Video Games Live: 10. Halo Suite [High Quality]

[RDMBLKGUY]

hearing halo LIKE A BOSS

[iceteaguy]

Whenever people try to argue that video game music isn't real music, I direct them to Marty O'Donnell Halo. They always change their mind.

[Jafetator]

when they come here to mexico lpast year i had multiple orgasme just when tommy said Halo XD and then it started and the crowd went fucking crazy and aaaaaa fucking orgasm!!!

[RADAMANTHYS117R]

This musica is from valhalla U_U fuck yeah

[rsheppard97]

wait your tenth grade band is playing this. our 8th grade band played this last year. lol

[ChrisTheShortKid]

I'm playing this with my school's wind ensemble and I must say, the french horn parts are beautiful.

[BronyChris]

Wow, this makes me mad, sad, and incredibly happy; My schools grade ten band gets to play this (Well, not exactly this version).

And I'm stuck in grade twelve with frickin "Pirates of the Caribbean".

[predality]

massa pra caralho

halo é foda

[Critiqu3]

I played this on cello with my orchestra... FREAKING STRING CROSSINGS

I loved it :D

[TOPOyeyo222]

Hearing the Halo theme reminds me of sucking ass at multiplayer and dying on co-op in 5 seconds.

[MultiHalohalo]

we played this in band

[SpaceHampsterN7]

wish they the whole thing minus the guitar, though its good it makes me want to drink mountain dew and eat xtreme doritos

[FluffykinsTheSerious]

This is not just music. This is art.

[NixonFilm]

HELL YEAH

[crazybunni3g1rl]

Ahhhhh I'm playing this is my orchestra this year. So Excited. Only a Performing arts high school would allow this XD

[Zillalibitina]

@crazybunni3g1rl Our orchestra just got this piece today. It's defiantly one of the more exciting pieces.

[waltdisney19282008]

5 people can not handle the sheer epicness of HALO and just died.... oh and they can't Finish The Fight

[galacon28]

you know for a video game this is one of the most wonderful and outstanding peacies of music ive ever heard of its not just a soundtrakc its a mix of generations of music all in this one song...

[crankitup58]

First of all, my band performed this piece at one of our concerts, and all of the adults were in complete shock when our conductor announced that we were playing halo suite, and were equally blown away by how awesome the song is. Second, I totally agree with you, Varzin13, video games are a form of music, whether people recognize it or not. there's nearly always that subtle background music playing, which hints at the mood of the situation. Thumbs up for gaming!

[britishboyism]

@crankitup58 my bands playing this and also civilization combined it sounds amazing!

[lilmiksta]

thumbs up if you think this should be the credits song for halo 10th anniversary!

[FabianMaskMurderer]

5 People are COD fags. This song is so amazing I LOVE IT!!!!

[HALOMANIACALEX]

I cried at the end because it was to epic it hurt! ; )

[Taislinmaosdela]

Fuck yeah the trumpet at 5:51 is eargasmic!

[Arkain9]

1:52 Click It

[muso123456]

guitar ruins the whole thing >.<

[younggunsfan]

Officialy starts at at 1:42

[B00F100]

is steve vai playing on this version?

[tarmilaweck]

@B00F100 Since it's Video Games Live, that's almost certainly Tommy Tallarico playing.

[Blastorm26]

Which Halo songs does this take pieces from?

[AquaPhoenix2006]

@Blastorm26 I think all 3 Halo themes

[Thedeoradude]

@Blastorm26 mainly a rewrite of "halo" from the original game, mixed in with "walk in the woods" "last spartan" and a little of the high charity suite.

[TheWendarno63]

i'm hoping to go to the toronto performance

[littledannyd93]

When I went to see Video Games Live Marty O'Donnell himself introduced this live over skype, it was totally awesome.

[sniperspriggs]

I love playing this on my bass!!!!!!!

[IdahoAirsofters]

@littlemontev that could b true thx

[hippiehaircut]

Would sound much better without the guitar. It really ruins what would be an awesome version of this song

[IdahoAirsofters]

@13gma lol I'm in 7th grade and I'm plain this

[littlemontev]

@IdahoAirsofters not the real one and im playing it in ninth grade, your probably playing a version that was arranged

[13GMA]

We just got this piece in my high school band. It gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it.

[LtHeltors4763]

I can't wait to the VGL here!!! in MEXICO!!!!

[greengurl579]

im playin this in my band class....i would say were just as good as this...but id be lyin...

[realbieped]

@greengurl579 godley high school?

[danooob96]

How could anyone possibly like pop after listening to all these video game music?

[Panjaquomi]

DAT TIMPANI

[differ97sezons11]

@SpartanG072 YES.

[SpartanG072]

screw star trek or star wars when man discovers another earth like planet they need to play Halo

[Hakkar6993]

@xsonicsd These songs are from the live that aired on PBS right? How come I didn't find any One Winged Angel on CD rips nor on the blu ray rip, even though it's on the trailer? o/e

[xsonicsd]

@Hakkar6993

No, it's the official CD Vol.1 which is (or was due to Vol. 2) offered for sale at the concerts. For more infos check here (remove the blanks) h t t p : / / t i n y u r l . com/6f9r4f8

[Hakkar6993]

@xsonicsd Oooh, okay thanks.

[UltraPrimus]

I couldn't hear that clearly, My ears would not stop Cumming

[mirurg]

We're playing this in our band at the moment. I've never been this happy to receive music sheets before.

I still remember the first time I heard the Halo theme, and I got goosebumps all over. <3

[UltraPrimus]

@mirurg I agree, the bit's like at 1:55 send Shivers down my Spine

[MrVonKillGore]

@mirurg My god! This is the second comment I've seen saying their school band played songs from their favourite video games! Me and my band teacher are going to have a serious talk >:(

(luckey....)

[jessebrie03]

i am SO wearing my halo armor to this event!

[wilbyfilms]

I dont really like Halo but god damn the soundtrack rocks!

[Oreomeister]

please re-release this without the stupid ass guitar

[MrBoblebob]

@Oreomeister the guitarist is the god damn best guitarist in the world. steve vai, he IS the best guitar player. i was listening to he's songs on spotify when spoted this song. you don't like him, then you don't like guitar.

[EmoWolfMaster]

ya ima play this in band and i play the french horn so i feel pretty lucky that my band teacher would pick this song!

: )

[Q9Productions]

My highschool band played thisfor our spring concert one year. I got to play the main part from 1:23-1:46 as a solo.

[BlackHawkGaming]

Was it Chris Kline, I believe, who took lead guitar? Because I found this on his website discography. It was the only song under the CD Video Games Live. Just wondering, thanks!

[MrBoblebob]

@BlackHawkGaming steve vai, i saw it on spotify. he is the best guitar player on earth, factualy ^^

[Oreomeister]

@MrBoblebob steve vai plays on the Halo 2 album version, not this. Ur wrong.

[Thedeoradude]

see the covonant were wrong about worshiping the fourunners

it was Marty they should have worshiped

[Bokura63]

...Guitar ruins it. =/

[DarkMephiles]

@Bokura63 No.......No.....Just...No.

[Rambowjo2]

5:08 reminds me of American Beauty

[femoman]

6.01-6.37 - "This is the way the world ends." Well, if it's that big an explosion of pure epicness, I don't mind!

[femoman]

@TheLegatoblue Oh hell yes.

[ZacEffron]

Me: Look grandchild, its your grandpa's old Halo Reach!

Kid: Grandpa, thats from 2010... its 2078 now.

Me: JUST TRY IT ON MY OLD XBOX 360

Kid: Ooo how do I use this controller here?

Me: Lemme show ya. There. Now PLAY

Kid: OMG WHAT HAVE VIDEOGAMES DEGRADED TO TODAY?!

Me: Told ya ;D

[kasem1065]

@ZacEffron How do I turn on this new fangled system?

Kid: Jeez grandpa, Its thought activated, just turn it on with your mind.

[jaggedkill]

im going to show my kids someday halo 3 and they are gonna be like DAD THATS OLD GAMES and im gonna be like SHUT THE FUCK UP

[xsonicsd]

@jaggedkill

Hahaha yeah that's the fate for many of us. xD

And not only for Halo....

Thanks for your comment. :-)

[TheRealAxelFury]

@jaggedkill Well, My father used to listen to Led Zeppelin ; Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa an other stuff, and as i grew up i never seen them as OLD, i saw them as the origin from wich all i play and liste now has iit's roots.

Is like watching some Black and White movie: if something is great no matter the age, it will still kick ass.

[jaggedkill]

@TheRealAxelFury I love that Kind of Music Man And im 15 Bro.

[MrBoblebob]

@TheRealAxelFury steve vai, playes in this song, i don't realy like halo but after finding this song among steve vai on spotify, i think i'm gonna play it som more ^^

[jessebrie03]

@jaggedkill that's where you say "can kick your ass" lol

[RyuHoly]

@jaggedkill i agree man in the far future there's gonna be something way ahead of our time now im sad :(

(Dad thats old games(siff siff)

[jaggedkill]

@RyuHoly Dont Be Sad We got a Whole Universe To Explore man!

[Enivekdax17]

@jaggedkill mean thing to say to your kids but i laughed so hard when i read tht!!!

[MrRileyI777]

@jaggedkill

That's how it is unfortunately. =-D

[UIIndustries]

@jaggedkill i am afraid of that day....

[MrCommandomonkey]

@jaggedkill I don't know. I mean if some asked me to play mario I would totally play. Because some games just stay awesome :D and its been what 4-5 years since the last console (not including the kinect and PlayStation Move) I think we are getting close at perfecting games and their systems. In fact I think games will reach their highest technological limit in 10 to 12 years :) Cheers to the future!

[TheGreatEye]

Damn that fucking awful soft rock guitar - it absolutely ruins an otherwise good orchestral performance.

Learn from Hollywood: electric guitars and symphonic orchestra do not work and should NEVER be mixed.

Thanks for uploading though.

[jaggedkill]

@TheGreatEye Metallica S&M Dont lie to Yourself

[mjacecombat]

I LOVE IT!!!

[forgeclaw]

5:00 WTF???

[vidcirman666]

The thing with symphony music is that it takes too long to get going for me to enjoy it more thene occasionaly.... It's a shame too :(

[bassguitarguy5555]

das ist etwas besonders gut... VGL kommt zu Chicago bald. Ich gehe schliesslich!

[antonio10901994]

this song is really good but I personally think the Civilization song is better

[altaircz]

now tell me, so if video games taken over the all arts groups (not counting the movies :)) in sales and most of people are shamed to talk about them, because they still see it like nerds fun, not like an art how its looks like in these days

[Thecalebguy]

I love you, Enough said.

[bpenda94]

what's the song at 1:26 called?

[98sibuna]

@bpenda94

It's variation of "The Last Spartan", from Halo 2 soundtrack vol.1

[ZodiEmish]

Thumbs up if the people who didn't like this are Wetarded.

[zsternin1]

@ZodiEmish

If you're gonna be an asshole and make a pointless comment, at least get your console wars gayness spelling right. Its Wiitard you retard.

[ZodiEmish]

@zsternin1 Funny because I was not making a refrence to the Wii.. I used Wetarded because it would be an insult to the mentaly disabled community if I called the people who did not like this retarded... But keep thinking what you want if it makes you feel better.

[stevensullivan603]

my mom is one of the voices in the choir. coolest gig shes ever had

[JaredTheTwitch]

Seems like a bastardized form of the music in some parts. I understand the need to 'medley' the tunes but some of the songs worked fine without the electric guitar.

[halffullglassful]

@JaredTheTwitch Yes, but the halo 2 soundtrack had a lot, and I think this medley was mostly based on halo 2. But you got a lot of just orchestral sounds at the end.

[forgeclaw]

i loved the show's songs they rocked mainly mario or WOW

[PCGAMEfreak]

for some reason, each time I go to the bathroom, i played this song in my head. I don't know why, I just do

[Absalutly06]

@PCGAMEfreak

Why does every freaking song that I like fits with a bathroom thing.

GOSH DANGIT ME AND MY..LISTS I GUESS

[PCGAMEfreak]

@Absalutly06 because it the epicness of the song

[Varzin13]

I love this. "Video Games Live" represents a public acknowlegment that video games ARE a form of art; musically, visually, and literary. Video Games are the mark of our generation, the history books will call this "the Video Game Age."

[xsonicsd]

@Varzin13

Well said Varzin... ^_^

Thats the exact same thing i expect, showing you grandson in a future history book, "look son, thats when it all started..", lol. xD

Thanks for your comment!

[kayin72]

@xsonicsd you see son back in my day we needed to blow into video games to make them work and little yellow circles ran around chasing ghost. :P

[xsonicsd]

@kayin72

...or two bars moving up and down while pounding a dot back and forth xD

Thanks man gave me a good laugh... ;-)

[Iaantyne]

Marty O'Donnell's masterpeice.

[jibber102]

I don't care if you don't like Halo; the soundtrack is still boss.

[halffullglassful]

@jibber102 YES!

[TheTraucer]

this makes me feel good inside :)

[NicktheGuitaristz]

My high school symphonic orchestra and band played together for a VGL Medley including this, Advent Rising, Civilizartion IV, and Kingdom Hearts. It was fun.

[Jabberwockxeno]

Now this, THIS is MUSIC!

If a dictonary was made of sounds, this'd be next to Epic.

[Jabberwockxeno]

@Jabberwockxeno That said, this isn't even the full version, they added stuf after 3 and ODST.

maybe we'll get a full one with Reach too.

[eddmario]

@Jabberwockxeno correction, it would be the definition of Epic

[rvw85]

@Jabberwockxeno next to? this would BE epic

[212toothpicks]

They played this and a million other songs in my brothers school. they had the chior the orchestra, the band, the clips from the videogame behind it- the works.

IT. WAS. EPIC. except the guatiars got lost so then it wasn't so epic, but whatevs x}

[zulu012]

We actually got to play this, Kingdom Hearts, and Civilization IV in our High School band, but it didn't sound this good

[Mrmusicman2000]

@zulu012 bummer could have turned out pretty epic.

[Dualityness]

Haha, today in orchestra we sightread a piece named "Instant Recruting Consert" and it had a load of diferent melodys from famous movies and stuff and I got to play the solo of this song on my violin ^-^

[Mrmusicmaster88]

I think we can all say that Halo has the best theme songs of all games in the history of games! Hurrah Marty!

[SamStats722]

Steve Vai is the renown guitarist here

[meeshter24]

We did this for this year's band season. It was awesome.

[tocaracer06]

my high school concert band is going to be doing video games live (halo, civilization iv, final fantasy, myst, advent, and kingdom hearts). its gonna be amazing!!

[ctuliebs]

Mine too, where u from? Do I know you?

[tocaracer06]

@ctuliebs you probably dont know me and im minnesotan =P

[TeoAnteio]

se toglievano la chitarra elettrica era meglio però ...

[abun1991]

I get chills listening to this. It's a great song

[IHATEASPARAGUSSS]

[SaMsINeyda]

[xsonicsd]

Heh, yeah da kann man des natürlich voll auskosten... (bzw. lohnt da die HQ-Version) ^o^

[xsonicsd]

[SaMsINeyda]

[xsonicsd]

Freut mich das es dir gefällt... :-)

[Ryanjustin132]

im in 7th grade prep. band and im playing this i play the clarinet. (i also play the flute but not in this piece)

[VampireDoll131]

Whoo! You play clarinet in band, but you play flute too? YAY! Me too! I'm a Concert Band clarinet and a Marching Band flute. ^^ We're playing this toooo~ Fun stuff.

[Ryanjustin132]

Yeah this song is fun to play. There is just one difficult part in this song when the clarinets and flutes play a melondy. But when you play it like 5 times it becomes easy. =)

[VampireDoll131]

Yup. It's fun stuff.

[twilight444444]

ohh i thought so cause my school is doin that for our concert 2

[jonyrfm]

This was the best show i have ever seen. Totaly epic.

I saw this in my contry, Portugal, in December, and it was great. If you can imagine most of the people there, like me, were crying, living that amazing moment seeing and listen the memories of the great games.

I recomend you to see.

cheers.

[xsonicsd]

I can only agree with you :-D

Esp. the interactive entertainment. Did they also have a Space Invaders gaming, or a running soldier from Metal Gear Solid?

[jonyrfm]

yep ^^.

/watch?v=gIOEtm5giAs&feature=r­elated

/watch?v=3mrBmfkqv6s

/watch?v=-O6dCAJoerc

[xsonicsd]

hahaha, yeah that was it :-D

...the Metal Gear gag was superb...

That why everyone should go watch it, if they get the chance... xD

[jonyrfm]

true true ^ ^

see this one amazing

/watch?v=AuA8n74fOoc&feature=r­elated

[xsonicsd]

You know that was actually the main reason for me to watch VGL xD

Only Master Uematsu had to be there for beeing the ultimate night.

As expected it had to be superb, only funny was (at least when i went), it was the lfinal track, it was Castlevania...

[twilight444444]

sweet i am playing this at school to it's so fun
