This was an extra ! I was there and there was a play list but this wasn't on it . Everyone pretty much knew it was gonna happen at some point but just awesome when you hear those notes . My favourite file ever as well
That tune used to play in my head when my ex-girlfriend used to put her keys through the door before beating my ass after a tough day at work. Yes, she was toxic!
@@adrianaguerrero701 Lo que pasa es que la gente aca en estados unidos usan Jaws mucho en la sociedad con humor. Presentemente, por eso es. Pero obvio, es una obra de terror
They recognized it by the first lone note. John brings the theme in as a solo note, then duo, and then trio. Down; down-up; down-up-down. Total masterwork in simplicity and effectiveness.
John williams is a magician, he knows exactly which notes and how they should be played by which instrument to make you laugh, feel scared, joyfull, inspired, ..
He can carry a movie by himself. Early in his career when he was 30 or so he did music for 'The Rare Breed' (1966) starring Jimmy Stewart. These guys are trying to find a prized bull which is lost and feared dead. Kinda Boring. But Williams music keeps you engaged.
The music made the film even more scary. The building tempo and crescendo evoke anxiety dread anticipation and fear. Then the horns join in to add to the nautical feel of a foghorn on a boat. Plus the meandering tune halfway through seems unconnected to the main theme but fits wonderfully to bring relief for a while until the return of the final powerful finish. The sheer brilliance of music to provoke our imaginations, fantastic.
I watched Jaws when I was in college here in our town's cinema & it was a blockbuster hit in my country,the Philippines. John Williams is the best composer & musical scorer of many Hollywood films. Sept 5,2021
Even after all these years, hearing this brilliant music has my closing my eyes and shuddering at the cold chill that goes down my spine when I imagine that menacing dorsal fin slicng through the water
Since I was a teenager and saw Jaws, everytime I swim in the Swedish fresh water lakes, when there it's deep water and no sight to the bottom (which basically are most of the fresh water lakes in Sweden if it´s deep) I start hearing the "da dum, da dum" and the faster notes while swimming and then I panic a bit and start swimming towards the shore. And I have never seen a shark in Sweden, although we do have nursery sharks in the ocean, I "blame" it on the opening scene of Jaws with this music. It´s a masterpiece! However, when I was on Hawaii in the end of the 1980´s, a 4 meter tall tiger shark had been brought up on the beach still moving around, and I went in the ocean a couple of kilometers away and had the water up to my waist without panicking and this is mainly because I could see the bottom, but it´s where the sharks actually are. Funny!
A couple of years after JAWS premiered, I was driving home and suddenly developed an awful sense of impending doom. I knew something awful was about to happen, and I was desperately checking my mirrors and looking all around. Then it hit me: this theme was playing on the radio without my having noticed it starting.
This really is an amazing theme, I love the hopeful, summery bits over the ominous threatening music, really captures the summer holiday vibe on Amity.
I think that John Williams should be given a special Knighthood here in the UK for his awesome contribution to films and TV work especially this Iconic piece of music for such an Iconic movie which will live on forever and Jaws should be preserved in the national archive as something of Importance. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Sir John Williams showed how only two notes can create terror and phobia in your mind ! It's just a matter of E n F or F and F# . HUGE RESPECT from INDIA 🇮🇳 ... beautifully played !
Fascinating. I had to watch it multiple times to catch just who was involved in what instruments at which time. The lady just to the left of the conductor really meant what she was doing.
it is mazing that an episode on Star Trek in 1967 used virtually the same theme with the 'Doomsday machine' when this huge machine was slicing up planets with a powerful particle beam then consumed what was left of the planet into its huge cavernous opening to digest for fuel much like a shark. Sometimes I wondered if John Williams watched that episode and decided that the same theme could work for 'Jaws' in 1977?
It was all fun & games for the audience just like in the movie's opening scene until 1:30 kicked in you heard no more laughter as they knew Jaws was coming!
The two MOST SCARY NOTES in history - I hear this I wont even go PADDLING...............I hear Martha's Vineyard hasnt seen another tourist in the ocean since 1975...........................If had been going to this I would have brought my HUGE inflatable shark dorsal fin I have and as the first notes sounded I would have inflated it!............🦈🦈🦈🦈
JAWS put John Williams on top where he belongs. All his wonderful iconic scores followed. Before that he was Johnny Williams, scoring B pictures. Thank you, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for recognizing this man’s genius!
Such a thrill to see The Maestro Conduct his own. The audience appreciated it too, with their ovation when he walked on and the laughter at the first note.
I attended Lakehead University in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😀 I studied music and mathematics with a minor in biology Years later I'm happy to say that I'm retired in a Condo in winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 after time in ft McMurray Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
It scared everyone of us 11 and 12 year olds to the point a couple of my friends wouldn't swim in fresh water lakes. To this day I don't swim in the ocean.
Now watch the film jaws ... and most of the fear you feel is when the shark isn't there.. the magic of the music builds the fear from with in... a you fill in the gaps
Love the way the crowd cheered at just the one note played as they instantly knew it was jaws just shows how brilliant Williams is
hardcore fans
They played "Name That Tune" w/ one note.
The best two note theme in music history...
This was an extra ! I was there and there was a play list but this wasn't on it . Everyone pretty much knew it was gonna happen at some point but just awesome when you hear those notes . My favourite file ever as well
It was actually two notes.
You take the music for granted until you see it played like this. Wow.
I don’t think “WE” realize what a bad ass John Williams is. His music will literally live forever.
The tune that runs through your head every time you swim in the ocean.
In the bath as well!
Oh my gosh, yes why is this so true!?!?
That tune used to play in my head when my ex-girlfriend used to put her keys through the door before beating my ass after a tough day at work. Yes, she was toxic!
Lol right
Because of this I do not swim in the ocean..
Music that emptied the seas. Forever.
Yeah, and it was sad
Lmfaoooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even tho we learned after sharks are the dogs of the sea. They love to be pet (from what ove seen on here)
@@lauriefaithprescott Yes, me really like to pet every shark someday
Well said
I love that the audience goes wild from those first two notes. That's a powerful piece of score right there.
Eso pasa porque no conocen la obra
Porque es la parte donde empieza el miedo, es una nota que lo que quiere transmitir es el inicio del terror, no es para reirse

it’s the foundation but it’s a little more complex than that lol

"We're going to need a bigger boat"
Iconic piece. One note and people instantly recognize it
You're gonna need a bigger boat
Exactly, this is why John Williams is so good
And when U were asked to took pictures for others, just say...
"Smile you Son of b***h"...
We're going to need a bigger orchestra (for the music)
Well.... two notes. But you are absolutely right about "iconic"
The power of those 2 notes.
🎶🐟.....
Intriguing yet terrifying piece..
Got novel sgd by the trio , came direct from the MV set , oaak :D
The musical notes that terrified me as a kid
The first notes of Beethoven's 5th...
@@tudorftbl As a classical music lover to another: both, then!
@@postersandstuff ❤q❤1❤❤❤❤
John Williams doesn’t write film scores! he produces Movies made out of music!! A musical genius.
spielberg said that score added at least 100 million to the box office takings
Qqsasscxf
Yes it gave the shark its fear
Factor and menace
Brilliant piece of music 🎶🎵
It was
So good and scary for some
No doubts so 👌
No he never
Every time I step in the ocean I hear this music then I step right out..😳
but sir spielberg too has got part

How about that “underwater” vibe before the ominous notes. Done by a harp????
@@michaeldavies4692 so true michael. Spine tingling!
How that movie scared the hell out of me when I first watched it and it still does as well
I remember I was terrified of even going in the pool for a good 6 months LOL. Everytime I go to the beach I remember this movie
Jaws 3 & 4 were scary , because they were so bad :p
@@postersandstuff jaws 3 is eh and jaws 4 is what the nuts is that a roaring shark
Actually, this could be the music to Predator. Very similar.
I watched Jaws when I was in college here in our town's cinema & it was a blockbuster hit in my country,the Philippines. John Williams is the best composer & musical scorer of many Hollywood films. Sept 5,2021
John William's music is always like a character unto itself, whatever the movie he works on.
Genius.

This was the highlight of my night!! Such a fantastic encore.
What it must have been like to hear these John Williams scores in the cinemas for the first time.
A couple of years after JAWS premiered, I was driving home and suddenly developed an awful sense of impending doom. I knew something awful was about to happen, and I was desperately checking my mirrors and looking all around. Then it hit me: this theme was playing on the radio without my having noticed it starting.
It ... was ... exactly ... as ... you would imagine. Terrifying, to say it mildly. My mom wouldn't go swimming in a frickin lake after this.
I went to this.... it was fantastic. When the “you’re going to need a bigger boat” scene came on the audience cheered so loud it was awesome.
This isn't the Jaws live. That was months earlier. This performance is LSO that was meant to be conducted by JW but he was unwell in hospital
I believe the two notes are sea / sea shark.
You’re welcome.
Underrated comment
Just could not hold it in could you???
I was there :-)
Great atmosphere.
who is the conductor?
Dirk Brossé
Sounds amazing. The timing and synchronicity of live Orchestras is incredible
The music scares me as much as the movie.
Megan Lockhart me too when I was little
Fantastic night! The atmosphere and audience reaction.. A night to remember
one note...just one F****** note and all of the people know what we talking about!
Amazing how one note can get such a response! The man is an absolute genius!
I saw a mash up of john williams songs in Madrid and they played this one. Definitely the highlight of the night for me.

Robert Shaw was sea sick that day and he threw up after he said that.
THE LAST TIME I WAS IN THE WATER WAS 1975 ITS NOW 2021, I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER GO BACK IN THE WATER AGAIN. BECAUSE JAWS WILL ALWAYS BE ON MY MIND.
This really is an amazing theme, I love the hopeful, summery bits over the ominous threatening music, really captures the summer holiday vibe on Amity.

It has been; in 2001 the US Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
In my country they run Spielbergs movies music concerts quite often but i ve never been lucky to hear the Jaws theme being played .
Sir John Williams showed how only two notes can create terror and phobia in your mind ! It's just a matter of E n F or F and F# . HUGE RESPECT from INDIA 🇮🇳 ... beautifully played !
THAT DAMN SHARK...
Ahahahahah … c’è veramente da impazzire !
Come hanno potuto trasformare in musica certe emozioni ??!!!! Veramente roba da brividi
Absolutely amazing. So inspiring
From 2:22-2:40. One of the best sequences in a film score. Perfection!
And you the hear the music and see the scene!
Fascinating. I had to watch it multiple times to catch just who was involved in what instruments at which time. The lady just to the left of the conductor really meant what she was doing.
What's up Morgan Freeman
💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@seanjohnson4475 What up Sean!
Greatest film score ever. Main theme superb obviously but the rest is just as superb.

John Williams is da man!
Watched all the Jaws movies recently, the soundtrack still has teeth.
Music that makes you feel like your azz about to get eaten. 😂
How many blind people hear John Williams music, and tell you the film.
Nervous laughter can be viewed as a defense mechanism subconsciously employed to protect one from feeling overwhelmed with anxiety.
Impresionante de las mejores orquestas musicales del cine 🎥 🔥 . Sé me pone la piel de gallina . Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾👋 .
Outstanding performance
Love this!! 🎶🦈
Outstanding performance. John Williams would be happy with their interpretation Thanks. Out.
The orchestra looks very shark-like, violin bows with their synchronized hacking motions Gulp...not hard to imagine trails of blood in the water!
It is amazing, I loved it from the beginning and I decided to make it my Ringtone
The two MOST SCARY NOTES in history - I hear this I wont even go PADDLING...............I hear Martha's Vineyard hasnt seen another tourist in the ocean since 1975...........................If had been going to this I would have brought my HUGE inflatable shark dorsal fin I have and as the first notes sounded I would have inflated it!............🦈🦈🦈🦈
Seriously didn't appreciate the music as much as I did until watching it live ..
JAWS put John Williams on top where he belongs. All his wonderful iconic scores followed. Before that he was Johnny Williams, scoring B pictures. Thank you, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for recognizing this man’s genius!
This is legendary!
simply brilliant
It's Bruce The Great White Shark.
Terrorized for life having watched it as a 11 year old when it opened in theaters.
Two notes…and it terrifies the world!
@2:25, can’t you just see it? The massive, powerful, killer as it swims by the three humans that hunt it. Feel the pure awe this tune demands.
Isn't it amazing how chilling this is?
Love the audience giggling after the first note LOL
Incredible!
The Musical Score that not only made a Movie, but also saved it!
May be the most iconic film/soundtrack of all time
So Dynamic Very Tense 😬 Loved It Masterpiece Pete sr
I cheered at the end too, fantastic performance
Magistral, sobre todo al principio, las primeras 2 notas tienen magia...
Thank you. Really. Thank you Uncle Johnny.
LOVE THIS!!
Such a thrill to see The Maestro Conduct his own. The audience appreciated it too, with their ovation when he walked on and the laughter at the first note.
Wonderful performance! Strong brass section.
First John Williams piece I remember hearing. I was 13, I think.
I attended Lakehead University in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😀
I studied music and mathematics with a minor in biology
Years later I'm happy to say that I'm retired in a Condo in winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 after time in ft McMurray Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I love how it went from laughing to seriousness from the crowd.
masterpiece....
I'm absolutely deaf. I couldn't recognize most of the instruments playing this masterpiece.
Violin
This send chills up my spin
Thank you for your upload really enjoyed it 🙏
Jaws (Encore) (Live From Royal Albert Hall 26th October 2018)
"Swim charlie swim"!...1 of the greatest themes EVER...
Back in '75 we had read the book. My mom wouldn't let me see it because it was too scary, too groosum. Would give me nightmares. It's rated PG!!!
It scared everyone of us 11 and 12 year olds to the point a couple of my friends wouldn't swim in fresh water lakes. To this day I don't swim in the ocean.
You have to be prepared for death. It's a great piece of background music that you can hear before you get bitten and lose your body
I love this
How does John Williams feel....play 2 notes and everybody erupts. Must be a good feeling.
Took inspiration from Dvorak’s 9th
Sounds even better played live
John Williams wasn't there.
Top !!!
Wow! Wow! And some more wow!!!
Now watch the film jaws ... and most of the fear you feel is when the shark isn't there.. the magic of the music builds the fear from with in... a you fill in the gaps
Love that decidedly nervous laughter at the start. XD
My god this is incredible
Hooper!
You just know to get out of the water after that first few seconds.
I was 9 years old when jaws came out and this theme was terrifying lol
Happy 90th Birthday!
Berlioz, Stravinsky and more are all in this masterpiece.
I like how every thing bounces @ 2:55.
