New York Philharmonic performs "The Star Spangled Banner"

[crazykong1967]

Took alot of balls to play that in North Korea, great version.

[haroldvideos]

NY Philharmonic is so lucky the north koreans didn't even kill them while playin the Star Spangled Banner DPRK hates USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tylorolson]

wheres the end..u can't just cut it off..that's un American

[Taxidriverdeniro]

Fucking represent! Take that Kim!

[afurneaux1]

This is amazing, not very often Americans are allowed in to North Korea

[joe579003]

@afurneaux1 Every year during august for the Mass Games.

[southwestguy223]

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:

Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? ???????? mmm hmmm?

[jhamilton92]

Whe did they play only a minute of it?

[ebay649]

They didn't. Whoever made this video cut it off.

[AnishProductions]

Only the loudest part of the national anthem was aired, not the sweet flute and oboe melody in between, this is because I guess he wanted the american anthem to seem obnoxious to the north korean public.

I knows this sounds like a weird explanation, but what isn't awkward about the entire anthem not being played.

But the NYPHil played the anthem marvelously :D

[highbyesky]

wow thats extremely idiotic

[annakim925]

성조기여 영원하라는 다른 곡입니다. 미국 국가의 제목은 '성조기'입니다.

[LLCoolPass]

OMG it was censored!??!?!?!1

pffff hahahahahaa

[ricarleite]

I would be shitting my pants if I was the conductor.

[Janth]

i'd be shitting in my pants if i was watching it live.

[ufo1922]

Mr.Kim , this is not right..

let us finish this song then you have fun

[360genius]

Did this Korean TV station actually cut off half of the US anthem?

WTF?

[ckomaha]

Everything in North Korea is controlled by Kim. He probably made that decision himself.

[atiu88]

The american and the dprk national anthems were performed in its entirety.

[ckomaha]

Yes they were. Unfortunetly Only part of the American anthem was released. Kim controls ev erything. It's pathetic.

[ckomaha]

Why did you post only a portion of the American National Anthem?

[tommythamat]

Whatever fucknuts posted this didn't post the whole version of our anthem being performed.

[EngleshMajur]

I can't believe they were allowed to play this, the "Great benevolent leader" must have told them all that it was just written for himself-written by himself at that.

[jedistarfox]

are you fucking serious amurphy245!!!??? you are the dumbest piece of shit i have ever seen.

THINK OF ALL OF THE STUFF THAT NORTH KOREA DID TO US!!! (plus ros585 there in north korea)

[amurphy245]

[Caxton1942]

[backoffyou]

[cowdawg]

My comment is to

amurphy245

[amurphy245]

what makes you think i am german ? o_O the american aggressors have forever tried to suppress and stifle the dprk in a subtle attempt to make the nation crumble and its people suffer,but under the wise leadership of General kim jong il such an act is impossible for the dprk is invincible.

[ThorIgnatius89]

That's a little bit harsh, don't you think?

They played this along side the North Korean National Anthem as a symbolic gesture of peace. (Which you probably are well aware of)

I personally thought the Korean anthem was quite beautiful.

I hope you can learn to forgive America as we learn to better ourselves as a country. We have made mistakes(more than our fair share) but we are trying to improve ourselves. I promise that all of us aren't that bad. :)

[imdamaster]

amurphy245 go back to n korea

[JIM30747]

I hope and pray that this will somehow lead to a better life for the North Koreans.

Hopefully, there can be a breakthrough in communications between the two countries so that the living standards of the North Koreans can improve. It breaks my heart to see so many hungry children over there.

I love my children and grandchildren more than I can ever express. They love their children and grandchldren also! I just hope for a better future for them. May the Lord bless those people!

[ZVEZDAjeZAKON]

should we expect pyongyang philharmonics to perform northkorean anthem in madison square garden...no way

[zarkingtaters]

They also performed the North Korean national anthem, side by side with this.

[ros585]

[Maasdam1993]
