Hollywood Bowl : Dodgers/Randy Newman/4th of July Fireworks

Last night I was invited to the Hollywood Bowl for the 4th of July Fireworks. When I was little it was my parents had a box and every 4th of July they brought my sister and I for the firework show.
There was usually some special focus of the night, like the music from Star Wars....last night was no different.



In celebration of 50 years of the Dodgers in Los Angeles, the theme was baseball movie scores, and baseball songs performed by the LA Phil. It was fun...I mean, I'm not a sports fan by any means, but it was exciting. It's never a bad show at the Bowl. You're under the stars with a light show. Many of the old Dodgers including Ron Cey and legendary Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda came on stage.



Somehow in the mix, Randy Newman performed 3 songs and conducted one with the LA Phil. Singing "I Love LA", "You've Got A Friend", and a new track from his upcoming record - it certainly added some interesting moments of the night.



The evening finished up with some spectacular fireworks.
