1 Million Points for telling me what this song is...

[theplayerpimp]

I got my undergraduate degree at Wichita State University, and am now going there for grad school, meaning I get free tickets to the basketball games. They definitely use that theme to bring out our players and introduce them... it makes my body go cold every time, because it's so badass, especially in a giant arena, on huge speakers meant to really get to everyone in the arena in a loud way. And I know I'm the only one in the arena who gets that big of an emotional vibe from it.



El Son de la Negra! Morales walked out to it a bunch, and I know Barrera did in the first fight.

But... that wasn't the part from 0:00 to 0:25 that I asked about.

i downloaded the link they just talked at that part then barrera came out then morales after him

OHHH, yeah, I know those intros. My bad, I checked my files and found a 699MB version of the fight, assumed it was the same file in your link and didn't download. I'll d/l and see if I can identify a little later.

Just a side note... can we agree that those Skidz intros are far and away the coolest things in your fight fight library? I love those so much, even though they just give facts about the pre-fight that most people knew about it... they were just very well done.

Oh my god, I'm so ******... I fixed the link. I put the wrong one. I'm so ****** sometimes. You got green K out of it though... hopefully it made up for it.

I think that's Spanish Caravan by The Doors.

HOLY FUCK!

You got it right! I have seriously been trying to find what song that is for like three years. 1 million points are on the way.

Upon doing some more research, I found out that the part of Spanish Caravan in the video comes from the prelude of Chants d'Espagne, a suite of piano pieces written by Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. The prelude was also given the titles Asturias and Leyenda when it was incorporated into an extended version of Albéniz's Suite española, two years after the composer's death. It was first transcribed for the guitar by Francisco Tárrega.

John L. Williams plays it here:


It always gives me the image of something like this when I hear it:


It really sets the scene of a forest at dusk, the moment after the sun dips below the horizon, but the burning orange glow remains... anyone in that forest would succumb to a great feeling of uneasiness to the point of near panic.

I probably sound like a psychopath right now, going on about this in such detail, and showing how much research I just did over this after finding it, but... This music really spoke to me the first time I heard it, and I couldn't share my thoughts and feelings on it until now.

Why didn't you just ask Skid?

[Fox McCloud]

Why didn't you just ask Skid?

I did... Lol, he couldn't remember and all he knew was that when he first heard it, he thought it would be perfect for the intro of this fight.

[Fix]

wow that was a nice john l williams performance! very evocative track
