July 4, 1986 A live performance by the Boston Pops conducted by John Williams, this clip is a masterpiece of visual patriotism from Liberty State Park. The opening concert begins with Liberty Fanfare then The Star-Spangled Banner (Americas National Anthem). Commentary from ABCs Peter Jennings and Barbara Waters follows.
Today the Cannon at the Concord Bridge is turned Westward~The Target is Set For the State of Nevada. There is a Willing and Ready Populace of the GreatCommonwealthOfMassachusetts and it's People~WHO ARE READY AND WIILLING TO FIRE AT COMMAND ~~~ We await that command....That Command Comes Direct from WE THE PEOPLE ~ Never Forget What The Date 04/19/1775~Stands~For~Today~~~You Seem to Have Forgotten Throughout Your Judicial History.

what fun. i played the bass in this concert and wrote about it in "real men don't rehearse." -- specifically, the natl anthem was taped and we synced to it because the jets were too loud to hear anything, including ourselves!
