There are alot drummers I saw over my 65 years alive but I don’t miss anyone more than Buddy Rich. I saw him live first time when I had just turned 13 years old and many times after that. I miss him lots. I still have dreams of the man. He was The Greatest Natural Drummer in The History of The World.

I noticed at about 6:20 he tightened the snares to get more of a tight sound rather than a loosey goosey rock sound.

That’s because most rock drummers don’t know how to swing the beat. Buddy’s idols were Krupa and Jo Jones, masters of swing. I did like early Chicago and BS & T’s drummers in that they play jazz-rock tunes, and had a more relaxed and swing like feel not just pounding away like Bonham and Company…
Great transition from straight to swing coming out of the solo.

Buddy was never really a groove player. This is a good example of that "boogaloo" type of pseudo funky stuff that you'd hear on 1970's TV themes -- which is cool in a way, but hardly hardcore "funk." Keep in mind, when this was recorded, guys like Harvey Mason, Billy Cobham , Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, and Dennis Chambers were making their mark and establishing a new style of playing that Buddy never really grasped. Having said that, he is playing his ass off here -- just in HIS way.

I think that is a fair assessment. I think Bob Kaye and Tommy Warrington are doing a good job - but the drummer just sounds like... Buddy Rich. A brilliant virtuoso drummer, no doubt, but basically the same breaks and riffs he would have put in had the band been playing a jazz standard from the 1930s. Great playing, but not really funk. I went and listened to Clyde Stubberfield after watching this. Buddy just didn't get 'groove' or 'mimimal' .

Menza needs to SHUT UP and let the other guy talk. He interupts him every time he tries to talk, like he's not even there.

if you read the wikipedia of Buddy Rich, he was on stage at 18 months. Her performed at age 4 to acclaim. He was a child star. He led a touring band in his teens. So he was showbiz his entire life.

As long as you could play like Don then Buddy was sure to treat you right.

This wasn't 1965. It was 1967. Chuck Findlay and Bobby Shew were not in Buddy's band in 1965.

Good to hear someone bigging up Buddy Rich. Most people put him down as a result of his abrasive personality.

You can find the studio recording that he references here on YT. It is unmixed and sounds a little rough. Menza's solo is short....much shorter than the live date.
