It looks like the only thing they're playing that isn't released is The Captain from Year of Hell. (That just speaks to what an embarrassment of riches we Star Trek music fans have these days.)
Anyone who's seen the concert: How did The Klingon Battle sound? No chance they're touring with a blaster beam, is there?

No, the blaster beam parts will be performed by synth, from what I've been told.
I was listening for the blaster beam segments at the performance I went to a couple weeks ago, and it almost sounded like the beam performance from 79 was isolated and played over the live orchestra. It was very low in the mix, though, and could have been a synth I couldn't discern clearly.
Overall it was a very fun show. I went in hoping that there would be some deep cuts in addition to the standard main titles, and they did indeed have a nice mix thanks to the decision to feature cues from each TV show. Placing "Captain Borg" right before the intermission was genius, and never did I think I'd get to hear the Generations main title (the only main title that's also a deep cut) performed live. I kind of wish they'd had "Returning to Vulcan" or something else from III, but that's just personal preference.

This is a no brainer. The perfect momento. Ill be picking this up at the concert here in Los Angeles next month.

I'm a little leery of the dialog and sound FX.
I put together the cue list from the tracks I have. What an incredibly satisfying playlist! I'd have liked another cue from Horner (Genesis Countdown or Stealing the Enterprise) but I don't know what I'd cut to put it in. Using TMP as an overture and then "opening" with Generations works like gangbusters.
Starship and Kirk's Philosophy are pretty deep cuts.
I'm getting really excited for this!

There is no dialog or sound effects on the concert CD, if that's what you're worried about. It is just the music.
No I mean in the concert.

They do seem to be the actual blaster beam bits from TMP. Either isolated or the separate ctacks as heard in the LLL 3CD release.
The concert was fabulous. It was so amazing to hear this all performed live, although I didn't really need Michael Dorn's narration. That got a bit too "fanboyish" for me and I really wanted to hear the music. The CD set recording really captures it, the strengths and weaknesses of the performances (some cues lacked the same power to me). But honestly, the experience of hearing this music performed live was just incredible. The only cue that I didn't like the was the final cue, the interpretation of the original series theme. It went off in weird directions that didn't feel organic.
A small niggle about an otherwise very fine performance.

Another question to those who have been: Are they selling the CD at the concert?
