Video Game Music

[Phil]

A gift for all you bastards. (And bitches…let’s be fair.)

Super Mario and Zelda Big Band

Live performance of video game music by a Japanese ensemble. Youtube has a bunch of clips as well, but this is the entire live performance…good quality recording too.

1) Opening Theme – Mario
2) Super Mario 64 Overworld
3) Super Mario Medley
4) Mario Scat
5) Go Go Mario
6) Super Mario Bros. 3 End Theme
7) Theme Athletic
8) Yoshi on the Beach
9) Wind Waker Title Theme
10) Dragon Roost Island
11) Epona’s Song
12) Isle Delfino
13) Zora Band
14) Goron City
15) Shop Theme
16) Zelda Medley
17) Super Mario Sunshine End Theme
18) Slider (Encore)

I’m particularly fond of the Wind Waker stuff, such an underrated game and one hell of a damn fine soundtrack. (As though we could expect anything else…)

Anyway check it out. I love these.

Right now it’s the most recent entry on the page, but if not, it’s the entry for Jan 8 2009.

A live, hard-rocking performance of various songs from the Metroid series. By the time the second song hits you realize just how killer this is, and it’s somewhat heart-warming how much the crowd gets into it too.

A worthy download for any interested fans.
