Louie Bellson - Buddy Rich Memorial Concert 1989 - 4K@60fps Remastered 

Louie would be 100 years old this year. 😮

People forget that Louis did it all...Composer,,arranger etc...How great was he!

He is the reason I play. Been playing for the last 60 years. Been touring for the last 35 still am. Thank you Louie, love you man R.I.P. Ambassador Jenks

Louie showed what set him apart here with his double kicks in the big band jazz context and a library of interesting chops that were his alone, along with hands that could keep up with Buddy in a drum battle as they had done numerous times. One of the world's all time greats.

Louie could have easily played with any metal band

DAMN,YES,Buddy would have loved this.

I met him many years ago Super nice guy. I’m just amazed at his playing for any age, but he’s older here and doesn’t even break a sweat. Inspiring is all I can say. What a talent.

No one more qualified than Louie to lead Buddy's band. They had some great drum battles... namely an LP " Are you ready for this". Louie maybe more inventive and musical.... Buddy brutal, fast and always the one to chase. Two of the greatest drum technicians who have ever lived. There are great drummers out there now...Weckle, Paice, Palmer the list is long. But when we lost Buddy and Louie some of the magic disappeared from drumming.

All hail Uncle Louie . . The master grand father of double bass set up 🙏🙏🙏

This is one of the greatest solos ever.

For my money, Bellson had it all.....chops, dynamics, and taste !!!!

Phenomenal. He was amazing.

Besides being one of the greatest drummers of all time, Maestro Bellson was the kindest man you could ever hope to meet. A legend in the truest sense of the word.

I am hobby drummer .On my drum wall I have 4 ...8x10 black and white pics on the wall ...I am a fan of many drummers out there in drum world ..but on the wall are just 4 pics ....its Buddy Rich ,Gene Krupa,Joe Morello and Louie Belson ..those are my drum gods ..period ..thanks for the msgnificant upload

One of the greatest of all time ON ALL FRONTS! The world needs MORE Louie Bellsons!

That was by far the absolute "best" soloing I've ever heard from Louie.....Bravo!!

One of my Greatest things to happen in my Life was meeting Buddy Rich when he and the band came and played at the Red Creek here in Rochester NY

A true Master

He was 65 here. Imagine that.

The bands that backed up Bellson were fantastic!

Just amazing chops and musical feel.

One of the greatest of all times !!!!

The great, one and only Louie Bellson, Mic DROP!

Wow! It was amazing seeing him years ago back in Rock Falls Illinois visiting and doing a workshop. Still have a signed drum head of his.

Unfassbar guter Drumsound , blitzschnelles kreatives Spiel, und man sieht Louie an , wieviel Freude er beim spielen hat. Unglaublich , was der Mann hier zeigt . In der Serie " Superdrumming " sah man , das er die Bassdrums mit Holzbeatern anspielt , sicherlich ein Grund für diesen knackigen Bassdrumsound

He is one of those rare jazz musicians who can play other kinds of music really well

Cleanest triplets I've ever heard.

Monster chops !!! Rip Louie

There's a man who loves what he does and does what he loves well!

Amazing

Perhaps the one guy who could give Buddy a run for his money

Great job ! One of my favourite Bellson clips.,

Louie was not only a great talent, he was also a very nice guy, unlike Buddy who was hated by both his band and manager. Buddy was a tremendous talent, but a prick of a person. There's a reason why Louie was often invited to the White House.

I love whatever you did during remastering to bring the drums out more👍🏻

Louie…amongst the greatest…

Fantastic!

Louie is the Grandpa I wish I had.

Peak performance at about 65yo!

….AND the fact that he plays BOTH traditional grip as well as matched grip. I would have loved for Buddy to try and tell Louie that “he was holding his sticks wrong.”

Louie and Buddy.... unmatched in speed, style, chops, you name it! And these guys weren't wearing muscle shirts and shorts. Pure class! Louie was ripping it up in this concert at age 65... just wow!

Incomparable

THAT was impressive!

Yup- the original jazz double bass blast beats master. Definite old school, swing style. Don’t hear playing like that anymore…

Wow!.....

I love this guy! Total class act all the way. Burning 🔥 up the kit -- and all while wearing a tux. Hats off!

Class.

Ok Louie...I hear you...

Phenomenal! 👌👌👌👌

Indurance and perfection of rhythm...top dog

Could you imagine if Buddy used a double bass kit?

Holy smokes ! 🤘🏻

Playing like this in a Tux is no easy feat .

Closest I've heard to Neil Peart, or the other way around to be more accurate, either way, two monsters of the percussive kind. RIP Guys.

My very first album I ever bought was Explosion, I was 16 in 1975. Wore it out!! Got the cd thirty years ago and now I'm a old man. Where did those years go Louie??

He played that for buddy

A-mazing ❣👍🏆

Topaz Video Enhance AI can't do miracles but great results nonetheless! The fact you had the time to upscale this in the first place is what beats me xD

i would put spot moon gel on snare...would be great to see loo play with slip knot...2 kicks wicked...

Earth Soul Four Sticks Blues Jazz RocknRoll...

awesome! is he playing a remo kit? i didn't know they made drums, only roto toms, & heads. sounds great.

thanks! ben', budy rich', louie bellson', gene krupa', tony williams', elvin jones', bernard purdie', all very pro' jazz drummers'. louie knowing buddys', swinging jazz' too peace

Almost feels like buddy is assisting with this absolutely perfect solo

Louis is good all professional drum.set players should observe him

Was that smoke coming off those drums 🥁

THE BUS TAPES!!!!

fora de série no instrumento 😊

As I watched, in the beginning I said to myself "nothing new here that I haven't done back in my twenties and thirties - essentially one long snare drum roll at various speeds interrupted by occasional tom and cymbal attacks. Then at 4:16, we get into some serious cymbal work (that you don't see very often), and surprisingly, among this (if you are very attentive you will catch it) a small tribute to John Bonham from his Moby Dick solo. Also a nod to Zeppelin and Bonham's tom/bongo solo work in "Four Sticks" at 5:08 (did you get it - literally four sticks). A great drummer to be sure. But after thirty years of drumming, almost continuous snare rolls used as a solo make me yawn.

...ciao ciao mangini portnoy e scarpari vari...😅😅😅

I miss this guy so much ! Used to see him at Donte's club in north Hollywood in the 70"

Bellson was mainly the double bass, a LOT of rolls, repetition of patterns and chops in EVERY solo - Sure, that what he played was good, whatever he played was technically great but I don't see LB as very creative. Someone has to say it

The lead player almost F--ked up the whole song with that last note......
