Best DCI show based on rock/pop music

90 BD - I'm just a little biased, lol

^0^

Just a little trivia: one of the reasons the Tommy show was chosen was because the judges were complaining that all BD played was jazz and wanted them to expland. We did yet every time we got to PBW the music judges would say 'this is the BD I know'. So much for listening to judges.

For as good as judges are, they are human, and tend to be creatures of habit. That's one thing I wish would get better...

Easily BD 1990, with Colts 1997 in second (that show deserved to be in finals, and it was a crime they were 13th).

Mad props to Suncoast Sound 1984 though, for having Yes and Rush in the drum solo (Changes and YYZ) and some Rolling Stones in the closer (Satisfaction).

Emeral Knights mid 80's

Changes by Yes (drum solo)

Burning down the house(closer)

don't remember the rest

wierd geen unis, and Blue stars helmets (i think)

loved it

That was 84. "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie was the closer that year.

I went with Tommy--kick ### show.

My close second would be a toss up between 82 Freelancers--light pop--and 84 Freelancers--Tower of Power (that mello solo has to be the best ever performed).

And "Code of Ethics" by Manhattan Transfer was the opener. Noooooooooooooot exactly rock 'n' roll.

They were Knights Jr. that year. The drumline was, anyway.

94 Glassmen seemed to get across the "mojo" of the MB as well as any show I can think of. Just the right amount of eerie.

BTW, I think we're going to see more and more shows of contemporary artists. Outside of licensing issues, it seems like it's a less explored area, and one ripe to be exploited.

Probably my favorite Steve Rondinaro quote ever was about Glassmen 94:

"Lots of balls on the field"

I imagine that he always wanted to say something like that during the telecast. Classic!

Better than hearing Cesario say it!

Sure....... on my CD player, lol

Seriously though, yeah I could, just not as strong as when I was actually practicing every day. Sucks getting old, huh?
