Buddy Rich Sounds For Saturday 1971 part 2 

Every time I watch this I'm left in a awe at how on fire and tight the whole band is, and the soloists while soloing as well.... and BTW the tightest of them all is Mr. Rich. I mean, I can watch the best videos of Colaiuta and/or Cobham (and many others) at their peak, and they are tremendously great, but when I watch this it's clear to me that Mr. Rich is unmatched.

WOW!!!! There is Buddy and then there is everything else. No one comes close to his technique and skill and swing! I always refer to Buddy in the present as there will never be another like him!

Time Being showcases Buddy better than any other song, even WWS. He dazzles in ensemble as well as solo. There's a fierceness here that I have not seen matched. Such an arrangement!

Beautiful sounding Fibes snare. A very notorious sound. So crispy and sensitive ...

Wow! Been a Buddy fan for over 35 yrs. Never seen this - awesome!! Thx for posting

This is perhaps the best Buddy Rich Big Band performance I have ever seen! In 1971 Buddy Rich is at his peak. This is breathtaking.

The great Bill Holman chart " Time Being". Smoking on this night!

Buddy couldn't read a note of music, so how could he memorize the entire song with all of these changes in it? He definitely was a genius with a photographic memory..

I heard and saw this iteration of the band on several occasions around this time. So many great memories of the tremendous energy and precision, Lin Biviano sharing a tambourine like a madman and screeching his brains out, Pat LaBarbara's unique communication with Buddy, etc., etc.. Wonderful music, and I sure miss that sound.

Awesome! This was the first of Buddy's bands I saw as a middle schooler in St. Louis. I was playing drums about a year then and was blown away and played jazz ever since.

great charts, and killin' band ... and Buddy is on fire ... thanks for posting this

The ‘bones sound great. JC Superstar. Paul Kondziela on bass was excellent. Even the camera work is top notch.

I remember back in the seventies and went to see Buddy in the UK and he gave a 10 minute drum solo which at one point he was playing with the stick on the side of the snare drum. The audience was spellbound and then with a giant bang on the base drum finished the piece! Most of us nearly fell off our seats with fright!!!!

The real deal, words can't describe how great, Buddy Rich .Wow..

Yeah man! Great share. The great Bob Dogan went on to inspire at Berklee and helped me tremendously during that time.

(Time Being) and precious others, he never plays it the same way twice. always mixes it up. the mark of Buddy!

This is great! I never heard Buddy get down like this.

I witnessed Buddy in the 80s ....amazing

I loved that first song! #rockin

I had this version of song number two on a Ronnie Scott's album. Amazing. Just beautiful arrangement on the brass - and I play drums!!

That was just great Cloudview747! Thank you Ralph Cooper for the much improved audio! I still think this is probably the 2nd best band BR has ever had! Man, Paul Kondiela is awesome as was this great trumpet section. I can't leave out the rest of the guys, they were just as awesome. This the exact "Rich in London" album band. As soon as I heard this album(on vinyl), I thought to myself the audience on this album was so lucky to hear this particular band with Buddy playing at his most awesome best! I envy those people! Thanks again Cloudview747 and remember Buddy's birthday is September 30th! He will have been 98 years old.

THIS CHART IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!

uncle buddy! absolutely insane! thanks so much for this post. this is actually the 1st time i have seen "time being". i heard it many a times, but this is great! what a showman! band in top form, looks great, all the great musicians! there was, is and will never be anyone even close to uncle b's incredible natural talent! he just can't be touched!

“Jesus Christ Superstar”! Excellent trumpet player and great charts.

Was für tolle beats!!!!!! Danke an die ganze big band!

It's HARD TO COMPREHEND HOW INSANE TIME BEING IS

I saw this band WITHOUT Bob Dogan. Just Kondziela & Buddy holding the band together perfectly. The most amazing thing I ever saw. I never saw any band do that! Walking w/o a net for sure!

"CHILLS", all the way down the line.

Time Being what a chart. Thanks Cloudview.

Saw this band at Ronnies during the recording of the album. Fabulous. I'd love to know what happened to Paul Kondziela; great bassist. Anybody know?

Wish this guy was still playing. He was the best!

best A Zildjians ever - man, he definitely got the pick of the litter!

Wow! # 3 Sax man is soloing while in the process of standing up, during "Love For Sale."

I probably posted here before, but having Time Being on video with the same band... (and the same suit!) ... is more than young me could have dreamed of back in the 79s.

BUDDY RICH outranks, outclasses and beats by hundreds of miles, bonham, peart, baker

Nice to hear and see Buddy playing funk. He s goood

Conversations of the greatest drummer of all time are so simple. Start with Buddy Rich, talk for 6 hours, take a one-week break, then discuss the rest starting with Gadd, Weckl, and Vinnie. If you discuss the best groove artist, start and end with Jeff Porcaro.

Yeah, Buddy. The technical master for sure. But then it can get to be overwhelming, No space left to breathe. Like a metronomically precice robot with Uzis firing away on The One. BraaapppBraaapp. Every solo goes into drum major marches leaving the melody as a distant recollection. If Buddy had a fourth arm, (because we all know he actually had three) he'd have filled in more empty space.

Buddy with that God damn Fibes snare again.

What snares sound the closest to Fibes..seeing they were Buddy’s preferred snare at that time. Today’s top drummers with their massive kits, don’t come close to Buddy’s basic kit.

One of Buddy's Slingerland periods , but what was the snare. Great cracking sound.

Great upload, as usual, #cloudview787. Too bad "Love For Sale" was cut off by the broadcaster.

Buddy is the Best...👍👍👍

70s and 80s burning!

How can Rolling Stone magazine rate Buddy number 15 out of the 100 best drummers of all time .What in f#$%ing are they smoking!!!!!!

Thanks for posting!!!

THIS IS BEYOND FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+++. BEYOND GENIUS

This chart is INSANE.

My apologies, cloudview747, but I couldn't wait until Saturday to listen to this.

Christ that snare!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD

What a hard blowing band this was! Looks like the personnel from the RCA Different Drummer LP. Although Jesus Christ Superstar is a dated piece, I really enjoyed the precision and explosiveness of this band.

What Slingerland snare was Buddy “supposed “ to be using, in place of this Fibes…?

SUPER

Oops, meant to say there is Buddy and then there's everyone else...

REAL MUSIC!!!

Genius

Zero dislikes. Exactly how it should be

WTF did he just play at the 12:58 mark! HOLY GOD!

What was the name of the song after Jesus Christ Super Star ? Who wrote and arranged song ? the band smoked it tighter than a bulls ass!!!!! Buddy was on point and on total fire!!!!!!!!!

What a pity for Love for Sale 😱 !!

What's the first song? Setlist?

Love For Sale ended before his 4 bar 16ths solo.

From the 11.40 minutes mark 🙂

Lin @ John left and went to Maynard Ferguson ‘

I wonder if this was pre-surgery .

Buddy reverts the "Drum Way", at 4:51. Non of this so-called "Matched Grip" foolishness.

WTF TIME BEING. BEYOND COMPREHENSION

Buddy rich Born : 30 09 1917 Died : 02 04 1987 69 años 35 años 104 años (actualmente)

Not of this earth

Time Being best version on the album, Buddy played a melodic solo Although this band really blows

I mean WTF

TIME BEING IS NOT OF EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer Ernie Watts.

STOP DO U REALIZE HOW WACKED OUT THE CHART TIME BEING IS. IT IS NUTS;!!!!!!!;;;

I'm a big Buddy fan, but honestly, this isn't all that great. He never did get the rock thing down. He's essentially soloing over the rhythm. The band is tight and the bass player is really holding it together but it's just too much. The solo is terrific but it would have more impact if he didn't already play every lick he knows during the song.

Lin Biviano - - - the most inconsistent lead player Buddy ever had.

GOD
