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.
