SMOKIN'!!!

Buddy was never really a groove player. This is a good example of that "boogaloo" type of pseudo funky stuff that you'd hear on 1970's TV themes -- which is cool in a way, but hardly hardcore "funk." Keep in mind, when this was recorded, guys like Harvey Mason, and Billy Cobham , Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd Dennis Chambers were making their mark and establishing a new style of playing that Buddy never really grasped. Having said that, he is playing his ass off here -- just in HIS way.

Menza needs to SHUT UP and let the other guy talk. He interupts him every time he tries to talk, like he's not even there.

if you read the wikipedia of Buddy Rich, he was on stage at 18 months. Her performed at age 4 to acclaim. He was a child star. He led a touring band in his teens. So he was showbiz his entire life.

As long as you could play like Don then Buddy was sure to treat you right.

Wow. This could be my new reference clip of his.

Do you have the whole Parkinson show with buddy rich interview...if so would love to see it !!

The way he takes the singles to the doubles & closes the rolls is sooo freaking musical . 😎 ❤

“ He never once handcuffed me “ . 🆒

Great stuff . There is a lot of bllsht out there about what a bad guy Buddy was . My research indicates the truth is more complex & important . “ He told the truth “ . Thx .

Is there a link to the whole concert?

For us, Polish jazz lovers, it was a complete sensation to have him in Warsaw at that time

Incomparable.

Holy crap! Bud at level 20 plus!

This wasn't 1965. It was 1967. Chuck Findlay and Bobby Shew were not in Buddy's band in 1965.

They are both #1 in my book.

It’s rumored that his left hand is still moving.

Good to hear someone bigging up Buddy Rich. Most people put him down as a result of his abrasive personality.

You can find the studio recording that he references here on YT. It is unmixed and sounds a little rough. Menza's solo is short....much shorter than the live date.

We were all blessed to be alive when Buddy was and to hear him play, and play , and play...Thank You Don

The late, great Bob Kaye on the piano, and composer of this chart, "Grand Concourse."

Buddy rich is water down jazz drummer...

Beyond belief. He did one thing better than everyone else in the world.

Probably my favorite drum solo by him. So different. This isn't the entire video.

The way I see it’s is Gene played music and Buddy played the drums, two different approaches.

Insane …. The Greatest.

Clams…! 😂

I feel sorry for the guys with beards….😢

If anything this is jazz fusion… not funk

Incredible

He goes over,under. He could do whatever he wanted on Drums. Still my favorite of all time!!!

His index finger is moving slightly but his wrist is stationary pretty much throughout. I’ve only seen Buddy play the left handed roll this way

He ALWAYS made the crowd go wild.

The octopus of drumming the way he plays his solos it always looks like his two hands on the high hat and snare and 6 more arms come out of his back and play the rest of his drum kit . A true legend

Still played great at 61.

That’s why he’s the best. Anyone know which LUDWIG snare he’s using here..?

Only Buddy's playing could throw a VHS tape out of tracking 👍👍

DRUM GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is inhuman

Song name? Please 😁

This is the first time I have seen Buddy play in a "funky groove". There have been people in my past tell me "Yeah Buddy Rich is a great jazz drummer but he can't play funk". Now I know that is a falsehood.

Unbelievable. Buddy passed away shortly that year.

Beautiful.

Final 1978...es groovt 🎈

He is the father of modern jazz, that is understatement because failed jazz drummers usually become rock bands.

Buddy was the best

I saw Buddy's band from a front table at the smallish Club Laurel in 1968. Buddy even said, "This is the first time I've played ina sewer..." It was a stage that I had played drums on many times. Menza BURNED his solos all night. Fantastic solos. At the end of the night, Buddy dressed you down in front of the audience for playing too many "birdies," and he told you "You're better than that." I remember how hurt you looked. But seeing this interview all these years later changes my perception of that night. He recognized your off-the-charts ability. BTW, Buddy had a good night behind the Slingerland kit (with Rogers Swiv-O-Matic pedal). You, Sir, had a GREAT night.

Actual god

I sold that snare!!!!!!!!! Aghhhhhhhhhh

NEIL PERT SHAMPOO IS A FUCKING JOKE COMPARED TO BUDDY
