azul Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 So 2012 saw some really awesome shows and really awesome shows come with awesome ballads as well! Who in your own personal opinions had the best ballad of 2012? No bashing please. Personal favorite and thought was the best from the start: Pacific Crest's version of "Yellow" by Cold Play. The arranging was so lush, thick, beautiful and filled with emotion! Loved it! Shout outs to Bluecoats using Bon Iver's "Flume" and Colts closing with "All By Myself." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catan Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Bluecoats were by far my favorite; luscious horn writing and lots of neat effects in the pit. I loved BD's ballad; very serene and calm. Boston had an incredible slow build and climax in their ballad. Crossmen's ballad was jammin!

glory Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Wait. Three posts and no one heard what I heard? Cadets. Do You Hear What I Hear? Best tune of the year. And don't tell me they should have rushed the sideline to blow straight at us. They tried something different and created a sublime moment.

dstemet Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Colts closer ballad was a guaranteed standing "O" every time before it was over. A true tribute to the ballad closers of old with a fresh arrangement and look. Some things done well never get old. These days it was considered a risk to put this kind of number as a closer, but it paid off with the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
