Watch John Carpenter Perform Classic Themes Live for the First Time
John Carpenter‘s first ever concert tour kicked off last night at The Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, CA, and video has surfaced online today giving all of us who could not be there a taste of what this amazing performance was like.
“I direct horror movies,” said the legendary writer/director/producer/composer before launching into his haunting Halloween theme. “I love horror movies. Horror movies will live forever.”
Carpenter reportedly also performed tracks from his soundtracks to 1976’s Assault on Precinct 13, 1980’s The Fog, 1979’s Escape from New York, 1983’s Christine, 1986’s Big Trouble in Little China and 1989’s They Live (the latter four of which were co-composed with Alan Howarth), in addition to newer material from his recent solo albums Lost Themes and Lost Themes II.
