On Friday night at the Ford Amphitheater in Los Angeles, Carlton Cuse — one of Lost's showrunners — said that although he's admittedly biased, he considers Michael Giacchino's score for the show to be the best music ever composed for a television series. I agree with him, and in a way, I'm also biased: the show has meant a tremendous amount to me over the years, largely for being one of the first things my wife and I connected over. (The first time we hung out was at a special Lost Live performance of the music back in 2010.) But even attempting to remove my personal attachment to the show and look at it objectively, Giacchino's score is so much better than the music for nearly anything else on TV.

So when they announced We Have to Go Back: The Lost Concert, which would reunite Giacchino with the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra (the same musicians with whom he recorded the actual score for the episodes), I knew we had to attend. Before the show began, Giacchino and Cuse came out and participated in an audience Q&A, where a few pieces of interesting information came to light. Someone asked which songs were Giacchino's favorite to compose, and he said the ones that meant the most to him were "LAX" and "Oceanic 6." A guy from the UK tried to pry a hint out of the composer regarding his newly-announced work on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but Giacchino wasn't having any of that. "I literally just started writing that thing," he said. "I have no idea [what kind of music it will have]. It's a lot of fun, I'm having a blast. This is my chance to get away from that." And someone flew all the way from Hong Kong to ask Cuse about what happened in the Dharma Initiative during the three years they were in operation that the show didn't touch on. "They smoked a lot of weed," he revealed to laughter from the audience, "and ABC didn't want us to put that on the air."
