incomplete concert and broadcast*

Program:
Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular concert, incomplete.
* The live broadcast of this concert was abruptly halted due to the approach of a weather front with heavy lightning; it resumed sometime later for a brief Pops set minus the usual "1812 Overture", but I didn't record it. If you watched the nationwide TV broadcast, you saw video of the dress rehearsal of the "1812 Overture" from the night before.
