I saw this performance live on August 15, 2014 at Loncon 3, the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention. I found it on YouTube earlier today.

It was made up of members from every orchestra in London, just for this one two hour performance. A few of the members from the London Symphony Orchestra were with the orchestra when the Star Wars music was first recorded. They had one practice together the afternoon before the concert. If you look on YouTube for Worldcon Philharmonic Orchestra, you'll find several more videos posted there by the same person who did this one.That's a great orchestra!
I've never seen this live. I still envy you for this experience.
I'll take a look, thank you! This sounds interesting.It was made up of members from every orchestra in London, just for this one two hour performance.

It certainly was. It was my first time at a live orchestra performance.I'll take a look, thank you! This sounds interesting.
Nevertheless, it's not the same as being there, watching everything, feeling the music (may sound weird, but that's what I also do when I listen to good music like that) and listening to it. Just from watching the video you posted, I have the feeling that it must have been a breathtaking experience.
Even better to start with such an experience.It certainly was. It was my first time at a live orchestra performance.

There are a few people which posted parts of the concert. I was listening to a different version of the Star Wars theme:

I shouldn't have watched this excellent video, now there's a heavy snowstorm in Regina.
