Amazing Grace with more than 200 bagpipes; live in Berlin Reaction!

[@tstemforlife]

When the harmony from the other bagpipes kicks in is when the goosebumps hit me.

[@squidgy6930]

As an Englishman, I never miss the opportunity to have a snide little dig at our Sweaty sock brothers But as an English soldier in the guards division, when the bands of the English, Irish Scottish and Welsh came out, the sound of the bagpipes, put another 2 inches on my chest And I’ll never forget the experience of looking over Loch Ness on a early foggy morning seeing a stag in the mist and hearing the sound of the bagpipes floating across The highlands of Scotland, or exactly what you think they will be except 10 times more Scottish

[@mairiconnell6282]

Yeah I am from the military and we do have little digs at each other and that in the British way is an expression of our humour.

Firemen are the unsung heros of the World, that brave man couldn't have done more in this world by saving your lives at the cost of his own. My cousin is a fireman in Ireland, when they're called they have no fear, no thoughts for their own life, when others are at stake. I salute you for attending his funeral!

As awesome as this looks, Bagpipes aren't done justice on recordings. Bagpipes live are just awe-inspiring.

Being Scottish is a great privilege and honour, if you like Amazing Grace, then you will love the flower of Scotland or Loch Lomond sang by every Scot who attends rugby/football at our national Stadiums! Scottish pipers in years gone bye, were always at the front when going into battle, many armies fled before they seen them! Yes being Scottish makes one so proud that can bring one to tears listening to us Scots all singing our National Anthem! The world want to know Scotland now after they had watched H potter films? CRAZY!

The bagpipes always brings tars to my eyes, it’s just the sound they are so haunting, so beautiful. And that Carl Ellis’ voice was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed it, almost on a level with Dan Vasc’s metal version, although you can’t compare the two, completely different from each other.

[@Scaleyback317]

Took part in the Berlin military Tattoo in the late '70's in the Deutschlandhalle. Not sure how many pipers were there but I suspect it was at least 200. One of the resident infantry batallions was the Royal Irish Rangers and their pipers are just top notch. To say it sends a tingle down the spine of most British squaddies is an understatement. The pipes vibrate through your bones right thrhough to the tear ducts.

[@cree878]

True story and William Wilberforce. Who helped end slavery globally. Something which was law in UK since 1066. Any man who landed on British soil was a free man. The song was written in 1772 by English Anglican clergyman and poet John Newton (1725-1807).

Coming historically from the center of the German tribes that not only fought successfully against the Romans and later against enforced christianization there still today are a lot of parallels to the Scottish strong stubbornness and full-hearted fight for their freedom and independence😮. And not only since ThE UEFA EU there is a deep going feeling that these Scots might be brothers and sisters we lost but who will always find a place to stay, in our hearts with a lot of sympathy and always with a pub to welcome them and enjoy each other over some beers.
