Underrated comment. A trumpet player with average natural talent could practice 12 hours a day for a thousand years and not get to half of James Morrison's level. It's a unique blend of a billion to one talent with practicing and an obsession with music.
those were the first games I wittnesed while understanding them as comprehending that it was one single event and they did not suffer from the infrastructur as in 2004 they were no demonstration of power like 2008 they were simply joyful
i beg to differ as an audio technician i have seen numerous times that it is the technology that lets down the performance as opposed to acoustics that are essentially simple machines that, if they do break, can be fixed or replaced with minimal effort/time i am also yet to hear of an acoustic instrument will stop operating if it shorts out or the power fails technology more reliable? not yet at least.
The two official languages of the International Olympic Committee are French and English. French is there because Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man who revived the Ancient Olympic Games starting in 1896, was French.
@@starwarsjunkie7777 the pressure of having to hit every note perfectly in front of millions and being broadcast worldwide would be insanely intense, so i get where he’s coming from
James Morrison actually has a video series in which he discusses this fanfare, and he said he had no worries at all about playing those notes because he could already hear it in his head before he played them.
Take this video down this instant before more people see it! We trumpet players cant have non-trumpet players think this is normal playing. We would all seem bad in comparison
you make some very good points, and i do agree with you there. But they don't use the powers of brass and woodwind instruments because they are not cool and many people prefer the technology made things because they supposedly sound better. can be pre recorded with ease.
1:21-1:22 we hear high G, but Morrison take breath - i think, here was a lead trumpet player, who blew the high G's in this show, but we can't see him...
well a lead trumpet definitely played the G because it's also a completely different tone and volume... and you can clearly see James' fingers moving which means he is playing the melody underneath the screams too lol
***** i am sure you have never heard james morrison live...i have heard him three times so far and he is probably the best trumpet-player these days and that tones in sydney are even not the highest one i have heard of him. and the most important part: morrison is one of the loveliest, most sympathic and grounded musicians i have ever seen :-)
okay, here is the truth: there was a lead trumpet player who played in the high register but it is not Morrison! he played the "melody" with the other trumpet players during the lead blew the high voice
I thought the opening ceremony was supposed to express the culture of the host country. That whole fanfare and the marching band they had just screams America
@Green Hornet Here i was thinking that a fanfare was a very Regal thing with history dating back to mid 16th/17th Century France, Great Britain and Italy. Where was the Marching Band? I must have missed that, from what I could see they were all fairly stationary, unless James Morrison's "Swing City" went from being a Big Band to a Marching Band? Given James' History in Australia, the Australian Folk song adaptation and the realities of what a Fanfare actually is..... nothing about this screams America.
Christopher Davies the fanfare became American once it went to the swing jazz portion. Later in the ceremony they have a marching band with 1000 people. Marching bands were created in America. The portion even had Americans in the Band. So yea, I think the ceremony had a little American influence
ChooseYour Poison is waltzing Matilda the name of the fanfare? If so, when the fanfare goes into the big band swing jazz portion that’s where it has American influence
@@greenhornet8262 The entire fanfare is Waltzing Matilda, alternately played either as a descant or as a segue. It's a classic Australian folk song. Nor is jazz something that's exclusive to the US - believe it or not, other countries play jazz too, in fact the roots of jazz are African, not American. Nor did marching bands originate in America - the tradition actually started in Europe and the UK in the 1700s, and subsequently gained popularity in the US a full century later. Australia actually has it's own history of marching bands dating back to the 1800's as well - the Royal Australian Air Force Band and the Lancer Band recently featured at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and are recognised as some of the best in the world.
To play that G, exposed like that, on such a massive stage with millions of people watching is just incredible. Can’t get enough of this clip.
З😊
double C after almost 3 solid minutes of G's. waltzing f'ing matilda. dayum! imagine being so good in life that you come back as james morrison...
What a mad lad
It was all prerecorded with all trumpet parts played by James overdubbed.
@@brucebromley241 You see his "Snappy Too" video where he played every instrument in the big band except the drums?
@@cspike9061 absolutely, I used to manage james' website for years.
@@cspike9061 even snappy do was overdubbed apart from bass drums and guitar, sadly we no longer have Ray Brown and Herb Ellis with
I feel like the crowd thinks that's a trumpets normal range...
Phil Stadem the crowd probably doesn’t even know what’s going on :,(
Yeah
@@meat. yeah
@@meat. yea
@@meat. yes
Man he beats the piss out of those high notes. #ExcellentLeadTrumpet
Talk about having a good lip day!
for james that’s every day
he is so underrated in America :(
Fatsacks Allday Not by those who know about him. I'm from America and I know he's one of the best overall musicians in the world.
starwarsjunkie7777 jazz musicians*
@@MH-iv7tk no i would say overall as well
@@MH-iv7tk musicians
I'm sure most of the people aren't even aware of what they just heard...
Believe me, we Aussies knew what we had just heard.
Australia has a very rich musical culture. Especially instrumental and classical music.
absolutly no feryuiuking idea
James Morrison is such a machine :D He´s brilliant
From a Brit to Australia.
Coolest opening ceremony ever. Mind I am a big JM fan.
James Morrison, ein unglaubliches Phänomen. Absolute Hochachtung.
I wish I couldve seen this live
I was 2 lol
Каждый раз слушаю - и охреневаю. Все бед разминки, без без сомнений и страха публики - встал и свистанул всю фанфару:))
How can sb think that James is on playback? That's ridiculous! :D He could easily play all these instruments around any time.
He could play those notes but...
Being on that big of a stage I don't think they would want to take any chances.
He's played thousands of gigs and I'm pretty sure many of them were even bigger than this. He's perfectly fine at any circumstances.
Gig's bigger than the olympics..
P.s. I think everyone around him was faking it but not James him self, he's a beast
1:21 breathing
He's likely not the only one playing the lead part (except for the double G's)
He is the Champion among trumpet players 🎉🎉🎉
out of sight. wonderfulllll
This is just awesome
This whole thing is just surreal
Awesome.....
bloody brilliant.
that's fucked up it was so badass jet no one clapped 😒
CAPOOOOOOO ❤❤TROMPETA 🎺 ( JAMES MORRISON
oh! thank you up loade
Yes!!!
Надможливо! Дивовижне виконання!
That's not from practicing. That is a gift not many have.
stumpmtsr dont think so
stumpmtsr generally people don't practice hard enough say that 😉
One thing many of the most sought after Trumpet players have in common is that they all started on cornet

wow morrison smached it as always.james morrison you rule on the trumpet
1:05-1:08
Easily my favorite few bars
i love 0:58 -1:04
WoW.

SUPER))))
Playing this song on my journey to destination: Triumph
Моррисон жжёт!!!))) Фантастика! Просто зверь!))
Long tones kids
That and lip slurs and riding the airstream doing push-ups walking or running
Cavalo D+....Show
He doesn't get into the dubba register in the way that Wayne does but he still most certainly does it.
Wayne has God like upper register but JM has God like "talent". Both amazing in their own right but overall I prefer JM.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them both, but my guess is Wayne is JM's trumpet hero.
Although. JM might be Wayne's TROMBONE hero, saxophone hero, guitar hero, piano hero, etc, etc, etc
magnifique,a bientot mon filleuil
Красава мориссон!!!

👍✊
The sad part this was cut from the international feed esp into USA & Europe.
Barcelona 1992...
BAR. CEL HOLA... 92 👉
so they had trumpet players for the 96, 00 olympics, why cant they have it for 04, 08, and 12??
how many times he played the g3? haha :D
No one clapped wow
EL MEJOR FANTÁSTICO GENIO ,MESSI DE LA TROMPETA
Imwhy cant they put the whole ceremony up?
Чёртов гений.
Jak to zrobic zeby tak zagrac i sie nie obsrac to ja nie wiem xd
I love the G'DAY before anything happens
who's here from George Collier's vid?
What is this fanfare called?
it’s the waltzing matilda
паразительно
woooooow to the poor horse was scared! jajaj
why the french presentation ??
+Grégoire T-M Because its the Olympics
The two official languages of the International Olympic Committee are French and English. French is there because Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man who revived the Ancient Olympic Games starting in 1896, was French.
The IOC is based in Lausanne, Switzerland where they speak French
What fanfare is this
this sounds like a wes anderson film
This actually makes me think of the openings to pokemon games?? I'm weird hahaha
Waltzing Matilda =D
hsc music question 2 yeh? anyone?
Waltzing Matilda. It's a folk song associated with Australia.
it's easy...you just spend a lifetime practicing.
So much cheese!
Bro seriously copied my warmup routine....
This is the first time i've seen herald trumpets used for something like this :P
where?
@@brned1692 stage behind and above james morrison
Мориссон убийца)))) мастер
Lol
no, you cant play on broken strings but you can play a trumpet
Да ладно, так не бывает))) Он точно инопланетянин))
So was James actually playing those Gs or was someone else doing it?
Tmillz316 without any doubt, it was him. That is his tone. But i am not sure if he Player it live
Lol, go look up other videos of him. Apparently someone doesn't know James Morrison very well. ;)
@@starwarsjunkie7777 the pressure of having to hit every note perfectly in front of millions and being broadcast worldwide would be insanely intense, so i get where he’s coming from
Definitely him. You're hearing him on all those overdubs as well. It WAS played live, but they played along to the pre-recorded track.
James Morrison actually has a video series in which he discusses this fanfare, and he said he had no worries at all about playing those notes because he could already hear it in his head before he played them.
The days when 4:3 was still a thing…
Take this video down this instant before more people see it! We trumpet players cant have non-trumpet players think this is normal playing. We would all seem bad in comparison
You are not Maynard

Actually, Morrison talks about hitting " a high G" in one of his videos. Morrison did play lead.
I've personally met Morrison and have seen him play. Believe me he hit those G's.
