Dancing Mad FFVI Part 1 - Play! Stockholm 2007 SOUND ONLY

[MoldytoasterMedia]

The point being?

[orangeblossom03]

They should have fired the percussion section, I can barely hear the vocalists at 1:45 to 2:08.

[roflzi]

@orangeblossom03 i think it added a nice touch they should have made one round with the percussions and the second one without to make a transition to what followed

[organmies]

I read an interview on Nobuo Uematsu's home page where he talked about this performance and said the organ player made mistakes during Dancing Mad.

[Denji2006]

I've noticed that in the sydney as well. Don't they make sure everybody hears and know their cues? What's the point of doing it if it's not spot on? You can't speed up and slow down. You've got to remain consistent.

[elsephi]

lol for those who complain about the organ, remember that is a concert hall, and the recording of the whole thing is based in the distance between the orchestra , organ and recorder, it sounds a little off tempo because of the acoustics . but actually is on tempo its just that the recorder is too far from the organ.

[RicoLen1]

@elsephi yeah you can hear in this part of the video but even more in the second part that the guy doing this recording is WAAAAY too close to the percussion section. Ruins what would be a truly awesome recording. I'd do anything to get a professional recording of this performance.

[angierre]

I am so waiting for the day when a well-performed orchestral version of this brilliant piece will be available on cd!!

[RicoLen1]

@angierre you and me both. This song, the epilogue, cyan's theme, and Forever Rachel, and a few others that were on Grand Finale but over embellished upon to the point where they may as well not even be playing the song anymore.

[Denji2006]

Yes! I feel the exact same way.

The original and Black Mages version were good. But this has to be done "right"

[ed4409]

@angierre /watch?v=jMFCM0SKbnY

[ojinn]

i agree the organ was horrible, their performance at sydney with a real organ was far better. too bad theres no cd-version of that yet to be found.

[Jonny2myren]

This organ is as real as it gets though...

[AkatsukiKaizoku]

Yes, the organ feels to low and quick compared to the Original Dancing Mad and failed also, still is good.

[javititou]

i remember that in the first part of the piece theres a sound of a beast on the ground that its in fact part of the music instead of beeing only a background effect and in this version they forget it too

[zeldafan101293]

I don't know how to describe this. It's fantastic and wonderful at the same time....... FREAKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MakoYoushida]

*cringe* The orchestra as a whole does a decent job, however...

That organist totally botched that solo there.

[nighthawk41]

0:57

It's like if Celes was in Kill Bill

[SmaddyDiva]

The part with the chorus is gorgeous! Then that $(*%^% on the drums has to completely ruin it! *kicks him out of the orchestra* Otherwise, this performance of the song is completely amazing. I would absolutely love to see this performed in person.

[Asuyuka]

PenguinsRuleTheWorld, those are lyrics to a fan remix, and while a damn good one (come on, it was all done with computers), they aren't what they are speaking here. Not by a long shot.

[Jakah016]

Lol they DID put all the movements in hahaha (or tiers, whichever you like to call them) movement one is the epic intro and stuff, movement two is the one with the choir going "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HA!!!" (emphasizing Kefka's laugh) click part to in the uploader's description to find the link for part 2 which includes the final three movements (the bach part XD the rock part, and the epic finale organ/rock part! [gotta love that part])

Personally, I think they did an awesome job, despite quality

[DianaTheHacker]

WHAT DO THEY SING! YOU GOTTA TELL ME!

[PenguinsRuleThaWorld]

The lyrics to the 1st tier: Vae victis, lacrimosa, gloriosa. Rex Aeterna. Tu suscipe pro animabus illis. Mors ego sum mortis. Meaning: Woe to the vanquished, mournful tear, glorious. Eternal King. whom today we commemorate. I am the death of death. ------------------------------­---- I have no idea what the lyrics to the other tiers are.

[agentkuan]

How in Kefka's name did you know that? Where did you find the lyrics from?

[PenguinsRuleThaWorld]

I found them trough a bunch of links on FF Wiki.

[Jakah016]

Hahaha nope, thats the lyrics to a fan arrangement.

The choir doesn't come in until 1:12 (whereas the lyrics you have come in at the VERY beginning.

At 2:10, the lyrics ARE:

Gloria

Gloria

Gloria

Gloria

Ahh...

Obviously, thats what they are saying, trust me, I know a bit of Latin. :)

hehehe thats about everything I got. :D

[animalityyy]

They're mean not to release an album, JUST MEAN... KEFKA TOLD THEM NOT TO!!!

someone needs to sneak into their headquarters and snatch a copy of the lyrics...

[armageddon1981]

Has anyone heard it by filmharmonic of prague...it sounds a little better although i agree with jonny2myren the drummer screwed it a little.

[MidnightRambler13]

Didn't like it. No tier 2.

[armageddon1981]

I don't disagree with you...it did suck they didn't put tier 2 in it.

[Jakah016]

Haha it has everything in it. also, there is part 2 if you didn't realize that that is where the rest of the tiers are. :)

[effigyoflight]

He went too fast and too slow randomly..... for someone who is there to help keep the beat.... .>.>;;; pretty fail

[PullusPardus]

Kefka attacked the set @ 1:43

[DynaDash]

He did create a monument to non-existence with that.

[PullusPardus]

I like you're Icon, its death of the endless isnt it ?

[DynaDash]

Indeed.

[animalityyy]

Not the set, just the drummer lmao

[gyromancy2]

this one is lame.  Sydney one is better

[infzy]

FFVI <3

[handelsme]

I dont know who the f this orcastra is but they keep butchering it at 1:43 to just over 2:00, you dont need all that slamming of fking brass it's mainly harmonics and voice with pipe organ played, I can fking barly hear what is suppose to come out with what you've got played

[Jonny2myren]

That´s not the orchestra, thats the drummer in the guest metal-band fucking it up.

[Katana991]

I think this version might be better since it has latin lyrics in it.

[ThatguycalledJoe]

Might just be the quality, but this sounds really sloppy in some parts. I'll stick to the original.

[InfernalApocalypse]

You can thank Youtube's compression for that. :/

[patsupfan]

HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING! I never thought I would live to hear this put to a full-blown orchestra...absolutely blows me away!

[Judhifen]

Whoa! That's some epic music.

[Flumpansamonga]

Epic game featuring epic music.

[Fudgaboutit]

I would have had a heart attack if I had been there. That is some God damn powerful music!

[Fudgaboutit]

And it's low quality! AAAAAAGGGGHHHH!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[drexil14]

i know...its upseting, i want the one from australia

[Fudgaboutit]

I've been desperately looking for a MP3 of this very thing for some time now, and thought my chances of getting one were bleak! And you've just easily allowed to get one!! I LOVE YOU!

[angierre]

Is there a way to get an mp3 of an orchestrated version of Dancing Mad such as this? I've been searching for a while...

[Jonny2myren]

check the description.

[Fudgaboutit]

The MP3 download of this is RIGHT THERE IN THE VIDEO DISCRIPTION! SHEESH!

And no: I'm almost certain now that there's no place to find a proper MP3 of that Stockholm performance. This is probably the only place to find it, and I don't recommend it. It will only make you more sad. The Internet is a big place, though. Maybe it'll turn up somewhere, sometime.

[angierre]

Ah well, thanks all the same. Although I didn't mean necessarily this performance; I would just like to find a good arranged version of the song. Perhaps someday I'll find it.

[Fudgaboutit]

You and me both, my brother. You and me both ... lol

[master0005]

dope.

[Myffie]

Oh my goodness I actually got chills when it started up.

[rainy14]

HOLY CRAP i actually had to tightly grab my laptop battery so i wouldnt fall off my chair .....Astounded

[destroyah3034]

Was there an album recorded from this concert? Just wondering, so I can pick it up hopefully at my local music store either locally or through mail-order.

[Jonny2myren]

Nope, no album :(

[agentkuan]

Anyone know what the choir is singing in the 1st tier?

[LordMalice6d9]

Not sure, all I know is that its in latin.

[Rubrah]

where do you download the mp3? ;D

[clouldstrife]

This is great. I want the MP3

[Shadowthehedgehog999]

dude exellent video top marks ever best thing ever seen

[Jonny2myren]

thx man

[corneliusfingers]

Considering this is a mobile phoen recording this is pretty damn good quality. THanks!

[Jonny2myren]

Thanks! Yeah the sound is pretty good, too bad the video isn´t quite as good.

[wabashii]

I thought the fast part (at 1:40) was done pretty well. Most versions don't speed it up enough. The black mages do it very well of course but it sounds a little off with a band. Has there ever been an orchestral performance with nobuo on a real organ? Now that would be something.

[sloanesky]

The quality is pretty good (for a cell phone), anyone have any idea if the concert itself makes a recording available?

[Jonny2myren]

Im pretty sure they aren´t

[SniperNightOwl]

the vocals are really good.. okay at 1:40-1:50 it sounds like a train wreck... don't like the usage of instruments. Still interesting version of Dancing Mad.

[Withope]

well, the recording quality is so bad, so it's kind of hard to distinguish what the hell is going on when it reaches such a volume.

regardless, this is quite awesome. great to hear an orchestral version of this.

[panterarulez]

the guy on the organ sounds like he was struggling through that fast part. Only Nobuo can play that organ parts in this song.

[agentkuan]

Where is this recording from? And where can we get it?

[Jonny2myren]

Its from Stockholm, recorded with my cellphone.

There´s a link in the description where you can download the video.

[agentkuan]

I'm glad you recorded it. I think it's one of the best boss musics ever. The choir is great.

[DixyHair]

Thanks for recording it, though considering that it was recorded with a cell phone, I can see why the quality was lacking.

[HoobtheNoob]

sweet im an uber machinae fan and i only jsut found this hehe thank you i love u xD

[Jonny2myren]

thank you, i uh...love you too

[MrKlorox]

One of the best tracks from my favorite Final Fantasy game. This makes me want to dig it out and dust it off.

I hope I have a chance to see Play! or a similar high quality video game concert.

[CommanderSavage]

Thats awesome The 1st version of 'Dancing Mad' did'nt have complete lyrics in it, Awesome Video by the way!

[dwsmith]

Amazing; I seriously hope FFVI gets a remake one day; with Dancing Mad at this quality.

[Bocom]

they probably will, but without Machinae Supremacy.

[clandestineone]

That...changed me. I think I might have ascended to a higher plane of existence or something... I must have a cd (or at least some mp3s) of this concert. I'll buy it at a high price...my very soul might even be in the offing...

[Jonny2myren]

Im glad you liked it

[UchihaMadara7]

If you're just after this song, you can find it on I-tunes

[clandestineone]

But not an orchestrated version, right? As far as I know, "Dancing Mad" is only available in MIDI and hard rock form. I WISH they would make a studio recording a la "One-Winged Angel"

[cucca84]

Best game ever.

[dwsmith]

Agreed.

[DoughboyJonesmk2]

With the best soundtrack ever.

[cheeseovision]

This song is great! I wish I knew the lyrics.

[Jonny2myren]

just google it

[VCSythis]

When will Play! release a CD of this.

Sometimes I wonder how dumb these companies are, not knowing what they hold in their vaults.

[geroithe]

ancientzz: i performed it with the choir too! i enjoyed this song the most actually. :P

[ancientzz]

wooo... i luv this song! me performed it in Singapore 2007... haha..

[ForteGSX]

Aside from very terrible quality, I have been waiting for this as well. Thank you for providing this.

[Rhyolith]

Huzzah been waiting for this for the longest time :D
