    I share in the gratitude expressed in the comments. My mother brought me to see the Black Watch when they preformed in LA in 1968 (?) I was 5. I have loved them since, and this is as close to re-experiencing that performance as I have been honored. Thank you.

    Thanks, Frank. In 1989, I arrived late to the Rosemont Horizon performance and missed the first 15 minutes of the program! Also, thanks again, It wasn't as easy to record such an event as the equipment was much heavier and bulkier. God Bless you and your efforts! Sincerely, Nathan in Chicago 🇺🇲 🇨🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

    I attended one Black Watch concert in the 1990s and afterwards bought a few CDs. I highly recommend seeing the live performance. AWESOME!

    I'd just joined the band in June 89' so was very new to this. Epic 72 city tour of America and Canada and many fond memories.
    Remembering Taffy and Tam getting rolled by hookers, big Shock playing jazz as we marched off, big Cammy, wee Dougie, Colin who though he could play higher than me (trumpet players), the old joke "why does your BSM play 3rd clarinet? because there's no 4th!", Phil Lee (the worlds worst tuba player) but had served with the battalion in Aden in the 60's, big Andy Ramsay (top bloke), the wild ice-filled-with-beer parties with air hostess's, Disney Land, Boise in Idaho (those Mormon girls were wild).
    30 years ago but remember it like yesterday.

    Magnificent open-order marching by crossing musicians. One small point: the place-name is spelt "Argyll", plural "Argylls".
