I enjoy the fact that the first two of the four bars during movement number 4 were a sort of crashing and rhythmic beating rather than the same thing repeated four times. It makes the buildup to the song incredibly worthwhile, as well as giving the song diversity. It's a small thing, really, but something that truly adds to the song. The overall rhythm of the song was done to near perfection, too. One theme is never the same despite being repeated once or twice. Every part of the way they performed this piece was wonderful. Thanks for sharing this, Pixyl, and thanks to VGO Distant Worlds for this gorgeous performance~!
Final Fantast VI is my all time favorite game and the music from it is amazing! This performance gave me goose-bumps it was so awesome! Thanks for the upload!
They are absolutely incredible! I can only imagine how much preparation it must take to play the instruments that perfectly! They're all great at what they do, and I am in shock that a system like the Super Nintendo has had songs as memorable as Dancing Mad
Simply the best rendition of Dancing Mad that i have ever heard. You can literally feel the terror and menace that Kefka really is. VGO is really an outstanding orchestra, so is Distant Worlds. Great props for them and, of course, Nobuo Uematsu :) I really hope to see each one of those orchestras here on South America anytime soon!
Something was a bit off about the organ (at least i think it was) it was too soft at parts and didn't sound right though the wonderful choir made up for the organ's imperfections, the choir was amazing
I've been to Penn State football games, standup comedy festivals and 5 Wrestlemanias. None of those compared to being in this crowd on this night, and this performance of Dancing Mad is the greatest piece of live music I've ever heard in my entire life. The VGO went toe-to-toe with, and by some accounts, were even better than the other orchestras that have performed this music. I can't wait to play through FFVI again.
wow... i have never in my life heard a more perfect 4th tier of dancing mad than this performance. im a sucker for the epic guitar solo on the black mages version but those horns on the fourth tier are just....wow
This must be the first orchestra that does the Dancing Mad: Final Tier (the actual Kefka last fight music) without modern/electronic instruments. Too bad i can't find this awesome performance on CDs or MP3s.
Tbh I like this arrangement a lot! Moreso than Uematsu's in distant worlds. I feel like the usage of instruments is a lot more "final boss"-sounding than the way distant worlds used guitars so liberally (I like guitars, but this is soooo much more preferable)
Holy god, I've never seen something like this in atleast all of the european, german speaking countries. How come people of the USA always have to scream like little kids, especially if you're watching an orchestra live? That's inappropriate
Younger people tend to play video games such as the demographics of the audience would suggest. Young people tend to express their emotions more and speak their minds. You may not find middle aged or elderly people attending an orchestra about video games. Also, you shouldn't make generalizations about entire nationalities. There are 310+ million of us. We are not all the same.
ShadowAlly And I find it funny that it doesn't come to your mind that I could be young too; I'm 20 years old and also into videogaming, else I would not be here to watch this video. I still never have seen such a bad audience anywhere here in central europe, sorry.
Calluth now don't get me wrong, I am not the most patriotic guy when it comes to defending america, but i absolutely hate it when someone judges an entire fucking country by the actions of few, no matter what country it is it makes me sick to my fucking stomach when it is judged unfairly. On top of that the audience showed no disrespect towards the orchestra. Even though it was definitely not proper orchestra performance etiquette, they showed nothing but love for this amazing performance and orchestra. By your logic i should be pissed at all of central europe for judging a entire nation unfairly, But i won't do that because not only does it not make a bit of fucking sense, it is also not fair to judge all of Europe for your misguided actions It seems as though you were trying to represent central Europe in a proper and honorable manner and i can respect having pride for the place you live. but the only thing you managed to do was come of as a ignorant prick i am not trying to mock you or piss you off i am simply countering your argument
Calluth Assuming etiquette should be universal everywhere you go, sure I would grant your opinion some validity. But I'm sorry, this is the real world. Etiquette is not universal, neither are morals, sense of style or any other social custom. The laws of physics are not universal in many instances for fucks sake. I will assume that because you are 20 and don't know any better, that you will one day come to realize this. If you've heard an adult in Central Europe espouse the view you've just espoused, just know that that person, or those people, are as strict and rigid in their ways as you currently are and that they never learned better.
Well, maybe I judged a little bit to harsh, as an orchestra-musician myself. It's just pretty annoying for the musician itself, I atleast, speaking for myself, find it pretty disturbing if someone applauses while we play a piece. Okay, not everyone knows you don't applaud when another piece begins, thats something you can ignore, but while a piece is being played.. meh. I'm sorry if I stepped on your toes, just please remember that you don't make noise while musicians are on stage and give their best for a piece to sound as fantastic as it could.. which gets disturbed bly clapping and screaming.
