LOL sounds like Gregorian chant at the beginning, or is that the drones resonating through a cheap camera mike? Still love the music though great stuff.
Whole medley is: The Circle of Fear, The Dancing Stag, The Iron Man, Reel Prelude, The Wise Maiden, McKenna's Ceilidh, Caber Feidh, Tears of Gold, Velocity. Here they play it from McKeena's Ceilidh.
I don't like it. The break after the straspeys was too abrupt as well as the break from the jig to slow air. In fact I like the bulk of the medley but breaks and the intro completely ruined it for me. If was judging the "Top 3" would have been broken for sure.
VERY STRONG MEDLEY, its different then what we usualy see, and i think thats what the medley is all about. Try new stuff, and what better band then the shotts to do do it.
I thought that the introductory hornpipe was poor, starting with a series of held notes to allow the pipers to find their places in the circle. The first strathspey "The Dancing Stag" sounded suspiciously like "Oe'r the Bows to Ballindalloch"... plagiarism? And a very weak finish. Overall I was not impressed.
Its a shame this video is poor quality. They suonded brilliant on the day. Nothing wrong with the tunes, as for the ending, its a bit different. So what, how many of the people commenting on shotts "crap" performance could go out there on a really shitty day like saturday and do any better. Baw bags

Extended E on the intro..niiiiiiice! They fudged the first rolloff though...whatever, shit happens. Crazy medley.

ooooh, everyone hate on shotts!! sure why not? you can't do it on the dunsire forums. shit, you can't even cuss on that site...
regardless of your opinion of the band, they did something different here. i respect that.
the extended 'E' was fucking brilliant in my opinion. Lots of key changes = nice.
This whole set was creative and I like that. Great and successful attempt at something new.
Still a shame the "Top 3" remained this year. oh well...
Me gusto, Shotts. Mas por favor.
