Nothing can top TR1 to 3. It was the best and a sacred part of my childhood memory.

[@marcraider]

TR 4 was one of the best, don't leave it behind, it was the last good Tomb raider, Chronicles was the beggining of the deadence.

[@JollyGiant1213]

Beautiful… Beautiful games…🥹🤙🏻

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

There is a piece of someone's soul in this music ....

[@RossKroft96]

I'm actually in tears :'(

[@4BRicky]

RossKroft96 my feelings exactly! Nathan made this such an iconic franchise. Will always be nostalgic and beautiful to me.

[@karamba5089]

Same ;(

[@spazz5907]

You’re not the only one

[@deadbeatjack2307]

Nathan McCree is a God. You have no idea how much TR's music means to me. Absolutely fantastic!

[@pablojpiccoli]

Time goes by very fast. My brother and I played for endless months. We were trying to get through the stages and riddles. Today is the memory. I miss you my friend!

[@msfs19941]

I wish they'd do this again! I would go in a heartbeat

[@NathanMcCree]

More concerts are coming.

Los Angeles area??🤞🏻😓

Im crying, thank you nathan giving us this beautiful memories in our childhood🩷 music is everything

[@NathanMcCree]

You're most welcome. I'm glad you like it. 😀

[@joemac1671]

This needs playing at my funeral. Bitter sweet feeling....end of an era, old Lara and old childhood :(

[@sonjam.9933]

This is a great idea. I am going to remember this for my funeral :-) hopefully not so soon :;) But this gives me really all feelings at once. Good and bad. The music is so melancholic.

[@NathanMcCree]

Thank you. But it's not the end of an era. ;-)

[@A-Maria]

It's certainly not the end of an era! The remastered versions of the TR1-3 games have brought all these wonderful nostalgic memories back to the surface! ❤️

[@TheNIDAN17]

How could anyone dislike this? It is a great compilation of themes from the best Tomb Raider games and fits the series perfectly.

[@StrawberrySunday212]

This was written to be played by an orchestra. Stunning.

[@NathanMcCree]

Correct. Glad you like it. :-)

[@StrawberrySunday212]

@@NathanMcCree I still play the old TR games..Never Tire of hearing the theme..Gives me goosebumps.

[@SephirotHeRe]

Man why can’t this be happening in 2021, I would’ve loved to see this live

[@NathanMcCree]

More live concerts coming soon.

[@TheMetea11]

Ok i'm getting emotional here. The old Tomb Raider games were everything that i loved in video games when i was a child, and even now, i come back to these games from time to time, because that's how good they were. I think i probably know every corner of every level from the first five games by heart. Mr McCree your music is so unique and was so on point in these games, it really captured that feeling of glamour epicness that Lara needed musicwise. I'm crying as i'm watching this performance, your music will forever have a soft spot in my gamer heart, thank you for your work and all of the fond memories i keep from the TR games.

[@JollyGiant1213]

Beautifully well said my friend. I feel exactly. The. Same. Thank you, Nathan McCree🥺🤙🏻❤

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

Nathan is what is missing from the rebooted games. We need you back Nath! Shadow Of Tomb Raider? lol

[@SadalDay]

Nathan is what is missing from any high production/value project period, i would like to think that any developer or movie producer would welcome his talents & without getting into a long song and dance sometimes "politics" dictate who secures certain gigs opposed to whos best suited. Hope this kickstarer was a success and will lead to more Nathan in general in the near future (hopefully in video games) because his stuff is top shelf who also happens to also be a very decent guy.

[@bladeofmird]

The whole teams of Core Design is what's missing from the rebooted games.

[@TechniqueSan]

Actually, EVERYTHING is missing from the rebooted games.

[@NightOrchids]

Blade of Mird well Eidos Montreal were involved in Shadow, but your right.. the reboot series is sh@t, especially the QTE disaster that was TR 2013... I want the old TR back.. I grew up with Lara and loved it.. the games were my therapy, I know we have Crystals Anniversary.. but we need a good TR game

[@tymvoryxos280]

@@NightOrchids I have to disagree with you. TR2013 was nice, even not close to TR, but still a nice game with lot of action, lots of fellings and very nice music, even if it didn't include the original music, the new theme was close to it. In my opinion the disaster came after that, especially in The Shadow of the Tomb Raider. As for the soundtracks, no way worse than all previous games.

[@BlueHairedWitch8]

This is the music that goes right into your soul. When i need something to settle my mind, this is where i come. Nathan your work is amazing. 😀😀

[@NathanMcCree]

Thank you Christine. That's a really lovely message. Big smiles. :-)

[@blank-dr2kx]

So many hours spent as a child hearing these scores. Just engrained in my memory. They truly are phenomenal. Thankyou.

[@tomekkobialka]

You are an inspiration. Thank you for gifting us with such wonderful music.

[@NathanMcCree]

You're welcome. Thank you for your support. More shows coming, and of course the album. Stay tuned.

[@Clonest]

They should really consider hiring you to a track for the new film for old times sake. Also are we still getting an album release? :)

[@destructiveraider]

Simply breathtaking. I am on the verge of tears.

[@Duha_01]

thank you nathan for making my childhood so amazing I'm crying 😭💜

[@TheGamingDefinition]

I'm back after a few years, this was truly fantastic!

[@alainmarceux6817]

Nathan was genius ,since i was child i used to meditate to your music ,specially long way up theme , these music means alot to me ,since tomb raider had lots of memories woth my late father ...RIP Daddy ❤

[@TheMusicWaker]

I cried when I watched Winston being locked in the freezer. Such beautiful memories.

[@LadyZora90]

I agree! ❤️

[@metitfour131]

They got The Fridge Butler...I'm so glad. Man, I really miss the music of Oldschool Tomb Raider. It brought adventure. It brought the mystique. It brought the tension. The action. The relief. The triumph. The beauty! All of these things were the essence of playing and experiencing Tomb Raider for the first time and it really sent chills down your spine. I wish I was there for the Tomb Raider Suite, hearing these pieces remastered by the orchestra gives me those same chills I had when I was 7 and 8 playing these games, and I honestly can't imagine what the experience was like for those lucky souls who had the honor of sitting down that day to listen to the orchestra play!

[@MatreshkaMertveshka]

It's so nice to find out that the classics are not forgotten. Classic TR soundtracks are still my favourite ones. Thank you.

[@pablodela41]

This and the Angel of Darkness one are best Tomb Raider themes. They are iconics. The new main theme for the new tomb raider is just too generic it doesn't tell a story

[@ielmorocho]

Exactly

[@-JavCold-]

Tomb raider 1 and tomb raider 4 are still sooo good, speaking in terms of themes! :D

[@samlugano737]

The best composer for the classic Tomb Raiders hands down. I wish the most recent games had this vibe.

[@qasimodoroleta5792]

Hahaha, poor Winston. That melody is so nostalgic, I can feel the soul of that game, Thank You mr. Nathan!

[@davidcarroll2152]

An absolute masterpiece Nathan. Being a Derby born long time Tomb Raider fan I'd dreamed of hearing your music performed by a live orchestra. Your music gave those first three games so much character, as prominent and important as any graphics or character work. Music 'makes' moments in film and games and so often goes under appreciated. From hearing the live rendition of 'Something Spooky in that Jungle' to the original T-Rex music it was an absolutely fantastic night of themes I'd always dreamed of hearing orchestrated live. Emotion is a difficult thing to articulate but 'In the Blood' sent me on an emotional roller-coaster of nostalgia and heart pumping nerve tingling joy which moved me to tears. Thank you Nathan, both for your work on the original games and for pushing so hard to bring this concert alive for fans like myself. To any other TR fan I say this...If this turns up in your town go to it, it's an experience you'll never forget!

[@NathanMcCree]

Hi David. Many thanks for your message. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the show. The tour and the album are coming soon. Stay tuned. :-)

[@Cody-ch2lc]

This is absolutely amazing. I love the fact that it's a modern track but sounds like it came straight out of the original games

[@AliceInferno]

I love this... so much!!!! Very beautiful 😍 best memories!!

[@Potkanka]

That was absolutely beautiful! TR3 will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first one and its music still hits me hard with nostalgia. "In The Blood" just now managed it too, it really fits in the TR3 soundtrack as if it's always been there. (Oh but the part at 3:02 - 3:10 was a special nostalgia punch, it gave me shivers.)

[@NathanMcCree]

Hi Potkanka. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm really pleased you enjoyed In The Blood, and I'm glad you felt it fits with the TR3 soundtrack (It seems I did my job right! ;-) )

[@szabo-kissedinarita7533]

This soundtrack is a work of art. My favourite ever

[@NathanMcCree]

Thank you Szabo-Kiss :-)

[@keatondj]

It's like the old soundtracks blended with the new soundtracks. I'm so mesmerized and touched by this piece. Hearing the song resolve into major at the end made me cry; such a brilliant touch on the iconic and beautiful theme. Again, Thank you, Nathan, for everything. This is incredible.

[@NathanMcCree]

Hey thanks Keaton. It's great to hear from someone with a little musical knowledge! I'm glad you like it. :-)

[@keatondj]

Nathan McCree Yeah! The good old Picardy third! It's simple, but it works like magic! And I really love what you've done in this piece; playing around with the chord structure and progressions offering us new lush harmonies to the tune. Thank you! =)

[@yarazar]

After all these years, having heard this music thousands of times, it still gives me goosebumps!! This means so much to me, words cannot describe!! Thank you Nathan for making this.

[@riteasrain]

Came here from your Insta post. A gorgeous piece - lovely to hear the theme coming through, very nostalgic ❤

[@rickyrickardo4913]

Goosebumps !!

[@KB-mv9np]

These games and the music are engrained in my soul lol. Resident evil as well 😍 Iconic music and epic story lines are what’s missing in games today.

[@GayAstray]

When the trumpets begin and the chaotic T. rex music from the original game overlaps with the main theme 😫 the most intense goosebumps. Lara is back ❤️

[@MombieMel]

I wish I could've made this concert! Classic Tomb Raider AND its music was such an inspirational little universe for me as a kid growing up. It hurts still what they did with Lara, how they pretty much dumbed her down to this plain Jane girl with money, but this Tomb Raider era will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Nathan for the beautiful songs that I still hum to, after all these years!

[@NathanMcCree]

Hi Melissa, I'm sorry you couldn't make the show, but there are more shows coming, and of course the album too, so hopefully you will get your chance soon. Stay tuned for an official announcement in the next few days.

This music brings my childhood memories.Music from first Tomb Raider is my favorite.Thanks Nathan - you are my hero.

[@sonjam.9933]

I hear this again and again and can't stop it. This is really great music and reminds me of my childhood and playing the games. The "Tomb Raider Suite" haunting me for 2 weeks now. The music is already burned in my mind and my soul. And I am all day in sharing and following the success of the project. I want to hear this music all day at home and on the way. The best music ever for the best games ever.. In truth, the music has brought me back on playing the first game. But Tomb Raider III is definitely my favorite.

[@russellmilton7278]

I love This so much, I’m blubbing , brings back such happy memories of all three tomb raider games. Class composition. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@espeonfreak]

Nathan. Your music is my childhood. Please release your music on vinyl, I want to support what you did for me.

Oh my god. This is so amazing and nostalgic. Excuse me while i go hug my old PS1 Tomb Raider games and cry forever.

[@NathanMcCree]

You are excused! ;-) I'm glad you like it. :-)

[@ReluctantWarrior]

The music composed by both Peter Connelly and yourself are what contributed largely to giving those six classic games a soul and the series just isn't the same without you or the rest of Core Design crew.

[@temasto]

So many memories come back after seeing this.

[@LovveMoon]

Always was and always will be, the best Tomb Raider games, the best Lara, THE Lara,. The one I grew up with, the one we all grew up with. She helped me through so much. I am in tears , I miss it so much.

[@NathanMcCree]

While these concerts keep happening, she is never far away. :-)

[@exsoul6699]

The grace and clarity in this song is absolutely amazing and captivating!! Thank you Nathan for heart felt journey back in time with some of the best and nostalgic music I have herd in my life. Nothing short of tears rite now from me.

You are so welcome. I'm glad you like the music. :-)

Nathan McCree, your work with Tomb Raider was incredible! It is also my favourite game, because of the game itself and mainly, for its amazing soundtrack...you are very talented! Regards from Spain! Don't forget you have fans all over the world!

[@LucaGiulianiguitar]

Great! Come to Italy please!!! :)

[@samcroairsoft1976]

Simply epic incredibly enchanting like a time machine I remember how I put the second CD of Tomb Raider 1 at the evening in the CD player and only listened to the soundtrack to fall asleep. Sometimes I still listen to the soundtrack to fall asleep and sometimes i dream of that good old time. it's scary how fast time flies. I would love to be able to jump back and forth, some things I would do differently, but most of it I would do again. And in any case I would have this soundtrack in my absolute favorites.

[@ciasteczkoimbirowe1160]

Damn. It's funny, when I was doing my complete Tomb Raider marathon with my brother and his wife just watching, and the they told me that the music for the first 3 were the best. They don't have that connection to these games as me [i was dying so many times in India when I was 6 xD], but they have much more fun with music in the first three [i don't say that the rest of the composers where bad or anything. I'ts just that feeling than only Mr Nathan could do]. My brother's wife actually cried, when I played that vinyl for the first time. When non-gaming people are getting emotional with this music - that's some great compositions right there!

[@JMTM]

Back here again! Masterpiece!

[@midasofficial4532]

Wow, this piece combines the excellence of all the early TR games.

Hi Peo, I am working on it. We will get there soon, I'm sure. :-)

[@yohnnyjames]

i'll do anything to be there!!!

[@scarecrow1701]

TR3 is where I came into the game... was my very first PC game I ever played (besides Solitaire, etc.) and was awed from the beginning, though I found the game rsther difficult in spots..my grand daughter has fond memories of it, sitting on my lap she was also fascinated with a seemingly 3D charachter......but the music was and is such a classic theme for a great series of games (Ok, some were/are better than others) The music is for the ages, and Nathan's music is sadly lacking in the newer games. But certainly not forgotten , really cool to able to watch this live performance, watching this I couldn't help but stand and give applause to Nathan, along with the enthusiasic audience!

[@KyleKirkpatrick123]

[@charlesvcz2737]

I'm currently working on a guitar arrangement of your TR music, quite a long medley tbh :P but I have to, I need to, those games just made my childhood ! they really helped shape the way I see the world today ! Tomb Raider games and Nathan McCree's music are the reason I developed very early a fascination for foreign languages and ancient cultures. And also the reason I'd better study for my archaeology exams than typing comments on YT x) Anyway, thank you Nathan ! sincerely, from a true fan :)

[@laentidaddesconocida]

I fell in love with Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider franchise the first time I saw the game. I bought TR2 in a K-Mart store in Georgia (November 1999) and since then I collect everything and anything of Tomb Raider.

[@laurenthosch]

Oh my god! Really thrilling! Can't wait for the Live CD :-) Thank you, Nathan

[@FlintMelody]

This should be theme track to the next TR. It's perfect and just in a completely different league to the music of the recent games. I can't get over how amazing this is and want more.
