Buddy Rich - Space Shuttle [Live in Chicago, 1973]

A GREAT recording of one of my favorite John LaBarbera charts that he wrote for Buddy.
Buddy fans first heard this rare chart on Buddy's 1972 RCA LP "Stick It."
Very cool to hear this chart live in concert!

Anyone have a copy of BR playing “winning the West” from 1970 album Keep the Cust…. Only heard it from the album. Great hearing some of these live versions.

Thanks for posting this exciting chart, SF. I can't believe the combinations Buddy was playing between left hand and bass drum - scary! Who was the bass player?

[@sinatrafan9856]

You’re welcome! Jerry Trice was the bass player
