VGL - Halo 2 and 3 at Yale

[RapToX1337]

God damn it ... everyone in this orchester deserve's a kiss!

[motorcaboose]

This song makes me go try hard in mw2

[TonyCryosVideos]

21 doesn't have ears..

[TheVaiso]

@TonyCryosVideos

21 *don't have ears

[gamerlive97]

i liked at the start of 2:22 that us my favorite halo theme

[fireoil]

my seoncd part of my child hood, after MGS

[Mpyroblast]

I'm neutral when it comes to halo, but this music i can always listen to

[JellyBellyDeli]

@Mpyroblast

My thoughts exactly. The campaigns were okay and the multiplayer was fun for a while, I think the music is timeless.

[99clemsonfan]

that sounded like marty o donnell was there himself and conducted that lol.

[XxBrixGuyxX]

this music gives me goose bumps! in a good way lol

[gamerneon]

dude your so fucken lucky to be there!!! XD but thanks that you rec. bc i bet you just wanted to just be sitting listen to them then rec.ing lol

[troyligginsjunior]

well... if only i were a part of this :l...

[sauronmanfavs]

jalar :(

[spells14]

this video has giving me chills for 3 years. just watched it again and it never fails. ty vgl.

[TrialByTears]

Lmao, is that a cow bell I hear at like 3:47?

[TheVman20121]

@TrialByTears

no, it was a break drum

pretty much a metal part of the car wheel

[Aresftfun]

I miss the old fuckin times. iff someone would like to contact me on a game better then halo 3, not including MW2, then go at it, i will be slightly amused. fuckin haters.

Bungie fanboy 4 life

[Pr3tat0r]

@Aresftfun halo 3 odst

[Aresftfun]

its online sucks, or I dont like that you cant join games, but the campaigns good (:

[IridescentChitin]

@Aresftfun I think you might have described MW1&2 bud.

[Aresftfun]

Oh, woops. haha.

[ericbeazley]

@Aresftfun hell ya!!!

[GrandpaBaner]

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 isn't even better.

[MrPivotPie]

@Aresftfun a game better than Halo 3 is halo 3: odst and the beta for reach that comes with odst

[Aresftfun]

@MrPivotPie Actually, I didnt really like ODST. The campaign was amazing, but it didnt have matchmaking and the grenades felt wierd. But I know for a fact that Reach will be the most amazing thing I have ever played in my life. The ending will probably make me cry, and the beginning will make me interested in the gameplay. The middle will keep me occupied in the quest for the truth, and I will love the multiplayer.

[Absalutly06]

@Aresftfun

Since Halo Reach is already released..

HOLY CARP DID YOU JUST PREDICT HOW HALO REACH WOULD'VE BEEN?

[Aresftfun]

@Absalutly06 AND I was right. :p

(Except I played a game after that that was my favorite game. Can you guess what it was?(Waits ten seconds)

OCARINA OF TIMEEEEE!!!!!)

[animefinalfantasyix]

sniff..sniff..it's so beautiful...awsome i always love the Halo 3 theme the best because it can be played in many shapes and forms(piano,guitar....ect.)

love the music!! :)

[datonejuggalo]

damn good people should get payed 4 this

[Aresftfun]

lol, they do.

[hanseykemmerer]

im crying this music is so beatiful

[prankz617]

like wtf.. sounds like im listening to it from the game.. PERFECTT!!!!!! ♥

[Mattchuba08]

i think it sounded fine with the guitar, the song had basically ended, so him coming in wasnt that bad. =/

[XblackbunnyofdeathX]

I think that the halo3 song is better than all the rest

[Jshizzle2]

yes.. the piano tops it off i love it so much sometimes i wait to play the game just 2 hear it lol

[deiuos]

*starts slow clap*

[MrHuntingHawk]

godamn i wish i went to one of these.... im tearing up from halo 3 :''''''''''')

[masterchieffan]

"Ghosts of Reach" is the first part

[Upgaminginfo]

i think the halo 3 theme it the best . i mean every time the paino part comes i get goosebumps

[bsbungie]

I don't agree at all, but to each his own.

[CylonCenturian]

It sounds perfect. Take a second to think its being recorded from 50 yards away you fucking child.

[Aeoxins]

Take a second to think it's a FUCKING ELECTRIC GUITAR.

[ssbbFTW76]

Take a second and listen to the FUCKING HALO 1 VERSION NO FUCKING GUITAR DUMBSHIT!

[J03L14]

actually i believe they switched to halo 2 hence the electric guitar. peace man.

[PoppingPOPcans]

stfu 8=D face

[Bloodcider]

I went to one of these shows back in November. You're right, Tallarico sucks. He ballsed up some other songs too.

[CocaColaKidCool]

Agreed, every time I go to VGL It's freaking awesome... until he come on stage with his electric guitar...ugh...

Other thank that it's great, though.

[austinthebookworm5]

@Aeoxins

agreed!! symphonic music FTW

[nirrvar]

This is the best halo live sound ive heard!

[slaterohm]

awesomely done, loved the video compilation also.

good shit :)

[jeffreychen24]

EPIC.

[jeffreychen24]

epic.

[abcdefg6195]

that is awsome

[lees12901]

my school's orchestra did this and we had a few people do the ohs and ahs. the conductor was conducting with a glow stick and the the orchestra members had a black light for their light. otherwise it was dark the rest of the time.

[dontfreakinask]

damn

that musta been tight

[Majikfish]

*spine shivers* wow, this looks awesome, If I can get a ticket for the london show, i'm there!

[chmatt5]

[pokersnickerdoodle]

[ZeehulkRee]

[xxtompreecexx]

[pancakes3600]

[xxtompreecexx]

[xwawas]

isnt this real enough for u?

[darklynx69]

the real halo theme? seemed real to me...

Sorry to inform you that everything in life doesnt come with a meat rod to gnaw on ='(

[dontfreakinask]

[RIKIJ100]

[EdgeKrusher335]

they should have added the electric guitar it would have sounded cooler!!

[RamenJutsu]

is that camera broke?

[renfield250]

your such a liar, your a attention seeker.

[NiNjAStAtUs2]

this show was amazing. i was there in the top balcony kinda in the middle. i almost started crying when they played this lol.

[APinCF1224]

holy crap i just crapped myself this was so good

[321saskura]

What other songs did they play?

[PixelFire0]

Gosh every time I watch VGL I get goosebumps =) Very good performance.

[Jimin4746]

im gettin friggin goose bumps lol awesome.

[toolapc12]

wonderful

chills chills

[FallenTempest]

I would have to agree with Torcolo86 the beginning does the same for me.

[torcolo86]

EPICO

[torcolo86]

Mi fa venire la pelle d'oca...Halo forever...

[bsbungie]

I'm not sure why you are being thumbed-down, a casual translation of what you wrote is "this makes my hair stand on end" which is a good thing. ;) Grazi!

[armydude08]

Words cannot describe that! SHIT! That gave me chills like I've never had before.

Epic.

[ThECaTsBarK]

Omg O_o

[HALOWARS103]

this makes me sooooooooooooo happy:) good times good times

[STRING3R]

lol, love how everyone stands up at the end, no-one did that for any other game shown there.

[Vitrous]

Yeah, probably because it was the last one. Just a hunch.

[piratesquirtmomo]

this was seriously AMAZING!!

[arsenal140]

oh god i love halo

[enderjsvl]

I could listen to this till my ears bleed.

[spells14]

gave me chills

[ortixx]

amazing.. no words.

[hsu912174]

I feel sorry for the musicians, for having to read under that lighting condition.

[Sn0wc4t]

I THINK they use some kind of backlit tft/tablet PC setup that displays the pages rather than traditional manuscript.

Ever notice how you NEVER see a musician turning the page? They can't be playing the entire concert from memory! 8-S

[hsu912174]

Man, I would like to have one of those on my stand, especially for a bassist who has the stand to himself and has to take care of everything on his own.

[carmelallstar]

its comming to indy, got tickets, my father is the chairman of the board, im sure we will have great seats

[BlueNinjaBE]

I'm stunned. Awesome.

[gamerk1d51]

i know this may sound far fetched, but my dad (was stage tech for VGL) is actually friends with tommy tallarico, and i got to eat dinner with him and got to visit a little bit with michael salvatori after the Milwaukee Riverside Theater preformance. it was really cool to tak with mr salvatori about the soundtracks for halo and the themes for the different parts of halo, because it reely let me know how he got the ideas and how they finalized the final halo theme.

[SI13NTWA1K3R]

nice

[paulmaravelias]

gamerk1d51: You got to meet Mike? Wow.

[justtogetby23]

yay yale....going there...yes i am bragging...yay...2012

[OilersKickArses]

ok, nm, i didnt look at the end of the video, lol

[OilersKickArses]

this is kool, but its only the halo theme and "the last spartan" at the begginning

[G0dly0ne]

haha I was there...

and my band conducter was there playing.

[francy94]

very good

[CrimsonBeauty23]

Yay, I can't wait to play this at my high school's spring festival! =D Even though we don't have any string instruments to make it sound exactly like this, it is so much fun to play x3

[halflifeman9000]

DUUUUUDE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Riushinn]

awsome

[matrixbullettime2]

this was in Dallas Texas right?

because i was thare and thay said the same things thare so what he says is the truth

you wont be disappointed

[bsbungie]

Yale is in Connecticut.

[Drakedragon1315]

what a duch...lol Dallas... wtf

[zanzibarfox]

the..univeristy of boston in...texas? LOL.

man people need to get off the internet and live more!

[leghaia]

Theres a University of Phoenix in Jacksonville, FL

[domanater1]

wow!

[Defiant5555]

in the future only advertisements will contain music. This is a dark omen

[Kugglelovesanime9]

k thanks.

[Kugglelovesanime9]

hey what does VGL stand 4 anyway? :p

[pwnterz]

video game live

[hawker271]

didnt u see the huge green pixel in the back ;D

[Foe117]

To Critique...

The tempo was faster than it should have been given that he (the conductor) was in that epic hype while conducting. I beleive i did hear the choir trying to catchup to the tempo

[STRING3R]

If halo is overated, dont you think it would have to be pretty good in the first place?

[malumvolo]

Halo DOES have one of the best soundtracks in a video game ever!

Martin O' Donnel Rules!

[rtggeorge]

Halo has one of the best themes of all video games

[CR1SIS]

i agree, i likeder fable's soundtrack to in the beginning.. (it became annoying after 50 hours of total play) and oblivion's song sounds cool to :)

[malumvolo]

I agree

[CR1SIS]

the music is the magic behind this game.. without it it was probably just a FPS. but still.. a damn good one :D :D who wants to challenge me?

[Wraith343]

It's Amazing How Good This Sounds Compared To The Real Thing.

[halo3ownd]

Notice how everyone is cheering for halo

[Jabaswt]

I'm sorry to tell you, your comment isn't going to change the minds of millions who purchased/play it.

[xenoyautja]

i know

and i dont care really

[NickithTheGreat]

I completely agree with you. I have no doubt that Halo wouldn't have become such a huge game as it is without it's soundtrack. Especially the main theme.



Being a composition major, my philosophy is that the music makes the game.

[demonwx10]

agree but i strongly agree that u forgot the major components to the game such as the story itself, which is an outstanding imagination, the gameplay is very fun and will keep you hooked for hours, graphics are amazing and the soundtracks (which i acually take time to listen to) which makes what halo is today. bungie did an outstanding job!

[S2000TypeRVTEC2]

To summarize: Halo is overrated.

[pudgypoultry]

Maybe, but mainly the only games above it are Call of Duty 4 and the classics, it is way up there, but it is slightly overrated

[rtggeorge]

The entire Halo game series summed up is better than most games including COD4, but some of the classics are better.

[halofreak200715645]

SURVEY SAYS:

EEEEEHHH!!!!!!!!

WRONG!!!!

you're overated!!

[S2000TypeRVTEC2]

And this survey is from where?

If you're assuming that I'm a Halo hater, I'm not. All I'm saying is that it got way too much hype than it deserves (ex. the "Believe" ads).

[daoldschool55]

no i think he was refering to halo being one of those most popular games year and i think halo is a bit just like a molcule overrated

[halofreak200715645]

once again: that hype is to get people "hyped", exicted, etc, the universal language of exitment and suspense: halo.

[dv8raptor]

why? because it became the first game to own on a consoul that nobody thought would be good?

[S2000TypeRVTEC2]

I own one of those consoles and the game you guys are valiantly defending from ANY sort of criticism.

I'll just let this die now; it seems the stench of fanaticism is fouling the air.

[dontfreakinask]

does anyoneknow where i can find an mp3 version of the theme song that doesn't have the guitar in it?

[Wraith343]

Search for Halo Theme MJOLNIR

[TheTurboNerd]

Halo still pwns. Especially the music.

[yalehudson]

my name is yale

[givealaugh]

ha! cool

[dontfreakinask]

that is tight

[FlamingArcher]

each time i hear the choir part...it gives me goose bumps

oh and the first part isnt the MAIN theme...its "The Ghosts of Reach"

and then it goes to the middle of "The last Spartan" Then it goes to "Halo" but it finishes off with the Halo 2 style choir then it goes to "Finish the Fight" (the halo 3 theme)

[goldman441]

i get goose bumps to at the same part lol

[lpug221]

haha same here

[kevrev0]

The music here is kinda weird. It sounds like the halo 3 theme song but its different. Its from the first E3 trailer. Does anyone know what is called? Or is this just an older version?

[FlamingArcher]

look at my recent post, this was an arrangement of several halo songs. I list which ones.

[WaterBoi1991]

That gave me Goosebumps :P it was awesome loved it

[CanadianCanabis]

that was fuckin awsome

[danielaung691]

if its yale then it has to be good for a 50000$ a year school

[bulmer13]

nerdtacular!

[LlamaxLuverxx]

okay, that was AMAZING. I love Halo music. Urg, now i wanna play Halo 3 -.- But, yea, it was perfect.

[Chizpurfle52595]

i KNEW this had to exist somewhere! omg this is fucking great!!! i love the choir! OMG TOMMY'S AMAZING ON GUITAR!!!! i love how they both jump down!

[milkmoster99]

the halo music is just incredible. just as good as any of the best movie soundtracks. martin o'donnell is a god.

[bassil89]

wut does Halo mean?

[AbooMan]

halo is that round thing that angels have around their heads. so in the halo games the rings soars above planets like halos on an angel

[bassil89]

o ok soo is it famous at all it seems like a dumb game i dont know why anyone woould play

[Mafia2223]

Dumb? what are you fucking stupid try the dumdest game to have over 1 million ppl playing it the day it comes out halo 3 is the best games since Halo2

[mattsterv1]

Have you been living under a rock this whole time? Do a little homework before you go into a page like this and call a game like Halo 'dumb'. Almost everyone who watches this video has played the game at least once and recognizes it. The way you come up here bashing on such a great game just makes yourself sound stupid and prone to flames like this one. XD

[mattsterv1]

By the way, 'Halo' does not have angels in it. The guy above was merely explaining about the large superstructure where most of the game is centered around and is shaped like a halo.

[25cent88888]

i dont no what planet uve been living on cause....HALOS FUKIN AWESOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its not just a game...it's my life

[napilopez]

I've never even really played any of the Halo games, amazing as that may be. However I do recognize it has some of the best videogame music EVER. Amazing.

[dracosummoner]

-> napilopez: God has indeed blessed Halo's composer, Martin O'Donnell.

[kevrev0]

You should try them. They're really good.

[sk8er1490]

Damn those guys got it perfect, I looked away from the video and it seemed like Halo's intro was playing on my TV because it sounded so great. I wish I was musically adept and junk... damn.

[EriDaiho]

awesome!!! SOOO EPIC!! AMAZING HALO THEME SONG!!

[Toonman93]

That was an awesome finally. Halo has some great music right up there next to John William's Star Wars theme.

[InsAInCroManiaCk]

GOSE BUMPS! XD

so badly insain

[MerrickChun]

i don't find the halo games that great, but the music does pwn

[hysteria544]

sweeeeeeet.

[cubefreak93]

Halo owns. period.

[Wingu84]

Awesome concert. Too bad with all the lightning though, it ruins some of it.

[Wingu84]

Also too bad with all the people screaming constantly -_-

[DonutRules]

god that gave me goosebumps, it was epic

[alecsays]

goooosebumpsssssssssss
