Very interesting! Nice find, HR. They've played that many songs from Shenmue?
Though they don't sound very professional, they're trying to make their play really
authentic with many traditional Chinese instruments, including the Chinese fiddle.
Pretty impressive!

Great stuff, man. Thank you!

This is so beautiful that it made me cry.

SHENMUE FOR EVER.

And i was most looking forward to hearing the main theme, hope they get it put back up. This is cool, im glad they like the Shenmue music enough to actually perform it!

Imagine a concert where they perform most the songs, it would be long, but damn cool!

It's back up.

Shenmue has the best damn videogame soundtrack ever. MGS rivals it but Shenmue's music captures the essence of the game so well.

Awesome! I wonder how many people in the audience had played the game, but you can enjoy the music itself for sure.

Aye. The Shenmue soundtrack is certainly a thing of beauty.

Posted: **Sun Aug 24, 2008 6:43 pm**

Yeah, it's damn good stuff - good performance too.

I wouldn't go as far to say the best video game composition.. I prefer Final Fantasy personally (In particular Final Fantasy IX). But I guess it's also the memories of the game that enhance the feeling of the music.

^FFVII, VIII, IX and X all have a brilliant soundtrack.

Especially VIII and IX.
