HOOKEDBYLEGEND78 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I haven't seen too much of the ol' Blue Devils, unfortunately. I love the 1986 show, but what the heck are they wearing? Puffy shirts? Yah, that's where Seinfeld got the inspiration for that "pirate-garb" show with the 'puffy shirt"!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Top 10 Blue Devils shows, for me? All of 'em. :P But seriously, folks..... These come to mind: 1976 1979 1980 1982 1986 1988 1997 1998 2002 2004 In particular, the Devils' 1982 performance at the show in Bayonne, NJ, to this day ranks as one of the top two or three performances I've ever seen, on any level of the drum corps activity. Absolutely incredible. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOKEDBYLEGEND78 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 2004Summer Train Blues Mix anyone??? Awesome music, and super awesome hornline!!! The end of the show just didn't quite finish it off for me, though. I wanted to end with the train pullin' in to the station ROARIN' - not leavin! Maybe with a reprise of the 12/8 section from the opener!!! Park it and bark it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely incredible. Fran Fran, No kidding ! I remember that night vividly. We had rehearsal tha night for Cranford Patriots, Carmen had heard how like half the corps was going to that show and he told us all the night before that if anyone isnt at practice , we ere going to be "kicked out" of the corps ! Well, low and behold, looking in the stands I think about thirty of us were there that night. What a line up, Garfield Cadets, Phantom, BD, 27th, Freelancers, Bridgemen......But that night belonged to BD ! Unbeleivable ! ~G~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmpiano Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Aside from the '02 show, I haven't been big on Devs the last ten years or so. Either my taste changed or their aim changed. You know, I think that is a good point. For me the beginning of the end of their enjoyable shows was 95. 96 started the trail towards disjointment with smaller and smaller chunks of melody. I think the desire to experiment and produce "shows" began to be predominant, and less was focused on the desire to wow the audience, i.e. they wanted to play the game. That in mind the only two shows that I absolutely LOVE since 95 are 99 and 02. Both amazing shows. 99 should have been a solo title for BD if they would have had a good run. I'd LOVE to get my hands on a copy of their semi finals show to hear how much better that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
