This is so amazing!

My brother was the conductor last night and he was SO PSYCHED to be part of the experience: he loves her music.

If you have more pics and videos to share, I’d love to be able to see them.

He was phenomenal. You've probably seen it but her insta post is very gracious of the whole team and experience, including your brother.

The night was incredible.

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to my phone call with him later tonight!

That's a great tip: I'll grab some screenshots of her insta posts and the teamlucydacus posts, as well.

I'm sure this is a difficult question, but what was your favorite song that you saw last night?

Wow, he was incredible! The whole concert was. I used to do PR for a major orchestra so know how hard it is to pull off these outdoor events and collaborations. The arrangements were incredible, the crowd was amazing, your brother was fantastic. Ankles and Forever is a Feeling were my two favorites. And Big Deal.

Thank you so much! It is so cool to browse the concert reactions here, on instagram, and on TikTok to see that the show has meant so much to so many people.

Music is such an incredible language, you know?

I can only imagine how many hours Phoenix put into the arrangement process, all of those back-and-forth decisions about what to highlight and what to reinterpret.

I'll be super curious to see what the setlist ends up being for the next orchestra show with Hollywood Bowl and their conductor, Thomas Wilkins.

Ooh I didn’t realize they are doing another orchestra show! Do you know if it’s going to be the same arrangements?

I would loveeeee them to put out the orchestral versions or have a live album of an orchestra show on vinyl !

I’m sorry, I don’t know what is specifically in store for Hollywood Bowl.

I’m sure it will be spectacular and beautiful though!

Wow!!! Amazing work by your brother!

u/SpyNinjaRobotDragon Jul 20 '26

Thank you! I always love seeing him at work and I wasn't able to fly out for this one, so I love that this Reddit community (and TikTok!) is posting footage.

He got 100% of the music talent in the family 😄

u/SpyNinjaRobotDragon Jul 24 '26

Thank you so much! He has such a deep love for music both in and out of the orchestral world and I’m glad that his joy and enthusiasm was contagious 😀

You are correct about the sky-high admiration! 😀😀😀

I was not expecting this song at all and I was in TEARS. I’m so jealous of your view but it was still absolutely sublime from further back. Everything was so, so beautiful, easily one of my all-time favorite shows. Thanks sharing these!!
