Quote from The British Grove Broadcast: "I’m sure you’d get lots of different answers if you ask people what their favourite Ennio Morricone piece was because there are so many pieces that mark out a major film territory over the past 40 odd years and I could probably still remember “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” music that I would be probably be singing in a classroom, banging on my desk. I used to get into trouble for making those electric guitar sounds with my voice, you know, and still, lots of bits in me that don’t grow up and I still do “Wipe Out” on tabletops. But, going back to Morricone, he had a huge effect on me, I think. You pick up all, a lot of signals that he put into his music, and they come out in lots of other ways. Anyhow, I remember touring in Italy a long time ago and meeting mister Morricone, they brought him along into a hotel where I was and we had a nice time together and I mentioned a piece of music, I think it was “The Strong” from “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” and mister Morricone went out to a piano and attempted to remember how it went but of course he made so many pieces of music, but anyway, he had a pretty good go and we had a pretty good time."

Honestly, I'm surprised about the mild interest around his death, nobody seems to care. I thought a figure like his would be interesting to everybody, but his death is not even in the top news of the day. What happened with this world man?

I mean in general, and since you've mentioned, Ennio is popular in Russia and usually, the death of a celebrity will result in their name instantly trending on Twitter and Yandex to name a few. Not only that, but few sources from my Twitter following actually tweeted about it, and I follow a lot of sources and American and British newspapers and such, and also musicians. Just from my experience as an internet user I can say that the interest is crazily low considering the man's legacy. I'm just sad about that. But you're right, people who care they care anyways, so here's that.

Just wanted to say that the term “legend” is thrown around everyone these days but Ennio really deserves either that, or a word that is yet to be invented.

My favourite work from Morricone is the theme from “My name is Nobody” - it’s so positive and happy and I’m sure Mark would like/ likes it as well.
And also hope you watch that movie, Henry Fonda and Terence Hill going on about the philosophy of life while humour and wild west are just side themes. Trust me, you will feel good after it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

Well, saw it on TV news this morning (Portugal) and also on the radio (well, Antena 2, a radio that plays lot of classic - and good - music).

The music Hal Lindes refers to, is that the very dramatic music at the beginning of the Alchemy concert, when the guy announces " ... Dire Straits!"? Wonder what movie that is from.

Edit: Someone asked the question to Hal, and he said "he good, bad & the ugly - pumped through the mega PA system night after night." Must have been a different tour than the Love Over Gold tour then?

In the Alchemy that music is Mark's own "Stargazer" theme from Local Hero, but they played Ennio Morricone before shows earlier:

Thanks for the link to the earlier show. It's a great opening indeed!

Bruce Springsteen used to play Morricone's "Once Upon A Time In The West" before or after the show, quite surreal hearing it on a giant stadium full of screaming people. In fact, it's where it belongs! Gets me every time. People just lose it when whey hear it. One of the best tunes on the planet.

A great gentleman and a maestro went off into the sunset. RIP
If I realised that the chances were slim,
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in
