"Live in Ireland" was the first "real" pipe band album I obtained after I started learning the pipes. That was way before youtube and the plethora of easy access to recordings, so I listened to that album hundreds of times and it made quite the impression on me. This medley, along with the rest of the album is permanently seared into my mind in a good way. I'm sure I'm not alone. What a treat to hear a medley from that era brought back in its entirety.
Brilliant. The 78th are back 👍👍🙌🙌
I couldn't believe that old medley had returned with an updated version. Happy 40th anniversary to the Mason's Apron Medley. I also loved how slow airs (Mist Covered Mountains and Behind The Hills) combind together since the Megantic Outlaw concert from Saint John, New Brunswick from 1992.
That was a BLAST FROM THE PAST! But great to hear again in 2024.
Great Job love the opener, and especially 4th part of LC!!!!
LOVE THAT MEDLEY!!!!! Thanks for bringing it back, Mikey!! So well done, everyone!!
What an opener !
A real blast from the past. Bravo.
A medley to win.
Lovely to hear these old classics again. Hence the Balmorals ?
No. When the band was formed they wore these hats (and they're just hats). Bill Livingstone always thought they gave a "minstrel vibe" to the band and that suited. That said, there is nothing "minstrel" about the great soldiers and pipers and piper-soldiers who wear - and have worn - this style of hat.
Old. School. Fantastic.
We love you, Michael!
"Mason's" is a fun tune, "Cascade" is an intense/compelling tune, but man if those tunes in between aren't melancholy-inducing. There's something kind of bittersweet or even heart-wrenching about them. It's hard to describe. "Sad" is not the right word but definitely evocative of a kind of reflective mood. Thank you for playing this medley! Great sound, too.
Agree completely!
There´s a word in portuguese for that: saudade
@@SebastianGeymonat Excellent! Nostalgia for sure. Subsequently, the phrase "blue note" occurred to me.
Balmorals. . . !
MAGNIFICENT💛Michael!😎🫶
(So glad to hear you're back at the helm of our beloved 'Frasers'!)❤
Innovative and brilliant, unlike some of the guff some bands are trying.
Guff is a great word. And bands everywhere are playing great tunes in great style. Good to have lots of styles.
No intro e
21st century pipe bands have been effeminized. Strathclyde Police 1960s-1990s was amazing stirring as was Dysart, Shotts Edinburgh Police. 21st century pipe bands arent worth listening to or watching. They do notinspire. Pipe bands have lost their strong male, military bearing character. There should be a male only bands category, female only category, and mixed category(to satisfy the PC Wokesters). Modern pipe bands are way too wimpy now. Deep down you know it's true.
