Glass Tiger - "Thin Red Line" - ORIGINAL VIDEO - HQ

[lkgrave]

So what is with the woman in the gray dress?

[n2091m]

Im gonna have to go dig this CD out of my collection and take it with me on the drive to work tomorrow. Good memories...

16 people are completely clueless!!!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

I half expected Adrian Paul to appear, in redcoat and kilt, in the soldier scenes.

[forty8r]

Shouldn't these guys be using flintlocks rather than precussion cap rifles? I assume it is Napoleonic but if is this Crimean War then whay does the cavalry looks French not Russian if Crimean.

[Norrington516]

@forty8r The Russian regular cavalry were dressed in pretty similar fashion to their western counterparts. The attack by the Russian cavalry on the Highlanders at Balaclava was carried out by two hussar regiments and two cossack regiments and the hussars wore shako type headgear so the French look is fine. The Highland regiment however was the 93rd Argyll & Sutherland with red and white dicing, not the one shown here (from the cap dicing and facings they are the 92nd Gordon Highlanders)

[strathpipe]

If these guys were suppose to represent the Thin Red Line then their hat band is very wrong.The 93rd had a red and white dice round their hats certainly not as shown on this video.

[Norrington516]

@strathpipe Yea, they are probably Gordon Highlander reenactors - the cap dicing is accurate for the Gordons. I guess they just got the reenactors that they could find. At least they got the facings correct.

Nova Scotia means New Scotland!

[asloan1967]

My husband is in the video, he is sitting on the rock loading his gun with his legs crossed (the lead singer of glass tiger is his cousin) He's also lying dead towards the end where the child picks up the heather by his head. It is so funny I used to watch this video on MTV in the 80's in Texas. My husband is from Scotland.

[laura20022004]

@asloan1967 wow that is awesome. lucky him

[kimberlykenobi]

One of my all time favourite bands growing up, this song is awesome.

[22ndWave]

Canada owes the world an apology for Justin Bieber... but maybe you guys get let off for Glass Tiger and Strange Advance who are awesome!

[amelialoggie]

Geez, they were hotties ehh:) <3

[Ladyeglantine]

It says "original video" above , but there is a fair chunk missing from the beginning and the end - the video should be more than 5 minutes long. The song even gets cut off at the end!

(see version posted by @kurdtss)

[FyAthyRio69]

@Ladyeglantine - sorry about that! My source for a number of my videos was a system that CUT them to 3'15" - annoying I know, but at least that 3'15" IS original!

Last time I looked, there was a FULL version of this on YT - but the quality was POOR.

[bh5496]

don't like the song. mabee if it were done by a marching band

[Hockeyguy17]

Never knew there was a video for this tune..thank you youtube!

[DJRoxi]

Alan Frew is the only true Scot from Scotland ... the rest are from Ontario :)

[fagbert]

@DJRoxi

Ha, all this time I thought he was Irish!

[doubleestark]

I believe some Canadian regiments still dress this way.

[RazorCell7]

@doubleestark We have a few highlander regiments in Canada as well, it's tradition

[ursomtl]

One of their best song! Substance and commercial potential. Nice!
