Phase II even when they don't win the the competition on the night always move the art of pan forward. Their performances are consistently indelible and memorable.

[@sulaymanwadoodi1711]

My favourite panorama arrangement, its eclectic and full of drama, incorporating elements that is beyond the carnival theme.

[@HansumTrini]

"beyond the carnival theme"; yes...rightfully so. Out of the box but still in the box...

[@dpanman]

Too classy for the simpletons...

[@ancilditzen9377]

A true master, Len Boogsie Sharpe&👍👍👍👍

[@didakeepa]

Thought this was deserving of 2nd place but great arrangement boogsie and see what happens when you stick to who you are

[@HansumTrini]

AWESOME Phase II, and a cleaner performance than Semi's. They were only a few pts behind the deserved winners Desperadoes! I hope Boogsie continues with his own chunes...this should inspire him to do so!

[@tobatiamiyu9905]

This is the best performance of this group this season and wonder how Desperados beat them with that their performance I saw. With love from Lagos Nigeria. You guys are my winners

[@harolddottin10]

I did not Know Nigerians were into Steel Band Music like that, Im happy happy to Kow this. Think Im going to make a backflip about it, hope Ii dont bust my head open.

[@trevorsamuel5421]

"BOOGSIE" is still light years ahead of all the rest.

[@ancilditzen9377]

Hearing this on KZbin & hearing it live is two different things phase2 really sound great on panorama night

[@fitzroysmith133]

Yuh hear music that is music, love it

[@bajanplayer335]

I was so please to hear this in the Semi's - my first thought was "Yea Man - Welcome back Boogsie" Loved this final arrangement.

[@decostaderoche8235]

this is well Arrange well done Boogsie,,

[@daviddedier5668]

For me, this is the most enjoyable 4th placed piece since the inception of Panorama

[@HansumTrini]

Powerful words there...I might have to agree

[@starmoon5163]

Awesome, wonderful, great arranged‼️ I heard it at the venue on the day and I've watched this video many times♪ You are the champion for me. Thank you for the happier music than anyone!!

[@kendellgriffith6569]

I never agree with the placement of PHASE 2 This band brings across something no other band does. GREAT JOB PHASE 2 & BOOGSIE. Hard to believe they didn’t move a spot up from semis.

[@HansumTrini]

Next year bro...no scene! It's a great start to Boogsie being back in TOTAL form...

[@joanblake5007]

The real professor of music

[@garypanjazzproductionsledo9655]

Boogers next year go all out man.

[@triniboyo]

So happy they cleaned up that run at 3:55. First time I heard it, it was so off. Well done Phase II.

[@FLGurl]

This is an art and age has nothing to do with it either. Just watch at the young man in the middle play his heart out. Then the very tall man at the end to the right. Amazing, and this warms my ❤

[@trevorsamuel5421]

Pure Excellence

[@tobago3]

Nice but the spirit of Carnival was missing

[@HansumTrini]

@@tobago3 Boogsie I'd allowed to do whatever he wants with his OWN tune of choice -- he is a cut beyond the rest and everyone knows...

[@MK-cc8ih]

I kind of agree with Tobago. From the prelims I've been saying the first half of the performance need some work. Some excitement but it wasnt there. Next year for sure. Continue doing your thing Boogsie!!

[@rotiman2594]

My personal favourite

[@kenrickgerold8945]

Well arranged, you can hear every pan, bass line sweet. I won't comment on the judging other than Renegades could not have won this year from hearing the other bands. Just my opinion.

[@YLan2x]

so wholesome

[@curtisdyer1245]

Continue doing your music out of world arrangement exciting

[@earlmclean1341]

E. MC L most beautyfull arrangement! i think they are taking Boogsie for granter.

[@cjackman74]

Boogsie and Zanda were the only arrangers who didn't plagiarize their arrangements with copying and pasting others' tunes. That I think has gotten out of hand and needs to stop.

[@anthonyphillip394]

Um if u listen close all stars did have other songs in there tune

[@cjackman74]

Are the tunes Boogsie play are these tunes compose by He himself ?????.

[@MartinMaitland]

To be honest I thought it was a well played tune but boring by today's standard. Boogsie will never win a panorama again if he plays like this. This is music festival stuff and not Panorama style. The problem here is people are getting caught up in the Boogsie bandwagon and not really considering how dated the music really sounds.

[@shaquillemcclean50]

I would rate music festival music higher than panorama style music any day and if this is the reason why he wont win then so be it.

[@martinconte3101]

Same old same old. Boogsie hasn't offered up an original arrangement since Birthday Party; he finds a vamp and sits on it for too long. Being a low pan in his band must be so boring! I'm a Renegades fan, but they didn't get it in the air this year. Supernovas and All-Stars had it for sure. But my patience for Boogsie is just about up. I have a hard time hearing what other people are hearing in Boogsie. Maybe its sweet, maybe its easy, but he never had the orchestral complexity of Jit or the energy of All Stars, the aggression of Exodus, the lay-back of Bradley with Despers.

[@shaquillemcclean50]

When you say and original arrangement what exactly you mean cause myself as well as other persons who listen to all pan bands could tell you that each and every panorama Phase 2 pan groove is the only band that brings something different each year. The problem with judges of recent times is that they tend to judge on the excitement and not the musical artisry that the bands bring to the stage. It's in my honest opinion that Lennox Boogsie Shape is the only arranger who can go overseas in any musical show etc and represent trinidad and tobago on a strong note. After him would be bradley, and zander tbvh.

[@didakeepa]

By your comments we can tell you are a renegades fan literally you hear recycled music with renegades but no one rarely days anything

[@didakeepa]

You said he never orchestral complexity proves you need musical knowledge badly

[@martinconte3101]

​@@shaquillemcclean50 Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste then. I just hear Boogsie recycling himself; he finds the same moment to groove, he hangs onto it for a long time, he gets himself from one place in the arrangement to the next in the same way. I guess I'll turn it back to you, though. What are you hearing in Boogsie's arrangements that is new or exciting? I think he did some great work in his heyday, and Birthday Party, Misbehave, Woman is Boss are groundbreaking. But since that era, I've been waiting for something in Boogsie's music that moves me in a new way, and I'm just not getting it.

[@martinconte3101]

@@didakeepa Boogsie's voicings are fairly simplified, down to two or three voicings at once. I'm not as die-hard for Renegades as I used to be, but I am always die-hard for Jit, and one aspect of his music that appealed to me was that he would voice 4-5 distinct parts at once. This gets at their individual arranging styles (and this is something that might be a personal preference, and isn't a judgment of one style being better or worse than the other): Jit, from my understanding, arranged at the piano and at the score. He worked on the piece by setting the voicings first. Boogsie is more jazz than that, he comes to his arrangements through being in the panyard, through hearing the parts being played. One's naturally going to end up with more complex orchestral voicing than the other.

[@rickmathison7907]

This by far has to be the most disjointed arrangement I've herd. A bunch of pieces that just doesn't fit. It's like trying to patch an old pair of jeans with every bit of rag available, including rice bag. This man has to step aside and give someone else a chance. He is losing it.
