One of my fave solos ever from the left hand master - Buddy Rich...superb

[@robgrune3284]

such a tragic pity the recording tech was so primitive back then. we are hearing perhaps 25% of the fidelity. this music, these musicians were the greatest. will we ever hear again? very doubtful. today's musicians have technique but not the soul. very grateful thanks to the person who posted this. I was born in the wrong era.

My pleasure. Enjoy!

Great to see this in much better quality than in the past. Presumably canned audience sounds were meant to be added later from selection 3 onwards? It was a great band driven by that wonderful man at his Rogers Holiday drum kit.

Buddy loved those mid-sixties Rogers with the wood Dyna...we talked about them many times, I brought my Dyna for him to play on two tours in the states...I put a stick chopper rim on the top and he just smiled.
