Aside from a *touch* on “Glorious” during “glorious and free”, there’s no unnecessary frill. It’s about the words, presented in a beautiful voice. It’s not about the voice and range. And look at the people. They are not trying to see themselves on the videoboard. The voices tho. Milt, Henry, Rick and Jim. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It begins and ends with Hank. Henry was good. So was Miro's girlfriend. Know you couldn't stand Doug Allen, but Dougie was good and consistent. Wasn't awesome but he didn't drag them out like so many of his replacements have done. His signature tweak to the US anthem wasn't major. He didn't want to be the star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing him at the end after a few minutes during which there was actual palpable drama (if you are going to do anthems they should be like that).. just something about it. I was in the right mindset when you hear him. Or maybe the wrong one, it’s making me cry. There’s just a magic there we can’t get back. Really hurts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBaltimore Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 My college team was the Golden Knights (we predate the Vegas team), and we'd yet "Night" during the anthem. I personally don't mind the anthems. I think it's cool we do both. I'd be fine if they stopped doing them all together. I'm not Canadian, but I know the English version of the anthem pretty well after so many Sabres games. Pretty embarrassing this guy messed it up. I noticed it right away, but as someone else said, after how bad we played I kind of forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Why does it have to be American Idol at KBC? Find a great singer and hire them to sing the anthem at all home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It begins and ends with Hank. It actually begins with Tenor Joe Byron, who along with organist Norm Wullen, gave us solid and straight forward anthem singing for decades. This is an early version of Oh Canada, lots of "standing on guard" and some of todays lyrics are missing.
