STAR TREK CONCERT | Prague | 2-11-2016 

he who dies with the most wives wins...... or something like that...........or is it loses??

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." You are one lucky man. A keeper.

@Benjamin Hausmann --- Not paying extra to watch it! They can't just put it on regular TV channels, they have to charge you more for everything, one of these days they are going to charge you extra just wipe your ass!

a keeper, I reckon.

Some public restrooms charge you, just to take a number two!

The only scene that really surpasses all in Trek is when Sisko breaks down in Far Beyond The Stars.

In real life the flute didn't even work lol

When i heard the flute i choked, when writing was writing and acting was acting, and Star Trek was a beautiful thing.

Which movie/episode are you referring to?

@@Ecoxiss TNG. The Inner Light.

I had to check to see if he actually knew how to play the trombone, and he does! He's played for fans at conventions before

That would have been amazing! 😅

In between m Marina Sirtis calls out "night bird!"

Absolutely!

Been a fan for a lot less than 50 years, but the tunes give me goosebumps too

Yes! Me too!

Sure do!

I'm only 30, and I'm a Trekkie since I'm just 14. I can say Star Trek is intemporal NB : Qapla'

sudden flashback to the DS9 episode where nog and jake have to trade dozens of items/favours between dozens of people, and at one point nog has to listen to classical music at monster volume to detect minute imperfections (and only he can do that because of his giant fine-tuned ferengi ears), royally annoying jake in the process

Wolf de Guerre Self sealing stem bolts. Whatever those are. :)

he looks like sulu's ancestor

That the choice of music for The Next Generation was from S5:E25 is a definite indication. The Inner Light. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

he might have done it for free, he really looks like he is living the dream!

It's the best one!!

@@pamtebelman2321 Normally they just sort of segue it into another tune and water down the dramatic ending. They didn't this time!

@@RS250Squid I am glad they did!

Well said Bester!

And there goes a tear in my eyes.

Is there a version of "The Wrath of Khan" out there in which Kirk says, "his was the most noble"? I seem to remember hearing that - and being surprised by him *not* saying, "human."

Of all the souls I have encountered in my countless travels, his was the most... Human.

I am God I am a strong k99

You need more Kohlinar in your life! 😐🖖 Jkjk, same here tbh

1966.

@@900i16 Same here.

@@1978rharris Well, Jolan Tru to you too. 😏

Amazing isn't it. Over the course of the concert I've gone from close to tears, to close to cheering, and back again. Remarkable!

Fair Winds Shipmate

'Muricuh 🔫😎 yeaaAAAh

Thank you for your service. My sister, brother, brother in law, 2 nephews and one niece…Navy

Nice! The Search for Spock is glorious. I chose it to play to the entrance to Monument Valley.

@@taroman7100 Great idea. I will do the same when I finally get to visit Monument Valley. Hopefully some day soon.🖖

agree. goosebumps!

Jerry Goldsmith man one of the biggest composer of the world

I'd say the Voyager theme and the First Contact theme are about tied. They are both beautiful.

It’s a classic!!!!

Jerry Goldsmith was a genius. His music is sublime!

Even if you're not a Trekkie, good music is what it is.

bodie of ci5 After not hearing any OG Trek themes in the motion picture, im sure audiences had a blast hearing that opening in the theater for Wrath of Khan. It’s like “Yeah you’re boutta watch one of the best Star Trek films ever so get ready”

The best ever.

it's astounding how damn good this is...each melody is as good as the one before, the colors of the arrangement are nuts. It's really amazing

An interesting little factoid: The musical sorcerer we know as James Horner was only 28 years old when he wrote WOK. Too bad he passed before his time. We should ban important people like him from doing fun (and dangerous) things like flying airplanes, snow skiing etc. J/K of course!

@@artloverivy That is EXACTLY how it was. The theater audience cheered loudly when those notes from the original series started off. It was quite the thing to experience.

I'm so jealous.

Indeed.

It's like ice cream with onions.

I am always amazed at how frequent the commercials are on youtube, when I view youtube with my work account, RU-vid Premire is worth it just due to the lack of commercials alone.

A simple adblock addon will help. And I hope you didn't make the crime to watch this great video in your mobile !

rofl

Yes, but do not forget, Grand Admiral Thran would have kicked the Borgs asses right back into the next galaxy at the Battle of Wolf 359

That was a really great episode - how to fit so very much into 40 minutes? How to fit a whole other life into a few minutes? The show achieves with us what the story achieved with its character! Believe it or not one of my good (Trek-loving) colleagues regards this episode as lame. He is a few years younger than me, though. Think of Picard's secret longing to have lived a more conventional life with wife and kids. Deeply touching in all ways. In one of the movies, Picard cries at the death of his nephew - the closest thing he had to that family. And then Picard meets Kirk that time, and both dwell on the idea of being married to their ships - sometimes the real-life fate of the Navy officer... We should not let it mean anything to us out here in "the real world", yet we do and it does. In the original poem "The Inner Light" (which George Harrison also built on), we read "Without going out of my door, I can know the ways of heaven". Perhaps we should amend that to "some of/part of" the ways of heaven, but the Holy Spirit came to me in my bedroom, and from that moment I KNOW this is the truth. Star Trek did this kind of thing for us, and there was always a fierce debate as to whether the show was religious (Roddenberry was determined that it was not, and was not even such a nice guy, yet he had the vision - perhaps literally, and I am pretty sure there is divinity in there somewhere, in spite of everything).

Hey, we are fans too ;)

My concert instructor called the trombones the wheels of the car...it was the French horn that was its engine. (Strings were the frame/structure while winds were the fuel/gas).

Yeah, but I still like the music, anyway.

Yeah most of the Star Trek Themes use French Horns. That's what gives the themes that depth.

Can't believe the horns! superb playing - no idea how their lip holds out for that long with so much playing (and high notes). Respect.

That’s original

In my opinion it's always represented the essence of Star Trek And no, you're not the only one in that case, far from it.

And by the way The Inner Light is still the piece of music that still makes me cry the most in movies / series (and I've seen a lot and still watching)

Have no shame! You are a human! The feeling is mutual!

Me too, as soon as it played!

Watching it for the first time I also cried 😭

It is just an amazing melody, can’t help but smile when listening to it

Absolutely nothing!!

You are the cool kids

No they were the dorks!!! Lol

What do you mean? It's awsome music! How could you be the dorks?

@@aiosquadron he means the cool kids in the story are the real dorks

Please do, would love to see you here :D

considering your name, you are from Island, so its not too far to come here to Prague by plane, you will be welcome. ;)

Of at the least, memorable themes. Great performance!

far superior to the crap we hear now in modern film. Need to bring back thematic orchestral pieces that are exciting and fun like this to listen to.

It is actually better. The original score was done with a smaller pick-up studio orchestra as the entire film was made on a smaller budget than the original ST Motion Picture which was over budget and over blown. I remember reading at the time they used a skeleton orchestra with 20 violins as opposed to a full orchestra like London Symphonies which would have over 40. Smaller wind section, too.

Great film and great scoring!

This version indeed sounds bigger & better.@@alpsskiingrocks

It's SO good.

Ha, or maybe some were Nausicaans. "Play Damjat, human!"

It is evocative of the ocean to me. I love this theme, too.

Both Voyager and Deep Space Nine get me right in the feels every time.

You are complety correct, perhaps it's becuase they made it home.

O mesmo acontece comigo.

I was just thinking the same thing a minute ago and then saw your comment. I have always felt Janeway to be my Captain.

Why? Much more simple chords progression...

Another lever bro!

Compared to ST:TMP or Wrath of Khan? Those two scores were the epitome of Star Trek while being completely different from each other and the Original Series.

@@Bszewski Complexity is not always better. It most cases it's worse.

Agree completely.

Mostly this is a great performance, but they really misinterpreted the Wrath of Khan title theme. The original soundtrack recording was a slightly botched rush job, but they really doubled down on that rushed, scrambling out of time feeling, and added a couple new poor decisions of their own.

Daniel Dragisic Agreed. One of the most beautiful scores I’ve ever heard.

I was little kid seeing Wrath of Khan in the theater. Scared me!

@@kellywoods5810 It's even scarrier in book! What Khan did with the scientist to get some info about genesis are quite brutal and they did not showed it on screen. You should read it!

This is one the few clips I’ve seen it played live. It’s very underrated.

James Horner was the man!

Like the first ship.

@@renemanuel7128 Like all Federation ships

Treat her like a lady and she'll always bring you home

CyberPunk Girl - is that a quote from Star Trek? I cannot find it anywhere.

"Second star to the right. And straight on till morning"....

Agreed - beautiful concert, pure joy and excellence!

Little known sad fact. There are lyrics to the theme song. It was written by Roddenbary as a cash grab. It was never recorded. His lyrics would appear in the sheet music. He would get royalties. Alexander Courage was not amused. So GR would be cowritter.

Actually, the signer had the hardest part. Everyone else had the music right in front of them.She didn't have that luxury. She had to have hers memorized.

I think his wife sang it (?)

The vocals, performed by singer Louie Jean Norman (b. 1913, d. 2005) were only in the 2nd season opening title recorded in the 1967. Season 1 used the "cello version" (a more subdued arrangement also performed in this concert) and to avoid paying music royalties to the vocal performer for Season 3, yet another opening rendition was recorded using just a very theremin-like organ sound for the main theme instead of a human voice, screwing Loulie Jean out of continued royalties. Or so the producers thought. But then came the perpetual reruns, and because it is widely considered the best arrangement, most foreign markets ran Star Trek with only the 2nd season title sequence, so Loulie continued to receive her fee after all :)

And his response to opening the box and finding the flute just kills me every time!

Reduced me to tears every time I hear it, without fail. Don’t know why..❤

Indeed the most grate sound !

dude, i walked down the aisle at my wedding to the vitamin string quartet version of the first contact theme. no one there really knew where it was from, so it was me and my wife's little secret. my cousin joked later on that she was surprised i didnt try and sneak any star trek references into the entire wedding. little did she know :)

The GNP Crescendo 'best of star trek' CD did such a good job with the Ressikan flute suite, I was surprised to see the thing show up here but it's neat that it's been used in other places.

Definitely. Too bad that nowadays, in the "deconstruction era", they doesn't seem to want to make at least one scene like that where we could appreciate the titular ship in the show in it's full glory. I also always liked this main theme much more than any other. Probably because back in the day the Trek of my childhood was TNG :)

I think they ought to have done that with the TNG movies, especially when the introduced the Enterprise E. That said, I think First Contact was a masterful Trek film. They should have worked it into the end of Generations somehow, but I can’t image how that would have worked.

It's beatable; they beat us over the head with it for 30 mins...

I'd say "Enterprise Clears Moorings" is a contender. I'm going to be blasting it from the flybridge when I get my first catamaran.

@@geoffstrebel2808 Enterprise Clears Moorings, yes sir, definitely!

Voyager has a few episodes in which they deal with and issue, THAT WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH TODAY!!!

Voyager? Really? Life affecting? I found it utterly forgettable.

@@Steve-gc5nt Yeah well, you know that’s like uh, your opinion man.

Dude, check out TOS, where it ALL came from.......

@@AzTrailRider57 I did! And it was incredible 🖖🏻

Peace and long life

Philip Handy Jr. Amen 🖖

It's an interesting decision in the sequence of pieces to have the Nemesis music come before First Contact, because the opening of the Nemesis music is clearly a variation on the opening of First Contact. Personally I would have played First Contact first for that reason, plus it preceded Nemesis in the historical release date as well. Cheers to my fellow Trek Fans!!

the best

*Very* well said my friend!

So proud of myself for catching that before reading the comments, despite being a complete musical idiot otherwise. I can imagine it makes those with an ear for music wince like hell. I noticed the conductor pursed his lips as well.

@@appolonius5468 You have a good ear my friend! Yes I noticed the conductor’s reaction, and upon his viewing the video later, me thinks he had a much stronger reaction away from the camera. 😏 That horn player caught an ear full over that.

it physically hurt me. I was really looking forward to the Voyager part, and not only did that french horn split the note, the dynamics sounded really off

@@acceptedsugar Oh my yes. It’s a beautiful theme and one of my top favorites. When I rewatch Voyager episodes I allow the opening credits to play to hear the theme & watch the nice CGI. Yes, it is too bad about that horn player and the one flubbed note. I suppose a sound engineer could smooth that over. Have you heard the Film Symphony Orchestra? They specialize in film themes & have a channel on YT. The orchestra is outstanding, and their conductor, Maestro Constantino Martinez-Orts is superb. Cheers!

The music is very F Horn heavy. As a military Horn player for many years, I appreciate the difficulty of playing such a concert. Horns are the most magnificent instruments in the orchestra. Of course, I may be a bit biased.

Beyond.the rim of star.light.my.love wanders in star.flight, I know he'll find in Star clustered reaches love, strange love a star woman teaches. I know his journey ends never.his Star Trek will go on forever., but tell him while he wanders his starry sea remember remember me. Words to TOS theme by Gene Roddenberry. Thank you.

Yeah.. I just checked their website. .not a mention of star trek. Such an awesome concert I'd love to see.

You mean baH Qapla'

@@shodanki3736 Qapla'!

BaH

You have never heard Bach until you have heard it in its original Klingon, then you are dead

@@beepthemeep12 QAPLA

a 3 year NBC show that at first needed some grassroots efforts to get the third year purchased.

It really did.

That bit is amazing. It makes me tingle all over!

Same as a fellow fan

But how could the screenwriters be so dumb as to name a space station "Yorktown" when the term has always been used for a capital ship just as "Enterprise" or "Saratoga" has been?!! Get a clue people!!

@@theexile6605 shut up

@@ashreprobite3774 You're probably not a naval historian, so you wouldn't understand my point, genius. Anyway, that's not an argument. Take a hike, jerk!

nice

@@theexile6605 Yes, I had the same reaction. Quite out of place and not very Trek-like.

This is illogic. Maybe, in that case prevailed his human half.
