Grenadiers, Coldstream, Irish Guards Band RA Stage band plus Monck (Coldstream Guards Rock Band) Thriller arr. CSgt D.Desmond American Trilogy arr. LCpl James Scott
I could do without anything having to do with Michael Jackson, thank you. I would have been furious if I paid for this performance expecting one thing from these outstanding military bands and being served MJ. The US Civil War medley is OK (Who said Elvis is gone?). As far as I am concerned, however, the real fun doesn't start until the 6:48 mark.
This is typical of what is happening in military music today. These are three of the best marching/ wind bands in the world and we should see them in their traditional role. If I want to see a rock band or a pop singer, I will but a ticket for that sort of concert. I don't expect to see it in a marching display by the Guards. This is awful.
Hello all! I am greatly astonished about your comments BECAUSE I was usher at Basel Tattoo this year and saw the show 13 times AND I enjoyed it from the first to the last perfomance ! I personally find the contrast between traditional uniforms and rock music (especially "Thriller"!) very very interesting and entertaining! Very good choice - for me !
Wow! terrific, I wish I was there.

What's the point in having a massed marching band if they're not going to march! At least the rain provided some entertainment!
