See and Hear the Master at Work! Classic Buddy Rich tunes performed live in 1982. Never-before released, includes special audio tracks.
The technique, musicality, intensity, and dedication that Buddy brings to music he plays leave many saying, “He is the greatest drummer in the world - a genius - there will never be another Buddy Rich.” In 1982, Buddy did three shows over three days as a pilot for a jazz television series with guests Mel Tormé, Gerry Mulligan, Woody Herman, Ray Charles, Anita O’ Day, Stan Getz, and Lionel Hampton.
This VOD spotlights six of Buddy’s classic tunes that he played with the band during that show. We re-edited these tunes to focus every possible camera on Buddy throughout the entire tune, so you will see the master at work, at all times.
Not only do you get the standard audio mix, you get an additional two audio mixes: one with the band hot so you can play along, with Buddy in the background; the other with Buddy hot so you can hear the nuances in his time, feel, and technique. Buddy’s playing is unique. He plays not just with his hands and feet, but also with every fiber of his being.

Rod Morgenstein, this guy is brilliant and soooo underrated !!!!!
Jeff Hamilton
Louis Belson.
Wearing a 3 piece suit and no blowing fan. Buddy was on another level never seen today
Keep in mind that buddy was 65 years old and still played like a warrior.
Roy Haynes is in his 90s and still doing it, n doing it, n doing it.
@@farshimelt Roy Haynes is a legend too, great cats
65 is not that old though.
He never played the same tune the same way twice. Simply the greatest there ever was.
I THINK this is the pinnacle of BUDDY's masterful execution, no one can reach it..
Best drummer ever.
There are a lot of excellent drummers out there, but in my opinion, this guy is the "GOAT " WOW !!!
Atop Mt. Olympus one finds the gods; prominently among them one will find Buddy Rich.
I worked at Ronnie Scott's club in Soho in '82 and in March, Buddy played a week there playing two shows a night. I was the worst waiter that week cos all I wanted was to watch the band! I put myself on bandroom duty too so I could meet Mr Rich. We shook hands, talked a little and I shared a doob with him! I was incandescent with joy and letters home to NZ family and friends were ONLY about that week! Magical!
I puffed in bottom line nyc audience n bathroom.. staff cudnt find frm tables.. i was undercover
The only show my Dad ever took me to see was Buddy, around '79-80. So happy he did. Not only that but it was the opening act that I truly remember more - Weather Report with Jaco!! Now that's a concert I will never forget. Thanks for the post.
Whoa !
Shit. TWO Legends under one roof? How did the universe not explode?!!
I tell you what...Buddy Rich was a Show my Dad made DAMM sure I was at..
Daaaaammmmmnnn...
Your day truly knew his music & this was something up to my generation did & that was to take our kids to shows of festivals so they got to see the real deal one & onlys & a diverse group of solo acts & band's who got a chance to play at those shows but predominantly Festivals...
Unfortunately being brought up in Europe it was difficult to see these great in shows of festivals & he had to hop the show or festivals were recorded so we can watch them at home & RUclips & a Big Thank You goes out to those who uploads many of these gems that were still recorded & you give us a chance to see these amazung musician's & i Thank You...
In light of this still ongoing coronavirus & its variants stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world...
" Respect & Peace "

If Weather Report ever needed any more credibility than they already had, then sharing that bill would’ve done it.
buddy rich makes the impossible LOOK EASY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was lucky enough to see Buddy and his band in person, 6 times. Dad was a drummer, so we went whenever we could. One time we watched him from stage right. We watched his left hand and his right foot. For years, when other bands/drummers would play the same charts, it never sounded the same. It was only about 30 years ago, I realized, it was the left hand and all the fills. The speed, precision and his ease of effort makes watching him all that more enjoyable. There are good drummers out there, but not sure I'll ever see another that comes close to Mr. Rich.
Without A Doubt greatest drummer of all time
One of them for sure
Greatest Jazz drummer of all times certainly.
Love the matched grip at the start. Buddy was the very best
Always this nonsense GOAT comment under every video of famous drummer
That is because Buddy was the best@@Martin_Bernard
@@csisalesbasics673 It sounds like a religion, there's no best
If you watch closely you can see him sing the horn solos. No one played with so much energy and speed and made it look so effortless. For a guy that couldn’t read music it is amazing that he didn’t miss one single nuance of any piece he performed on, and that included West Side Story. Johnny Carson once asked him if it was going to be difficult to perform with the London Philharmonic because he couldn’t read music. His response was”maybe for them”. What a drummer!
When he was introduced to Tommy Dorsey by the previous drummer, Tommy didn't want to talk to him because he knew Buddy couldn't read music. Buddy told Tommy to let him hear a song all the way through before he played it. Tommy reluctantly agreed. Buddy played it perfectly. I think Buddy eventually learned to read, but didn't need to because of his amazing memory.
Likewise, he was pressured by other drummers to try double-bass drums. One night, Buddy was playing with doubles and was complimented by a guy on how much better he sounded. Buddy showed him the back side of the basses and there was only one foot pedal. Buddy didn't need the second bass drum, so he proved it so people would stop bugging him..
Another true story is, Buddy was playing handball with his brother, tripped and fell against a wall and broke his arm in three placed. He continued playing with his band for three months with a sling on his arm, and playing with the other. Gifted, stubborn and tough.
Buddy was indeed a prodigy and I respect his speed, timing and skills. However, all his songs sound alike to me. I much prefer someone like Joe Morello or Papa Jo Jones. But, that's just me.
Yes, I'm a jazz drummer and I've done a lot of homework over the last 60 years.
@@boomerguy9935; I met him in Portland Maine, my father dropped me off and my mother picked me up.
I stuck around and helped him pack up his cymbals, he couldn't have been nicer helping me with my nervous little small talk.
I saw Buddy Buddy Rich twice, but I saw The Buddy Rich Big Band thrice (the ghost band, about six months after he died).
I didn't meet Buddy this time, but the second time I saw him was even crazier.
It was the Buddy Rich Big Band and this guy's orchestra', lol.
I'll let you guys guess who had their full band onstage also.
Woody Herman's full big band and an unbielievable upright bass monster, we don't know why his hands didn't fall off.
They just rolled the concert grand back and fourth between sets (It was always on dolly wheel frame apparently).
Amazing, nice wide stage for Gorham High School, Maine, USA.
The man is awesome, the best😂
Seriously, who plays like that wearing a suit ? The GOAT.
Truly amazing he often played ina suit when I saw him in the 80s he wore a jumper.
Seriously I can't even walk and chew gum in a suit !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤸
I hated tux when I did shows! Thanks for the call out.
Buddy Rich 😁
In his younger days he wore a black suit, white shirt and black tie, and so did Gene Krupa, Rufus Jones, Papa Jo etc. That was dress code back in the good old days. It must have been hot as hell.
I'm 71. Seen buddy rich twice... like seeing god with drumsticks 🇺🇸
The. Greatest. Drummer. Of. ALL. TIME!
Who would have had the joy of seeing this gentleman Buddy Rich play the drums live?

Incredible band, wonderful solo from Steve Marcus on Tenor, Buddy could light the city of LA with his energy 🥁🔥
I don't think I've ever seen someone playing THIS bombastically while still PERFECTLY serving the music.
He was unbelievable. A good drummer can steal the show.
@@jgdmlw Yes, but... what most drummers don't get is they are there to make the band sound better. Buddy and Louie Bellson did this brilliantly. All their fill work was in the background and didn't overshadow the band.
I saw him in El Paso. Got to talk to him. You would not believe what an incredibly humble man he really was. Steve
You are right, I wouldn't believe it. 😂 Seriously though, what an incredible experience. You are lucky!
I met him once, he was hanging w a bunch of other drummers before the outdoor show...it was such a cool vibe..not much talk....very humble, i felt he was focused on the gig coming. took a pic w/ him by his drums while he ate a hot dog. cool guy...
The tenor and trombone solos were phenomenal. Wow!
Yeah! Steve Marcus 🎷🎷🎷👏👏👏
One of the Greatest Jazz Drummer that Inspired Me ❤ Bravo and Kudos Mr. Buddy Rich 👏🔥
He’s like a freight train, just killer!!!
Simple kit is all a great drummer needs
Everytime is see footage of buddy that I haven't seen before im still in awe and he always does something that makes me rewind it over and over. That sweep on the crashes while doing the kick/snare double strokes, 👌
THE BUS TAPES
The rest of us could practice for 200 years and never come close to B Rich. A freak of Drumming nature for sure.
Buddy was purpose-built.
THE G.O.A.T.!!!!❤❤
Great chart
Saw Buddy about that time period
One of a kind
I wish I had paid more attention to all these guys when they were still alive and not so much on the Punk Rock and Rock Music I was into in the 70s&80s... Thank God for RUclips
GOAT
This is an astounding 177 BPM. That's insane. Great band.
I mouth breathed for most of that...
Even though I was born in the 2000's, this was my childhood 🥲😢😞 It will never be the same😩
I’ve sat up close to his drums twice and even got to touch his drum kit it’s was brillo
I've been playing drums for about 28 years and this guy is always been my Michael Jordan of drums. The best!!!
Great trombone solo. Never saw the guy once during it.
The laws of probability state that there would inevitably be a drummer of Buddy Rich's caliber. And so there was. But ONLY one. We will not see his equal again.🙏
I recognize that 4th trumpet player. I played with him for several years with the Yellowstone Big Band, the in-resident band of the Yellowstone Jazz Festival, where he played lead. John Harbaugh, currently, Professor of trumpet at Central Washington.
The best…..the absolutely best…….EVER………
2:53 - 3:2-Ah forget it. The whole thing is Buddy at his best! Amazing drumming! So glad I saw him so much in the late 60's, the 70's and into the mid 80's. This is one hell of a recording! Thank you!
Im so jealous you actually got to see him live, such a legend
Thank goodness they had cameras or else we would never have known of his greatness!
It’s this simple: if you think there’s someone better, then you’re not a drummer. In a league of his own
Thankfully this exists with at least some more emphasis and care into mic'ng the drum kit . It allows us to hear so much of his drum playing. Just goes to show how much is missed in his earlier drum recordings. This guy can swing like no other drummer that I have ever watched . Nm his solos
I was thinking the same thing. He sounded great. Man that dude can play...
Utah Kid.......
Was thinking the exact same.. you can hear all the little ghost notes, the snare sounds so crisp, and the rest of kit sounds luscious, the cymbals sound so chocolately too
There is only one Buddy Rich.
If God played drums it would be Buddy Rich
El rey de la batería..... increíble....
Like the Beatles; this will never happen again. He was the best!
One of the most 'melodic' Drum solos I've ever heard 👌🏿
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿❤️
Yes, definitely one of his more melodic solos.
Buddy Rich is just brutal, Steve Marcus was on fire, and the trombonist its bassicly a beast, only one question. WHY DOES THE TROMBONE NOT APEAR on all of the SOLO? This just got me so mad, as a brass player. But apart of that, a legend of theme and a legend drummer.
si
I'm a drummer and that got mad, too.
It's hard to believe that anyone who plays like that didn't read music. He would listen to the band play thru a tune one time, then he'd cut lose on it!
This was an awesome performance - everyone was so energized and Buddy slightly ahead of it all - fantastic 🙏👏👍
It's kind of interesting that that song doesn't swing, and has more of a straight feel to it, and that Buddy used matched grip as much as he did. He started, and ended the song that way. Having said that; what a drummer! There will never be another Buddy Rich.
If you watch a lot of drummers who use conventional grip they all seem to switch to match grip when the drumming gets hot and heavy in a song.
He played about 99% of the song using traditional
There is a good version of this on buddy rich live at Ronnie Scots.
Well, it's like a weird swung disco feel (the only way I can think of how to describe it), but even when he's playing a straighter song, he's still swinging. I mean, come on.
I don't think the man was capable of playing 100% straight, and that's fine by me.
@@superacesnare Probably the best version of that song. Except when I saw it live. I can't recall who they lead trumpet play was, but he was awesome on this song and Birdland. Maybe Chuck Schmidt?
Got to see Buddy Rich in the 70’s. Epic Drummer.
The drums sound great
No one before or since can swing on the kit better than Buddy. No one.
Listen to Sonny Payne with Basie. Doesen't have Buddy's chops but swings awesomely
This is like the opening music for a game show.
All together different cloth here !!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Brilliant. Always pleased to see past students of mine starting to get the hang of the drums.
Excellent tune and Buddy as always is amazing. His time, as always, was stunning.
This is an astounding 157 beats per minute.
I was thinking the same thing. wild. i thought maybe it was sped up. Original clocks in around 142 I think.
THE GOAT. PERIOD
Buddy just went for it and so its was always exiting and breathtaking to see him play. The original ANIMAL on the drums!
Neil Peart put together an amazing group of drummers for the album "Burning for Buddy" in which this song is covered just beautifully with Simon Phillips on the kit, an all time favorite song and record
I actually like that version better. Simon Phillips does an amazing job. Nice to hear the song with that arrangement and his solo is incredible. Precision with his double bass work and just nailed it......no disrespect to Buddy but I pick Simon over him on this song. Cool to hear it o his huge drum kit.
Yeah, gotta admit, think I agree with you, Buddys being live and other version produced in the studio may have given it a little advantage as well... sure can't go wrong with either
@@richardclegg5853 you are 100% right. Both Amazing....
I saw Simon with Jeff Beck on the There And Back tour when Simon was only 19. Phenomenal.
Neil peart 😂
One of my favourite performances ever.
Who played the most amazing trombone solo? Incredible! Not even a pan shot of this master.
I know, right. You don't hear trombone solos much. I think Diana Ross has a song with a trombone solo but other than that only Big Band music. This guys solo almost sounded like he had one of those 3 valved trombones but I think he was tearing up the slide! LOL
Most likely Minnesota's own Bruce Paulson!
It sounds like Conrad Herwig.
@@HellsKitchenFunk Yes. DEFINITELY Conrad. You can also see him in the group shot.
I love Steve Marcus' sax solo!
Totally awesome.
my favorite song, i love it!
rest in peace, legend!
OBRIGADO DEUS por nos ter emprestado esse Gênio chamado Buddy Rich por 70 anos, é uma pena que teve de pegar de volta, mas deixou lições ETERNAS.
Raised eyebrows @2.10 made me chuckle.
Truly unbelievable! Would have liked to see the guy on the trombone solo too
Looking for anyone with beards in the band. Lol.
Met him at the drum shoppe in las vegas !! God Bless the Mahoney Family !!’
I have been told that when the Buddy Rich Big Band was performing Dancing Men, they were the only band that could play it due its complexity.
Such perfection it’s almost insane.
It really is. I think people get tired of hearing his name ,but there's a reason. He was a killer.
Miss u Moe, Marty , Mike and Chris!!! Forever in my heart!!
His footwork. OMG!!
Simply The Best...
2:13 Buddy adds triplets on the HH then at 2:19 Steve Markus joins in. That came from playing together so long.
Buddy was insanely great 👍
Maybe he didn’t read but the time was clearly etched in his brain. He’s so fast playing fills making all the changes and going in and out of his solo perfectly. I could watch hours of this. Ozzes talent
Great camera work on the trombone solo
Seriously the GREATEST of ALL time!!!
Saw him live...met him...best ever!!!
4:19 my favourite time stamp. The swinging across the symbols and flying sweat everywhere ! 🥁😓
yes
Cool to see Buddy killing it on some Ludwigs!
The sounds are so great on headphones! And just with a few mics...
Buddy Rich
A natural, Best ever!
My favorite. Got an autograph from him on an old photo
For someone who kinda dissed rock styling, I’d say this Buddy was rockin this tune. He lays into a backbeat pretty nicely.
I do like this tune a lot. I think the recorded version was slightly more laid back tempo and grooves just a little better. Still killing it. Hope I can jam like this at 65
EXTRAORDINAIRE BUDDY !
Absolutely awesome fantastic great awesome wonderful talented gifted artist genius legend
The greatest drummer to ever walk this planet.
Joe Morello is a close 2nd place.
Mere mortals are thousands of places behind those two drum masters.
True statement!!
Dann solltet ihr euch mal Sonny Emory, Dave DiCenso, oder Dylan Elise anhören. Da ist Buddys Getrommle Kindergeburtstag dagegen.
Awesome!
El más grande baterista de la historia!!!!
Truly awesome ! I can't find the words to say how much l miss this King of percussion. I've not seen this clip and you can guarantee Buddy ALWAYS gave a 110% ! Truly loved and truly missed .
Wow, and wow!
Blows me away
Great!
Excellent buddy magnifique
