Nice. It’s fun to see which songs totally work in symphonic form (Marble Gardens, Casino Nights), and what songs don’t (some of the ones that were originally full R&B like Starlight Zone sound pretty strange).

was really surprised to see the deep cuts in the game gear section

Anyone know where to cop those Crush40 shirts

I love it spelled out as ā€œCrush Fortyā€

It pleases me greatly that they used the Sonic easter egg in Christmas NiGHTS as an excuse to do some NiGHTS music.

OK I’m watching more of this now and I am obsessed with how hard this vocalist is selling Open Your Heart.

Wait what the fuck, Crush Forty then covers Sonic Boom (woof), and then the encore is them performing City Escape backed by the entire orchestra and it’s actually great, lmao

They should have had Crush Forty cover Toot Toot Sonic Warrior, that I would like to see.

Oh, for Sonic in Minecraft, is there an actual Chao Garden where you can raise Chao, or is it just a lie and Chao are just hanging out somewhere?

Thanks for praising the concert y’all decided to watch and having a great time when I don’t have a baby screaming over it.

there’s not an actual virtual pet system it’s just a little bonus room shaped like the adventure chao garden

This guy when they start playing 06? He knows.

imagine being classically trained for years, touring and performing in well respected venues and then being asked to arrange and perform the Zebrahead song from one of the worst videogames ever made

The legend is orchestras hate doing video game music because it is structurally easy and boring.

Listening to this I noticed they did a lot of little things in every arrangement which was definitely in response to those complaints.

Like I saw Gyakuten Saiban with an orchestra and yeah that music is A. Great B. Really simple and boring when expanded to 70 people.

I am just glad this had no audience so we didn’t get any hooting and howlering.

I don’t think this was mentioned but Sonic Mania is the free Epic Games Store giveaway game of the week.

I’m glad Sega is taking good care of Sonic. The games slipping to 2022 is (only slightly) unfortunate but getting proper ports and widescreen etc. is better than Nintendo has ever done for Mario or anything else - the widescreen Super Mario World hack got me thinking.
