The conductor laying dead through the entire performance was amazing. 😂👏🏼 This is w/o a doubt, one of the greatest themes of our time. It will outlive us all. Cheers. 🍸
In my opinion, it would be sacrilege to change any part of the iconic theme that belongs to MI6 Agent 007. Bond's theme will always make me feel proud to be British
I've heard of the band killing the director, but never heard of them hiring a sniper to do the job and then continuing to play music as if nothing happened! Brilliant staging!
I was lucky enough to watch it live in January 2020. It was the last event I visited before the Covid era. SO memorable that it was totally worth the hassel to drive almost 1000km for the concert. This was the opening song of the concert, and the actor was so dedicted that he layed on the floor the entire song. Kudos to u! The real conductor came out after this song.
@@timmyzhou1 and just a few days ago I saw the ad of them performing again the wild west/GodFather concert but I’m in Az US too far although it’s like a dream.. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear then perform anything. I’m really thinking about visiting Dk. My daughter is in Samsø/Copenhegan until Dec 15th. She tells me wonders of those two places. Specially been able to drink the tap water lol. It was surprisingly good news. So far, she in love with Denmark. My would be a about 5K miles, with a 19hr flight with 3 stops. 🤔
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBarsI mean yeah, that’s a whole performance built around joy and the magic of music and such, many of them are obviously faking their smiles for the sake of the show. Just like here. I don’t doubt that they’re enjoying what they’re doing, but it’s pretty obvious in Andre’s shows at least that a lot is for the sake of the show.
To my ears it sounds like they managed to recreate the original sound from the original recording. Really well done. I'm sure that took some research to get this close. I enjoyed that very much.
@@remiem-iw7uk No, arrangements and the "sound" of an orchestra make a huge difference. To recreate a "sound" like they did here takes craft not just reading and playing from a score. But hey, maybe you don't hear the difference. Thats fine.
@@gustavobueno8579Williams probably has written more instantly recognizable themes than any other single movie composer that I’m aware of. Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman, E.T., Jurassic Park, the list goes on and on.
@@TracyTame I think the reason is that Barry developed the original orchestration based on Monty Norman's work. Like how movies will have credits for both the original story and the script version used for filming. So...Barry gets credited because he took Norman's original composition and fleshed it out enough that it wasn't just Norman's work alone.
He was a genius, but he did not write this theme. It was written by Monty Norman, and it has a very unexpected origin: th-cam.com/video/D8PjRFaSinc/w-d-xo.html
I'm not sure if james Bond movies would have made it to the iconic status that it holds without this MASTERPIECE. I was born in 1961 and this music makes me very homesick for my youth... The Bond movies were unbelievably awesome for an adventurous young boy (most young girls weren't into it at that time.) but this piece was equally responsible for the franchise's success... I hope that somewhere in the future holds another Daniel Craig and another song like Skyfall... I can only hope...
@@carlsmith4568 But the point Sercan Gök made, is that if it does not sounds exactly (good or bad) like the original theme, then it is not a 'Perfect REproduction'.
There are, though some of them are from Japan like the navy th-cam.com/video/h_bjUI-p7m4/w-d-xo.html , the army th-cam.com/video/DaTBdDX3L7o/w-d-xo.html or the firefighters th-cam.com/video/jIrMauRyUxE/w-d-xo.html It's the main theme of Detective Conan which you can say is the equivalent of the James Bond main theme.
@@Qardo 47 would've killed the conductor, taken his clothes, and conducted the concert perfectly, thus preserving the conductor's reputation. Silent Assassin rating.
@@Vinterfrid They tend to be in James Bond but I would go with it being an unexpected way to get the queue from a conductor that is funny. Had they threw in fake blood etc you might have a point .
Ngl my heart lurched when the sniper’s viewfinder ran over the guitarist’s fingers like ffs, at least let the man finish that riff before you shoot him else we perish!!! 😂 never fail to keep me at the edge of my seat!
ONE theme has countless millions fans remembering numerous different scenes from a handful of actors playing the one same character... What a culturally rich theme this is. For me particularly, it's the tank chase scene in Goldeneye!!!
That is from the film series more vapid ear (the 90's). Wrong for that to be your favorite scene. Anything from Bond films after 1983 is all wrong to be your favorite. How about a scene from 'Goldfinger'?
@@hochiminhwasamass-murderer8922 I don't dislike the early movies, and I certainly respect them a lot, along with your opinion. But you need to understand Goldeneye was the one I grew up watching on a almost weekly basis. For me, it's the best one, even though I'm well aware most would disagree.
That, was AWESOME!! Been watching Bond movies for over 50 years and that is the first time I've seen or heard the theme played live, and they nailed it. Wow!!
Although the screen indicates that John Barry wrote the signature Bond Theme song, Monty Norman actually wrote and composed the "James Bond Theme" and received royalties from 1962 until his death in 2022. Norman collected around £600,000 in royalties between 1976 and 1999. John Barry, however, did make an enormous contribution to the Bond Theme song, with his stunning orchestral arrangement, and, of course, Barry went on to compose--as well as arrange--other Bond songs. And guitarist Vic Flick's electric guitar playing was also vital to the music.
It's too funny this intro, even if I've watched it 10 times. The gasps from the audience, the Bond intro, the laughs following. Just brilliantly thought up and executed.
One of the best new yet original orchestration versions I've heard. Good extended semi free jazz section near the end and then a unique and very effective climax to it all.
The Conductor taking a bullet for the show - that man is committed to his art! :)
Dulce et decorum est pro artem mori. ;)
@@Quotenwagnerianer Gloria victis
You said it just right
🤣
Is was a paintball
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you!
What's most impressive to me is not just that they performed flawlessly, but that they did so without a conductor.
If you notice, they all have an earpiece in on one side so that the conductor can direct them by microphone
Makes you wonder why they need a conductor at all.
They had to, to save the western world from Spectre.
They were syncing to the percussionist who keep time better than the rest of us mortals!
They had IEMs to keep on beat
The conductor laying dead through the entire performance was amazing. 😂👏🏼
This is w/o a doubt, one of the greatest themes of our time. It will outlive us all. Cheers. 🍸
Let’s be real everyone felt like a badass playing that song
Love the comment!
Oh yeah.
Clearly 🏹🎯🎩♟️🎿🏒🎲🎥🎞️🎻
Finally on stage without a conductor. He had it coming
yes, but dark glasses are necessary for the full effect.
I love that they have kept the same theme music throughout all the Bond movies. When I hear that first chord, I know I’m in for a good time.
In my opinion, it would be sacrilege to change any part of the iconic theme that belongs to MI6 Agent 007. Bond's theme will always make me feel proud to be British
I've heard of the band killing the director, but never heard of them hiring a sniper to do the job and then continuing to play music as if nothing happened! Brilliant staging!
On the contrary - quite tasteless!
@@Vinterfrid Taste is a question of personal opinion. From a perspective of artistary and entatainment, this is brilliant.
@@TheAngelOfDeath01 *artistry and *entertainment but otherwise, yes.
The one you heard of, was it Terrence Fletcher?
@@Vinterfrid Grow up. No conductors were harmed in this episode.
One thing I love about The Danish National Symphony, they go all out on their performances. Great opening.
He literally died for his art
The commitment to lay there the whole time 😂
Without a conductor it’s insanely impressive
This most magnificent music has left me shaken, not stirred.
🍸
I am shaken AND stirred.😊
I was lucky enough to watch it live in January 2020.
It was the last event I visited before the Covid era.
SO memorable that it was totally worth the hassel to drive almost 1000km for the concert.
This was the opening song of the concert, and the actor was so dedicted that he layed on the floor the entire song.
Kudos to u!
The real conductor came out after this song.
it's very difficult to be in any position for a length of time like that. try standing still for several minutes.
🍀 lucky you been able to watch this majestic performance. ☺️
@@miriamalvarado6477 Haha, I agree. Sadly Covid puts all concert on hold.

Cool story bro.
The sax player is just SO into it. He's really enjoying the music and the vibe.
Saxophonists, who are rarely allowed to play with an orchestra, are understandably a bit "jazzed" when the opportunity arises. 🎷🐝
"Do you expect me to conduct?"
"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"
Goldfinger
😅😅😅 that was good!!
Goldfinger!!!
Haha, that’s awesome. Cheerio
😂😂😂 Mr goldfinger
What I love about this iconic performance is how the orchestra is having an absolut blast playing. What a joy to watch
Very much so.
True. Watch Andre Rieu's orchestra too. They ALWAYS have a blast. SUCH joy!!
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBarsI mean yeah, that’s a whole performance built around joy and the magic of music and such, many of them are obviously faking their smiles for the sake of the show.

Yeah, it's a jam session now without the conductor.
Very impressive, well done
To my ears it sounds like they managed to recreate the original sound from the original recording. Really well done. I'm sure that took some research to get this close. I enjoyed that very much.
I agree.
Guitar solo is too soft. Way too soft.
The brass are dragging a little bit but other than that it's pretty good
Ummm....It's called playing from the musical score. It's what musicians DO!
@@remiem-iw7uk No, arrangements and the "sound" of an orchestra make a huge difference. To recreate a "sound" like they did here takes craft not just reading and playing from a score. But hey, maybe you don't hear the difference. Thats fine.
RIP the conductor :( gave his life for the performance :(
- I play in the Danish National Symphony Orchestra
- What do you play?
- Sniper rifle
One of the cap guns at the end of For a Few Dollars More failed to go off.
We have a winner :D
Golden gun
Just in case someone sneezes, coughs or has the ringtone of the phone not muted ....
-"Sniping's a good job, mate."
Getting rid of the conductor right off the bat is a stroke of genius. Dr. No would have totally approved. They are so freaking good.
Nooo
Probably one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of music ever written !
Al igual que el tema de "Misión Imposible"
star wars theme too
@@gustavobueno8579Williams probably has written more instantly recognizable themes than any other single movie composer that I’m aware of. Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman, E.T., Jurassic Park, the list goes on and on.
The second or may be first is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
What I have always liked with the Bond movies music is the mix of sophistication and menace...
One of The Best theme of cinematography to me
Delicious ... Nastygood... I am 56 years old and have been a Bond fan since I was 7!!! Thanks Mom and dad!!! Very Very Well Done!!!!!!!!!
I remember going to the theater in about 1962 to see Bond. Probably From Russia with Love
@@tommackay7433That is a damn good Bond movie.
I feel the same way as a 57 year old

It just never gets old!

We have much to thank Monty Norman and John Barry for
@@baileyjerman5573 1962-Present if you count Dr. No-Die Another Day and Casino Royale-No Time To Die.
yeah me too Amazon bought MGM so they are all on Amazon Prime got to live and let die. Connery Brosnan the others well...
I agree. John Barry took Monty Norman's catchy tune and made it bigger than life!
Here because I'm watching all the James Bond movies in order and this theme music is. The. Best.
This orchestra ALWAYS does a PERFECT REPRODUCTION of the movie theme they're "reviewing".
Amen
Exactly!
Nope. They usually make their own versions of it by slightly changing things. What you said is false.
@@sercangok523 sounded pretty damn good to me
@@carlsmith4568 But the point Sercan Gök made, is that if it does not sounds exactly (good or bad) like the original theme, then it is not a 'Perfect REproduction'.
Most clever opening
It was this, or someone sliding cross the scene in a Cello case.
What an incredible performance starting with the conductor being assassinated.
WHAT DRAMA
Serious musicians with a sense of humor.... luv it!
I LOVE this. This is my most favorite version.
Seriously, the DNSO is one of THE best orchestras on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are a unique orchestra. If more orchestras were like this, more people would go see an orchestra.
There are, though some of them are from Japan like the navy th-cam.com/video/h_bjUI-p7m4/w-d-xo.html , the army th-cam.com/video/DaTBdDX3L7o/w-d-xo.html or the firefighters th-cam.com/video/jIrMauRyUxE/w-d-xo.html It's the main theme of Detective Conan which you can say is the equivalent of the James Bond main theme.
The Danish National Symphony is indeed incredible!
As a Dane, we are really proud of them, though they also use a Norwegian singer once in a while.
Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa. Best orchestra. Who else would not only play every piece amazingly, but go to all the trouble to stage such relevant silliness?
Masterpiece of John Barry! Spectacle and immortal! When we hear james bond appears instantly!!!
Man, actually the starting was pretty dramatic and funny. But RIP Conductor sir
Well, clearly wasn't 47. Too many witnesses.
@@Qardo 47 would've killed the conductor, taken his clothes, and conducted the concert perfectly, thus preserving the conductor's reputation. Silent Assassin rating.
People being killed funny? I beg to differ.
@@Vinterfrid They tend to be in James Bond but I would go with it being an unexpected way to get the queue from a conductor that is funny. Had they threw in fake blood etc you might have a point .
They had a lady conductor for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Was this her revenge for being replaced? Or she didn't want to be called a "Bond Girl"?
This epic music will not die for another 1000 years.
Never fails to get a smile. Wish I could watch them live.
Look at all that talent...............
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra should be known way more than it is... They play everything the best.
AGREED! ✨👏🏼😎✨
the 2011 from the bbc proms is way better, give it a listen
@@James-rc6qq I did that.. And i still think this one is better. But both are good versions.

Hands down the greatest theme song in the history of cinema
This was excellent
@Paul Simonson you must be fun at parties.
@Paul Simonson As long as it was one of the stuck on their own self-importance, stick in the mud coaches, I'm fine with it...
~ Outstanding Team Work Performances ~ ❤
come on guys, don't you see it (yet)? There is a spirit of this theme, and you guys in the orchestra SEE IT CLEARLY. wow. TOP interpretation.
Just great++++++
Man I love this orchestra, I couldn't stop laughing every time i saw the conductor on the ground! 😆
Possibly the best rendition of this musical piece by any orchestra . . .
Consumate professionals with a wickedly twisted sense of humour. Next level musicians to boot.

JB: Who are you?
PG: My name is Pussy Galore.
JB: I must be dreaming.
My most vivid memory with this iconic theme is the original Bond and the first movie.
Thank you from an Old Man 74, for a chance to go back to 1962 The Best of Bond..........
Remember Oh good another James Bond movie and somewhere Oh yeah good, another James Bond sorta movie. 69 here btw.
for me, this is the best ever 007 theme played!.....the best! (what an actor he is!!!)
Danish Orchestra is....
Awesome 🎉🎉
I just love James bond music theme... It gives you the feel of suspense, thriller & action packed !
That, was AWESOME!! Been watching Bond movies for over 50 years and that is the first time I've seen or heard the theme played live, and they nailed it. Wow!!
Another very controlled, professional & sublime performance by TDNSO.
They never fail to deliver...fantastic.
This is brilliant, spectacular and so beautiful, masterpiece!!! thank you guys for such amazing 3:50 minutes of enjoying
I can picture myself sitting in the cinema back in the 1962, this is awesome !
I did this with gun shot and all, a bit of drama, as entrance when called in to give Dad’ speech at my son’s wedding a week ago…fun..big JB fan…
I love this orchestra.Always surprising,always beautiful.
This is the best start to a concert ever 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Best known orchestra!! Love from India.
Incredible intelligence and dedication of all these artist's is ringing loud. Thank you for showing it
James Bond is a brutal killer, he killed the orchestra conductor, but the team was prepared already. They played fabulous.
Wow that second half rendition is just flawless
The Bond theme, so good, and they do it perfectly...again. 1st The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, now this.
Ovo je najbolji simfonijski orkestar koji sam ja gledao i slušao sve čestitke sjajni ste
LOL the conductor stayed dead during the whole thing. What a performance by him!
く〜何だかわからんけど何度聴いても泣ける😂
Credit too must be given to the crew that filmed and edited this great performance. A nearly perfect little Bond film all by itself.
One of the most iconic theme songs of all time. Its so iconic that everytime it plays youll remember james bond 007z
Fantastic! As a former trumpet player I can affirm that horn section rocks! This just proved how dynamic the Bond theme really is…
Amazing

This theme is incredible. It always gives me goosebumps
Mange tusind tak fra naborlandet Sverige!
It's too funny this intro, even if I've watched it 10 times. The gasps from the audience, the Bond intro, the laughs following. Just brilliantly thought up and executed.
I vote a resounding “YES”to this version/performance of Dr. No. Two thumbs up!
Iconic theme beautifully played....Forever grateful
Without James bond there is no 007. James bond is 007
El único verdadero 007 ha sido James Bond y ningún otro llegado posteriormente.
Two words are enough to describe this: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION...
The Danish National Symphony is magnificent!
The whole room yelling "daaatthh" is just absolutely insane and SO awesome 😎👍
John Barry …. Genius . Ladies and gentlemen I would be honoured to have you play this live at every significant moment of my life .
Not a big band or orchestra person but would pay dearly to see & hear this best in class orchestra.
This is what is missing in recent bond movies.. the classic orchestrated theme song. The movie is incomplete without this
I thought that they were using this for the credits at the end.
JESUS ... That Thumbnail is doing some WORK!!! xDD
This makes me want to watch the whole 24 movies of this franchise all over again
Enjoyed the sax player, and then it just got even better. The orchestra achieved perfect blend.
He's Hans Ulrik , an accomplished jazz musician
Like a typical first 20 minutes of a James Bond movie 🎥 Love 💕 it👍😱
Holy Jesus! This is Absolutely Fabulous!
Best opening thrilling scene like any other Bond movie. Enjoyed thoroughly.
Words cannot express how much I love the beginning, it's so creative, hits so hard I love it so much huge congrats to everyone
I love this James bound double O theme; the horn section is just great, fabulous, great score
One of the best new yet original orchestration versions I've heard. Good extended semi free jazz section near the end and then a unique and very effective climax to it all.
What a nice and perfect intro to one of the best James Bond songs! Love the Danish National Symphony Orchestra!
