I remember that chart and that concert very well. It's funny for me to watch that now . I was 19 then and am now 65.. Wish I still had that Gibson 175. That guitar went to hell and back and always played perfectly
Great! This is the 1973 BR Band you were playing along with: TPTs(L-R): Greg Hopkins, Charlie Davis(L), Larry Hall, John Hoffman BONEs(L-R): Keith O'Quinn, Alan Kaplan, John Leys(b) SAXES(L-R): Pat LaBarbera, Bob Martin, Joe Romano(L), Bob Crea, John Laws(Oslawski)/B P: Buddy Budson B: Ron Paley G: Jimmy Bruno BR BAND 1973 EUROPE TOUR - Ronnie Scott’s, Dorchester Hotel/London, Mike Parkinson Show etc (Nov.1973)
I remember when this show was first broadcast on BBC2 in England. It was called "LIVE AT THE DORCHESTER" (as in The Dorchester Hotel, London.) It was actually broadcast in colour originally!
Great stuff!!!...not surprised Jimmy was a monster at 19!!!...really looks like Badfinger drummer Mike Gibbons @ approx. 42 secs. in!...it's in London!!!
Man, what a hard gig. Did you see the look that buddy gave Jimmy? I wonder what was said after that show about " clams"? Jimmy Bruno is sooo talented and one of my all time favourite guitarist.
Hey Maxx good thing Leys is /was your teacher. He's a very good guy. I've counted him as a friend for over twenty years. Hopefully I will be able to get some video eventually that has both John and I playing in big bands. We wind up playing in the same groups fairly often these days. I just have to get someone to watch the camera. John's wife Beverly would be perfect to watch the gear.
We're planning to. There's other clips from the this concert in my collection. Check out: "Double Time (+ bonus footage of Buddy Rich)" and "Backwoods Sideman" as well.
notice how the base player comes in to early, Buddy is not to happy..follow the leader at all times..love this video..the crowed are a bit quite on the night but a nice gig none the less..Thats Buddys famous " i hate Donny Osmond" badge hes waring on his jacket.got him in trouble now and again.
did anyone notice "ernie wise" sitting amonst the audience? he was the famous british other half of comic duo "morecanum and wise" (spelt the name wrong!)...sorry!!
Stevebul, you just implied that guitars are almost only good for rock, which is like implying that saxophones can only be used in jazz, which is very wrong, especially because Jimmy Bruno is one of the greatest straight ahead jazz musicians to ever live and in my opinion, can out play many horn players so saying that the reason why Buddy used Jimmy because rock was popular at the time is very incorrect; I'm sure Buddy used Jimmy because of his ability to play well over his instrumentation.
just to piggyback the comment you're making I've watched several interviews where buddy is asked about instruments he likes and I've heard him say at least three to four times that the guitar is his favorite instrument so you know he would try to incorporate guitar in his music where he could and definitely appreciated what Mr Bruno was bringing to this this particular tune and it really reminds me of The Blues Brothers version of Sweet Home Chicago where Steve Kropper and Duck Dunn (bassist) I believe did a awesome solo that was similar to Bruno's solo here and this was incredible now if Bruno was able to put a tiny bit of distortion on that guitar it would have had all the rock guys filling their drool cups but I appreciate the clean tone and the pure Artistry of his technique as it is but it would have still sounded cool with just a teeny bit of distortion and that kind of ballsy tone fits well with horn sections anyways for example one of my all time favorites Terry Kath and Chicago's first two albums and incidentally was one of Buddy's favorite bands in the 70s and also one of Buddy's favorite young drummers Danny Seraphine so Buddy once again proved here he had a great eclectic repitoire in his performances but most true Rich fans know this...

Even at 19 you were an amazing musician Jimmy
Guitar player+ Bass player= great interplay

love Jimmy playing gritty!

The bass trombonist(John Leys) is now my trumpet and trombone teacher.
James Bruno's guitar solo is surely a standout tour-de-force, with slightly psychedelic influences... well, it was 1974!
Jimmy is BAD ASS on this tune! I love it!
Great stuff!!!...not surprised Jimmy was a monster at 19!!!...really looks like Badfinger drummer Mike Gibbons @ approx. 42 secs. in!...it's in London!!!
Greg Hopkins is the Bomb.
I just spent a week learning more about jazz from him and playing his epic arrangement of Sing Sing Sing.
Man, what a hard gig. Did you see the look that buddy gave Jimmy? I wonder what was said after that show about " clams"?

Love this

The second of the trombone soloists is Keith O'Quinn, who also played with Maynard.
Great video-Did any UK viewers notice comedian Ernie Wise sitting in the audience (that's him in the thumbnail)
It's me! Thanks for the kind comment.
Did, the crowd wet their pants or just got their homones and nads movin; w/ This Tune, Hittin em In The Face ....-Thanks- to Buddy R. Live

Bass player lucky Buddy didn't stop the whole thing and start over. Buddy wouldn't really do that would he? ;)
No kidding?! Huh! I always thought the tape was a little grainy - probably a copy of a copy. I got the tape from Ray Anthony. He got it as an import.
cool
way cool
Yeah, Buddy started to count it off and they started already. Buddy makes some jokes about the badge later on. We'll be posting it.

Oops-just saw the earlier comment about Ernie Wise.
A beautiful song. What was the audience listening to?
His Donny Osmond phase.

It seems like the audiamce does not know what they're looking at or what to do. They did not clap after the solos and they seem a little confused.
not bad. ...not bad at all.
its the old british stiff upper lip!
Holy shit, never heard buddy play a 2/4...
Jesus Christ was this some republican fundraiser....?????
