I have a different genetic condition from birth. Every time I see steam machinery and whistles blowing, I cry and then shout "Why Did They Have To Take Them Away !!!!!?"
I love how the keyboardist just riffs on various songs of various origins. My favorite is how they riff on Roll Out the Barrell during the whole second half.
These river boats are, the primary use was up and down the Mississippi River, they carried everything from cotton bales to jellies and jams, and live stock. They are surprisingly shallow draft for close to shore operations, and have a Texas deck.
@@truthseeker2321 The Delta Queen was from the Sacramento River in California so they were a nationwide transport method, quite a few found there way up to Alaska for the Klondike gold rush.
The ship goes up from New Orleans up the mississippi and ohio rivers makes various stops along the way. Its very nice riding aboard the river boat. Its also owned by an american company. So is Pearl cruises and the SS Badger both still cruising the great lakes for 78 years❤
First time I heard this was going across the river bridge in chester Illinois, in my car, couldn't quite make out that squalling sounds but went down to the riverfront and was amazed... always try to catch it when it comes to chester... btw Chester is home of Popeye and it plays the Popeye theme when leaving there
@@truthseeker2321 southern Illinois has Ozark hills and is very scenic.. check out some research on Shawnee National Forest and you will be in for a shock (it can qualify for a National Park)
My wife and I had occasion to take the American Queen from New Orleans to Natchez and back. Too fine to explain. We encourage all who may be hesitant to book package and enjoy a restful and entertaining time.
I always wanted to ride on the Delta Queen, but since she no longer makes runs up and down the rivers and the Mississippi Queen has been dismantled, I guess the American Queen is my only choice, I'm sure it is much nicer than the Delta Queen. The Delta Queen was old and worn where the American Queen is much newer.
@@jeffronning1068 thank you! I got some good daytime footage but was unable to capture any music since it’s played as they’re leaving just as it’s getting really dark outside! I’ll link to your channel as well!
@@highwayexplorer I'm excited to see your video. They had the smoke stacks folded down because they were about to go under a bridge. I'd like to see it with the stacks up if your footage has it
William Stewart Not sure what all the songs are. it was a montage of different songs. I can pick out "Zippity Doo Dah", "Anchors Aweigh", and "Roll Out the Barrel"

My understanding is that it's difficult, if not impossible, to perfectly tune a steam calliope; probably too many factors involved--air temperature, steam pressure, wind speed, maybe? But being slightly out of tune gives the calliope part of its character and charm. . .
I have a fever, and the only prescription, is more steam calliope! Great sound in this one.
LMAO! ....and still LMAO! I can hear Walken saying this. It would be hilarious.

These lovely ships have so much heart and soul.
That Queen has the most beautiful voice.
Unlike some others this seems to be in tune... All great!
Delta queen is better
@@rudycarlson8245Delta Queen sucks.
I am an old geezer and I just a caliope especially if its steam. There is no better sound in the world. Thanks form posting
This vs. Disney cruise line
@@AJBama-ki8xz as far as I know the boats on Disney cruise line don’t have a steam Calliope!
what a unique and wonderful sound, i like this, and the river boat looks gorgeous, we don't have them where i live, they must be uniquely American

@@kamdenbarclay486 Not just the Mississippi, but the nearly 1000 miles of the Ohio River too.
@@truthseeker2321 indeed, I live right on the Ohio, and this is a very familiar sound to me!
@@truthseeker2321 The Delta Queen was from the Sacramento River in California so they were a nationwide transport method, quite a few found there way up to Alaska for the Klondike gold rush.
and the yukon river
No body will know how loud this is in person it’s literally a bunch of steam train whistles I love it
Thanks for posting! Love to see the riverboats go past Savanna, IL.
I could listen to this for hours...

When I was growing up the Old Timers called it a Callie-Ope . Now I'm an old timer 74.😁.
I Love the video, thank you for posting it.
"You're a Grand Old Flag" is the last song.
Americans: *Likes to show off*
Me: *Nice*

Huh, never knew Popeye was born a land lubber, in Illinois too!
He must have hated being a farm kid, and joined the Navy to get away from it all, lol!

@@leslietaylor4458 Thanks.
She an amazing steam boat, " Love her... She`s worth every bit of money too have a truly unique American cruise..
sound carries well
When I lived near Red Wing, I would drive over just to hear this. Only 100 miles or so.
First song is the Coast Guard hymn
Thanks
Semper Paratus
No better Sound than Live Steam, and a,Set of Good pipes!
My wife and I had occasion to take the American Queen from New Orleans to Natchez and back. Too fine to explain. We encourage all who may be hesitant to book package and enjoy a restful and entertaining time.
I was on this cruise with my husband and three other family members!!
Thanks for your message! It's cool that you were on the steamboat that day
American Queen Steam Calliope Plays The Stars & Stripes Forever (Memorial Day Special)
Anastasia likes to ride this boat playing her calliope
People in the boiler room are like... Damn it! stop playing that damn Calliope, we need all the steam we can get to get off this bank
Shhhhh! Most of the push comes from a pair of Z-Drives powered by diesels.
I like the American Queens calliopes
What a treat! Thanks for sharing!
With the recent collapse of American Queen Voyages, I would like to see this vessel operate under American Cruise Lines in the near future!

The coast guard hymm
This sound makes me want to turn the clock back to the late 1800s.
heart breaking to watch these videos and see everyone holding out their phones ... it makes me want to DANCE!
This vessel would certainly sound great playing Abraham Holzman's popular tune 'Blaze away'.
Roll on ole muddy big river roll.

One of those songs was "Zip a dee doo dah?"
This is AMAZING!
I really need to hear it play the magic roundabout theme
Wonderful. Thanks for posting it.
woow
ilove it nice sound ameri can queen love you 😊
FIRST!!! Ah yes I remember this! I was there! That was the first week of October in 2016. Good timez had by all. Great footage! :D
OMG I COMPLETLY MISSED THIS EVENT :'(
The American Queen has cruises along the Mississippi River. They make various stops along the way
Looks far better than flat topped cruise shits.
Des ist ja geil cool offen Schiff ne Orgel.Genial super.Monika de Musikerin aus Dessau.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like the American queen
EPIC!! and wonderful
Best video I saw all day 🤩
Awesome vidoe
American Queen Steam Calliope Plays This Land is Your Land (4th of July Special)
I love it! Song title?
Several different songs, the only two I caught was "Anchors Aweigh" and "You're a Grand Old Flag" I probably know more, just couldn't pick up on them.
One of them is the "Beer Barrel Polka". First one is "Semper Paratus" (Coast Guard Hymn).
I say if this ship was introduced by disney that would be better
Beautiful
Wundervoll 😍👍👍👍
Is the American queen the only one running at the moment?
Queen of Mississippi and a few others too.
Delta Queen as well if I remember right
@@mcrichton46 As far as I know the Delta Queen is still down in Houma Louisiana getting a heavy overhaul
second song in beer barrel polka
It's "zippity doo dah"

Wow like a soung wow ver good
American Queen Voyages shuts down, cancels future cruises amid reported service issues
Better if it were tuned!
This is actually the best sounding one I’ve heard on any of these steamboats! Just compare this one to Delta Queens calliope!
My understanding is that it's difficult, if not impossible, to perfectly tune a steam calliope; probably too many factors involved--air temperature, steam pressure, wind speed, maybe? But being slightly out of tune gives the calliope part of its character and charm. . .
I wish they would scrap this boat and use the money to return the Delta Queen to service.
