I'm 36....heard this theme tune thousands of times.... but SEEING it being performed... just WOW. Masterpiece.

2:39 It’s him the man who is responsible for one of the most iconic TV theme tunes of all time

oh my god the lighting makes them yellow

[josebalbuena]

Danny Elfman is a legend, not only composed one of my favorite tv shows. He composed one of my favorite movies of all time ” Spider-Man”. I surely think both titles wouldn't be the same without his work.

[alcovitch]

To think that he wrote this in his head on his drive home after seeing a pencil sketch of the opening and wrote the whole thing in a day.

[stephanthienel]

Just now realizing that, with a full orchestra, this sounds like a Gershwin song.

[tomhacks]

This is interesting, we are used to hear this theme as a custom but few really appreciate this is actually a masterpiece on a performance

[latinace]

Forget expert these guys are master musicians

I never knew that Harrison Ford had an orchestra.

[antoineosburn]

I mean how can he not laugh orchestrating that. I would be cracking up. Brilliant work.

[AmandaGabrelle]

This is my favourite version! I keep coming back to listen to it! xx

[fasmanyeshiva]

i feel like "jolly" is the perfect word to describe this

[Valentina.Crepax]

I saw Danny Elfman in Glasgow few years ago and the orchestra played this song at the end. It was amazing. The entire concert was incredible, amazing experience.

The Best live Konzert from the simpsons music.😍😘

[maks_volchonok]

And you can imagine that Simpsons attended this concert: Lisa is listening with great joy, Marge is delighted too, Bart is singing inappropriate words, Homer is trying to silence him, little Maggie is sucking on her pacifier and looking at everything, because she is first time at the concert, and grandpa Abe sleeps and wakes up only when music ended...

[jemandjemand]

so the simpson theme is now officially a classic musicpiece

[millenniumf]

Watching this performed live at a slower tempo than the recording used in the show really demonstrates how difficult it is to play music in this style with rapid arpeggios and scales. Your fingers would be on fire afterward!

Anyone else notice at 0:44 how they were out of sync but then corrected themselves at 0:48, the sheer talent for that many people to take only 4 seconds to correct themselves is astounding. Excellent performance!!
