must have been something. I'm a big fan of his.

He dosn't look happy. Must be after he found out that Micheal Bay wasn't going to use ANY of his stuff for the new movie. Maybe next time. :0(
