Buddy was cold blooded with this one! people don't realize how heavy this kind of music was,...... this is way out there!.... You just get it,..... or you don't.... Buddy Miles was only 19 or 20 years old when he was doing this,.... just think about it, how amazing for a 19/ 20-year-old kid to be driving his band like a seasoned pro!....... Buddy Miles an amazing underrated genius RIP buddy.
What I never understood is how so many people are convinced that Buddy was an awful drummer, and that's why his career with Hendrix was cut short. Definitely not the case. Just listen to how rock solid his timing is while singing and how he throws those pretty speedy rolls and fills without missing a beat. While I like Mitch and what he did with the Experience, I thought Buddy was the better drummer overall.
Jimi loved Buddy or he would not have worked with him on so many recordings. Mitch was part of the MACHINE that brought Hendrix to the forefront of Rock music and Jimi gave his voice the freedom to grow within his music. Mitch before Jimi didn't play with that wild abandonment on recordings but he had his JAZZ influences that the music of Hendrix released. AND if Mitch sang like Buddy, HE would have played like a cement mixer 😂😂
@@dmoore0079 awfull is a little bit exagerated and unfair ....he had the power but not the techniques to follow Jimi when he went to the sky .....I think Jackde jonnette had both sides for a more jazzy/funky experimental hendrix
An Offhand remark overheard, "Too much Buddy and Not enough the rest of the Band" (that was aimed at Buddy Rich, another drummer) This Buddy miles deserves recognition for His Singing,(Shout) inCredable energy and drumming. Buddy, was the "Guy,
The bassist is the great (and living) Billy Rich, brother of horn player Herbie Rich who was an original member of The American Flag with Buddy Miles. There were rumors that Billy was supposed to record with Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, but was unavailable. Hendrix wound up working with bassist Billy Cox, with whom he had a musical relationship dating back to their days in the Armed Forces.
if you listen super close at about the 3:20 mark you can barely hear jim mccarty tearin' it up but for some reason the sound guys have it so low you can barely hear it...unless it's just this recording which only came out of my left speaker...
Wish there was a version with good sound quality because Buddy is on fire here. If you haven't properly listened to "expressway to your should" get on it - Hendrix was sitting in the producers chair for it and it was recorded just before Electric Lady land.
For me Buddy was the first Drummer performer because of his singing while playing and as for some of the opinions expressed about him at least he made history with what he did lot more than can be said about others.
Deen Castronovo does it still. Prosoundstudio… what kind of opinions? I remember the first time I heard this song. The moment he opened his mouth I just smiled, and said a profanity. Lol
Wow. There was no one beating the hell out of drums like that at that time. Not even Kieth Moon, in my opinion. He didn't play nasty giant beats like this.
Groovy baby! Dancing was so much more expressive and active back then. Nowadays go watch a bar band, there will be line dancers doing robotic “easy” movements.
@@derneillwashington3091Hayes & Porter were the primary song writers at STAX; like Holland/Dozier/ Holland were at MOTOWN. Of course u knew that. Bands like ZZ TOP doing I THank You & the Fab T-Birds years later were just rock versions of the original SOULS recordings
@@betagemslostmedia607 it’s the part when Devin Miles’ dad mailed him tapes of drummers he knew and the ones he didn’t know. Buddy Miles is one of those tapes
Well we all have our opinions. Personally, iI think Band of Gypsies was the worst album Jimi Hendrix made. That was probably the reason the line up only lasted for one album. Machine Gun by Buddy Miles has my vote as the worst song ever recorded by Jimi Hendrix.
@@Onraitravels Jimi wrote Machine Gun, just fyi. It was a transitional album, he owed Capitol Records one for a bad contract he'd signed before being discovered. Lotta folks love BOG and Jimi wanted to get other musicians involved, esp diff singers. His manager sabotaged the project and others Jimi wanted to do. Personally, I like all Hendrix.
@@victorlay7722 It seems I am in the minority about Machine Gun. I didn’t get that it was a protest song and was considered by many one of Jimi’s finest songs. To be honest, I still don’t like it and have never been a fan distortion and his more experimental work. For me Jimi was sublime on songs like “Little Wing, All Along the Watchtower and other songs where his genius shone.
The Allman Brothers had two drummers. James Brown had two drummers. (With Clyde Stubblefield, no less. It was about groove.) It’s common in jazz, too. Not unusual.

Didnt know he was young. He was very talented musically. He wrote these songs and parts. Was a fine drummer and singe too of course

What a monster on those drums and vocals! Fabulous.
A very young Jim McCarty on guitar 🤘
I really wanted to go to this show but I was only 17 days old and I lived in the Midwest.
I did too, but mom wouldn’t let me. I was 6. 😅

Detroit's Jimmy McCarty on guitar!
RIP Buddy!!

I believe it was the Electric Flag, great info though, thanks!
Late-night at the Playboy club! Ya think Buddy broke any sticks? Great Daze!!
Buddy Miles got soul Buddy was the definitely the most. Trinidad And Tobago has spoken!
Great band, solid performance; too bad you can't hear the guitar solo. Buddy Miles though.... hell yes!!
Buddy miles rules!
BUDDY MILES HAD THE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS WHAT JIMI SAW, AROUND THIS TIME, WHEN HE FIRST MET HIM.
BUDDY WAS A BLACK, SHINING PRINCE.
SURELY.
This was the JAM in 68’…😎😎😎
Yo, Jim McCarty on lead . . . , Detroit Killer!!
Who’s the cat on bass?
Detroit Wheels, Cactus and Rockets guitarist, Jim McCarty playing too.
yeah dig it!
Great.
Just Reading Porcaro: it’s about time.
A Young Porcaro: ”This is the shit”
This guy was just a kid at this time... 20 yrs old I'd say
We had his double album “Live” album.
If anyone ever asks the question “what is hip?” this is what I’d show them...
Speaking of hip, the guy dancing at the beginning probably had both replaced 25yrs after this was filmed.
Hipness is what it is
if you listen super close at about the 3:20 mark you can barely hear jim mccarty tearin' it up but for some reason the sound guys have it so low you can barely hear it...unless it's just this recording which only came out of my left speaker...
The gent in the tuxedo at 4:20 😄
Go Byron go!!! Love Byron's dancing!
Wish there was a version with good sound quality because Buddy is on fire here. If you haven't properly listened to "expressway to your should" get on it - Hendrix was sitting in the producers chair for it and it was recorded just before Electric Lady land.
EXPESSWAY...TO YOUR SKULL!!!!, MAN?! wtf...
Those are some exciting dance moves. LOL.
Wow - Louis Nye getting his groove on LOL
He was Zombo on the Munsters!
For me Buddy was the first Drummer performer because of his singing while playing and as for some of the opinions expressed about him at least he made history with what he did lot more than can be said about others.
Levon Helm with the Band and Poco's George Grantham were also doing that at the time....then Don Henley
@@michaelcarlson7575 Also Karen Carpenter

That is Paul Gonzales of Duke Ellington’s Diminuendo in Blue multi chorus solo at Newport on the big fat Bari sax.
Thanks!
No it's not. That's Virgil Gonzalves. Paul Gonzalves never played with buddy miles
Also, it's Gonzalves; not Gonzales
Beastttt on dem drums Bruh
At 1:04 I thought I was seeing Kelso from That 70's Show lol
my left ear is very much enjoying it
This is from Playboy After Dark. You can clearly see Hef smoking his pipe at 0:14.
What a ridiculous legend
What??
Wow. There was no one beating the hell out of drums like that at that time. Not even Kieth Moon, in my opinion. He didn't play nasty giant beats like this.
Only one who came close IMO was Bill Ward from Black Sabbath.
Has to be difficult playing drums while simultaneously singing lead
Groovy baby! Dancing was so much more expressive and active back then. Nowadays go watch a bar band, there will be line dancers doing robotic “easy” movements.
Buddy Miles was amazing and so is his band here. I miss horn sections, too bad the guitar solo is almost inaudible...who is the bassist, anyone know?
OMG, it;s Jim McCarty on guitar.
I was today years old when I learned the Fabulous Thunder birds DID NOT write Wrap it Up
😘 me as well! Damn, everyday i get schooled! Years
🤣💙✊🏼🎶✌🏼
Sam and Dave hit
It was Isaac Hayes & David Porter who Wrote it, and Sam & Dave's Rendition is 1st! Buddy Miles' Version is BETTER than the Thunderbirds!!
@@derneillwashington3091Hayes & Porter were the primary song writers at STAX; like Holland/Dozier/ Holland were at MOTOWN. Of course u knew that. Bands like ZZ TOP doing I THank You & the Fab T-Birds years later were just rock versions of the original SOULS recordings
Dude has LOUNGES.
get down wit ya bad self....
Who is the second drummer?
Drumline brought me here
Tell me more, where is this on drumline?
@@betagemslostmedia607 it’s the part when Devin Miles’ dad mailed him tapes of drummers he knew and the ones he didn’t know. Buddy Miles is one of those tapes
@@creydadj - Thanks!
Wow the first few bars sounded like Vanilla Fudge. #claliforniaclassics

Jimi dropped Buddy Miles like a hot potato, referring to him as Soul Brother 3rd Class!
Where Jim McCarty??!
He’s a top 10 guitarist but not here?
Dual drummer lineup..
Gotta groove. :) James Brown did it for a time, and it sounded great.
What ever happened to Billy Sprague, trumpet player with Buddy Miles? He was from Detroit as well.
Embarrassed to ask, but what are the names of the songs in this clip?
David Levine Runaway Train and Wrap It Up....
@@jefflanham1080 thx
Both from his solo album after he was in electric flag but before band of gypsies. A good and underrated album with. a bunch of good cuts on it
Buddy Miles si tocaba, no como Ringo Star, no cabe duda que si los Beatles hubieran sido afro, o latinos nunca hubieran tenido éxito.
Tienes toda la razon!
Who is playing the bass guitar? He's got an excellent "fuzzy/overdriven" bass tone that is amazing! GREAT video!
That's Bill Rich on bass,saxist/keyboardist Herbie Rich's brother.
I Sure Love to Know who his back up Drummer is and other Musicians the Horns and all of them
Peter Strazza on sax and Marcus Doubleday on trumpet were with Buddy in the Electric Flag
Sigh.... poor sound, and only one channel. Wish it was better.....
Why two drummers? Nothing difficult or complex rhythmically with the music. Odd they would throw in a 2nd drummer
The Allman Brothers had two drummers. James Brown had two drummers. (With Clyde Stubblefield, no less. It was about groove.) It’s common in jazz, too. Not unusual.
Should of been Jimi Hendrix drummer................!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you ask me.......?!?
But Buddy was a leader and so was Jimi.
Absolutely grotesque how? Would you like to wake up and find that sleeping on your couch? Sweating and s S t a I n I ng the upholstery. Yuck
This show is Playboy after Dark.
That's some fruity dancing
Drumming is Great song is lame
