birdog1960 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 This http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24783507/chris-bottis-national-anthem-brought-reggie-wayne-to-tears made news especially for reggie wayne's reaction to it. but i thought it was an excellent pre sporting event anthem version rivaling marvin gaye's. what other anthem versions do you all find memorable? (by the way, check out the tweets from the cbs reporter about wayne and the old man's wisdom)
4merper4mer Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I didn't see that live but wow it was great. He seemed to have the whole crowd mesmerized. This would have been a nice choice for the anthem at the Super Bowl. Edited November 5, 2014 by 4merper4mer
CowgirlsFan Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Agree....very impressive! In the 60's the Cowboys used a trumpet player too! I see they are back to using one again Sends chills down your body each time it is played!
DC Tom Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Not to toot the guy's horn, but that was one of the most beautiful renditions of the Anthem I've ever heard.
Alaska Darin Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Not to toot the guy's horn, but that was one of the most beautiful renditions of the Anthem I've ever heard. I completely agree. I was in the kitchen when it started and when I heard the first notes I was floored and raced back to the television to see it. It's spectacular.
PolishDave Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Yes that was nice... But you can't get much better than this one....
Richmond_Bills Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I went to the game in Miami about 8-10 years ago where the Bills went up 21-0 in the first 11 minutes of the game (JP had some incredible long pass TD's), but we blew it and lost 24-23. At any rate, there was a Military trumpet player performing the national anthem. It was so incredible the hairs on my arms stood. That was followed by a flyover that was about the closest I could ever imagine to being to fighter jet - they seemed like they were literally 10 feet above the stadium.
birdog1960 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 As the OP mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A thanks. hadn't heard it in awhile. can only hope that my soul shines through like this on occasion when i'm doing my job or just plain living. in that way, botti's is pretty similar. both are masterpieces.
