I feel ya. I once saw SF Symphony perform that live with the cartoon playing on the screen behind it. I think that was at Shoreline for a 4th of July show.
The other great Wagner soundtrack was for Excalibur. In retrospect, it was those Wagnerian tracks alongside Orff's O Fortuna that really won me over with that film.
So I hear that this year marks the farewell tours for Diamond, Elton, Ozzy & Skynyrd. I never saw Diamond, despite the proximity, but he's not really my sound. I've seen the other three. Elton does a pop greatest hits show, but he's got so many, so that's cool. It was like checking off a box on my list. Last time I remember seeing Ozzy, he still got me with War Pigs. I would see him again in a heartbeat. Skynyrd was traumatic for me - so many white supremacists and that was before it was fashionable. Glad to hear they're done.
