1281 Spaghetti Western Orchestra - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Later... with Jools Holland is one of the shows I've been into for quite some time now, however the only time I seem to get to watch it is when I'm having a bout with insomnia due to it only being available at 1:00 in the morning. Anyway, the other night I happened upon a re-run of the show which featured the Spaghetti Western Orchestra.
As their name implies, they play selections from the Spaghetti Westerns as well as other Westerns; the music written by Ennio Morricone in particular. From what I understand they were originally called the "Ennio Morricone Experience," but for some reason they are now known as the Spaghetti Western Orchestra.
Anyway, this is, of course, the theme to Sergio Leone's epic masterpiece film: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly written by Ennio Morricone; the original theatrical version of the song can be heard here on YouTube.

Watch the live performance from Later... with Jools Holland on YouTube.
