Did you ever wonder how they did the music for The Good, the Bad & the Ugly? It is so cool to see how it was made after all these years. Some of you may not be old enough to remember this classic from the '60s'. Here it is anyway. This is fantastic. Turn it up nice and loud and enjoy. For those still caught in the '60s groove -- this is the answer to how that magnificent signature tune came about...Superb....wait till the guy whistles!

This is what you had on your 8 track. The original sound track done by I believe an Italian Orchestra.Hence the name Spaghetti Western:

I’d like to hear a rocked up version with distorted electric guitars.
Thanks.
These guys are good but it's almost more of a parody.
Here's The Real Thing
Look at the list in #5 and assign the sounds to the instrument listed.
Pretty cool if you do.
Thanks — that is pure awesome. Perfect music for driving about 110 mph.
Do know of a video of an orchestra that recreates the original?
This movie’s contribution to 80s music. Love it and this song;

Nope just got this link..Maybe they didn’t make videos in the 60’s when the sound track was cut:
