And Basil now dwells at the right hand of Crom, forever....

30 years later, Conan The Barbarian still has the one the best movie soundtracks of all time

Basil Poledouris, may your name and music live forever, just like those of Mozart, Beethoven and Vivaldi.

Riders of Doom is the best motivational song ever. Doesn't matter what state of mind you're starting from, it makes you want to grab a sword and fight evil head on, while crying tears of joy.

One of the best examples of the soundtrack making the movie, Arnold owes a great debt to Basil

I would give my right arm to see this soundtrack played live. It's been my MOST favorite soundtrack and movie since it came out when I was 13 or 14 yrs old. I was in love with it then and it remains THE BEST soundtrack EVER!!! So under rated in the mainstream movie world. I'm so glad they went with Basil and this style for the movie. The soundtrack made the movie in many respects. Yes, Crom is pleased :)

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

Unquestionably one of the Greatest Movie Soundtracks of All-Time

and to think that this movie was originally going to have a pop music soundtrack, THANK GOD THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, there is indeed justice in this world

Too those who think there is too much cowbell... First it is called The Anvil of Crom, for a reason... Second, it is the representation of not only the protagonists struggle, but of the fantastical period where strife and struggle are as common as breath... 3rd CROM LAUGHS AT YOUR FOOLISH OPINION... Truly, he was a gifted man, and made the movies all the more richer with his ability. He took the gifted musicians, and their powers, forging their skill into a ballad epic worthy of accompanying Crom's mighty champion... May he rest in Valhalla as a skald forever.

Sadly, he was a criminally underrated great! Easily on par with John Williams and Ennio Marricone.

RIP Basil Poledouris your music will be remembered and will echo through out the centuries to come!

Best film score past, present, and forever! IT HAS NO EQUAL!

best soundtrack ever..hands down..

a true masterpiece from a true music genius...this pleases CROM......

This music will live forever !!! Hail Basil !!! Hail Conan !!!

So nice he got to do this just before joining Crom and finally accepted and realized the love and admiration that so many fans have for him and his music. What a Musical Legend, we love you Basil ☘️

This is WARRIOR/SOLDIER music....nothing pumps up the soul like this ready for combat.

His music will live on for eternity!

went to hit like, turns out I already hit like on this years ago

It makes me wonder.He was Greek and now I see him wearing black,an old tradition in my country for those who mourn the loss of a loved one.He seems so fragile,so weak.Did he know?Did he know he was dying? What beautiful music he composed!His memory will live forever by his music through us!

Great Basil Podelouris, R.I.P. His music was better then the movies 😊

This is far beyond a movie soundtrack, this is a classic that should be taught at the academy!

Only great minds in history could ever invent new ways of music.. A Bach, a Mozart.. And in a way basil belongs in this same street of geniuses.. Thank you for giving us the anvil of crom and Many more!

One of the most inspiring soundtracks ever created.

So much of his heart and soul went into these masterpieces.

The only way I would have enjoyed the opening bit more is if somebody had spoken the first few words of the movie. "Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!" Goosebumps all around every time I hear this. Poledouris movie scores were genius. Even in sub-par movies they left the impression of an epic journey and managed to engage you emotionally to the end. A great, great artist. Thanks a lot for sharing this, and thanks to Basil Poledouris for composing the music he did.

Big respect to everyone in that orchestra ❤️👊🤗❤️👊

Best original score of all time!

I'm still listening this in 2021 and everytime is a new emotion Basil is the best!!!

Long live Conan!! And this beautiful soundtrack!! Thank you very much Mr Poledouris.

Mr. Poledouris did what the ancient Romans called Res Gestae - things done. He did great things writing and playing his music.

I loved this music since my childhood watching these types of movies

The king Conan!

This score is simply sublime! I have listened to this soundtrack hundreds of times. It never fails to move me, to make my hairs stand on end! R.I.P. Basil Poledouris, a musical genius taken too soon from us. We are grateful for the gifts you left us!

Basil Poledouris will always be alive within his great music.

Fire and wind come from the sky From the gods of the sky But crom is your god Crom and he lives in the earth Once giants lived in the earth conan and in the darkness of chaos they fooled crom and took from him the enigma of steel Crom was angered and the Earth shook Fire and wind struck down these giants And threw their bodies into the waters But in their rage the gods forgot the secret of steel And left if upon the battlefield And those who found it Are just men Not gods Not Giants Just Men The riddle of steel has always carried with it a mystery You must learn its riddle conan For no one can your trust Not Men Not Women Not beasts.... This you can trust.

I got goosebumps on top of my goosebumps; this is so epic!

Show...Basil Paledouris eterrno!

Basil Poledouris deserve a oscar.

CROM!

Listening to this after so long is literally giving me goosebumps. Id like too thank my mother for takin me to drive-in movie theater to watch this at 8 yrs old!

OMFG I loooooved playing Basils Music. Best memory of being in an orchestra ever!

Crom is pleased with such glory! Mr Poludouris take a bow we are deeply grateful and always will be.

Im Begleitext steht: "leider starb er 4 Monate nach diesem Konzert.." Ich selbst finde, dass es wundervoll anzusehen ist, eine Gnade, dass ein Filmkomponist von seiner Klasse vor seinem Tod noch die Möglichkeit hatte, eine der schönsten Filmmusiken, nochmal in dieser Weise an ein wahrhaft dankbares Publikum zu bringen. Wenn man von Bedauern sprechen will, dann sollte es uns gelten, die wir keine Gelegenheit hatten, das live zu erleben. Aber das Leben ist eben voller verpasster Gelegenheiten.

this is one of the finest pieces of music of all time rest in piece Basil.

Basil laughs at your four winds from his mountain. He finally discovered the riddle of steel. RIP

Damn, this is so epic that makes me wanting to create another account just to click on Like again. Awesome!!

I seek out every version of Basil's work. Perhaps my favorite film score ever! May he rest in peace.

Beautiful!!

EPIC, MAGNIFICENT PIECE.

tears.... amazing

Rest in Peace Great Genius Maestro

2:30 crying..

MASTERPIECE!!!

must be a fun song for the dude banging on the drums. if i was him i'd have rocked just a loincloth for this piece XD

Such a great composer

My among top 3 favorite movie soundtracks ever and Conan The Barbarian is still on of my favorite movies, despite not the best actor performances. A lot of time I play this melody in my mind or sing it

cant believe this was the "only live show" given by Poledouris! im glad it was in Spain though!!!!! Conan was mainly filmed in Spain! i am half spanish after all! gracias por subirlo! thanx for uploading!

Even more epic live. Incredible.

Anvil of crom is just pure heavy artillery with that metal on metal sound

Basil was so awesome. His both scores to "Conan" are legendary. His score to "RoboCop" is fantastic!

OMG today 2015 this piece of Raiders of Doom from Conan is still the best music EVER!!!!!!

The greatest OST of all time! Gosh Basil Poledaris died too soon, RIP!

lo de ¨maestro¨ debio haber sido sido con MAYUSCULAS! Gracias por tanta magia, Basil!!!!!!!

Absolute favorite jam

I imagine Howard listening to this and hence finding the courage not to kill himself ... we d have tons of Conan stories :) RIP o unknown genius

If you about to die in a heroic way you want this in your head. With music like this fueling you the world will yield to you.

'Cause no one in this world you can thrust... Not men... Not women... Not beast... This you can thrust

I don't think we'd have the theme of Isengard without this piece.

Hpw can this not have been voted the best sound track ever by so called experts for so many times that the term "light year" actually seems like somthing low in numbers. This is magic, poetry, brilliance and perfection! Amazing!!

Conan could even fight without his sword 🗡️,but not without this wonderful masterpiece! ❤️ Bravo to the Spanish orquestra from Andalucia and the missed unequalled Composer, I can not understand why he never won an OSCAR, doesn't matter,the academy didn't but the whole world did 🤗❤️

Conan, what is the meaning of life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women

Everything he touched was graced with cataclysmic brilliance. Basil would have stood before Crom, and when asked "What is the riddle of steel?" He would have answered ... *stab*

How many times have I heard this music and envisioned in my mind what it was like to see it being played live? Amazing. Gave me chills.

The men of my tribe were clean-shaven when this music burst upon the land. By the time the sun was low in the sky, they all had full beards. Basil Poledouris sits at Crom's side and smiles.

I love when the gong and sopranos get going in Riders of Doom. It's just as the Aesir are slamming into the village killing everyone.

Beautiful score. A true legend.

He did Crom proud! Much luv, light and mad respect to greatness!

I love how some players watch the screening at times.

to give your right arm to see this soundtrack played is worth it, and your arm will grow back after hearing this.. with sword in hand.

Foi o último concerto público regido por Basil. Pouco tempo depois, ele faleceu.

A great man, in appearance so much more humble than many people of lesser talents.

What an amazing sounds. I always wondered, how a group of people can work so well attached together, so synchronised.

This music fitted the movie perfectly. I've listened to these tracks since I was a kid, copying Conan's moves with my toy sword.

I would give my right arm to be there. Seeing live my favorite soundtrack of ALL time for eternity, what an awsome maestro, Basil. RIP

Epic Basil! One of the very best stracks in recorded history!!!

What is best in life.

i wish it was recorded at a higher quality

Basil Poludouris..A Great Man and a Great Maestro

Thanks for share!! This is incredible !!!

Absolutely fantastic.

Actually seeing the orchestra at work is much better than just listening to it

This was awesome to watch live.. awesome in the movie.. awesome when I play it randomly.. just totally awesome. Great job sir..may you sit next to Crom and live the next afterlife in greatness

in the halls of Valhalla you will find Jerryu Goldsmith, James Horner and Basil Poldouris and many more

Thanks, Basil, for such a masterpiece

Still my favorite film score after all these years. This is a rare treasure. Thanks for posting

Basil you were a genius. May you sit at the right hand of Crom.

Without this awesome soundtrack, there is no Conan.

What an ear for music. Basil is my favorite for sure. So beautiful.
