This is not what you were looking for, E-Wan, but I have info at the link below regarding the second half of Filmharmonic 85, where John Williams conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing selections of his music. I have photos somewhere, but this link is to an artist's recreation of me, wetting myself, as John signed my "Jaws" album: https://flic.kr/p/LYy2PB
It was the London Symphony Orchestra! I was there and couldn’t believe I was watching John Williams.
John Scott and John Gregory also conducted.
November 1985
Thank you both for information.
I have just found more information about this concert:
16 November 1985: Laughter and Music and Stars that Shine, a programme of music from films made by Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment and at Elstree Studios, introduced by Sir Richard Attenborough and given by the London Symphony Orchestra, the Stephen Hill Singers and the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, conducted by Wing Commander Eric Banks, Stanley Black, John Gregory, John Scott and John Williams with Gemma Craven (vocal) and Margaret Fingerhut (piano).

Oh, was it? Thanks, Brendon. The memory was a bit foggy. I originally had it listed at my Flickr as the LSO, but then I questioned that, because I thought all the Filmharmonic show were LPO – glad to hear I was incorrect in my post above (and fixed now at my Flickr)! I will try to dig out my old photos. Probably have the program somewhere, too. My friends and I had great seats, right up close to the side of the orchestra, and if this part of my fading memory is correct, I recall some of the string section nearby us twirled their cellos around during 'Anything Goes.' It was a great show. John conducted the second half, I believe?

No problem at all!
I may have been sitting near you. My mum, nan, my mate Derek and I were sitting in the choir stalls to the right of the orchestra as you look towards the stage.
My mate and I became really excited when we saw The Asteroid Field on the music stand but it was not played.
John Williams was welcomed on to the stage with the fanfare from Superman.
I still have the programme.

Hey Dogplant. remember getting VIP treatment as we all (Don Judy and Dogplant went to see John Williams conducting the TSO (Tucson Symphony Orchestra) in hey hey Tucson Arizona. Don and I spent $100 and treated Dogplant) and you know the line from Raiders "Do you want to talk to God, let's go see Him together I've got nothing better to lose."
Well enough said.
