October 13th was Monkey Island Music Day (special thanks to Joystiq for ordaining it so), and by association, LucasArts Adventure Game Music Day. To celebrate I posted a broken link (now fixed) to a Monkey Island music archive and told a sad story about my disappointing Video Games Live LucasArts themes experience.
I was directed to a shitty video of the same performance, which didn't do much for my estimation of the event, but adjacent to it on the YouTube list was a better video from the same concert. This one captures the Grim Fandango theme on ShakyCam, but the visuals are unimportant. The music is what counts, and I'm wondering now what acoustic curse kept it from sounding this good in the picnic seats where I was planted.
