I swear to god when people look back at our time, people like Nobuo Uematsu are who will be seen as the Beethovens and Mozarts. Composers of video games are some of the most prodigal musicians and music makers alive. The lasting impact Uematsu will have on music composition I think will far surpass what most today would predict.
Sadly his work won’t be heard by as many as it deserves to so I’d have to disagree with you. Nobuo should be in the conversation with the likes of today’s greatest composers though for certain if there were any justice. How he pumped out the soundtracks for 7, 8, 9 and 10 in such a minuscule amount of time is beyond comprehension. He’s the Hans Zimmer of video game composition for me, their work is so integral to the films/games they work on and connect with you on a level I can’t explain.
@@eglaiosdeminecraft9259 The problem is Fantasian was commissioned by Apple leaving many of us to wonder how much would it take for Sakaguchi/Mistwalker to buy it from them since that's the only way it'll come out on other platforms. Besides, you can buy the Fantasian soundtrack!
@@kwizzeh Actually checked it out recently, and there's apparently been some kind of Steam playtest about 2 months ago, it's recorded as #2524970 on SteamDB I kinda moved on a while ago, but maybe one day lol
I love how much he loves it when the audience gets to participate in his songs! He seems to enjoy encouraging it with One Winged Angel too, since I heard he requests the audience to chant the ‘SEPHIROTH!’ parts beforehand at the Distant Worlds concerts.
It's heartwarming to see someone who's music has been such a big part of my life get up on stage and just have a ball playing what's easily his magnum opus. For people who don't know baroque music, Uematsu basically wrote an entire tocatta and fugue. He then performed them on stage with VERY minimal errors. Just writing it is impressive, but so is playing it... especially at his age. Such a great time watching this.
People going mad (pun intended) when the composer of a theme from a 30 years old game plays it live brings back some hope for humanity. These are some of the best compositions of the 20th century
I was the stage right cameraman for this (the one right in front of Uematsu). I appreciate folks are still enjoying this, but I am just reminded how green I was as a camera operator back then. It has been... 12 years since this concert? I'm still a regular camera operator at MAGFest (this video was filmed at my first MAGFest), and we have gotten significantly better over the years!
Nobody will ever eclipse his run as a game composer. His catalog is so huge and consistently great. Composers today dont face the same limitations that breed this level of talent.
It's said that composers having to make music using the sound chip for the SNES was like using crayons, but Nobuo Uematsu painted the Sistine Chapel with those crayons
@@TheNightOwlKSactually this works because crayons actually require tremendous skill to use them for an effect comparable to photorealistic oil paintings, it's actually possible and crayons get a bad rep because they're given to kids that obviously can't use them properly without years of training. Almost any tool, with enough skill and talent, can produce fantastic results, though obviously sometimes some tools are more limiting and you need to get creative in how to work around these limitations.
Instead we get nintendo neglecting all their music besides mario, music from recent AAA games that aren't FF and whatever else. Always a treat to get the asian music sections tho whenever a chinese/Japanese themed game released recently. Pan flutes are amazing
It's so rare that you see a musician play a live show like this without making some gaffs, it's all a part of the experience. Cleaner the better obviously, but if it sounds perfect, get real suspicious that you're watching pantomime.
thats part of the theme of the game this is from- ff6. its the final boss music halfway through it looks like the bad guy wins and destroys the world... and then the game keeps going with a changed map and drastically darker tone
His live band was called "Black Mages", and they did play live a bunch. Sadly they haven't played in over a decade, but they did release a few albums and a concert dvd. All worth checking out.
With the added drums in the beginning it sounded like Court of The Crimson King lol this was fantastic, its like watching DaVinchi paint Mona Lisa, but a video game music man.
Besides my immediate family there is no other man on the planet that i love more or has brought me more joy than that man Nobup Uematsu. What a freaking absolute legend. I will never forget you or let an opportunity go to pass on your name. You are may favorite composer of all time. May your name live on forever Uematsu-San. 🙏
Saw an orchestra and chorus play this last night at carnegie hall. But seeing Nobuo play this himself must be a different level of insanity...both equally incredible!!
Ok, this is the top 1 of the moments I would visit if I had a time machine. My favorite song ever, with master Uematsu, incredible vibes... thx for the upload !
Nobou Uematsu is a gem of the gaming world, a truly talented individual, who reformed music in the gaming industry forever. I played Final Fantasy 5 28 years ago, and that was the time when I fell in love with his music.
MAN what an experience this must have been. Dancing Mad is in my opinion among the most well-written pieces of video game music ever to exist, and to think he wrote this for the SNES. Absolute icon.
A privilege wasted on this audience. They could not shut up for one second. I get being excited, but shouting "WOOOOO" during the quieter parts is just stupid.
@@OMGlaffiesIt's a convention entirely for video game dweebs, it's a fun time, been to a few myself, but yeah. Consider the average gamer's sense of public manners and you'll get it quickly lol
Suspiciously reading his wikipedia entry, I am not surprised finding listed as one of his major influences there: _Emerson, Lake & Palmer._ ... ;-) I never played those games, had no idea thy have cool music like that :D
I love Nobuo, his masterpieces live on forever. I had the honor of being in his presence during a distant worlds performance he attended. Nothing like being there and seeing the legend himself!
Dancing Mad is Uematsu's masterpiece. Birth of a God and One Winged Angel from FF7 don't even compare to this nearly 18 minute epic for the best villain in the series (Kefka).
There's actual fuege that'd make Bach blush. Dancing Mad is incredibly underrated, but among SNES-era FF fans, we know what the true gem is. Soundtrack was limited by the technology of its time, but surprised most new fans cast it aside since VII is the one getting all the remake hype. If they did a VI today, it'd be rated M-- if done well. It's dark. Triggering...and the villain actually wins (for all intents and purposes) before you beat the game.
Not only it is Uematsu's masterpiece, but it is A masterpiece as far as music goes. The amount of research, technicity, creativity, and love he poured onto it in absolutely insane (no pun intended). He onece said he would never consider it finished in his lifetime, as he always finds way to alter, improve and have fun with it. It can be played in ANY style and genre, and as a matter of fact it has been, not only by fans but by Uematsu himself. I think most people underestimate what it takes to create and refine such a piece. It's on a level very few musicians can comprehend and achieve.
this is the final boss music of final fantasy 6 it incorporates elements of classical church music as the villian styles himself as God as well as leitmotifs from many other parts of the story, bringing the entire soundtrack together in one insane sweeping finale
Was he performing with The Black Mages? His concentration toward the end of the 4th movement is god-like. The master performing his own craft with the glorious feuge!
I can that guarantee that music composers of the NES and SNES era. people like Nobu Uematsu, Kenji Yamamoto, Koji Kondo, Yasunori Mitsuda, and so many others. Never thought that in 30+ years their music would have such a lasting impression.
@@RobinsMusic i think he means in a bad way. It's okay to do a bit of improvisation on solos, but he totally missed to emphasize on the right places, the crescendo feeling was fucked up. This solo is intended to sound powerfully dramatic, but it was just sterile and lifeless. No disrespect to Micho Okamiya, shit happens sometimes.

This masterpiece is so complex not even Nobuo Uematsu himself can play it without mistakes :-O
are you even supposed to play a song called dancing mad correctly?
Honestly considering Kefka stands for madness and chaos, I'd say that it being played "correctly" isn't even the point.
