James Last puts his own signature to the country classic, Orange Blossom Special. It's a favourite at all his concerts and the night would not be complete without it!
@@plunkervillerr1529 I agree with you, I think Billy Vaughn's 1961 arrangement and execution was better. I like Vaughn's inclusion of guitar solo's as opposed to Last's brass section even though I play the trumpet. And why the silly horse whinnies in a railroad song about a train that ran from NYC to Miami? Imitation of train whistle, you betcha. A horse whiny? Might as well include pig oinks to go with it.
Where have the Great Orchestras of yesteryears gone. Iam 67, I feel sad. Thank God their music is still alive . Reminds me of my school days, great memories!
Diane Bright R .I.P JAMES GOD BLESS YOU STARTED WATHING JAMES AT Bellvue Manchester Kings Hall he was a Gent had lots of time for is fans Will miss him very Sad lose
I travelled from the UK to Zwickau in Germany some years ago to work on one of James's shows just like this. I had an absolutely fantastic time, and was amazed to see so many coaches from the UK filled with people who had come to Germany specifically to see James and his team in Concert. His sad passing was a great loss to the world of live entertainment. He was a true Gentleman of Music. R.I.P James.
Thanks Paul! I travelled to Cologne to see the last James Last concert ever. The live concerts were always great and I still miss them. We always enjoyed every moment. Even the sound checks when free wine was passed round to everyone there. I’ve never seen that happen anywhere else. James Last was a very generous guy and really looked after his fans.
James Last and his Orchestra was one of my father's favourite. Our DVD of one his concert got worn out because he would always watch it a year before my father passed. It is just today that I have a video of James Last because it would remind me of my father. Rest is peace and danke Hansi and my father.
Nothing sweeter than 14 violins playing this song all in harmony. Would like to hear this song James Last - Orange Blossom Special James Last - Orange Blossom Special with the violins
Ow woow I love this so much. Im from 1971 so when my parents had a party, this kind of music was played and we all loved it!! Annd my parents partied a lot!! So glad I got to know Mr James Last and his Orchestra. He left a truly great ensemble and reaches milions with his great work. My 12 year old son loves this one as well, just as he lovees Biscaya too. Im proud to be the middleman in passing through our good taste in music.
Nobody is better than JAMES LAST ........ he was, he is and he will be FOREVER the King of Sound and Party. Danke Hänschen für all die SUPERTOLLEN STUNDEN mit Deiner Musik und Deinem Sound!!! PS: Wenn man die Musiker/innen auf der Bühne sieht, dann erlebt man PUREN SPAß mit ihnen. Wenn man den Holländer mit seiner Truppe sieht ............ dann .......... weiß man erst´, was die James Last Band/Truppe ausmacht. AUTHENTIZITÄT und PURE FREUDE AN DER MUSIK!
Ein dickes Danke schön ! Für diesen Mann, sein Genie, seine Band, seine Musik ! Ach verdammt, dafür, daß es ihn gegeben hat. In seiner Musik lebt er weiter. 🤗❤️🥰
What's REALLY amazing is how the performers hardly change .... from as early as 2000 to when they finally disbanded after Last's demise. No one stays in an ensemble that long unless they really love being there.
If this song ends and you don't have a smile across your face.....😲.....then listen AGAIN and just enjoy the song, the happiness, and the FANTASTIC way music can chase away worries, stress, loneliness, you name it. Learn to let music take OVER! 🙂🙂
magical,magical,magical!! im 35 and most people i know wouldnt have a clue who James Last is,thank god ive been listening to his albums since i was six.This is music at its best,all that talent in one place. wish i had been there!
Alistair Edwards thank you Alistair. Yes James Last music was and still is eclectic and covers so many genres it’s hard to categorise- except it’s James Last!
Looky yonder comin....comin down that railroad track....it's the Orange Blossom Special briningin my baby back. I used to play this in bands on the fiddle. If you bump up the speed to 1.25 that's the speed I usd to play this at. A show stopper for sure.
go 'ed there HANSI! you taught us how to party and enjoy music at last. anyone my age will only remember things like the BBC Orchestra sitting stiff in suits and ties..then this appeared. R.I.P. the one and only..HANSI JAMES LAST
This made my day! Listening to James Last's music brings me back to my youth when my Dad religiously played his music 7 days a week, too loud the neighbors thought it's always Cinco de Mayo fiesta whole year round LOL...way to go James! Hope u get to live longer to pass on your music to the new generation!
Saw this live at the Royal Albert Hall in London back in the 1970s, this is by far still my favourite version of OBS ever ! RIP James, you've left us so many happy memories with your arrangements.
i agree. we used to call james HANSI...i defy anyone not to tap their feet at this. and Andre is magical music that i could listen to for rest of my life espescially his Struass stuff.
Absolutely beautiful crazy happy music. Has there ever been a better melody for trumpets and violins? I don't know any. To me, this Orange Blossom Special from James Last will always be the best. A real masterpiece!
When a large steam engines boiler was operating at top potential it made a harmonic resonance through it’s firebox air intake over coal grates. Known as “ drumming “ it was an unmistakable sound of raw power. This tune sounds like the old girl when she’s pulling her train in top form.
Dear God.....I do LOVE the Orange Blossom Special. This is THE best rendition of it I have EVER heard!!!
Combo of bluegrass, Western swing .it's great
Billy Vaughn`s was better 1960 .

I really miss the days of good music and clean fun. I play this every morning; this makes my whole day happy.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you. Your comment means a lot!
Agree.
If there was more music like this, the world couldn't help being a lovelier place.
Wonderful wonderfull
Every bar in Ireland on a Saturday night
De la vraie musique.cela nous change des chansons et orchestre de dégénérés de " France ".
Every single person performer and audience member looks like they are having the time of their life. This is real music!
Chiqitete
And Entertainment!! ♥️💕👍
YOU ARE RIGHT......MUSIC SOOTHES THE SOUL.
Always say James last doesn't give concerts more like a very very enjoyable party worth every penny🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I love James Last Orchestra, the members always look like they enjoy playing their instruments.
Yes, it looks like a great time being in his orchestra.
No one can put on a good show like James Last does.. He spotlights not just his band but the audience as well. At 81 he still rocks.
Where have the Great Orchestras of yesteryears gone. Iam 67, I feel sad. Thank God their music is still alive . Reminds me of my school days, great memories!
It makes sense that a civilization should teach with music, love with music, heal with music, have fun with music and sing to save our lives.
Amen
I have no words of this version of Orange Blossom Special ... It's so AWESOME & TIMELESS !!
It's wonderful to see people of all ages enjoying this music!
RIP, James Last. Thank you.

Every time I turn on my pc, I MUST hear THIS recording of Orange Blossom Special! There are many others, but NONE like James Last!!!
Thank you! And yes, it was so popular, it always featured in every live show until Hansi passed away in 2015.
This rendition of the “Orange Blossom Special” is the best! It doesn’t get any better than this!
Thanks!
The Miami Beach version is. . . . 😊 Mmm, just saying.
That is correct George!
I’m playing the trumpet....getting thirsty.......I’ll just go down to the bar and get me a large beer......don’t worry James, I’ll keep playing 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
What can I say..........the happiest music ever.

Absolutely beautiful crazy happy music. Has there ever been a better melody for trumpets and violins? I don't know any. To me, this Orange Blossom Special from James Last will always be the best. A real masterpiece!
Die Violinspieler hatten einiges zu tun
When a large steam engines boiler was operating at top potential it made a harmonic resonance through it’s firebox air intake over coal grates. Known as “ drumming “ it was an unmistakable sound of raw power.
This tune sounds like the old girl when she’s pulling her train in top form.
Fantastic orchestra! happy music !
I play this once everyday.
