Steven Spielberg said it best. "Without John Williams, bikes don't fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe."

The fact that by the second note, everyone knew what it was, shows the power of that score.

I don't know about anyone else, but, as a lifelong Star Wars fan, I'm also a HUGE fan of the music of John Williams. The Raiders March is my 3rd fave JW theme. (Main Theme from Star Wars, and Superman, are numbers 1 & 2.)

Certainly, without Mr. Williams's music, Mr. Spielberg's and Mr. Lucas's careers wouldn't have made the same run. Long life and many good melodies, Mr. Williams!

John Williams....90 yrs old.....let that sink in....just a decade shy of a CENTURY on this earth! he is up there on that stage full of boyish exhuberance and charm and looks like a man who is just merely of standard retirement age......INCREDIBLE.....i only hope I can look and feel as good IF and when I reach that age! Happy belated birthday MAESTRO :)

Two absolutely timeless pieces of music....I was 12 years old in 1977 when Star Wars was released...and 16 when The Raiders of the Lost Ark hit the theaters....the memories listening to this amazing music will stay with me forever. Thank you Mr. Williams! And thank you Megan for posting this incredible video!!

Makes you think Ford has great hearing, wonder if he shows up everywhere these songs start playing. You can tell he truly loves John, they have been part of each other's lives for over 46 years.

Such an awesome sight to see John Williams giving so MANY cues to the orchestra (sections). He would have the "right" to simply give only general time and dynamics, but no, he cues tiny things in every performance. He couldn't be more down to earth and actually "helping" the musicians...

No music from any movie will bring tears to my face like Indy or star Wars

Two Legends of cinema

Mr. William's sat in a restaurant after one of his concerts and talked to my then 10y.o. son and my nieces about music after one of his concerts.

I was 17 when Raiders came out. I watched the early evening show on my way home from work and was stunned. The next night I saw it again and walked home humming this march. On the third evening I saw it again and when I walked home, I _was_ Indiana Jones.

you know Harrison Ford loves his Indiana Jones. He gets all excited and tearful and melancholic everytime talking about Indy. Especially now & lately. Here u can notice he's a bit teary at first. Gosh , i love Indiana Jones too. I hope the 5th one is just as good.

What can John Williams NOT do? What a maestro he is.

the woman repeating Oh my god. I would be screaming that too!!! How great both of them are.

That music follows me everywhere; a brilliant quote from Harrison Ford! And wow I just looked up how old he is; he's 80; incredible, and in a new Indiana movie coming out soon june 30, 2023! Wow, wow, wow and well John Williams is 91... and as you can see their both working!!

What a thrill seeing those 2 titans together on one stage. Thanks for posting.

Harrison's speech about John...............OMG........so much respect.........so much LOVE. Seek ye out his bit at John's AFI award show for the rest. That AFI show was one of THE BEST of them all, honoring a man who truly deserved it. (Longtime film fan that I am...........among all the movie composers, I simply refer to John Williams as "GOD".)

John Williams music is so distinctive, so calming and always , and I mean ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. It's part of my childhood and will always be a piece of my adulthood, shared with my kids too by watching the fantastic movies he scored. Seems to have a magical knack to match the music to the onscreen action perfectly.... and THAT'S real talent 👏 Bravo Mr Williams I cannot thank you enough... I really felt the emotions again in this video . . .the feels are strong in this

Love that music. Love HF. Happy Birthday, John Williams, your music will be with us always. May the force be with you.

It was wonderful to see Harrison Ford. It would have been extra if James Earl Jones had come over the PA to wish John Happy Birthday

"EPIC" "Epic" is literally the best and really the only word to describe John Williams. 🥰

John William is the classic music mater in modern days just like Bethoven, Mozart, Hayden etc...

Never has Oh my god been a more proper thing to shout.

Great, this music is now rent free in my head since the Recent Rolling stones mixture and the raider's theme combined for the new movie. i cant stop whistling it, my mouth really hurts and i barely sleep, please send help or the ark idk

Harrison was like: "You rang?"

Megan, how lucky you were to be there for this performance. Glad you recorded it. And hey, Megan? You put something out into the community...you get comments, and not everyone's always appreciative. It's just that way, and it's one of the prices you pay for your generosity in sharing it. Many thanks.

He is a wonderful composer, conductor ❤!

Hi Megan W! Thanks for this great footage. I would never have had the opportunity to see this otherwise. What great legends we have been blessed with! I truly hope that John Williams knows how much he means to us. His name should always be held in the same reverence as Spielberg and Lucas. He is as much an important part of their film's success as any of his actors, if not much, much more. As you mentioned about the whiners, I agree, "Shut Up!"

Most recognized score. Love it

What a career this genius has had!!

To think of how many concussions and broken bones I had cause I wanted to be Indiana Jones and my love for archeology 😂

Never heard so much WOOing and WOOOOOing in the life

It's his birthday and they're making him work!! 😳😳 I hope they made him a cake. 🤣🤣

One note. One note and you know what it is.

Mr. Williams needs no introduction! The greatest Composer in the Galaxy!

There are geniuses and there are icons and then there are figures in history. Williams is the Mozart, Beethoven and Bach of our times. There is no composer, musician, arranger, or producer who is as highly decorated, as well-known, or as well-respected as John Williams in the 20th and 21st Centuries. None. NOT ONE. He has defined what it means to be INSTANTLY recognizable, relatable, and emotionally powerful in terms of orchestral music, CONSISTENTLY AND WITHOUT FAIL... for the last HALF CENTURY. There will not be another like him for decades, if not centuries.

John Williams is a friggin legend!!!!

I love you mister williams ❤

Awesome

I think John Williams watched a Kent cigarette commercial just before composing the Indiana Jones theme. 🙂

Without a doubt John Williams is the greatest composer in the last 120 years. No offense to other composers of the 20th century, Holts, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Bernstein etc. But how many people who don't regularly listen to Classical music recognize William's work compared to those other composers? William's catalogue transcends classification in any one genre of music. Wish he could continue for another 50 years.

Funny how the Imperial march starts as Kathleen Kennedy comes to grab Harrisson Ford and take him to ... the other side.
