Wow 80% off a $50.00 ticket makes it just $10.00 I sure hope they sold out the house for those prices.
I was lucky to see Basil conduct his Suite from FREEWILLY Live at the LIGHTS! ACTION! MUSIC! Concert Dec. 7, 1993 at the Music Center Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. That was a great concert also featuring guest conductors Michael Kamen, Alan Silvestri, David Newman, Charles Fox, Mike Post and Jerry Goldsmith.
I miss my L.A. days of Movie Music Concerts and the great memories I will always have of them.
Happy for you all who were able to attend the Basil Concert. What a wonderful way to celebrate and honor him.
I don't think they sold out the house. 80% off means they'd sold a tiny amount of tickets in the first place. I'm sure the concert was fantastic - I had something else on otherwise would have come.

Yeah, such a shame that a fantastic tribute concert like this should be so under-subscribed, especially in Hollywood, the home of this kind of music.
I'm sure this would have sold like hot cakes in Spain!!
Speaking of which, seeing Basil Poledouris conduct his first half concert segment in Ubeda, Spain was certainly a film music highlight of my life.
Such energy and passion and emotion on display that night!
And followed by an informal interview/seminar with Mr Poledouris the following day, during which he took to a piano onstage to play some examples and renditions of what he was talking about.
Capped with an evening party/drinks event in which guests (fans and composers) mingled and chatted, ate and drank, to the strains of local, live Spanish musicians.
Sublime.
It was great that Basil got to feel the love that weekend, especially from his fans, before his passing soon after.
RIP Maestro.
