One of the few channels where I am glued for the duration. When tv was entertaining and not insulting.
That drumming at the end was super warp drive! Just amazing...
Holy motherlode Batman!! I've been enjoying a bunch of the Buddy clips you've posted.. THANKS!!!! It's sad that Carson productions keeps all of these under lock and key, too expensive for anyone to put out there. Thank God someone was out there recording!
Thank you for this! Loved every minute of it, even the commercials (isn't it funny how we hate watching commercials in present time but the old ones are fun to watch). You know what else is funny - I'm not a smoker, never been a smoker, dislike second-hand smoke and everything, but for some odd reason I like these old shows where everyone was smoking. I guess it's probably just a nostalgic thing of how things were when I was a little kid haha. Thanks again for this and the other BR clips!
Unbelievable...broken finger and no floor tom (thanks to JC), and still continues his solo. The master at work. GOAT!!!
This is some of the most outstanding drumming I have seen from Buddy. Lightening fast and precise, esp after the floor tom antics.
What song 🎵 is this please ????
Sure was pissed and beat the hell of them... as he sayd... they can’t hit back
It's great to see stuff like this that I missed the first time around, when I was a kid it was always really cool when Buddy was on tv. Best wishes for your health and everything else.
Excellent post, thank you so much
This episode was taped a couple of days after I was born. I was always a huge fan of Buddy Rich and got a chance to talk with Cathy Rich on Facebook.
As usual....Outstanding!!!
Buddy ,was a hell of a rock drummer also .Looking back to His solo's ,even in late 40's .He was Killin it . All, the rock guys Bowed to Him in the late 60's and 70's .Before they were teens...Yes, He was a consumate Big band Jazz Musician .He plowed the road ... Seen Him Live -The Power and dexterity ,plus innate creativity in a capsule of Musicianship. Not many Drummers even now have it...
Johnny was playing with fire there. You never knew when buddy would snap.
AMAZING video! Buddy Rich was SO incredible!!! Got to see him in performance and man, what a showman!!! And in the video, so funny that he kissed Cathy and she pushed him away and wiped her mouth instantly!! Hahaha!!
i love Buddy man
Caught some smokin break music in this video. Is that doc? I remember seeing this episode when I was a kid coming home from a gig one night and turned this on. I love Johnny and Buddy together so much, and miss them both, Real entertainment! And after all these years it’s nice to know how Kathy has honored her dad with the tributes. Just wonderful stuff
Well it's very evident from this film clip that Buddy has got a great sense of humor.
Yes. And I love how he took the Slingerland sticker from his forehead without missing a beat!
Most jazzmen did have a great sense of humor
Read "Jazz Anecdotes" by Bill Crow
....theres a whole chapter devoted to Buddy
Haha the look he had when the cymbal fell. He was like WTF
Buddy could easily run every tune with bass drum, hi-hat and a snare drum.
His hi-hat work blows everybody's doors off.
Buddy Rich's daughter, Wow what a babe😍👌
Greatest of all time....and nice rug Buddy.
His fill work in Incredible
Great Carson clip of Buddy and Cathy. Buddy really was proud of his daughter.
I've never seen him tear up like that before.
Thank you VERY much Drumuitar for this and all of the BR appearances on Carson that you have been posting of late, sincerely. This one in particular holds a special place IMO because the interview clearly reveals, contrary to popular opinion, that Buddy was a deeply sensitive man. (Of course those of us who know and love Buddy have always been aware there is no way you can play music they way he did without incredible depth of feeling. But not so the general public I suspect.) From Buddy's reaction when Cathy is talking about him, I don't think she was kidding about him crying frequently at TV shows, because he would sympathize or empathize with characters... including Lassie!!
O.O.A.K he was indeed. One of a Kind. Very, very special.
cloudview787 I thank you as well for all the great BR videos you post!
Trust me, it has been my great pleasure. The least I could do for Buddy, to help ensure his video legacy, considering how much he meant to me in my musical life starting when I was just a teenager in the 70s. I had only been into rock, but my father kept bugging me to listen to his Buddy Rich albums. When I finally took his advice and listened to the Blues Caravan album, followed by Swingin' New Big Band, I was instantly hooked for life! Turned my drumming life upside down. And here I am all these decades later appreciating him every bit as much.
Drumuitar BR the world’s greatest
I saw him at the tonight show once. Wow
@@stevesmith9221 I love your work with Journey, though I like Aynsley.😉😉
I remember watching this when it was originally broadcast. I'd just turned 13 and Buddy was a God to me . . . . still is
I'm surprised all the cymbals didn't give away on him as the left crash did.
Kathy's Beautiful . . . .The Apple of Her Father's Eye! Amazing Drummer!
Cathy.
Cathy not Kathy ‘
Cathy is still a class act, does a fantastic job keeping her father's legacy alive
Cathy and “class” aren’t two words I’d normally put together.
@@thecrippledrummer no kidding? You’ve met her?
@@vgr112261 yes. I know her.
We don't need her to keep anything alive. We have Buddy's recordings to keep his legacy alive. Her husband Potter is not a Big Band drummer, and having a bunch of guys play through Buddy's charts is not a legacy, it's a travesty. There is NO Buddy Rich Band without Buddy Rich. And her being a class act is a joke. Actually, I've dealt with her a few times, and she was quite the bitch.
@@bigswingface5847 bingo. It’s all a money grab for her.
Buddy Rich, is unrivaled as a drummer to this fay. He was a madman, an innovator, in procession
Geez, playing with a bad finger really cramped his style. Yeah, right.
Lmao.. those commercials
That's when the products were still manufactured in America
Buddy!...........Never again will we see the like of the Drum Master.! Of course, I could play as well if only I had his left hand...........and right hand, right foot, brain, and musicality. RIP
League of his own
Buddy was the best period.
Johnny was always a class act. Cathy is a doll as always, she sings well.
Too bad his grandson turned into a crappy drummer.
Carroll Shelby Disgrace would be the word!!
Buddy could make a SEARS drumset sound stellar...
Buddy, what a beautiful daughter!
Did anybody else here Buddy Rich say "What The F___", when the floor tom head caved in?
In my mind, Buddy will always be The King!
Cathy is amazing , wish she'd play in Europe, she's a class act
HEY! WE ALL LOVE BUDDY RICH FOR VARIOUS REASONS ONE OF MINE OF LATE IS THAT HE NEVER BOWED DOWN TO GUITAR PLAYER LIKE MOST DRUMMERS HAVE TO ACCOMPANY THEIR IDEAS KATHY IS A GOOD PERSON KNOWS ALOT OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS SHE GREW-UP TO BE A GREAT MOM OF ERIC BUDDYS ONLY KID MAYBE HE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BUDDY AND HE WILL GET THAT RYTHM DNA LOL.
Reminds me of the Sabian Quiet Tone Practice pad.
Taped 5 Sep '73
Cymbal tilter also crapped out in the middle of his solo. No wonder he stuck to Ludwig and Slingerland.
Does anybody remember the show when after Buddy was playing with Doc Severinsen and the N.B.C. Orchestra he took the mouthpiece out of Doc’s trumpet and walked back to the couch and blew it like a kazoo? I hope you can find that and post it!
Not sure I have that episode. I’ll have to check
Buddy did a plug there for the Henry Adler QuietTone Drum Mute, Henry’s proud invention. I studied with Henry at his W. 48th St. studio in the early 80s. He and Buddy were very close friends for many years, from the very beginning of Buddy’s career at the Hickory House I believe, old Brooklyn guys.
Honestly that wasn’t a very good plug, he didn’t really give the name of the product or state that it was available at your local drum store or whatever. But considering he never plugged products, that was amazing, rare. I bet Henry was ecstatic
I took guitar lessons on w48/7av early 80s.
Man those Pearl drums sounded like garbage. I'm amazed at how far they've come in their development of sound. But then again, they have been going after the Gretsch sound now for 30 years or so.
And then the cymbal stand by the hi hat fails. GEEZZZ... Bet they didn't plan that.
highly recommended, love mine....
How about Ed Shaugnessy´s great drumming on the opening theme!
It was nice to hear the band get to blow for a while with Ed diggin' in.
Wow Buddy drumming is amazing but OMG HIS DAUGHTER WAS BAD !!!!! Really lol funny !!!
Actually I’ve heard worse - she was as good as a lot of pop singers from the 70s. At least it was real & not lip-synced
Bob Sebring ouch - so wait… I’m getting the feeling you don’t like her singing… Just a wild guess…
Have to agree
Cathy's son is worse at drumming than she is singing.
He doesnt drum anymore. He's a drug counselor
Does anybody know how many times Buddy Rich appeared on Carson's show?
Yes.
Big Swing Face
But they still didn’t work out , he only used one rack tom..😖
122
Johnny met Buddy at the Chez in '66. Had him on the show everytime he was in LA for 20 years. I'm guessing.
I want to know who was responsible for not tightening down that crash cymbal properly.
The same person who put the fake head on the floor tom
Another prank was a shinny ceramic cymbal that exploded when he hit it.
That had to have been Ernie Watts blowing tenor with the Tonight Show band.
And imagine what Buddy would say about her singing if she were not his daughter.
I don’t think he would be very kind.
Charles Winokoor You wouldn’t want to hear it. Look what he said about Dusty Springfield
what is that thing on Buddy's head?
Amazing! What's the song name at the end of the video?
What a disaster! Poor Buddy! He looked pissed and I don't blame him. If that was a stunt, it failed. Who wants to have their act sabotaged like that! And you as the audience feel cheated. We want to see Buddy play.
Nice rug
9/9/73 was my second birthday
47 years ago today
Don't foget Buddy, but what about that intro?
Ed laying it down, and Doc.
Really awkward last few moment of this. whoo. all the way around.
Buddy was in on the joke, as he didn’t hit the floor tom, until the right time 😃
Where did Cathy get her good looks from....
Does anyone have the fake cymbal joke or does anyone remember that episode
What song is this please ???????
Can't read the logo on the bass drum
Prank at 23:12.
What happened to the left channel?
21:07
When TV used to nice.
Seems Vegas series soundtrack.
What’s the name of the song please ???
What song is this please ??
Why did he not like the Liberty Record Label?
He was referring to RCA, which his album “Stick It” was on in ‘72. It was (in my opinion) possibly his worst album. They forced him to play poppy stuff that he never would’ve voluntarily played, and the sound quality of the recording was very lackluster.
@Drummer J.L.H. RCA Dynaflex records like A Different Drummer were supposed to stop warping with a thinner pressing that warped like hell.
@@thecrippledrummer the vinyl was warp proof but bass line was thinner than water
Daughter, "Most people don't think he's a nice guy" , speaking of her Dad Buddy Rich..... And the reason she said that is because he was a pretty rotten person at times but isn't it the drums we are here for anyway?. Buddy was kind of like Johnny Carson on a bad drunk.
@GKacedrummerman 🥁 Thanks.
Bop on, fella!
Too bad all of the sound is coming out of the right channel....
He’s been playing for many years and now one of the drums is there but he can’t hit it. I don’t know how he could continue and not once go to tap it from reflex playing with it thousands of times
He goes to kiss Cathy and it looks like she wiped his kiss from her like stop it ! I don't know, I guess when I was 19 I didn't want my Mom kissing me in front of my friends. That age of independence. Kind of like "Ok mom you can drop me off here" But your school is a block away, Yeah I know.
Uhhhh.. . . ok.
Now, she was easy to the eye, but she can't sing for life. So, though I share most of Rich's criticism toward most of the pop music scene,his credibility goes right down the drain after he praises this crappy song and his daughter's performance. Other great musicians, confronted with their children lack of talent, were rather firm in preventing them from making a fool of themselves and their parent. BR was not the best of parents in this regard.
After Buddy plays , walks back to his seat but kisses Kath on the lips , and she wipes her mouth off quick what's that about .
I got the impression he kissed her on the forehead, but she wiped her lips as some kind of inside joke maybe.
She was at that age where you didn't want your Mom or Dad being proud and treating you like you were 10 years old. I'm sure she wouldn't think like that now. But when you get the age of 19 or 20 you want to finally get treated like an adult. Not like the 10 year old she used to be. in a nut shell. But totally noticed that too.
Probably wiped her lips because of her father’s sweat on them!!!
Talk about nepotism! Rich's daughter is amateurish at best, no projection, as she couldn't compete with the band, and she lacks the kind of personality needed for a show like Carson's. Johnny could've given someone else a shot at having a spot on his show.
You didn't make it in the business bank then by not helping out your friends.. buddy was a good friend of Johnny they knew each other for a long time so giving his daughter a shot on his show was the right thing to do..
The "ride" cymbal was more of a crash cymbal that was out of control and the crash to his left tilted all the way and got stuck and add to that the floor tom yet he just played like nobodies business. Typical Buddy. I love these drummers that have to bring their own foot pedal, own cymbals, own snare and set up everything to within a fraction of an inch to their perfection and then they can't play worth a shit.
yeah she needs a karaoke machine and she will be right at home.
he threw a stick at the other drummer ? Buddy was a great drummer, but also a very rude man.
He probably thought Ed Shaughnessy pulled the stunt. But yeah, Buddy had a temper.
They were just playing around. Buddy was pretending to be more angry than he really was. The thrown drumstick went way over Ed Shaughnessy's head.
His kid never was a good singer. Even today, mediocre at best.
Not even mediocre. Lol
Big Swing Face yep
Did she have aspirations to be a professional singer?
What song is this ?????
What song is this please ?????
