Glad you had a wonderful night, Mick! Now you have me curious about the audio in the hookah bar scene with Belloq. Please, do tell what you noticed...Mickiana said:The Concert was excellent. The music was the centre of attention of course.
Ha! As far as I could tell, there were only 2 people "in costume" at my show. One guy sitting behind wore a fedora and I met a cute, Zurich girl in full regalia while having a smoke outside during intermission. She's an uber-fan so we shared e-mail addresses. Hopefully, Erika will eventually join The Raven.Mickiana said:Dressed up and with my shaved head I would have looked like a cross between Indy and the big German mechanic (somewhat confused).
Violet said:I know I'm a little late to this party but I went to the one in Brisbane back in Feb- whilst the Orchestra did a fantastic job the setup could have been better- the screen was way too small, the music volume was way too low and the cut of the film was slightly different- there were different words in place of others in some lines. Not sure if the cut I'm used to is due to regional versions but it was defs slightly different.
Also for the entr'acte (as in the start of Act 2) they played Adventures of Mutt much to my surprise and that was one of the highlights as I could hear it loud and clear. The second half was better and more audible. I was just a bit sad that the screen wasn't bigger as I still have yet to see Raiders or any of the original three on the big screen. I also would have appreciated some form of special effects on stage- the ark opening was rather anti climatic for what it was supposed to be- maybe a little theatrical fog would have helped. My 2 cents.
I'm pretty certain that it's an alternate take from the same dubbing/ADR session as heard in the normal, released version. When filming that scene, the plane's engine noise would've completely drowned out the voices (especially with open canopies) so they would have to be dubbed in, no matter what. Watch your DVD and you'll see that Jock & Indy's dialogue isn't 100% synchronized with the movement of their mouths.Mickiana said:Stoo, firstly, do you agree Jock's voice was dubbed in? It sure sounded like it to me. And the Arab who laughs in Indy's face in the hookah bar had his laugh dubbed in too by the sounds of it. And they played his laughing for longer like an echo dying/receding. I couldn't guess at why this happened.
Do you remember what particular differences you noticed? I'm very curious to know and have been waiting to hear from other folks so thanks for chiming in.Violet said:...the cut of the film was slightly different- there were different words in place of others in some lines.

Better late than never! At least you actually went. It's hard to believe that there were recent concerts in California & London (2 of the highest concentration areas of Indy fandom at The Raven) and NONE of our resident Ravenhead locals bothered to go? I'm bewildered, nay, flabbergasted by this fact. What the hell?!?Violet said:I know I'm a little late to this party...

Excuses, excuses. Geographically, the Golden State is not that big and San Jose is about, what, a 3 hour drive from L.A.?Pale Horse said:CA is a big state, you know. I Can't just pop out of Greater Los Angeles to Silicon Valley for a concert one night.
You "certainly" did not. Shame on you, Paley!Pale Horse said:As a local, I will certainly check this out.

It played for 3 nights in San Jose. The week before (on 7th January 2016), you wrote:

Why the difference? The whole film appeared to be an old print because the colours looked faded and the blacks weren't 100% black. Therefore, this anomaly could very well be due to the 'concert version' being a pre-release cut.
Nice spot regarding the laughing Arab at the shisha bar. I didn't catch that and, according to Violet, there were some other differences, as well.

Funny that you & Mickiana were at the same concert. You two might have been sitting right next to each other and not even known!

Mickiana said:I do admire your forensic analysis, Stoo. Thank god someone does it.
As for recognising Violet in that large venue that was very well attended by the public, good luck to me. (Where is an emoticon with Indy's glasses?) But I did wear stronger glasses just for the performance. Violet, did you go in costume? I wore my jacket and Aldens, but thought the hat, whip and bag not really necessary. I saw that a few people of my vintage (later 40s) wore garb akin to the adventurer's outfit.
Very curious...Too bad you can't remember any examples.Violet said:Stoo- As for the dialogue differences they weren't huge differences but just similar words in place of words I normally heard in the cuts I've seen (can't think of an example right now).
