Wish I could be there. Hope "Timeline" is included in "And Many More," as that's a great score. Do let us know what they play, all you who are going.

"Forget the Williams. Not needed" --------------------- I think Tyler should title it 'HOMMAGE TO A GENIUS'.

This is like being at a rock concert. Orchestra being amplified through massive speakers and there is a massive mixing deck. A lot fun but this ain't a film music concert like I remember them. He doesn't even have a paper manuscript at the podium.

He doesn't even have a paper manuscript at the podium. He's probably the first conductor in Royal Festival Hall history to say "That was sick!" at the end of a piece. I thought it was brilliant!

It was certainly the LOUDEST film music concert I've ever been to (although I'm seeing Zimmer in 3 weeks and I believe that's a real ear bleeder!!). It was amped to the max and a lot of Tyler's music doesn't leave much space between the orchestra sections anyway. I was amazed how similar his themes to Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Now You See Me (or was it Ninja Turtles?) and the Marvel logo music were. It was fun not knowing what was coming next, amongst the advertised titles listed on the poster. I loved the Marvel Logo extended piece and it was exciting to get a sneak peak at Now You See Me 2. Also surprised to hear Partition, Greatest Game Ever Played (tribute to Horner?), Constantine, AvP Requiem, a song from Criminal (Floating/Falling) and a new, fanfare style piece called Triumph Of The Spirit. His tribute to Williams was the Superman March and as noted, Hawaii Five-O was the Mort Stevens theme. He is quite a confident character, strutting his stuff like a rock star on stage, with plenty of gabbing and sharing stories with the audience. I just noticed it's his birthday today. Fun way to spend your birthday eve, don't ya think!

Fun way to spend your birthday eve, don't ya think! I struggled with whether to go or not. But I simply don't like Tyler's music enough, especially his post-Rambo sound (and Marvel house style). The idea of it being further amped... oomph! I love the idea of getting a Zimmer bag!

I love the idea of getting a Zimmer bag! I was going to go but had to cancel at the last minute, alas, but I must admit that I struggled with the idea of getting too excited about an entire concert of Tyler. When I've been so lucky to see Williams, Goldsmith (both several times), Morricone, Barry, Doyle, Elfman, Elmer, Ron Goodwin etc., Brian Tyler seems a bit... samey and simply not that enticing a prospect - compared to the diversity and iconic nature of the music of those composers, Tyler's range feels a little limited. But, still disapponted to have missed out. Did anyone happen to note down the actual cues played (or from the programme)? Wouldn't mind at least recreating the concert from the original soundtracks. Maybe it would make me appreciate his range a bit more and it'd be cool to recreate it at home.
