Tomb Raider - A Special Orchestral Performance (PAX EAST 2018)

[@JoshDun6]

I cant believe some kids these days dont know this icon... she really did change the gaming industry forever

[@skoczywlas]

I'm wondering why reboot is not using this theme. It's so characteristic for the series. It's like removing Indiana Jones or Star Wars themes from this movies.

[@MonstrousOgre]

It's not just the music. The only thing the reboot has in common with the classic series is the title and the character's name.

[@backup368]

Castlevania

[@georgeofhamilton]

In fact, the first reboot game does use a portion of this theme. The main riff in the reboot theme ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHrUp4aEea6fitU ) is basically an "augmented" version of the main riff in the classic theme with a couple rhythmic and interval changes ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPIYYiLqLNpbtU -that's the example that comes to mind; I also heard comparable references to that riff in some of the other games, but I'm not interested in hunting for them). I imagine that the original plan was to develop this theme, along with Lara's character, to be more and more like the classic by the end of the reboot series but the developers threw that away and made what we have now. There's actually a pretty notable example of this in _Star Wars:_ "Rogue One's" theme is basically a "diminished" version of the classic _Star Wars_ theme ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXi5ooOGYpplhNE ). This really substantiates the point that the 2013 reboot was meant to be an origin story for Lara, before she was the Tomb Raider and before all the stuff that would happen in the older games.

[@georgeofhamilton]

@@MonstrousOgre It's pretty disappointing. The first game was a really good setup for an origin story for Lara, but then her character just never substantially developed after that.

[@MonstrousOgre]

@@georgeofhamilton I personally didn't even like the origin they set up in the 2013 game. I prefer classic Lara's origin where she was self-made and wasn't raiding tombs because of daddy issues.

[@philipford6183]

Nathan McCree's Tomb Raider Theme is, and always be, the gold standard for Tomb Raider. Period.

[@ckf92wizard]

I’m so glad people recognize Nathan McCree’s work on these games for the legitimate masterpieces they are. ❤️

[@GayAstray]

Thank god people are still honouring these wonderful compositions. It’s a shame that the modern day movies and games don’t remain in tact with what made the original games true classics.

[@michaeljablonowski5014]

Modern Movies has such dull and forgetable Soundtracks... its a shame

[@Farid.Benbernou]

i'm glad to be the hundredth who comment this beautiful comment

[@RelicRaider]

this still gives me goosebumps and tears hearing this

[@nosuchthing4789]

Amen to that

[@blondie8524]

Same here. Both things every time

[@RayRiv73]

Same

[@brandonmoore2237]

Gorgeous! Hearing Nathan McCree's Tomb Raider music always takes me back to my childhood!

[@orion3694]

Me too 🙏🏻🤗✨

[@lm2530]

I've told many friends that Tomb Raider had some of the best background music I have ever heard in a game. Their reply is always "what music?" They have never paid attention and/or are not Tomb Raider players!

[@Belzebubke]

lm2530 they probably think of the reboots

[@soufiya1461]

Actually if they played the PC version, there'll be no BG music but the Main Theme and in cutscenes, as far as I know. The battle theme is so iconic yet I am sad I never got familiar with it during my childhood due to it being missing from the game files.

[@Bagpipe13]

I agree.

[@thebitsanpiecesman4423]

lm2530 idiots mate I

[@starsiegeplayer]

@@soufiya1461 The PC had redbook audio just like the PlayStation.

[@ClockedIt]

A score so perfect that as soon as you hear it, you can instantly see in your mind moments of the game it relates to and the experiences you had. The original Tomb Raider nailed so much that every single game after it failed to capture all that magic again perfectly. Amazing soundtrack and a title theme that should have been standard throughout the entire series.

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

5:58 to me this is the most memorable track.

[@warham97]

I was like three years old when I watched my parents play it, and I still remember the T-rex, the temples, the final boss that gives me nightmares, and of course the beautiful songs of this game. Twenty years later and it gives me chills and tears. Thank you so much for that.

[@arthurserino2254]

The original Tomb Raider was beautiful, engaging, intriguing, and fun to play on its own, but Nathan's music made it truly magical.

[@michalbabco4906]

Okay, Natla boss theme at 4:40 got me crying 😭 that was so epic!

[@starsiegeplayer]

This was wonderful. I got chills at 6:40.

[@lucaloiacono4219]

Me too!

[@petergardner9442]

Me too it’s unbelievable!

[@gigistar66]

I'm crying right now 😂😭😭😭😭

[@daratemple]

Same my brain got all tingly

[@t7612-v6h]

This game was unbelievable. It changed everything.

[@evansaberon4752]

Greatest video game theme music ever

[@goddessinyou654]

I love it. I want life to be simple again.

[@WalkingRoscoe]

Ah, yes. The 90s.

[@ipercalisse579]

Yes... :/

[@ape8075]

❤️ There are much chance to Enjoy and find Miracles in the semplicity respect take some risk during the experience to be live and live Our Life

[@apex_prey]

Me too, my friend. Me too.

[@itsmaryaam]

God!!! Made me shiver!!!! How i fucking love this music. Tomb Raider is the best for real. I'm still playing it over and over again, never gets old ❤️❤️

[@yamukhan58]

Naughty words for a hijabi😏

[@xaitiie8485]

When they ended with the main theme, it gave me instant chills!❤🤙🏿

[@johncallaghan8696]

Fantastic. Beautiful music. I have always loved the Tomb Raider music. Steve 👍

[@epires2]

OMG! So nostalgic! ♥

[@mikemd6155]

JUST WOW.. Hits ya right in the heart. I was 21 when I got my PS1 and didn't know a thing about Tomb Raider Waited in a line Inside of a mall at an EB store. How many people remember Electronics Boutique stores? Never heard of this game before going there. I was browsing the games with Girlfriend and her sister at the time and the sister brings me this game and showed me the pointed boobs on the CD case and I laughed at them and said Naaa.. Prefer my boobs round, but then she said no check out the back pics. Ok those pointed polygons started to look more roundish then. I said WTH and snagged it up along with madden. I decided to put TR in first and didn't even look at madden until I beat TR and then instantly restarted it after ending.. I was hooked and in all honesty that game keep me away from Heroin. I just got out of jail before PS1 came out and I for sure needed to pick up a new hobby and change my life. TR did that for me 100%. Instead of getting HI on that Unforgivable Hell of a drug that is Heroin, I started to remember what Natural Hi's felt like again and to have feelings, and emotions that I didn't use Heroin for to escape or deal with. The good ones you would've had just became numb to them and never get to feel the true power of having good over bad emotions and feelings. When I heard the first bit of Music that came on I was like WTF? In a GOOD way. It went thru me like no music ever did before. Then as the game kept going I had more emotions and feelings hit me So hard I just remember crying. In a way it forced me to look back the last 5 years of my life of being hooked on Heroin and the hurt I put my family through and seen how much that CRAP ruined me, but at the same time I had more HOPE and Positivity in that moment and time that I was 100% sure I wasn't going to use it again and didn't. How could all of this happen because of a Video Game and some symphony music? If I knew the answer to that one I'd bottle it up and give it to addicts at a young age and tell them to try this over what they were doing or thought about doing. I'm just going to go with a moment in my life were something or someone reached out and smacked me and said, "Get your Shit straight boy and live life in a positive way and enjoy what it truly has to offer." 😇 TO anyone that had any part in making this game from Top to Bottom. You literally saved my life..

[@beyondtheinfinite3263]

Really glad to hear your story. Hope you can inspire others as well.

[@ElifErgin-k8q]

I hope you’re still going strong in your recovery journey 🍀💪🏻

[@1bloodray]

Did you know that the music from tomb raider the angel of darkness was actually made by the London orchestral symphony

[@alixsims]

Not exactly, Peter Connely wrote/composed the music of TR:AOD, and London Orchestral Symphony performed it.
