Eastwood Scoring Stage
Built in 1929, Warner Bros is one of the older and most used
stages in Hollywood. Its size makes it one of the best for large
orchestras. Once known as the Burbank Studios, it went under a renovation
in 1999 and renamed for Clint Eastwood.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was also scored here (at least the part I saw being scored when my friend and former tuba instructor Tommy Johnson invited me in as his guest - by then I had given up hope of doing anything in music, and was on the lot working as an assistant director on The Swarm and, as we were in prep and I had some time down- I went to the then Burbank Studios* commissary (ugg) for a bight to eat, and ran into Tommy. By the way, John Williams had Tommy in mind when he wrote close encounters, but some re-recording had to be done and so another tuba player was brought in I guess - and it seems that he ended up performing the famous space ship tuba blasts - or so he claims. And I believe him. But Tommy WAS special to Williams who said, responding tovTommy’s passing in around 2000 I think, that he was (one of?) the finest instrumentalists he had ever known. It occurs to me that, given YOUR technology even THEN (1978?) it could have easily included both tuba players. I’d like to know, but I don’t suppose there is any way TO know really, is there?
