God damn some of this is amazing... thank you so much to all of the uploaders!
I was a bit let down that they didn't break into The Great Sea during the encore while doing the Wind Waker credits theme... instead they butchered it with a horrible transition into Metroid music. Bitterly disappointed, especially as they included so much unremarkable OoT material in the earlier Zelda composition. But other than that the encore was beautiful.
The retro Mario compilation gave me goosebumps!

With F-Zero and metroid is like they werent even trying!
2:30, TWO FUCKING MINUTES AND A HALF of fucking DRUMS! What the fuck they were thinking. Hey, look at this excellent music, fire field or Mist Flow, to only name 2, but instead, we put 2:30 minutes of nonsense, and even when you hear Mute City and Big Blue, is just mixed with music I dont even recognise.
And wow, metroid, that must have been a fucking record. Its like the fucking composer didnt even like the music from the game and wanted to do his own piece. Hey look its Brins... no, it seems not. Hey look, Samus Theme, hey, whats with the weird sounding shitty trumpet, well at least it has chor.. wait, thats it?
RAGE!
At least things like SMG medley, and the encore, yet that one was too short, were definetly awesome and incredible.
The rest range from very good, to merely good, to fucking piece of shit that its not even from the games they are doing.
Its like, they really didnt want to do a Nintendo concert, but someone impossed them to do it.
The worst thing, I saw one or two messages here saying it "poops" all over video games live...
No sir, no it doesnt, at least VGL try to make good tributes from the games they are doing (maybe the symphonic legends are better in the quality of the musicians and the chorus, but as I say, it seems like they didnt really want to do a Nintendo music concert).
And again, thanks to the people uploading the music!

Reminds me of the Final Boss Medley last year. More than two minutes of drums at the beginning of One Winged Angel.SpacePirate Ridley said:
At least the YouTube comments are funny.

Yep, Im a little let down with the whole concert. I entered here when the SMG medley started, and it was so awesome I thought all of the first part was going to be as good. So, so wrong
BTW, off topic, but change were you uploaded your avatar, becuase it happened to mine the same, it seems tinypic is closing for international users, and is taking our images down.

i liked it overall, but i was annoyed at all the dissonances and fade ins of melodies and channel over channel over channel of different themes.

In the encore there like differnt themes of 3 sec tops form differnt games. I dont know who had the idea to do that but he failed miserably. The most recongnizable was the star fox main theme intro in the encore, but im sure theres lots more, but the problem iis, they are 2-3 seconds, so you dont even know what they are.
The same in the Zelda medley.
Hey, do you hear?, the a link to the past castle theme, FUCK YE... what! what the fuck was that? OH NOES KOKIRI HOGWARTS FOREST AGAIN!
I think what they really wanted to do is a tribute to John Williams or something, because is some songs they were not really Nintendo music.

From a musical arrangement perspective, Video Games Live doesn't hold a candle. Just comparing their arrangements of Chrono Cross/Trigger is enough proof of that, as I'd say the Chrono arrangement VGL does is the best they do, and likewise for last year's Chrono arrangement from these guys. But, it's different. VGL is a show, really, more than a concert, and it's as much about the whooping and yelling, the guitar hero competitions, cosplay, light show and game footage on the big screens as it is about the music. This was more of a black-tie orchestral event.
I think the difference is that VGL would struggle to challenge the (wrong) perception of many classical buffs that this music isn't 'pure' and 'real' enough, whereas the arrangements here definitely would. Both are great, though.
In general, this wasn't as good as Symphonic Fantasies (last year's Square Enix effort), but it was still pretty bloody fantastic.

Checked it, it was clean.
But it certainly didn't want me to download it.

VGL has a nice idea of mixing live music with video with light shows, but the music is sub par.
For example, their version of Legend of Zelda is just the Superman theme.

I made a simple disc cover out of the image in the OP if anyone wants to use that for the album.

Thanks to everyone who recorded and uploaded the pieces. Great work

Thank you! I really enjoyed it, fucking loved Zelda, Galaxy and DKC, way too beautiful, Pikmin, Star Fox and Mario were awesome, F-Zero was right, and I was sad with Metroid.
Anyway, thank you all for the recordings. Hopefully some video will be available.

IIRC was only one original OOT song - Kokiri Forest.
The rest were TP or LTTP, with the obvious exception of the song of Medli's Prayer.

Are any of the links posted mp3 only?
The recent one from this last page has some in mp3 and some in m4a, which my work computer can't play.

Did someone record the audio by grabbing the download data directly from the web radio broadcast with something like GetASFStream (so no recording with an audio software)?

has anyone uploaded the two FFVI songs that played during the intermission?

I've got everything from start to finish, recorded from WDR4's digital radio channel (higher quality than the Internet stream). But I need the direct stream from the web radio (starting from the Metroid suite would suffice, there were no problems before) to patch a few passages up where the broadcast was faulty...pakbeka.. said:

Thanks a lot. This was super awesome when I was on traveling the road the other day.
Good stuff.
Hamauzu's DKC arrangement made me feel feelings deep down inside that I never thought i'd be able to feel.
Words can't even express the warmth and incredible-ness that I felt and still feel listening to it. Almost cried I did.
He truly is one of my favorite composers and arrangers of all time.
Simply amazing.
EDIT: I hate whoever coughed during Aquatic Ambience.

Nothing compared to the legendary door slam amidst Michiru Yamane's live performance of "Wood Carving Partita" in 2006. I can't listen to that recording without imagining the door slamming every time a note on the piano is played. :lolThoraxes said:

Got it now! :3
In the past years, I always recorded WDR4's digital radio broadcasts of the German game music concerts. This year, a comparison has shown that the web radio broadcast was actually superior to the WDR4 digital radio broadcast. The reason for that are the different audio sources: The digital radio broadcast a 5.1 version this year, meaning that the noise from the six individual channels adds up to a very unpleasant hiss throughout the recording if converted to stereo audio.
On the other hand, the WDR4 web radio had a separate "pure" two-channel version of the concert: No superimposed noise here, which results in a better sound altogether (it sounds far more "full" and balanced). The only downer here: The web radio was broadcast with a bitrate of 128 kbps and a frequency of 44 kHz, meaning that it's a little more compressed than the digital radio broadcast with its 192 kbps and 48 kHz. However, user Whiz-zarD has downloaded the data broadcast on the web radio stream directly, and kindly provided it to me. I then split that file up losslessly into individual tracks with mpTrim. So...yeah, thank Whiz-zarD for providing this "clean", non-recompressed version of the concert. The only thing we need now is a true 5.1 recording.
