8-Bit Symphony, Hull City Hall, 15th June, 2019 feat. Hull Philharmonic Orchestra and Robin Tait

[@00Skyfox]

That entire orchestra did such an amazing job! Huge props to the original 8-bit composers, as well as all those who converted the tunes to sheet music for the orchestra.

[@JamesW81]

If I'm not wrong I believe that Rob Hubbard had originally intended his work to be played by an orchestra. It was mostly arranged by him for this performance. Absolutely stunning night it was.

sweet memories

[@parksmush]

Oh man, the day I met my heroes (that includes you Chris😁) It was a beautiful experience and I will cherish the memories.

[@c64audio]

It's a shame days like that have to end...

[@parksmush]

@@c64audio but it's great that we can relive our memories with vids like this one....

[@anttipere7220]

Same! Got many autographs on my breadbin.

[@parksmush]

@@anttipere7220 I met you and I saw the breadbin. I couldn't believe that I didn't think to bring mine.

[@anttipere7220]

Hah! You can see me chatting with the bassist right at the end. I was quite drunk by that time. Hope she didn't mind

[@grazeyphf]

Goose bumps listening to this! Great memorable night.

IK+ around 58:00 is astonishing.. outstanding

[@donncha1]

Wish I'd been there but thank you for putting this up for the backers!

[@OceanLoader]

Backed the project (and Symphony Pro) but never made it to the gig. Hull might've been awkward to get to from Northern Ireland but I had bad sciatic nerve pain at the time and sitting there for any length of time would've been too much!

[@howardknibbs3424]

I so wish I had been there - hopefully one day there will be one 'down south' :)

[@hgrote]

Oh the memories! It's been an incredible weekend in Hull!

[@PantherUK]

What a great day that was...

[@borayurt66]

An time index of the songs would have been very nice.

bumping to this just made my day ! ONE LOVE c64!

[@massiveprogressive9488]

I only live down the road from Hull, how did I not hear about this back in 2019? I hope there's another one of these planned. I'll definitely go to that one :D

[@c64audio]

Alas, probably not in Hull. But maybe somewhere else...

[@fozzee6999]

1 hour and 16 minutes in and the amazing Monty on the Run High score tune is played like a John williams score! Also Commndo High score!

[@MadCat-75]

thank you for this treat in this times!

[@huaweiphone4357]

And epic job! Thank you so much for sharing your passion.

[@FeenieVonKarma]

What they did was a really lovely thing, but I was surprised not to hear Sanxion, or Warhawk, or indeed Delta - maybe they could have rolled them into 1 for a "shooter suite". But those are my favourites and it's a shame not even one of them was there. Really appreciated the Forbidden Forest one tho!

[@c64audio]

Sanxion, Rob thinks it would be disappointing with an orchestra and refused to allow it anywhere near. Delta, Rob thinks there's "not enough musical meat", and Warhawk is someone else's... but you should check out 8-Bit Symphony Pro: Second Half pre-order for a lot more stuff.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Excellent, but I wish they had put a text box at the bottom of the screen to tell us what each song was from (and who the original SID author was, what game, etc). [edit: I guess I should have watched more of the video before commenting! Still, a time jump for each song would be cool.]

Mais il ne peut pas le faire à ta place malheureusement

[@adroharv9213]

I'm think in fairness these don't do the originals justice. That's not to say that I think orchestrated arrangements don't or that all the pieces here are worthless but they could be better in capturing the essence of those mighty pieces. Some of it works beautifully and other parts less so. That said it's not the easiest of tasks Still I'm sure it was a decent night for all

[@kke]

The dr symphonic orchestra c64 medley kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrEmqCBl5t5fpI was significantly better in my opinion, of course it's just a medley and the audio quality in this recording plays a part in it,. The studio versions are available for purchase only via the links in the description.

[@adroharv9213]

@@kke yeah it's all so wonderfully realised here. Fantastic. Interestingly only Shadowfire isn't 'borrowed' as I'm guessing Richard Joseph nodded heavily towards the great Conan the Barbarian score and both International Karate and Monty on the Run are 'borrowed' as well. I think they all sound significantly better as you say and Shadowfire is even more of a belter here. Thanks for the heads up

[@myjunkarea5808]

Not a big deal but pls remove ")" from first URL. ;)

[@kke]

It's great and all, but sorry to say, I've heard a lot better arrangements of SID tunes.

[@c64audio]

This comment is great and all, but, sorry to say, I've seen a lot better comments on C64-related KZbin videos.
