Makes me was to march into a country in the Middle East and occupy it, but with a swagger.

Better than the original

Always a great player

omg

Man, hes so relaxed ...super groove. Wha'pen to the other vid?.. cant remember the tune, old jazz standard but it was better than this one.. still good tho.

Great players… but …this is a great example of a “square as hell” sound…. Army marching band and classical players… or worse yet…GREAT Classically Trained and programmed GREAT PLAYERS… who can only bend a note if the bend it written in to the page…. Or…. All great soulful players… who all are conforming to outrageous mediocrity forced in to otherwise great people … I said it… tough … I work with guys EVERY day… who acknowledge the above… “ don’t think…. Just shut up and stay in your lane”. Yes my comments are very buzz kill… These …. ARE….GREAT players… but NO music lover would listen to this for the sound… because the GROOVE SUCKS…this sound is Marching Band 101…. we listen to it because it’s early GADD..and the other great musicians…

One of Tom Selleck's finest drum performance.

If someone asked you what it means when they say a drummer is playing very deep in the pocket, you should show them this video.

Even back then his sound war clear and precise.

Super, super, super.

What a great era in jazz and rock music. The band was hot, all the way around. Steve Gadd laying it on nice and heavy. That would've been an amazing concert.

Thanks Ron ancient history but that was a fun time - despite being the Army. Steve changed my life

1970.Not a good time to be in the US Army.I hope everybody in this video made it through safely and stayed funky.

wow

Gadds snare rolls are just unmistakable

Gadd is just FUNKY man..

Wow!! I had no idea. Most people don’t know this but military bands only take the cream of the crop.. goes to show you Steve was destined for greatness..

Gadd Tom Selleck . Magnum P.I 🤣🤣

Man, listen to those Zildjians! lol

Good lord that bass drum sounds MASSIVE! Peace ✌️

Great to see Steve Gadd at the absolute hight of youth and skills!

Love the ambience on the bass drum. Reminds me of Led Zeppelin records.

that pianist is funky!

Did he join the army to have a gig or was he drafted? That must have been a bit scary because they probably could have grabbed any of those guys and stuck a rifle in their hands and sent them to vietnam.

Learned to play from a Gadd fan jazz drum teacher the USAF in 1973 wanted me to be in their band?

Man guitar sounded awesome and Steve was killin it on the kit!!

CRAZY ARMY

Damn. That’s some hamming. Wow

Listen to the answer riff and it sounds like from “It’s Your Thing”.

Steve Gadd is the best drummer on the planet. Just his 'feel' alone is amazing

Thanks!

Best Gadd solo I've heard, including Aja.

最高のドラマー

During the draft Pershing’s Own and Field Band had world class players.

In Gadd we've always trusted.

この時すでにガットドラミングですね🤔

styl e and sound reminds me a bit of Jon Bonham. The combination of kick and snare really has some ring to it!!!!

I grew up listening to the "Meters" here in the NOLA area, and "Cissy Strut" is one of their most popular songs, but this was a real joy to hear with Steve Gadd on drums. I am a lifelong drummer so Gadd and Zigaboo are 2 of my favorite drummers of all time.

Why does the military need such a sexy band?

Ah, ah....! Formidable!!!

Other than age and being out of the Army, Steve and his remarkably fabulous playing has not changed a bit... it's Gadd!

С кем только Стиву не доводилось играть...😀👍👍👍

Долой Штолле!

It looks like Steve is Playing a Rogers Kit!! This is cool as hell.

Gon, that's right, gon- gon git down Army Band!!!!

I didn't know Steve Gadd used to be Burt Reynolds

You wouldn't think this'd work, totally does

He is a number One in my list, the Best of the best

Damn gadd is fuckin tight
