@pmdc. Musical??? He hardly eve played it the same every time he played it. Sure he wrote it, but the tune that's widely know and played by most others is not this one. It's just kinda too crazy, both for solo piping and definitely for troupes. To be honest, I wouldn't bother sitting down to learn the movements of this version, since its only the absolute best in the world that could play it, or appreciate it I think. Great set tho.
To be fair I don't think it matters the names of the tunes, I just know that I could only dream of playing that well, what ever there names must be!! absolutly fantastic
He was the best of the best.

That is the best version of Fourth Floor I've ever heard. Starting at 5:12. All variations of the parts are so musical.

If you've read the earlier comments:
4.16 is The Fourth Floor, but in Gordon's book it's accidentally named Upside Down in Eden Court
5.12 is Upside Down in Eden Court, but in Gordon's book it's named The Fourth Floor

4.16 is the Fourth Floor, 5.12 is Upside Down in Eden Court.
Don't go by the names on his book, they got mixed up.

shazmeister2005 3 years ago
Eh no they're not. The book has the names the right way round and at 4:16 the tune is upside down in Eden Court and at 5:12 is the fourth floor.
