James Last puts his own signature to the country classic, Orange Blossom Special. It's a favourite at all his concerts and the night would not be complete without it!
@@plunkervillerr1529 I agree with you, I think Billy Vaughn's 1961 arrangement and execution was better. I like Vaughn's inclusion of guitar solo's as opposed to Last's brass section even though I play the trumpet. And why the silly horse whinnies in a railroad song about a train that ran from NYC to Miami? Imitation of train whistle, you betcha. A horse whiny? Might as well include pig oinks to go with it.
Looky yonder comin....comin down that railroad track....it's the Orange Blossom Special briningin my baby back. I used to play this in bands on the fiddle. If you bump up the speed to 1.25 that's the speed I usd to play this at. A show stopper for sure.

James Last and his Orchestra was one of my father's favourite. Our DVD of one his concert got worn out because he would always watch it a year before my father passed. It is just today that I have a video of James Last because it would remind me of my father. Rest is peace and danke Hansi and my father.
Where have the Great Orchestras of yesteryears gone. Iam 67, I feel sad. Thank God their music is still alive . Reminds me of my school days, great memories!
I travelled from the UK to Zwickau in Germany some years ago to work on one of James's shows just like this. I had an absolutely fantastic time, and was amazed to see so many coaches from the UK filled with people who had come to Germany specifically to see James and his team in Concert. His sad passing was a great loss to the world of live entertainment. He was a true Gentleman of Music. R.I.P James.
Thanks Paul! I travelled to Cologne to see the last James Last concert ever. The live concerts were always great and I still miss them. We always enjoyed every moment. Even the sound checks when free wine was passed round to everyone there. I’ve never seen that happen anywhere else. James Last was a very generous guy and really looked after his fans.
Ein dickes Danke schön ! Für diesen Mann, sein Genie, seine Band, seine Musik ! Ach verdammt, dafür, daß es ihn gegeben hat. In seiner Musik lebt er weiter. 🤗❤️🥰
Ow woow I love this so much. Im from 1971 so when my parents had a party, this kind of music was played and we all loved it!! Annd my parents partied a lot!! So glad I got to know Mr James Last and his Orchestra. He left a truly great ensemble and reaches milions with his great work. My 12 year old son loves this one as well, just as he lovees Biscaya too. Im proud to be the middleman in passing through our good taste in music.
Alistair Edwards thank you Alistair. Yes James Last music was and still is eclectic and covers so many genres it’s hard to categorise- except it’s James Last!
Nobody is better than JAMES LAST ........ he was, he is and he will be FOREVER the King of Sound and Party. Danke Hänschen für all die SUPERTOLLEN STUNDEN mit Deiner Musik und Deinem Sound!!! PS: Wenn man die Musiker/innen auf der Bühne sieht, dann erlebt man PUREN SPAß mit ihnen. Wenn man den Holländer mit seiner Truppe sieht ............ dann .......... weiß man erst´, was die James Last Band/Truppe ausmacht. AUTHENTIZITÄT und PURE FREUDE AN DER MUSIK!
What's REALLY amazing is how the performers hardly change .... from as early as 2000 to when they finally disbanded after Last's demise. No one stays in an ensemble that long unless they really love being there.
Nothing sweeter than 14 violins playing this song all in harmony. Would like to hear this song James Last - Orange Blossom Special James Last - Orange Blossom Special with the violins
If this song ends and you don't have a smile across your face.....😲.....then listen AGAIN and just enjoy the song, the happiness, and the FANTASTIC way music can chase away worries, stress, loneliness, you name it. Learn to let music take OVER! 🙂🙂
go 'ed there HANSI! you taught us how to party and enjoy music at last. anyone my age will only remember things like the BBC Orchestra sitting stiff in suits and ties..then this appeared. R.I.P. the one and only..HANSI JAMES LAST
Un concert extraordinar & de excepție cu un MARE_ maestru & DIRIJOR_ cu orchestra SUPER _ merita toate aplauzele, admiratia si aprecierea speciala ptr.interpretare cu totul deosebită_ cu drag felicitari_
This made my day! Listening to James Last's music brings me back to my youth when my Dad religiously played his music 7 days a week, too loud the neighbors thought it's always Cinco de Mayo fiesta whole year round LOL...way to go James! Hope u get to live longer to pass on your music to the new generation!
Just discovered James Last a few months back and what a treat. Looks like the musicians are having as much fun as the audience. What a great rendition of a great song.
No Sequencer, just real music - live. What great musicians! What joy! Trombones, trumpets, strings, drummer..all on the point. They all enjoyed making music and the life at it's time. James Last at it's best
That groove - The phrasing of the violins. It's a masterpiece and should be shown to anyone who studies music. And to top it all off, the trumpeters hold their beer in their left hand and walk through the audience. I wish this time back. Carefree and full of joy for life🙂
i agree. we used to call james HANSI...i defy anyone not to tap their feet at this. and Andre is magical music that i could listen to for rest of my life espescially his Struass stuff.
Absolutely beautiful crazy happy music. Has there ever been a better melody for trumpets and violins? I don't know any. To me, this Orange Blossom Special from James Last will always be the best. A real masterpiece!
I've not heard this composition of "Orange Blossom Special" before, but I must say that is going to be one of, if not the, best rendition I've ever heard! Love it, love, love it!
Saw this live at the Royal Albert Hall in London back in the 1970s, this is by far still my favourite version of OBS ever ! RIP James, you've left us so many happy memories with your arrangements.
magical,magical,magical!! im 35 and most people i know wouldnt have a clue who James Last is,thank god ive been listening to his albums since i was six.This is music at its best,all that talent in one place. wish i had been there!
Whenever I feel bad and blue I listen to this James Last version, I am back in life immediately and than pray for James Last’s soul, this is the best version ever ❤
When a large steam engines boiler was operating at top potential it made a harmonic resonance through it’s firebox air intake over coal grates. Known as “ drumming “ it was an unmistakable sound of raw power. This tune sounds like the old girl when she’s pulling her train in top form.
Yeehaw !!! Back to the good old days . When people were much Happier and life styles were full of Love !!! Now a days it's about Money - Money - greed - hate- rights - themselves - Pure Evil & So much more !!!

Dear God.....I do LOVE the Orange Blossom Special. This is THE best rendition of it I have EVER heard!!!
Combo of bluegrass, Western swing .it's great
Billy Vaughn`s was better 1960 .

It makes sense that a civilization should teach with music, love with music, heal with music, have fun with music and sing to save our lives.
Every time I turn on my pc, I MUST hear THIS recording of Orange Blossom Special! There are many others, but NONE like James Last!!!
Thank you! And yes, it was so popular, it always featured in every live show until Hansi passed away in 2015.
This rendition of the “Orange Blossom Special” is the best! It doesn’t get any better than this!
Thanks!
The Miami Beach version is. . . . 😊 Mmm, just saying.
That is correct George!

No one can put on a good show like James Last does.. He spotlights not just his band but the audience as well. At 81 he still rocks.

James is saying - "OK kids, you got this, I'll just dance around and
enjoy myself." Truly one of the greatest bandleaders of all time.

Once again I am blue due to naughty politicians of my country and horrible elections, Father James gave me strength, God Bless His Soul ❤️❤️
Had never seen such Happy Orchestra!!!

What is better than THIS !!! Unbelievable, wish I had been there. Great Stuff !!
Beautiful music James AND everyone that played MAY GOD WELCOME YOU HOME I KNOW HE HAS YOU UP THERE PLAYING JUST LOVE THIS SONG

He was fantastic absolutely most enjoyable I had the pleasure of being at 3 concerts ohhhh and he and his team never disappointed may he rest in peace
One of life's regrets is that I only ever got to one live James Last concert....... Edinburgh a long time ago and it was absolutely amazing
John Wallace yes - it is almost like a secret that those concerts were just amazing. I went to loads and met Hansi and band a lot. I miss those days.
James Last and his troupe makes it a fun event.
Loved it
It's amazing how James Last and his musicians have fun in performing such beautiful music. I saw him in the eighties in Ghent!
A tune from 1938 made famous by Johnny Cash’ 1965 rendition.
The horns make it rock! Love this
Yeehaw !!! Back to the good old days . When people were much
Happier and life styles were full of Love !!! Now a days it's about Money - Money - greed - hate- rights - themselves - Pure Evil &
So much more !!!
