Chet Baker - Bye bye, Blackbird (1964) Live

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

Wow! What a time capsule.. very fine jazz with cigarette smoking. I remember it well...

1964 was a time when everybody was smoking and drinking at all times. That is only a mild exaggeration.

[@brucebreitweiser1592]

??? - they playing the tune in F#

[@jumpingdogdesign]

Sounds like the tape slowed down, they all drop key together

[@lew306]

​@jumpingdogdesign I read somewhere that the flugelhorn wasn't in the best shape and had some valve/tube problems. He recorded a whole LP with it too, "Baby Breeze". Born To Be Blue is off that one.

[@JS-dt1tn]

the tape is changing speeds, so the pitch is changing.
