There has been a massive change over the years how bands play. Tuning from what I hear is way too sharp and as you can hear in this clip, the style of drumming has seen a massive change. So have standards gotten better, that's open to discussion and argument but don't base you opinion on an old piece of video. Phineas, you are attempting to say a lemon is sweeter than a spoon full of sugar.

1970’s male long hair style and No 1’s with feather bonnet was definitely not a good look!

Listening to it yes it is good but now in 2014, any really good grade 4 or grade 3b band would be better. Standards have got so much better

That is completely false. The biggest difference is the arrangement/selection of competition tunes, and tuning to some extent. Probably across the board, standards are alot better now across all bands, but there is no way a grade 4 band now is better than a grade 1 band then. A top class band from the era playing the same set/tuning, as a grade 1 band today would be just as good, if not better.
