Composer Hans Zimmer is the mastermind behind countless iconic film scores, including Gladiator, The Lion King, The Dark Knight trilogy, and Inception. His full repertoire was on display last night as Zimmer kicked off his first-ever US tour at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Zimmer’s setlist spanned a 34 songs pulling from 17 of his scores. He performed multiple selections from Gladiator, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, and Interstellar before closing the show with a suite of songs from Inception.
Over the course of the evening, Zimmer was also joined by two special guests: South African musician Lebo M., who collaborated with Zimmer on The Lion King soundtrack, and composer James Newton Howard, who worked on The Dark Knight trilogy.
Watch fan-shot video from Zimmer’s performance and see the full setlist below. His US tour continues Sunday night with an appearance at Coachella. Lucky for us at home, the performance will be streamed online.
