"Guardia Millennial Fair" (Chrono Trigger) LIVE Jazz Cover // J-MUSIC Pocket Band

Our live cover of "Guardia Millennial Fair" from Chrono Trigger, originally composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley.
Ha! We had SO much fun with this one! The town fair is in, and of course, it has a band! For those of you who haven't played the game, this is the first place you go to that introduces you to the central theme of this game - time travel. But before that happens, you get to enjoy a few town festivities (like that hammer bell game lol). Our favorite part about doing this cover was getting the audience involved at those key moments that make this song so special - well, with some additions, of course. Pocket Band regular guest, Ben Sutin joins the fray for an incredible solo, as well as some trading between Pat and the virtuosic Jasper Dütz on clarinet - there's even some percussion action going on with Dom! What are you waiting for? Try out Lucca's telepad, and don't get stuck in another time!

[@TheJETification]

I freakin' love that the "HA!" part of this song has still been included. Too great!!

[@bryanquick3349]

killer arrangement of this. also holy shit that violinist is tearing it up my goodness HAH!

[@Skullgrin.]

As much as I love this cover, my arrest shortly after the fair for JRPG crimes will always haunt me.

[@shadowhunter-mi5su]

TLOU 2 fans be scarred when they had to kill a dog, while us CT fans just accidentally ate an old man's lunch and had to go to jail for it, even.

[@Muttblood90]

But I saved that little girls kitty...

[@steeg03]

​@@shadowhunter-mi5su > killing a dog in a game about killing people in the some of the most brutal ways possible is considered shocking

[@jimbrewer5048]

I also patiently waited for my girl to buy whatever she was buying

[@lukeampil4153]

They've started covering Chrono Trigger... it's over for us. WE DEAD.

[@Zephhi]

💀

[@RoyanRannedos]

Actually, you're only dead in a parallel reality. It's a whole other story.

[@DanielWesleyKCK]

That bass player deserves a raise.

[@Bobbias]

I'd say this is such an iconic theme, but all of chrono trigger's soundtrack is, so instead I'll just say amazing work (but you're still hungry).

[@OudeWellington]

Shoutout to the guy in the bottom right corner... he looks so happy it brightens my own enjoyment ^^

[@therhapsodist976]

This makes my day! Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time. Was anyone successful in guzzling more than five sodas?

[@Moki389]

That double bass is going ham in the back!

[@DJLani]

0:56 HuHA I love how everyone knows when the next one is about to happen every time 😂

[@mjgamerboy]

This may be the best performance they've given yet, everyone was super on point. Also that drum solo was incredible, please keep this guy

[@DomPalombiMusic]

thanks for the kind words Mike!!!

[@mjgamerboy]

@@DomPalombiMusic Oh damn I never noticed it was you! Seriously man, this is one of the best, most tasteful drum solos I've ever heard in my life, and I majored in percussion! One day I'll get to this level, but for now thanks for the inspiration!

[@DomPalombiMusic]

@@mjgamerboy hahah with hard work and dedication you wil! Thank you once again man!

[@6kine6tic67]

Near the end when the whole crowd does the HA is so special! God I wanna see these guys live.

[@OdaKa]

I just started playing this game a few days ago! And I love this! How do y'all go from "Hah!" back to playing your instruments so smoothly? Bottomless lungs lol

[@marciamakesmusic]

You breath after you say ha

[@baumaus9014]

I just showed this to my 15-year-old sister (I had her playing this with me since she was like 6), as soon as the melody started, she started jamming hard. xD My love for this game is unmeasurable, and this song is sooo iconic!

[@DJLani]

6:16 tfw the tambourine aint comfortable but you're still on time :kirbylaugh:

[@dallascobb7644]

man ya'll killed this one. great arrangement, great take

[@elite4ever706]

Perfect... Except can we just shift the violinist a tad left. He kinda just pops in and out of frame for the whole video 😅

[@AvianSavara]

"Bah, we'll fix it in post" ;)

[@XlunacyinblackX]

I'm sad I can't be very good friends with all of these people.

[@GustavoHorn]

what a party!!

[@AvianSavara]

I keep coming back to this. Not from notifications, but because I need to. Such a wonderful version so contagious with joy.

[@dadbodgamesquad]

This just makes me smile

[@Onuwachi]

Absolute AMAZING

[@davidwhitney947]

Highlight of my day

[@thegoodgeneral]

Oh man that clarinet solo at 4:57 is so sublime.

[@chrismorozin4145]

Holy moly! Incredible!

[@YophiGames]

How about another Yasunori track "My Village is Number One" from Xenogears. Specifically the Creid version. That sounds similar to this one. If you guys did that!

[@AdianBlack]

I'm playing the remaster of Chrono Cross on switch (loving it, deal with it haters) which makes me want the play Trigger again, which leads me back to this cover :) HA!

[@lftenjamin]

Man I miss these shows so much. Hopefully when things are normal again I can actually go to one of these. Y'all are amazing.

[@Alejkoo]

Flawless!

[@cherrystarscollide]

Thank you, was smiling all the way through watching this

[@Djfreddiettm]

Are you guys still performing on Sundays? I’m not terribly far from NYC and would love to catch you live!

[@CoClock]

Thank you for giving us another one from the Chrono Trigger OST!! You’ve taken one of the ‘normal’ tracks and made it super enjoyable to listen to by giving it that Jazz treatment like no other! HAH!

[@Ranesu]

Great way to start my day! Thank you! You are Awesome! Greetings from Brazil!

[@alan.smitheee]

It's funny how the "most replayed" part of the video are those HA!

[@zivzulander]

Ha!

[@TyrannyStudios]

This is fun!

[@skotunes]

this is so feel good. and the solos are fire across the board. y'all killed it!

[@PurposefulPorpoise]

Outstanding

[@travisplayspiano698]

Epic!

[@eddieyoo569]

Amazing. The way you performed it, it reminds me a lot of the first town theme ("My Village is Number One") from Xenogears (which also featured music by Yasunori Mitsuda).

[@trias418]

not gonna lie, this makes me wish i went back in time and dedicated my life to playing in a berklee combo that had fun playing the games from my youth. but then id have to be a trumpet player so fuck that shit

[@greensakana2673]

Lol

[@Spin_n_Swirl]

I keep coming back tho this,, that fiddle section GETS me every time 😩

[@thePettiest1]

Man, you were all so amazing! And I really love how many solos there were! And while I really enjoyed saxophone and violin on the melody, I must admit that I'm a sucker for pretty much every sound that comes out of a clarinet!

[@tonyg_fgc8152]

Killer performance. That was nothing more but amazing!

[@Spin_n_Swirl]

2:28 for that violin!!

[@kuberannaganathan5244]

another great chrono cover thanks

[@chickenbeforeegg]

3:28 drummer's face is me this whole thing

[@samsolitaryroll]

Hi, I was in love with your performances and subscribed right away. I feel that I need to request this seeing as the series didn't get much love recently. Can I suggest themes from Xenogears? Also composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. Thank you and keep up the beautiful works!

[@ETvandal]

God I can’t even tell you how glad I am that you guys are doing some chrono trigger stuff. Wonderful game, wonderful soundtrack

[@alfazion]

Man, what a felling in this cover! Amazing work!

[@yox4944]

Guys you're awesome! Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece, and this cover of this legendary ost is majestic, big up!

[@Kaedalus]

One of my all time favorites! Thank you so much for this

[@carbonc6065]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@Zephhi]

Walking around wondering where I have to go the first time I played this... can never get this out of my head

[@janissary131]

violinist did great! nice to see shogo too on the clarinet

[@ChampionShogo]

Thanks!

[@CalebCornelius]

This is my new favorite channel. Hope to see more CT and other Mitsuda covers!

[@lybniss7913]

Man this made me shiver and smile, a lot

[@tempheror112]

Fun Fact: If you've played Chrono Trigger and didn't like it, that means you're not a real person. Also, like if you ate the old mans lunch.

[@williamhayduk6865]

I didn't know you could

[@kylehill3643]

@Lavos Actually some people could have a hard time with the tiny characters. I sometimes do as I have stigmatism (I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled) so I can only play in short bursts but that doesn't mean I don't like the game.

[@kylehill3643]

@Lavos How well would you do in Breath of The Wild Master Mode? Hint: If you use your own Octo Balloons on the floating platform things you can create your own elevator to the sky if you have a large enough supply! Nobody else knows about this either which is odd but it's fun to go higher then the game intends!

[@jonathanhargraves2241]

Lavos, a good person?! 🤔

[@I_EAT_QUARTERS]

Tastes like chicken.

[@marlonchagas6893]

Awesome... just... Awesome!

[@utsrion]

You guys are so cool!! Keep it on !! Great job 👍

[@humanbass]

Fuck yeah, my fav game of all time. I love the super sweet and romantic interlude.

[@ACGTA]

UHA!!! I love that part in all the cover songs

[@TheJackster-tl8oi]

Ha!

[@jennifermascarelli2461]

so great as always!! keep up the good work, you guys are truly inspirational

[@AdamDavidDunlop]

Question for Patrick: How did you get to be so damn cool?

[@jchandra74]

Loving all the solo and dueling :) very nice.

[@Blueracebeing]

Really good stuff, keep it coming guys!

[@danielbloomquist9810]

You lads simply have to tell me how you managed to not only reach The End of Time, but also of your sparring bout with Spekkio, because what I just witnessed was nothing less than magical.

[@JoeCoolMaveric]

0:56 Man, the crowd seemed to love that. lol

[@Duhemsounds]

You always make awesome jazzy performances :)

[@friedrichbahk5675]

this is my favorite music....!

[@victordoroshin6562]

Magnificent.

[@okfnjesse]

Violinist tore it up

[@jean-lucfagnan7798]

1 minute in and it’s so good

[@PabloRuedaf]

[@plagoz]

[@3rdStrikeChile]

I'm pretty sure at 4:23 you reached music heaven

[@bushmanjive6314]

Why didn’t the guitar player get a solo???? Thats why he look mad af throughout the vid

[@ShangoJr98]

Timing the ha's was not fun lmfao. Great cover as always you guys ✌🏾

[@lucidparalysis2794]

Awesome! Will you please do a cover of the new One Piece opening “Over the Top?” That would be amazing!

[@ShadyFoxShadify]

Holly... are you guys reading my mind?) Just wanned to ask if you could play this) Perfect as always. To be honest, you gave me a great idea to play this game again, and I did.) I cried as b**ch, same as ever xD wonder if you could make some 6500000000 age remix or add some music to that area.) there is so many great music in this game. Ah, also! are you planning to play Chrono Cross someday as well? :3

[@heritagekebek3029]

AHHH!♫♪
