- Capitol Fourth on PBS, 2009. The sound of the saluting batteries were weak, so I added the sounds of my ship firing in NAM. USS Newport News, 'Mighty Thunder' Lives on. Video from WUNC. Sound Re-Edited by Dexter Goad. My Story at • From Cuba to Vietnam
Thanks for the left ear rape
kuopassa well I'd rather be deaf in both ears EQUALLY rather than only one ear, especially when I rely on surround sound or stereo audio
Real artillery guns AND a Chorus! This is one of the better renditions on UA-cam. But I still can't get over the irony: the nation that rebelled against its king sings at 03:04, "God Save the Tsar (Боже, Царя Храни).
At first I thought Tchaikovsky wrote his "1812 Overture" for orchestra, cannons, bells and optional brass band. Then I though he added an optional choir, but it was the late Igor Buketoff who transcribed the piece for choir and orchestra.
Also we weren't that fond of the Tsar either. That would come back to bite us in the ass....
I Was (am) aware that those are Army Guns. and the Salute Battery did a fine job. As I said above, The sound was weak (because no TV microphones were nearby). So I edited in Navy Gunfire I had recorded of my ship firing in Vietnam. Later, we lost 20 Shipmates when one of the big Guns (Turret Two) exploded. It is to these Fallen Shipmates that this video is dedicated. MCPO Dexter Goad, USN Retired
Those are cannons from 1812 overture by Russian composer
Bit that an Ame.....can? Hello from ussr
My left ear really enjoyed this video
I love what you have Done with the sound.
Now that's cool. I remember the N.News from Nam on the news when I was a kid. A magnificent ship. Great effect.
Thanks, Saburu Sakai I was aboard for the Cuban Missile Crisis and two Vietnam tours.
Wow, THAT must have been pretty exciting. Facing down the Ruskies and then pounding the NVA with those rapid fire 8 in guns. I remember how torqued off I was when I saw them scrapping her in "Proceedings" magazine way back when. BTW I just use Saburu's name, mine is far more American sounding (Carl).
Back at you Brother, and Welcome Home. HCU-1 done good. Yes, we lost 20 Shipmates when our Number 2 Turret exploded. We will never forget Them or the Supreme Sacrifice They made for Our Country. MCPO Dexter Goad, USN Retired.
Yay America!
Fireworks!!
Cannons!!!
Russian music!!!!
Oh wait...
I Made This Account to Insult People I like how straightforward your username is
Even funnier, The French were invading Russia at this point, while being blockaded by Britain, who was atyacking the U.S. Russia was technically aligned against us.
Though by Tchaikovsky's time, that was no longer remotely true.
Dont forget the song contains a frament of france's anthem, so yeah, mr. Worldwide.
@@mussicanttakegreece7296 Fragment of the Russian imperial anthem was there as well
My right ear is lonely and would also like to listen to this fine music.
Thank you, I had an interview with a Polish Journalist recently about our ship during the Cuban Missile Crisis. You can read about this on "My Love of Thunder" web site.
Hmm, 2009 -before they had headphones that had sound come out of different sides.
Jacob Furrow I find you profile picture to be ironically hilarious
The US didn't added the cannon fire and brass bells.
Those were adoptions take longe before the US dissimulated the song to portrait freedom.
In 1976 when I was a kid my uncle, a navel officer, had invited my mother (recently widowed) to join him and crew aboard his ship for an independance day celebration. There were a number of other civilian guests aboard. They had a navy band aboard and set sail. We got to about 50 miles off shore and then the concert began. With a slight gentle rocking the band played. First the National Anthom, then a medly of various American and patriot music culminated with this piece.
They finished up by firing every gun on the ship and setting off some pretty nifty fireworks. Best 4th of July ever. My late father, a Navy man, would have approved. Since, every version of the 1812 has seemed dull and lifeless. It's just not the same without those massive guns. I'm not sure how big they were but they looked like they were big enough that it would be easy to slam dunk a basket ball in one.
That must have been so fun to be the guy pulling the trigger...
Jesse - pulling a lanyard, I think. Not squeezing a trigger
Hate to break it to you but the cannon fire and steeple bells were a feature of the original piece, and were not inserted by Americans, it's become frequently used at firework displays all over the world because quite frankly its powerful explosive sound simply suits a fireworks display perfectly :)
In the last salvo of shots did anyone else notice a smoke ring from the first gun?
Can only imagine how many windows rattled and car alarms were set off that night in D.C.!!!
That was an awesome editing! Well done!
03:04 When you realize the tsar's lives on with 1812 overture:
Just a reply, but both the steeple bells and cannon fire was in the original piece.
Thanks, Shipmate. Have a Great Fourth. Dex
The best recording ever is the 1958 recording of the 1812 is the Mercury Living Presence
recording with Antal Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
I have a stereo cd and record of this, it can blast your socks off!!!
N.JOY!!!
Though not included at the original performance, sadly. (See wikipedia, they have a good article).
Good question. The TV audio is in Stereo and the Navy Gunfire was recorded in Mono. I could have duplicated the mono sound on both channels, but I decided it was more effective as i originally edited the sound.
I was in Nam (US Navy, 1st class Diver/EOD). I saw your ship, the Newport News, in PI when we were on a Wespac, prior to receiving new orders to HCU1. If I recall correctly, there was an explosion on it prior to docking at Subic Bay? Thanks for the service bro!
The name of the guy is pietr ilich Tchaikovsky.cannons the part of overture
My dream is to hear this with full choir, cathedral bells, and THE FULL-THROATED CANNONS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY IN FULL VOLUME.
These people know how to celebrate !
@TheTubadude03 Sousa was a great composer. I'm not ignorant enough to compare him to Les Six or the Russian Five; but he is a staple of american music. There is a reason he is known as "The March King". And wasn't George Gershin an American?
i wonder how much all of those fire works must cost every year...
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cannon fire.
Very interesting observation. Thanks, and Peace. Dex
Why was God Save the Tsar also playing?
1812 Overture is a musical retelling of Napoleon's invasion of Tsarist Russia. Thus, just as the French anthem "La Marseillaise" is used to represent Napoleon and the French, "God Save the Tsar" represents Russia.
I think it is partly written in the music
Louder, LOUDER! I want the entire United States Navy in on it!
Who cares if its about Russia in 1812! This is amazing stuff!!! Love it.
Very strange ... At the end of the overture singers sing in Russian national anthem of the Russian Empire, "God Save the Tsar! Strong sovereign reign in glory..." But I like it. I'm Russian :)
Hopefully that shell from the naval gun doesnt hit my hou*looks out window and sees a shell coming for him*OH SHI*His house blows up*
they're all blanks
Actually, the cannon fire and church bells were already called for by Tchaikovsky...America just decided to start using modern artillery pieces in place of the cannons, as it requires fewer (faster reload time, so you usually only see 3 as opposed to the 7-8 cannons), it's easier to find working modern artillery, and it's safer than firing 100+ year old cannons.
could you imagine if they had 16 inch guns firing
There is only left channel audio
Se supone que Tchaikovsky ya habia agregado los cañones y las campanas; dudo mucho que EEUU haya echo tales modificaciones; estas se encuentran en la partitura original
Strange for America....all uvertire is about how Russia defenced it self from Napoleon.And the text is part from Russian Orthodox Liturgy and than the Russian Imperial Anthem ending uvertire.
Yes, but beautiful music.
we americans sorta co-opted it as something about our own war of 1812 against the brits. Most average 'muricans have no idea its about russia. Its an awesome piece of music no matter what the meaning is behind it.
guliver43 a lot of Americans can be written off as retards who either are too ignorant or just couldn't be bothered to care. Or too stubborn to care
Windows 95 called and wants their speakers back
TheArchitectOfDreams my computer still runs XP so I find this very amusing
They know how to whoop it up !
If the Soviets had found out about it, they wouldn't have stopped laughing until 1991.
wondering what does Russia's war with Napoleon in 1812, is the independence of the United States?
they should bring a modern battleship and fire blanks instead of normal cannons
Is my right ear even working ?
Nobody else find it weird to hear Americans sing "God Save the Tsar"?
Good question. Russia's war with Napoleon of 1812 is also occasionally referred to as the "War of 1812", which is not to be confused with the conflict of the same name between the United Kingdom and the United States. True, the music was written for Russia but, in 1974, the USA adopted the piece, added cannon fire & steeple bells, and now use it every Independence Day to celebrate Freedom.
Steeple bells were already in the score... as was artillerey fire...
"And what instrument do you play?"
"The cannon"
Russian churches bells
Nice idea, but the stereo mix is unbalanced and very choppy on the right channel. Not pleasant listening. I hope you'll try it over.
I suggest you slow down your gun sample by about a third, to give you a longer sample and deepen the pitch. Take the longer sample and trim the envelope so it tapers off more gradually, maybe add a little reverb. Keep orchestra equal in both ears, Mix the gun sample onto both channels of orchestra. Delaying one channel of the gun sample by 40-50 ms will shift phase and make it sound more natural in stereo.
Here's a double Maker's Mark, neat, to the memory of your fallen mates. ~asr~
asr, I agree with your critique and, if i edited a do-over, I would do it pretty much as you suggested. But, I'm coming up on 110,000 viewers (and listeners). Should I just zero them out and start over?
Yes.
Not sure how that stuff works, but keep them and add the new ones, if you can. I can't speak for everyone, but I would come watch it again at least a few times.
Check out that Smoke ring at 3:54-3:57!
The Cannon and bells have always been in it.
did u see how fast they shot towards the end. imagine that with real shells raining all hell down on any enemy
If can, I want to the 16 inches gunfire service.
This is what goes on inside my head when I get laid.
You mean cannons weren't in the original russian version?
there is no sound
Naval? That's Artillery guns not naval
My left ear!!
2:51, the Congress explodes.
@DJSolidify Now what about John Philip Sousa??? No amazing classical composers? And jazz barley has African roots. Jazz started in Louisiana when someone would die they'd have a funeral march and on the way back they would play the same piece with an up tempo that's how jazz basically came to be. From military marches one could even say. Oh and John Philip Sousa, one of the greatest composers of all time. He was a marine, he was in our navy. I'm not trying to sound like an A-hole.
Yes they were. At least in Tchaikovsky's vision and compositions. Also the bells... All russian :)
What they celebrate?
'Merica! in all seriousness though, this gives me a patriot boner. music from a russian with american artillery.
Nice thing you added extra firing sounds, but you had to use more than just one, also it's too short and ends too early, so next time put more effort for God's sake!
'MERICA!
I have a subwoofer, but this recording doesn't have good bass.....
America! Fuck Yeah!
Americans using an Imperial Russian song to celebrate their freedom and independence.
There's a joke in there somewhere, and I think it involves irony.
La Marseillaise and God Save The Tsar in Washington DC
Hazique Salleh great music is inspiring no matter where it's played or who composed it...
@MattTheBandKid You have got to be kidding me kid. Sousa was a great march writer, that hardly makes him one of the greatest composers of all time. There is no way on God's green earth that he is even in remotely the same league as Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and those are just the Russians. If you want to talk about American composers you should be speaking of Aaron Copland at the very least, and perhaps Charles Ives.
Not the most melodic version I have heard,must be poor sound balance.
Russian Music in USA?
So now usa army is russian?
3:56 smoke ring :D:D
my left ear just got raped
I'm gonna get those responsible for operation fast and furious
What!?
U
Mad
Bro?
Kelting pot😮
Can anyone tell me, why the Russian Empire Anthem is play on Independent Day? God save Russian King?
yoga for beginners
i need a subwofer
No es artilleria naval.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇾👍
ok
Best par 2:36
Hail the motherland Russia!
We sovok folk laugh at u.
Dammit 'Merica!
Imperial anthem... Umm, well, we could say your revolution took care of the empire. At least we're not singing to some revolutionary communist piece. Now, that would be shameful.
my wife be rusian im sure she never looks this sorry to my bad inglish i be mexican
+enrique chava garcia medina The composer of this overture was also Russian...
me imagino que tanto para ella como para Tchaikovsky debe ser una sensación muy emocionante escuchar las rendiciones que le hacen en todo el mundo a tan magnífica obra
Thanks. Achtung Baby. Dexter
(Translation) I imagine that for her and for Tchaikovsky should be a very exciting feeling to hear renditions that make it around the world as magnificent work.
if the sound wasnt shit this could be cool.
