This was actually the last movie in the "Man With No Name" trilogy with Clint Eastwood teaming up with filmmaker Sergio Leone. It also had the biggest budget of the 3 movies by far. Leone wanted to continue making these movies with Eastwood, but Clint wanted to move on, although he had previously acted in the western TV series "Rawhide" and was to act in more westerns after that.

The climactic finale to Sergia Leone's "The Man With No Name" trilogy, preceded by "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For A Few Dollars More".

The movie's climax takes place in a cemetery where a stash of gold is hidden in a grave - hence The Ecstasy of Gold - and the three main characters (the Good, the Bad and the Ugly) are all after it. So it's the soundtrack of a man running through a cemetery trying to find the right grave before the others do.

[@KublaVeruca]

"The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" is the last in a trilogy of movies directed by Sergio Leone and staring Clint Eastwood. The first movie, "A Fist Full Of Dollars" was a remake of Akira Kurosawa's, "Yojimbo". In this time frame westerns popularity had waned. But, there was a resurgence of the genre in Europe, specifically Italy. Dubbed, "Spaghetti Westerns", were mostly looked down upon in the U.S. This trilogy is arguably the best of them. Leone was a real visionary and had a real romanticized view of the American frontier. Eastwood wasn't interested, until he read the script, and as he was a fan of Kurasawa's work agreed to be, "The Man With No Name". And finally the amazing score by Ennio Moricone. This scene in the movie is beautiful. Not something you would see in an American movie, especially then. The movie is silent except for the score, and it's just a guy running through a graveyard...it's operatic...

The actual title of the song is “The Ecstacy of Gold”. It was the title song for the movie “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” The good the bad and the ugly were the 3 main characters that were semi working to find some stolen gold. The wah-wah girl is an excellent opera singer in her own right. Gotta watch the movie starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. The Italians loved westerns and when they started making their own they were called Spaghetti Westerns. Sergio Leone was a premier director and Ennio Morricone was the songwriter. The music was always top notch movie specific, none of that cheating out trying to wedge a popular song into the movie. This was one of a Trilogy that Eastwood did called The Man With No Name trilogy. The other two were A Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More. For a humorous Spaghetti Western watch the Trinity trilogy

The song you reacted to in this clip was part of a concert performed by the DNS entitled "The Duel - Morricone Draws First". It featured several other compositions by Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, For a fist of Dollars amd A few dollars more to name a few) as well as Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota and Sonny Bono. All the songs were writtan for particular movies. The "hanged man" was a reference the Clint Eastwood movie "Hang "em High". The concert took place in 2018 and was conducted Sarah Hicks. The vocals were performed by Tuva Semmingsen (The "Wah wah" lady) & Christine Nonbo Andersen (The blond lady in the balcony). I heard this song while watching the movie in about 1968 when I saw the "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" at a theater for the first time. 54 years is a long time for memories of a movie to stay fresh.

[@davestang5454]

Pretty sure that "the hanged man" is a reference to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" as "the hanging scam" carried out by "Blondie" and "Tuco" was a big part of the story. "The Ecstasy of Gold" theme deals with the climactic final scenes of the movie when "Tuco" is driven almost mad in his pursuit of the buried loot.

[@davestang5454]

The hanged man is in reference to the plot of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", in which Blondie and Tuco ran a scam operation. Blondie turned in Tuco to the local sheriff of a town, collected the reward, waited for the day of Tuco's hanging and then helped Tuco to escape the execution. "Hang 'em High" is NOT a "spaghetti western and has nothing to do with the "Man With No Name" trilogy, "A Fist Full of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", filmed in that order.

Leave it to Lex to immediately notice the soprano in the upper balcony. She's not even mic'd up, and she just cuts through all of it. Epic piece, perfectly delivered. And as everyone else already said (a year ago LOL), the movie is what makes sense of the entire piece. Watch it. Please. LOL

[@hermanrobak1285]

The soprano does have a tiny microphone attached to her head. By the way; Lex went for the two first notes, jokingly, and sounded like a decent mezzo soprano.

Great trilogy of movies.

The woman singing the "wah-wahs" did it along with the harmonica, as it was done in the original recording.

[@howardbarnett6452]

The voice is an instrument in itself. A trumpet doesn't have words, but you can enjoy the beauty of the sound.

Ennio Morricone is one of the greatest musical composers of the 20th century- end of, and the best soundtrack composer of all time.

[@olliegueret2963]

THE BEST ITALIAN MOVIE EVER MADE!!!

Ecstasy of Gold (the second half of this video) is one of my all time favorite tunes. The Danish Symphony are superb but nobody sings it like Susanna Rigacci. Also, Metallica do a great cover.

[@DerEchteBold]

Metallica did a cover? I know it's always been their intro song, but they don't really play any of it themselves ...or do they?!

I envy Brad & Lex for getting to see this for the first time together. It's an extraordinary example of one of the many ways music can be made by talented people!

[@adenauerlemos7926]

To fully understand the grandeur of it all, you have to know the work of Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone. A partnership that changed the Western genre forever. Italian Director American actors Filming in Spain The famous Spaghetti Western It made Clint Eastwood one of the biggest stars of the genre.

Lex has a fantastically beautiful and powerful voice. I heard it just in the brief moment she mimiced the singers.

[@Climpus]

Yes, I heard that too...

Posted 4 minutes ago, comment 2 minutes ago, "Great reaction guys!" the reaction however is over 9 minutes long.. seems legit buddy!

[@Krunxx1]

A lot of their reactions are recorded during their live streams. there is a good chance they watched it then.

[@jarmolehtonen493]

Classic movie with Clint Eastwood!!!

[@hazi5961]

Just watch the movie and it all will make sense.

[@kenwelch198]

Watch the movie this piece is from. It'll all make sense. One of the best western films ever made!

[@Noblemand]

Gives me chills...every freaking time...sending me straight back to the movie. Even though this version is too "clean" a sound. The original "dusty" sound is better, like listening to an LP you heard many times

[@aaronarnold7653]

Aloha, Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach...epic. A Fist Full of Dollars, A Few Dollars More...oh and the WaaWaa lady can sing in her own right...

[@lance1097]

Goosebumps. This the ecstasy of gold

[@2012mrrapture]

Probably the best Western ever made in the 60s. CLASSIC. CLINT EASTWOOD. WATCH IT. AWESOME.

[@David-su4is]

I friggin love this song! Ever since I first watched The Good The Bad and The Ugly when it released back in the 70s. I (well my older brother) owned the sound track and played it to death.
