FYI, I was able to see the LA Philharmonic, conducted by Zubin Mehta, perform the 1812 Overture at the Hollywood Bowl. The concert was titled as "The Tchaikovsky Spectacular". That was a long time ago, about 1980, but I remember it to this day. The canons did produce a good wallup. The fireworks were set off from behind the Bowl. Really a spectacular show and wonderful experience.
