C-3PO Conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1980 [Star Wars]

Watch C-3PO conduct the Boston Pops Orchestra, with solo cadenzas performed by R2-D2, at the 95th Pops opening night from April 1980. The beloved Star Wars droid duo were special guests of the newly appointed Boston Pops conductor John Williams.
