[CBLA009]

Semper Fi Mystic stay safe.

[ThereIsOnlyOneStuart]

The first two tunes played are "Rakish Paddy" and "Paddy's Epic Journey". They're from a set of reels featured on the CD "Masterblasters" by the much-missed Victoria Police Pipe Band (1998). I urge you all to buy it, it's one of the greatest pipe band albums of all time. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the last tune.

[mysticbeast86]

Ive said it once and i'll say it agian....nothing is better than the pipes and drums.

[1911CoLt45gov]

[AllanMCI]

Always brings a lump to my throat when I hear the massed pipes........proud to be a Scot!

[danielix11]

i love this drums!!!!

[washingtonboy09]

Cool, I play the drums my self.

[calgaryscot]

What is the name of the tune that starts at 0:50???

[kutseena]

Love the sound of the bass drum. Gives me chills. In fact the whole thing is great!

[calgaryscot]

No wonder Scots regiments had such success in battle! imagine hearing that coming towards you from the distance? would have the enemy shaking in their boots before they even started!

[thereelpiper]

What is the name of the first tune? The slower tune with the long High G's?

[brokenspears]

I've never seen so many pipes and drums. We have our parades here in the states, but nothing in comparison. I have to see this before I die! And God save your Queen! ;)

[YARROWS]

That there is the real McCoy mate,The pipes and drums of the Scottish Regiments of the British Army.

[Xatamapackl]

I love Pipes and Drums, but this tops it all :)

[dundeepiper]

SECOND TUNE IS JAMIESONS REEL

[ThereIsOnlyOneStuart]

I tried to join the OTC band when I started university at St Andrews but failed the hearing test as part of the enlistment process. I was gutted. I've gone to the Tattoo every year since I was 2 and spent my whole life wanting to play in it.

[sedneth]

Probably the best display i have ever seen, Which year is this Tattoo??

[ThereIsOnlyOneStuart]

2006.

[ANASKALOPISTISS]

briliaaantt!!

[morsninja]

what is the tatto?

[calgaryscot]

The "Edinburgh Military Tattoo" to give it the proper name, is an annual event held at Edinburgh Castle and it features performers from all over the world doing their thing. it's a fabulous event and should be on everyones "things to see before i die" list.

[bigjohn697791]

what is the differance between the irish pipe and drum bands and the scottish pipe and drum bands

[MSD88]

They're more or less the same now but tradtionally Irish pipes had only 2 drones whereas Scottish pipes have 3

[bigjohn697791]

thanx m8 that's filled the gap in my knowleage

[chewie211171]

The amount of space on the esplanade in front of the castle is really small. It's amazing how many performers squeeze onto it when the tattoo is on.

[mysticbeast86]

jesus that gives me goosebumps!

[ClaYur]

I can't remember the name of the second tune(Starting 0.18)

But Shotts & Dykehead played it as part of they're medley for the worlds in 2007.

As for the rest, it's a medley of tunes mashed into one. You'd have to looks up medley tune listings for this particular event.

Hope that helped a tad =]

[paltinis]

what's the name of this song? and does anyone where i can find this on the internet?

[cod120]

i was at the tattoo im not 100% sure but i think its the new regimental song when the units merged into 1. i think the song as forward as one but i might be wrong.

[MSD88]

It's definatley not forward as 1. I think they paddy's epic journey and Rakesh Paddy. You can find the song If you press play and listen closley lol!

[fishethedish]

If I were an enemy ard heard the skirl of the pipes from them lads I'd be off home on the first bus.

[dominicthesadistcade]

fantastic vid, watched it a lot, absoloutely amazing

[Bacguins]

Viva Escocia, carajo, muy COOL, saludos desde Panamá.

[stevethepirate91]

its amasing to walk through those massive doors onto the esplinade with all the cameras flashing and the crowds packed into the stands.

with the drummers behind you and the pipers in front, it makes your heart double in speed.

its an amasing sight to watch and even beter to participate in.

the drum beatings are usually rewritten on the morning before the event.

[BU53KPR]

I`ve watched the dvd repeatedly and it always gives me a lump in my throat and a tear in my eyes it makes you feel great and proud to be Scottish long may it continue.

[storm915]

I'm not Scottish, and I love the pipes and drums!

[151fenby]

[maccalou]

Not 100% sure,but I think the is called 'Jamiesons Reel'.It was a brand new commission to mark the retirement of the Tattoo Director,Mel Jamieson.

[aussie63]

i am an Aussie who loves the pipes, something about them, I had watery eyes watching this.. love it, would love to go to the Tattoo..

[hasseboxen]

When does it start,hard to get tickets,hotell.Help me out,where to search.Want to bring back my old dad one last time,he love the Tatto and Scotland.He is moore scotish than swedish.For daddy,OK!!!!

[aryanofoghi]

Hi,

I attended tattoo, last year. It was fantastic. you can buy the tickets from EBAY. before buying the tickets, look at the tatoo's website to find whetehr the location of seats are good. I bought the tickets from ebay for £60 per person (nominal price was £25 per person). In addition, I wanted to have my hotel near the castle. I bookd the APEX hotel. It costed me about £500 for a double room.

Good luck

[kevin1968cullen]

like the man said, go to the tattoo website for ticket info, as for hotels, i would go to a nearby town like stirling (35 mins by train) easier to get a hotel and a beautiful place to stay as well.

[lieri102]

What is the name of the song that they are playing?

[maccalou]

Not 100% sure,but I think the is called 'Jamiesons Reel'.It was a brand new commission to mark the retirement of the Tattoo Director,Mel Jamieson.

[YARROWS]

Any foreigner hearing this in War, knew the British(and especially the Scot's)were coming to kick there asses in.

[spamviking]

Bagpipes, along with APCs and bravery, helped win the battle of Long Tan. They scared off the NVA.

[majortuff]

God bless 'em...

[YARROWS]

If this dosent make you proud to be British,I don't know what will.

[Fireballs169]

DAMN FUCKING RIGHT I'm a proud british man and listening to this just makes me feel so patriotic, does anyone know if there is a professional version of this?

[ast3113]

My Father called them Hairy Prune heads, and I forever became fond of the Bagpipers. I love that, it brings tears to my eyes.

[sylverone]

I had tears in my eyes when I saw this. It was just amazing to witness, especially hearing them march in from the castle

[teufelkeck]

CELTIC PRIDE!

[KarenKenney]

brings a tear to my eyes and joy to my heart just awesome!!!

[grimsbyboy1]

[Oso1G]

Fucking pipes and drum, there is no other....

[PaintedSilence]

the Voice of the Castle - brings the audience together, cheering individually for their countries but united in an international fraternity.

French shake hands with English, Japanese nod smilingly to Swedish neighbours, native Scots welcome Italians. The Tattoo is family now.

[nastyphoenix]

Various battalions of the new Royal Regiment of Scotland, Ghurkas, RAF, OTC Queensland police and th south african highlanders or something.

[Camo1606]

I think this is just some regiments coming together to form mass bagpipes.
