  • CBS should show this whole song instead of opening every 4th of July show with the last ten seconds of this.

  • @imissbristol Jump on over to july4th.org to let them know. They are also on Facebook. They are looking for feedback, and a lot of people have said the same thing. I agree. If I couldn't see the 1812, I'd be so bummed! They broadcast that locally, but not nationally. :-(

  • CBS Sunday Morning said today that THIS is the mother of all July 4th celebrations!

  • @titaniclady1 Well, it is a CBS broadcast. LOL. But there really is nothing better, in my view!

  • Playing this song right now in my high school band. Such an amazing piece of music! We're trying to get either a pyro cannon or live firing party for it. Gonna be intense!

  • @AppleGuru1000 And also that it's a piece that celebrates Russia's defeat of Napolean. A victory song is a victory song nevertheless and it is a great composition that I don't mind using to celebrate our country's Independence.

  • 4:36 is where it gets good

  • its kind of ironic that people put this song in 4th of july firework shows when its composition is by a Russian (tchiakovsky).... Thumbs if you agree

  • Either the camera doesn't pick up low frequency sounds or those are the crappiest cannons I've ever heard in my life.

  • @imissbristol its played the whole thing on local the boston area local channel wbz

  • nice shot of the train during the finale... and those officer towers... wow.

  • At 2:53-3:35 chills run down my spine every time I hear it...

    3:35-4:40 emotionaly breathtaking, IMHO greatest part of ANY classicial piece ever.

  • @soyperiodista It's really awesome when a carillon is used!

  • I saw this live played by the Air Force Academy Band and the Colorado Springs Philharmonic on the 4th of July at Falcon Stadium. True Patriotism with the Freshman USAFA Cadets
