Best footage I've ever seen of the Blue Angels. It has to have been done by the team who made the film for IMAX and Amazon. Incredible.

[@crazyjohn4504]

It is directly from the IMAX film.

[@romeoalphamikejuliet6956]

This is THE BEST video of the Blue Angels coupled with Van Halen’s “Dreams”. Thank you so much!

[@crazyjohn4504]

My pleasure.

[@randallc7228]

I'm always proud to know I served in our country's military, and sometimes I forget how great we really are. A video like this reminds me how great my country really is and how proud I am of all my fellow active duty and veteran Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Coasties.

[@doca8792]

Absolutely one of the best VH songs and this video did the original pure justice! Brilliant.

YEW! Glad you enjoyed.

The skill and concentration to do this. I also remember the original Van Halen clip. Great memories.

[@jeffgordon8346]

I was 19 when this song came. To this day, i can't listen to it without the imagery of The Blue Angels playing in my mind.

Absolutely Love this, Plus my Dad was a "Blue", he was with the Maintenace crew, he was in charge of making sure these planes stayed in the air & ran correctly. That was the late 50's- 60's. He still says That was the Best Time in his Life!! My brother & I were Blessed to see them perform & get together for reunions! So Proud of Him!!

[@simplycomplicated7240]

First of all, thank you to ALL OF YOU who have served in the military for our country! Secondly, thank you to Van Halen for this great song! Lastly, thank you, Crazy John, for posting this! It's on my playlist now. ;)))))) Thank you, and please keep the great songs playing.

[@crazyjohn4504]

Aw shucks, thanks. Back at ya.

[@ashwb1]

May this song live 4 ever through the Blue Angels! Stunning!

[@biglar155]

Awesome. This is a very well done remake. I remember loving the original as a teen when it came out back in '86. Later, when I had little kids, I used to play the video for them on a regular basis and they would all dance around the living room. To this day my four adult children refer to this as "The Airplane Song."

[@crazyjohn4504]

Great story. this clip is for the next gen.

Best video of the Blues I've seen in a long time, if not ever. Especially with them in the Super Hornets. The slow motion and vapor add so much. Always loved the original but this is definitely an improvement. Navy vet here.

Did they use Course Airs? It wouldn't be Mustangs because that was Army / Air Force...Did they have jets in service in 1948?

I used to hear this song after sesame street as a toddler, it is still a legacy to my mind of the power we possess and what we can achieve if we but dream the dream we are born to live. Thank you Van Halen

[@jumpingjeffflash9946]

Eagles Fly is what gets me going, the video featuring the F-15 and the ground/flight crews here on YT, reminds me of my time spent in the USAF crewing jets, an experience I am glad I did and do not regret.

I got to have a photo op with Blue Angels Number 1 pilot Captain McWherter when I was 3. It was amazing. Even though it was years ago, I remember them blasting this music while the Blues were flying. This music goes so well with the badassery of the Blue Angels. God bless the US Navy.

[@dougbankhead1566]

Great video! This NEVER gets old! The promotions person that came up w/ the idea of using Dreams in the 50th Anniversary salute and subsequently making it the Blue Angels unofficial theme song was a stroke of absolute marketing genius! For anyone who hasn't seen the latest documentary on Amazon Prime it's well worth the time! Excellently produced and I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to see it in an IMAX theater. Still a treat on a HD / 4K tv though. Oddly enough they don't use this song in the movie? Not sure if it was b/c they couldn't get the rights or they just wanted to produce something completely new, but it's a great watch regardless!

[@crazyjohn4504]

tru.

[@timwalsh715]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bruhnvh]

Enjoyed this, thanks! Though I love the Super Hornet, and it's beautiful here, count me as one who thinks the A4 version is still the best. Can't put a finger on it with certainty, but I think part of it is that the short/stubby A4 airframe looks better in close formations and interactions in this role than the long/skinny Hornet and Super Hornet. But I have to say- that formation break starting at 3:43 may just be the most breathtaking thing I've ever seen any aircraft or demo team do. I thought so when I watched the original film, and seeing it here just confirms it.

[@scupperdog9343]

The original Blue Angels video of Dreams was, by far, my favorite video growing up. I've seen remakes with more current aircraft, but they all seemed to be missing something intangible. They just didn't feel "right." That being said, this video is AWESOME! Watching it, I felt just like I did when I was a kid watching the original. Big ups and a huge Thank You to whoever created and edited this video. It was an absolute joy to watch!

[@crazyjohn4504]

You're very welcome. This clip feels right because it's an actual attempt at a music video as opposed to just laying down longform airshow footage over the song, which previous others have done. This song is an old favourite of mine and lives in my veins. The footage was sequenced purposely to match the feels.
