1St time I heard Maynard I was 14. Didn’t play sax yet. I was so completely blown away that I bought a horn, I’ve. Been playing professionally ever since 53 years. Thank you 🙏 sir. 🎶🎷
Huge MF fan. Just about all of his records, spent my entire HS years on weekends transcribing 100’s of his songs to play along, got to spend time with the band in the 80’s, 100’s of shows under my belt. The reason I loved MF was the opportunity to hear in his music what made him so powerful, poised, and solid with his range. Sure there are High note players today that are just fantastic (Bergeron, Ingram, for instance) but nobody will ever come close to the style, charisma, stage presence, and kind of chart playing that Maynard Ferguson did. The mold was broken. All of that said, I absolutely detest the speed of this version/song. It takes away from all that made you listen to MF. It’s just too fast to see how powerful he was. RIP Boss
If your a player you know you just have to see how far you can push it up and still keep it clean!!! And did they. Kicks musicians off their feet, you know? That's the goal for them in two ways but would need to hear from sk Some who was there.
Yes brother! This was the song that enticed me into a lifelong journey as a jazz player. I heard it on a Spring day during lunch break in high school when a friend of mine played it on the band room stereo. That was is for me, I was hooked.
The first time I saw Maynard was within a month or two of this particular concert - at UNT. Same exact band, and this was his opening piece. TONS of energy, and the crowd went nuts. I was just a young trumpet player who was already a big fan. But I can promise you that I left the concert A CHANGED PERSON. That night may have had the biggest impact of anything in my entire musical career! Something I will never forget.... Thank you Maynard. RIP
I was at that Canadian Stage Band concert and, yes, the band was awesome. Better yet was seeing Maynard coming out first to hear Humber College's band who were the warm-up band for Maynard. What I heard was that he changed his program to go all out because Humber was really cooking. Within a couple of months, he hired two people from that band.
Our Phi Mu Alpha chapter hosted our first annual Jazz Festival back in March of 1976 and we featured the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra as the final performance of the evening. We were fortunate to have none other than Dennis Noday as one of the adjudicators during the festival. When chatting with him about what the band was going to play at the concert that evening he said "Give It One Burnout!" He said they were playing it so fast you couldn't count it off. He said Maynard simply tossed a towel up in the air and when it hit the stage floor they started playing. We all laughed! But that night Maynard tossed a towel into the air and when it hit the floor BAM!!! We were damned good college players (we thought) but we all wanted to toss our axes in the trash after we heard that! Unbelievable!! I have never heard a band that tight before or since! BH
Hey, Brother! Our Eta Beta Sinfonian chapter hosted Maynard's orchestra at Pembroke State University in October of '81. And we were fortunate to have Stan Mark & Mike Migliore as our adjudicators. I was lucky to get chummy with Stan and after the concert, he threw me the MF shirt off his back. :-) Unfortunately, an uncaring act from a sister saw it sitting in a box on trash day while I was off touring with my own band. :-( No one was/is better than Maynard!
Ha! Our high school jazz band played this for our winter concert my senior year... then we went to see Maynard in concert and realized we hadn't even come close LOL a humbling experience.
I feel blessed to have been able to hear Maynard and his bands many times over the years, and even more so to have had the opportunity to talk with him a few times as well. What a musician, what a man. They say you don't want to meet your heroes. I'm grateful to have known this one.
Oh... I heard. Both are top shelf. This tune could easily get out of control but the rhythm section held it solid even though they both are moving at blinding speed. Great stuff.
It is so funny that Maynard always had a mic in front of him, but it was never on. If you ever heard him live, he didn't need no stinkin' microphone. I saw him several times at a dinner theater where every seat was within about 50 feet of his bell. Deafening sound. That poor micro[hone. :) ( I guess he played flugelhorn rarely, and could have used the mic then.)
As amazing a player as Wayne is, he is a technician, when Maynard was more or less primal on his approach to playing. It was about pure energy, sound, and less about technical facility, as in the 1950’s
Sax player here and ya, ya, dat s.sax solo and all, but you gotta fucking give it up for mr. Peter Erskine on drums. Dude worked overtime on this song!
Maynard & his band played Birdland the same nights that Miles & his band (with Trane) played. When one band finished their set, the other band would have 5 minutes to take the stage...5 sets a night. Strikes me as an odd juxtapositioning of acts/styles, hence, crowds.
Demeaning to turn your back on audiences, Miles. You are a legend but u made fun of of Oscar Peterson. Why? Bill Evan’s once said “you do what you do and hope there’s room for it.” There was room for both of you.❤
It’s seems it was recorded fast. I could be wrong, but it seems to be almost impossible for the band to go that fast. I love this song, favorite 40 years ago. It’s not how the original tempo is. But I could be wrong. If so, I’ve never heard any band play that fast and tight.

The drummer is young Peter Erskine, who joined Weather Report soon after this stage
Since Covid I don't have Maynard's chops but definitely have his hair.
Yeah...the tempo on this is INSANE!
They’re playing this song so much faster than it was recorded on the CD. I don’t know how they keep up!
Practice, practice, practice 🎶
Coke
cocaine
At some concerts he counted it in faster, and at times it sounded like they were scrambling. This is about as fast as it gets and still works IMHO.
Oh we know how....
1St time I heard Maynard I was 14. Didn’t play sax yet. I was so completely blown away that I bought a horn, I’ve. Been playing professionally ever since 53 years. Thank you 🙏 sir. 🎶🎷
This super high and super fast... This guy is a legend !
Step 1: go to setting on the video
Step 2: Hit the speed tab
Step 3: Hit the number 2
Step 4: Enjoy
What the fuck
that really DOES work, nice!
Maynard Ferguson was the Ali of trumpet players!

Total agreement with everything you said

Some who was there.
I know nothing about playing the trumpet, but that's one of the most exciting pieces of music I've ever heard!
It's a definite physical exertion involved

Sick Soprano solo
I had to check my playback speed on this one. That tempo is insane!
Ha! Our high school jazz band played this for our winter concert my senior year... then we went to see Maynard in concert and realized we hadn't even come close LOL a humbling experience.
Geez, at least they cleaned the powder from their noses. This is nuts.
it Is nutsz, and unmusical and they WERE huge cokeheads, saw this sort of thing live up once. Ick. He could and did better.

To see this done in person was just that, NUTS!
HE always will be the greatest!!!!
how has no one seen this? tight bass and drums
R.I.P. Mike Migliore Oct. 16, 1954-May 13, 2019
OMG I hadn't heard this. What a beast player! Dang!
He shredded that sax
They were clean right? I sent to my friends to wake them up today! Wake up Rise and Shine!
No words will come out......
what an insane tempo! It's fast to begin with but this is light-speed!!!
Absolutely amazing!!!!!
Oh... I heard. Both are top shelf. This tune could easily get out of control but the rhythm section held it solid even though they both are moving at blinding speed. Great stuff.
A huge sound made by some of the most music genius!! I love them!!
Maybe the best balls out horn tune I ever heard.
I believe this is in between 250-270 BPM
Holy crap! had to check the playback speed..its ok!? How have I never seen or heard this before!!
Charles Cavanagh Same here man....I am floored...the energy and chops in this performance are insane!
Clearly, this band is on speed. Wow!!!
Thats awesome
...shivers...
MrOve you have good taste. Maynard was on fire!!!
love the song
I never cared for the faster renditions of Give it one.
I half agree. They are fun tho
0:36 - 0:41 just incredible...
It is so funny that Maynard always had a mic in front of him, but it was never on. If you ever heard him live, he didn't need no stinkin' microphone. I saw him several times at a dinner theater where every seat was within about 50 feet of his bell. Deafening sound. That poor micro[hone. :) ( I guess he played flugelhorn rarely, and could have used the mic then.)
haha wow, his performance in Germany was even faster than this!!! I love the solo at 1:17, this is a great song!!!
I like it but it lacks energy. Maybe a faster tempo would help.
Heard him live at in early '72. They didn't play it near;y so fast then.
LOL I cannot believe how fast they took this. Must have been afraid they were gonna miss their flight.
Needs a faster tempo...thats hilarious! Sarcasm at its best!
@@raymondwatson9794 ;-)
🤣
Insane
crazy!god sounds! omg!
Angel Gabriel is right there with them. Amazing.
Time for "Wheel Of Fortune"!
Exceptional “
I timed it. 4/4 with each measure taking 0.89 seconds... they are playing at *270* BPM, except for the bridge.
Gotta Go Fast!
Гении!! Привет от трубача!!! Четвертая октава мое
Woohooo! Great! :)
WOW
Cocaines a hell of a drug
I'm Rick James, bitch
LSD actually
Heavy Brass Metal!!
💜
check's to see if the video speed is turned up to the max...
If you put it on 0.75x speed its the same tempo as the album version
As amazing a player as Wayne is, he is a technician, when Maynard was more or less primal on his approach to playing. It was about pure energy, sound, and less about technical facility, as in the 1950’s
Dennis Noday!!!
CRAP...I've got to play this...and I'm not even a high schooler... .___. Where do I start...??
SwiftySlasher cocaine
Ludicrous speed...ENGAGED.
What is the time signature
It's in 4/4, it's just blazing fast.
It fluctuates from 12/8 to 6/8
giggles berries Sorry, this is straight 4/4. 6/8 is 3/4, which is a waltz. And this ain't no waltz.
I’ve played this chart. Straight 4/4 with some tricky accents.
Sax player here and ya, ya, dat s.sax solo and all, but you gotta fucking give it up for mr. Peter Erskine on drums. Dude worked overtime on this song!
Was Mike Migliore the son of Jay Migliori who played Bari, flute, clarinet and bass clarinet on The Beach Boys masterpiece Pet Sounds ?
Seriously,Can anyone tell me what made Peter Erskine change his style of playing? I mean... what the hell happened?
+Patrick Smith He changed, just like when he left Maynard to join Weather Report. But he definitely moves here.
+Mike GILBERT (There's a huge difference in playing that I'm trying to reconcile. Great drummer but his style changed considerably....)
Holy shit this is smoking way over the marked tempo. I love it! Cocaine is a hell of a drug
it almost gets away from em
I think someone turned on the FF when making this. I never knew him to speed these songs up this fast.
Nope. They played it this tempo back then...go check out the live in Munich version and the comment from the Maynard alumni on it.
Peter Erskine on this one reminds me of Animal from The Muppets on the drums. 😁
Nice soprano sax solo.
(Checks Playback Speed on RUclips). Never mind, I thought this was on 2x.
it was on "Fuck Yea" speed
It's more musical at 0.75X speed - try it.
Holy shi
This recording is not fair to regular humans.
Holy Shitballs

So rapid:)
Lmao it’s so fast you can hear the trumpet section just keeping up in some areas
who's the sax player???
Daniel Dempster Mike Migliori on soprano
I can't imagine how sore the drummers arms must've been after that!
Peter Erskine...likely not tired
The drummer is Peter Erskine, i'm sure that wasnt a problem for him.
Writen by Alan Downey - posting for clarifiction
Why are they playing it at like 3x tempo
It’s seems it was recorded fast. I could be wrong, but it seems to be almost impossible for the band to go that fast. I love this song, favorite 40 years ago. It’s not how the original tempo is. But I could be wrong. If so, I’ve never heard any band play that fast and tight.
The green room is entirely white.
I wonder if anyone ever regrets getting front row seats. That's gotta hurt just a little.
That drummer though. WTF 😲
Wheel of fortune pilot theme
Smokin Hot… looks like Peter Erskine..?
Too fast.. attacks are all over the place but wow, it's fun. :D
Not artificially
SO FAAASSSSTTTTTT!!!!!!
おじぎは日本人しかしないイメージだったけど、やる人はやるんだなぁ
Way too fast! It's like the playback speed on YT at 1.75.
HHHHOT.
That's so fast it's painful!
A tad too fast tempo-wise.
はや笑
Too slow ;)
I like the mf 2 version better
Buy a trumpet
