[Cat in the Hat]

GIFs of percussion guy would be amazing

 

[Diagol]

That was absolutely amazing!!!!

 

[LowParry]

I think the Kingdom Hearts music was a better rendition all around than any of the other music played.

 

[ChryZ]

 

[K.Sabot]

I'm thinking that they had to 'escort' him from the premise.

 

[Ruuppa]

Standing ovation does not do this set justice.

Although OWA has been around the block too often.

 

[Xater]

Writing an E-Mail to WDR4 now. I want to know when I can buy this.

 

[brandonh83]

[rataven]

My ears just had a crazy good time.

 

[NeoUltima]

edit: beaten

 

[Diablos]

S-E should just hire these people for OST's. Seriously.

 

[Deadly]

Why does it look like their getting ready to play something else?

 

[tanod]

Whoever arranged this is a genius!!

Sweet lord, was that entire concert awesome or what.

 

[orioto]

That was interesting ! SoM music would have been enough, as we barely never heard any arrangement of it since ... 95 ?

Now i can sse why some people are frustrated. There is two ways od doing that. You can have out of context music in some sophisticated fashion (that's what we had), or music has we could hear in the actual game. I'm still a bit frustrated when the music is arranged in some hidden or tortured way. The SoM piece was particularly sophisticated for example.

 

[rockman zx]

Men they like his applauses.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

That was awesome.

 

[B-Dex]

Noo they cut off the clapping

 

[Wario64]

Applause is so annoying it's been dubbed over

 

[kadotsu]

Want CD now!

 

[NeoUltima]

Never ending...

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

and it's over

 

[USD]

Well I guess that's the end.

 

[Shadow780]

Blu-ray release, price rape me I don't care.

 

[tanod]

:'(

Beautiful. It's over. Felt like I just got off a rollercoaster.

 

[Septimus]

Now then. Who were the ones the captured that in good quality?

 

[Gilgamesh]

That was simply amazing. When do I get to give them money for this?

 

[Delriach]

I wish I was there


Oh well, can't wait for Distant Worlds in Chicago. It'll be the 4th concert I've been to.

 

[SupraDarky]

I wish the 4 composers would have went on stage and get the applause they fully deserve as well.

 

[Diablos]

OWA has been around the block too often.

Indeed it has, but, once again the way it was performed was designed to shatter expectations. It was nothing like any other OWA we've heard. It was pretty clear that the whole idea of the FF arrangement was to take a verrryy untraditional approach to how the whole thing would be executed, because there's been so much orchestrated FF stuff over the past couple decades. They did all kinds of stuff I would have never expected.

 

[B-Dex]

Thanks to the OP for posting the info.
And again to the German Gaffers for paying for it all.

 

[maniac-kun]

didnt know about this its in my home town and its like 10 min away from me :lol
but it was realy epic

 

[ashbash159]

:O

:O

:O

:O

 

[Wilsongt]

That was truly amazing. :O

 

[McNum]

The final boss medley was awesome.

Ansem battle to Secret of Mana battle to Lavos to One Winged... [now extended drum solo] Angel. And I just knew that the two stand out notes in Lavos' theme was supposed to be sung as "LA-VOS!"

And now it's over, at least I've lost sound. Great concert! Where can I buy a copy of the music?

EDIT: Ow... my ears. I probably should have turned tat last part down a bit when listening with headphones. More than a couple of minutes at full volume is a bad idea.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Someone link the entire goddam thing nao!

 

[carlos]

sigh...I never got it to stream at all; if anyone manages to get a recording or site where it will be available to view later, please point me in the right direction

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Loved every minute of it! Great music and musicians!

 

[Xater]

Whoever arranged this is a genius!!

Sweet lord, was that entire concert awesome or what.

The arrangement was done by Jonne Valtonen. He is finnish.

 

[Magnus]

I hadn't heard of Cologne before the games con recently held there and this concert today. :lol :lol

Figures, two gaming-related events put it on the map for me. I love your city, Cologne-GAFfers.

 

[Volcynika]

sigh...I never got it to stream at all; if anyone manages to get a recording or site where it will be available to view later, please point me in the right direction

Rengoku recorded first half of it : http://www.mininova.org/tor/2946716

Hopefully he's doing the second half!

 

[LowParry]

Alright. Uploads go!

 

[Geneijin]

After all this, I'm still hit and miss with Arnie Roth. I guess I was hoping out of all the pieces played today it'd be Liberi Fatali.

 

[rockman zx]

That is my first live videogame music concert and it was mind blowing, a big applause to the people that make it happend through internet, thank you very much.



I want something like this but with Capcom music.

 

[Deadly]

Time paradox? There's a cam version on youtube already.

I agree wholeheartedly. First the tease to Chocobo and then the solo-percussion? Insane, but in a great way. Although I would have preferred it if they had left OWA to just that tease, and replaced it with something else in the encore(just don't ask me what).

 

[Gilgamesh]

The only complaint I have is that there was too much FFVII in the Uematsu set.

 

[mastryoda]

OP you rock. I would have never heard this if it wasnt for you.

You the OP.
