Final Fall of Saigon & raising of North Vietnamese Flag, filmed by Australian Neil Davis. He also filmed the famous summary execution of a Suspected Viet Cong on the streets.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:12am
Brian D:

@Scott67, another Neil, Neil Sheehan (an Irish-American) did some of the most important reporting on the war. The Pentagon Papers later, but his book "Bright Shining Lie" is amazing.

John Pilger is Australian too.

Neil Davis was killed by shrapnel from a Government Tank shell. While filming a failed Coup attempt in Bangkok, 1985.

I love Patton. It's amazing how much his voice has matured. He always had range, but he transformed from slightly nasal metal voice to... everything.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:08am
Brian D:

Indeed, Fox. Great version of that song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:08am
Scott67:

I think his voice had no choice but to evolve, to keep up with his musical mind.
