KyleJCrb Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Great performance, but I just knew they were going to end it with FF7. At least they didn't break into One Winged Angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 As always. Kind of mean to only hint at OWA in the FF7 battle medley though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 As always. Kind of mean to only hint at OWA in the FF7 battle medley though. Well, if Jonne Valtonen did the arrangement, that doesn't surprise me. He seems unwilling to use it fully, if only because 'it's been done before', and it's relatively tough to rearrange that song in orchestral form. Though he did a hilarious job of teasing the fans in the Symphonic Fantasies Final Fantasy arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Is that when he segued into the Chocobo Theme? I do have to admit that was pretty awesome. A little disappointed they didn't bring back crazy drummer guy. I miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moguta Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 For those who missed it -- sadly, including me -- there's some high quality YouTube-age already up: Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake7707 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 I thoroughly enjoyed the live stream , it was the first time I saw it completely and not just pieces from youtube. I liked the fact that they added 2 not-on-program performances ^^, although I don't know if they have done that in previous concerts. I should really look into actually going to a concert next time Let's see if I can embed all the parts in the first post Edit: I've added youtube links for all pieces in the original post.
