Cowboy Bebop "Tank" (Yoko Kanno) arr. Erik Dannewitz 

It sounds like they have some fantastically technical players, but they really have no idea what they're doing with this piece.

it sounds like everyone is really scared of being loud individually, even the sax solo felt so shy

GOSH DANGIT THE UPRIGHT BASS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS SONG

I feel sad, I was expecting tank but I’ve got archer instead

I love and appreciate this video to the fullest from the detail to Dynamics to the decisions to make the improve close but still original to the performers within the video. To those can really appreciate the music, what this anime represented, and also the value of this video for possible inspiriation, please share with your friends, music and anime lovers alike.

Are you dragging? Or are you dragging?

"I think it's time to crap this scene, get everybody and the stuff together , Ok 3,2,1 let's suck"

i don't think flutes should be in this. not my favourite at all. trumpet section wasn't great at keeping their air steady. i liked the saxes though.

We are a large group of jazz and 90% who commented does not understand anything about music and jazz, instead of commenting useless phrases, you write what works or does not work in our arrangement, you are constructive and non-destructive. you are writing just to show yourself but you do not say anything sensible. thank you

やっぱり“Tank”は難しい曲なんだな〜と実感。カッコイイけどね👍

This is an incredibly difficult piece. You did alright. So many other bands are rushing and completely butchering it. You didn't fall for that trap and considering it was a live performance: Well done.

Oh god those comments made me laugh. I was thinking along the same lines. I've heard that song so many times and a couple of times those notes were missed by the trumpets. It hurt to listen to. The second solo was cringe worthy for sure. Love that song though

The flute was a bad decision.

Killer sax solo

Not my tempo.

People saying how it could use more confidence and how they didn't seem to know what they were doing, that's true, but it still fits how the song was originally recorded. The original is not perfect, and that adds the charm of it. I think it's fine.

This dosent have the swagger that the seat belts have.....

Me: "Let's turn it up to 11. It's like 10 but 1 louder." Conductor: "How about we turn it to 5. It's 1 less than 6."

You know, it does have problems, but when anime is so dominated by young guys and gals, it IS refreshing to see a bunch of older musicians digging something so intrinsic to the hobby. The guy's sax solo was great. J-music Ensemble does a realy good Tank... (Check out their channel.)

気持ちいい

Oh, 9 years ago......I guess I am a little late to comment on this. Thumbs up guys! (EriC not EriK)

I feel like the conductor just showed them the piece right away and directed everyone how he wants it performed, instead of letting them hear the piece first

As a flute player, this makes me feel bad

tank! cow boy bebop最高！

*_SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY ..._*

最高じゃん！！

They didnt do the count down so it didn't have the spirit and the Ending that is suppose to be the best is ruined.

Mucho arte

Great job : ) those memories

It's really kool to see so many musicians moved by The Seatbelts music, what many musicians don't know is that many of The Seatbelts tweaked their instruments painstakingly to create bizarrely unique sounds. No one can play Spokey Dokey like their harmonicist can. Too much sax at the end. Less is more. Five out of 10 for me.

a couple of missed notes here and there, but overall I liked it. :)

I love how everyone in the comments can be so rude and I bet 90% of them don't play any instrument let alone play good enough to be in a Orchestra of this caliber. For all know this is the first time they played this piece live and it could be a new piece for the band. It's the Seatbelts song so that alone makes it tough to play.

The band wasn't ready for it. You can see them all start to loosen up toward the end of the song. and what do you know? They got better when they finally loosened up!

That Christmas tree in the corner is snazzy

たぶんアニメなんか見たことない人達がこのスペックで演奏出来るのが凄い！サックスはオリジナル超えてる‼︎素晴らしい♪

Its so good 😢

Looks great to me o> Nice job guys

I understand the movie “Whiplash” even more now thanks to this

Nicely done ...

Demais.

where is "OK, 3, 2, 1, Let's jam" ?

信じられるか？これ、『アニソン』なんだぜ？

It takes a philistine to dislike this song. Of course it does not conform to your beloved recorded rhythm, this is Big Band, by nature it has less jammming and more structure. A reinterpretation, entirely consistent with the nature of the ensemble.

I'm learning Italian, so at least this was ok practice

They sounded like my middle school jazz band (that I was a part of) trying to play jazz. No soul, no interest.

Tone deaf.

See you space cowboy…

"I Think It's Time To Blow This Scene Get Everybody and the Stuff Together Okay, 3, 2, 1, Let's Jam" !

this was all over the place.....

To hell with them losers who are disliking, I think this is one of the the best cover of tank in youtube.

The sax player screwed up near the end of his final solo. Did anyone catch it?

See You Space Orchestra...

Setting the video speed to 1.25... yep still not Seatbelts...

As a drummer I got say you either practice the shit out of this piece or you don’t play it because it really is a song for the drums.

Gold

1:34 that guy looks a lot like Spike, the hair, the tie, everything.

Better then I could've ever done

3:42 Duncan! What are you doing man! Lay off the sauce!

Having learn to play the trumpet, this song is tough even when you are really good. Notice that I’m not saying that I’m good.

Ok, 3, 2, 1 let's jam

Que belezura!!! 😍😍😍

Absolutely agree.. loose the flutes.. add upright base ... don’t muck up the ending.!

I f-ing LOOOOOOOVE all the Whiplash quotes in the comments

i just got lead trumpet on this today boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

What the name of this musical style?

Not quiet my tempo

“You sing off key” - Spike Spiegel

I think the reason why it feels so out of tempo is because of the microphone setup.. just listen to the bass drum, it's very audible and it sounds like the microphone is just a couple of inches away. It would probably have sounded a lot better if the majority of the sound was taken from in front of the orchestra (people wait for the drum sound to reach their ears before they play, there's a delay within the orchestra naturally). ... or they suck ;) (jk)

its a difficult piece its understandable

Tank! By Shutterstock

良い出だしだったのにドラムで一気にローテンポになったね

This needs way more funk

I am the 999th like XD

Wow this was sad

3,2,1,let's jam!!

ghost adventures

Cowboy Bebop

Not perfect but not that bad. I do miss the countdown in the beginning though.

Tank! Electric Boogaloo

Welp. What ever Happens Happens

It sounds better at 1.25x speed

Oop- there you go, the chair's flying again.

its good stop complainig for god's sake

Umm......Its actually "Tank!!"

that solo in the end is really hard to do

Is there a score for this?

0:55 somethings about to happen!

Spike

Sweet i actually like tgis version

this is a little bit slower than the original theme. in my opinion..

que va no le llega a la version de la serie, y el saxo que va al final, nah le falta un buen

very very loose

Now are you a rusher, or are you a dragger or are you gonna be ON MY F-ING TIME?

Instrumentation blend was meh especially the flute

This was just kind of sad and though the song is upbeat, after watching this i dont feel upbeat

Where's the bongo man

This has no soul man

They arent just feeling it ?

A 227 reggeatoneros no les gustó este video.

Wow, that was really, really, bad. Not all, like the percussionists for instance, but the sax and the trumpet sounded like a high school rendition.
