Dec. 1987 in Tokyo, not 1984. I played the concert - I'm the bearded horn player.

Tears, tears of joy. What a beautiful anthem. It warms your soul with ideals of brotherhood, love, peace and harmony. I love the Olympics and all it represents. May we all have amazing games in Paris.

One of those rare pieces of music that lifts your soul.

カッコイイ😊👍これ以上のOlympicの名曲は無い。毎回Olympicは、この曲で良いです😃

I hope John Williams williams direct this masterpiece again for the 2028 LA Olympics. That's will be epic!

I don’t know, but the French horns always sound so amazing in John Williams’ compositions. He just understands how to use them.

私が初めてオリンピックというものを意識して見たのが、このロス五輪でした。 実は、しばらくこの曲こそが五輪のテーマ曲だと思い込んでいました。

I’ve been listening to this off and on all day. I’m a Special Olympics athlete, have been for 30 years and yesterday got asked to compete in the next world games in Berlin in 2023! I hope that we get this music with live orchestra! That would make the whole trip worth it 🙂.

子供の頃だったけど、このロサンゼルス五輪のテーマ曲が一番好きで印象に残っています。ハリウッド映画音楽の華やかさとドラマチックさがジョン・ウィリアムズらしくて心をつかむ作曲を心得てるようですね。

最近、この曲が頭の中で鳴り響きます。オリンピックと言ったらヤッパリこの曲ですね❕

36 years later this is STILL the theme everyone associates with the Olympics.

2028 Olympic games should use this great theme again for every medal ceremony.

Genio....oido y mente privilegiada....emociona aunque sea viendolo en un pequeño telefono celular....debe ser un gran espectaculo ver en vivo estas obras....

Never in this man's life has he missed. He is incapable of creating anything but absolute bangers

this man’s catalogue is insane! star wars. close encounters. the greatest olympic music ever. jaws. sunday night football theme... just incredible.

I’ve been hearing this theme since i was a child every 4 years and it never gets old. That’s when you know that you’re listening to a masterpiece.

1984, wow, almost 40 years ago. Such a majestic piece and always a treat to see John Williams conducting his own!

who better than John Williams to compose and conduct the olympic fanfare? answer: nobody

The look on the drummer's face when the brass drops around the three minute mark... dedication at its finest.

still brings me to tears.. such majesty!!

The genius of John Williams. I am forever in awe.

I remember Watching the 1984 Olympics in LA and heard this the first time. I still am thrilled to hear it. The IOC should adopt this to open all the Olympic games.

ジョン・ウィリアムズ最高かよ…🥳

Williams' closing the final note looks like he just cut the bad guy in half with his light saber! Truly an amazing piece, and an amazingly gifted man.

A sensitive, committed percussionist makes all the difference. The principal drummer isn't just playing his own part with great style and musicality, but he's listening to what's around him closely. Bravo.

Jamas lo olvidaré tenía 13 años y mi papá me despertó de madrugada para verlo Fue increíble mis primeras olimpiadas Que bonito. gracias Papa

The old man in the drums...Boy is he getting down with the beat props to him. Hope he hasn't passed. Great drums!

The Maestro....no other way to say it. John Williams and his music forever!

I never knew John Williams wrote this. Simply amazing

最高に美しい曲‼️

Oh I love John so much ❤❤❤

Brano fantastico.

懐かしいです。神奈川県民ホールで生で聞きました。鳥肌ビンビンでした

I hope that future Generations will venerate John Williams in the same way we do Mozart and Beethoven

top music very very beautiful 환상적이네요~존월리엄 forever

Was für ein geiler Typ am Schlagzeug. Weltklasse!

What absolutely beautiful and moving musical masterpiece!! John Williams is truly an American music legend. I've been watching the 2022 Olympic games (from Beijing) for several days and this music has been hauntingly played in the background. BRAVO!! !

Yeah john Williams probably had perfect rehearsals cause nobody wanted to miss a note cause well,, its freaking john Williams..

スコーンと伸びて来るトランペットのHigh Cがたまらん！！

A classic for all time....

simplesmente sensacional... tinha 17 anos na época e acompanhei muito esses jogos olímpicos o tema tocava quando os atletas se dirigiam ao pódio para receber suas medalhas... Saudades

I love this piece and I love watching the composer conduct it. I've played it myself as a piano solo several times. It moves fast. Very "patriotic" type of a song. Awesome performance!

Happy 90th birthday, maestro

Wow what an amazing piece!! I love it, you can really imagine the athletes entering the arena with this music. That is very very different from what's coming for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the chosen music doesn't match at all this spirit, without talking of the choreography which looks like a school made dances, too bad, be prepared folks...

4 years of preparation. To finally listen to this song dedicated to you and your hard work gives you the best fucking goosebumps you’ll ever feel in your life....

2021.. Shout out to the Boston Pops (1987). I was 6 when this was played and I am in AWW as I was then, as I am now. These are the real MVPs. So Proud to be from Beantown.

O mais Lindo tema olímpico criado até agora! Fantástico! Los Angeles 1984! Lindo demais!

Ladies and Gentlemen, .......... John Williams.

Amazing ❤❤❤❤

I know John Williams composed this piece for ALL of the Olympian athletes, but this theme, along with the American National Anthem and the Marine Corps Hymn, are some of the only songs that swell my heart with pride of being an American. 🫡🇺🇸

fantastique !

超　絶　神　曲

And there’s something so wonderful about seeing the Maestro conducting his own. Thanks for the post! Olympics starting Feb 3!!

I love this. Anything by Joh Williams is great. Introduced in 1984 as the Los Angeles Olympics Theme, it has continued on!

FANTASTICO...SUBLIME

The Olympic Fanfare is the first piece of classical music that I ever experienced. Watching the 1992, 1994 and 1996 Olympics left an indelible mark on me and this tune is the central agreement of everything that I like and love about the Olympics

Subtle, sublime, enthralling, spine-chilling, The build up to the crescendo is full of so many themes, with the strings building so much excitement. Holy wa' from 2:55 on

Another Olympiad, another reason to listen to this masterpiece

Coming On The Heels of Three Oscar-Winning Star Wars Movie Scores, and This Cemented John Williams as The COMPOSER OF THE LATE 20TH Century!!

I write this as the 2021 Summer Olympics are taking place in Tokyo. I hear some elements from "Fanfare for the Common Man" in this piece. It served as good inspiration I'm sure!

Very beatiful!

Debería ser el himno de todas las olipiedasmundiales!

Magnífico

I just love this! So noble

I Was There For the Opening Ceremony's Preview For all The A, And This Composition Was Obviously The Biggest Highlight for Me and Many Others!!

C'est très beau, j'adore

Love this guy on the snare drum😅

Escuchando música. Tan bella se me viene a la mente. Las olimpiadas de. Atlanta y la preciosa voz. De. Celine. Dion. Interpretando. El poder de los. Sueños

ドラムの方叩いてる姿カッコイイ

The guy playing the percussion snare drum is having a wonderful time.

Jamais haverá outro John Willians!

Maravilhoso

オリンピックのテーマ曲と言えば、これですね。 本当にかっこいい。

I can’t wait to hear this song at 2021 Tokyo Japan Olympic Games

YES JOHN

Everything I here this it make me want to run faster and jump higher amazing piece.

Beautiful.

I Love This Olympic Fanfare Song

Tomorrow would have been the opening ceremony for Tokyo 2020. Maybe next year.

Great performance. Always loved this, the best Olympic theme ever-it can be argued that the 1960 Tokyo theme is up there also, as used by ABC “Wide World Of Sports” theme. I put in the lottery for the LA Olympics tickets in 1984. My choices were Opening ceremony😝or track and field. I got men’s preliminary team fencing in a gymnasium, and Men’s individual sabre finals which was in the Long Beach convention center. 5 trumpet players came out playing the Olympic fanfare on long trumpets( Renaissance trumpets) and was fantastic. We got to see the great U S swordsman Peter Westbrook, take the bronze medal in men’s individual sabre. No other country really wanted to host the Olympics after how they were handled previously with tremendous debt left to the cities that financed the venues. But Peter Ueberroth took over the organization and put on a great Olympics with money left over given to youth sports.

あまちゃんコンサートvol.29 ロスアンジェルスオリンピックファンファーレ 1984年のボストンポップスオーケストラ来日公演は素晴らしいものでした。その中でロスアンジェルスオリンピックファンファーレの名演奏は今も新鮮に記憶に残ります。フルオーケストラバージョンを15パートに編曲し多重演奏いたしました。どうぞお聞きください。 Los Angeles Olympic Fanfare

I still remember that flag girls were so cute. The Los Angeles olympic ceremony is the best among past ceremonies. From Japan

awesome performance and recording. also, one of the coolest shots of an orchestra playing I've ever seen at 3:00

And there's my high school brass teacher Dennis Alves playing trumpet

Masterpiece!

Dr. House rocking them cymbals at 4:02

No one can deny that he is one of the greatest musicians that ever walked on Earth.

I am listening from India very good performance ❤❤from you tube channel Bhushan Music Platform

2:40, lol. 3:32, This man was raised right. Also, 4:00 reminds me of my father kind of in how he looks, but definitely isn't him. God bless you, Daddy. 4:59am, 07/05/2024

Now is​ olympic​ in​ tokyo​ 2021 this​ song​ still epic

Bravo!

Got to see and hear this in the front row live at the Holly Wood bowl conducted by the man himself! Also, I can't remember where, but I heard that the this music will be played at the upcoming summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

A música mais linda que já ouvi

Sencillamente hipnótico.

That cello part 🥵

John williams 사랑합니다

日本人からするとオリンピックと言えばこの曲と古関裕而の東京オリンピックマーチなんだよな

Indy rides off into the sunset to this.

Would it hurt to show the low brass section for a second or two while they pump out that incredible sound near the beginning? That aside, great video!

Merci
