Buddy Rich Sounds For Saturday 1971 part 2

[@bobbysands6923]

I watched a lot of BR videos over the past 50 years or so, but I don't think I have ever seen him play with that kind of intensity and speed for that long. That was insanity what he did. And I don't think he was goofing around at the end...he was tired. I would be dead.

[@rphillip1086]

This might be the best band performance that I've heard, I conclude he was very happy with the band and playing perfectly because of that.

[@edellis515]

In all my life I can't explain how I love going to watch him play .....shear extasy

[@Lewy3958]

I was at this concert ...i was nearly 13 and this was my 12th time seeing him live , i was sat to his right so could see below and above the ride cymbal and between the piano . When i met him afterwards he said to me " hey kid havent you got anything better to do than come and see me " ? when i said no.... he laughed and ruffled my hair and said " you need to get out more " . When all the autograph hunters had gone i was taken back stage ..,.he had arranged it " and he asked me how i was , how school was and when was the next time i was going to get to see him ? ....my reply was several days later .....his reply was good i will make sure i take that night off . As i left he said " good to see you kid " .

That’s AWESOME

[@rphillip1086]

Wow 🙂

[@charleswinokoor6023]

I like the fact that he introduced all the guys in the band individually.

[@pinball1970]

man his left hand is just relentless on this, I wold never think of putting all those grace notes in like that, my hand would be messed up after a few minutes. Just amazing he has translated the impossible dancing jazz left hand to a dancing rock hand. NO ONe else on the planet would play rock like that.

[@pinball1970]

second track I was talking about not Superstar

[@cloudview747]

I agree about that "dancing left hand." One of a Kind he was.

[@pinball1970]

Hey CV good to see you

[@cloudview747]

Good to "see" you too.

[@wanabe1952]

Thanks again to a true treasure hunter.

[@don4476]

Buddy's rock drumming was hip, you crazy cats. Seriously,

[@marianoisasa193]

Extraordinario!! Que manera increíble de tocar. Buddy es un caso único, estaba hecho para tocar la batería, todos sus movimientos perfectamente ejecutados. Por suerte hay mucho material para fisfrutar.

[@permpress]

I've always been trying to find another version of "Time Being." His solo on the Rich In London album was such a departure from his usual (all great) and I love it. Compositional mastery. Buddy, amazing! Thank you so much for this.

[@kenaldrich7279]

there is yet ANOTHER version of time being it used to be on youtube it may still be it was in black and white and believe it or not? it actually smokes this one..and the bbc time being was i believe the debut of the tune..unreal

[@stevejenkins6919]

@@kenaldrich7279 Might this be the one you mention? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6CpoqJ-l9yaj80 - wow! They're on fire! Thanks! I like 'em all. The version on RIL grabs me because Buddy seemed to be in a very different improvisational-on-the-spot mood. He told such a great story. Well, best way I can describe it 😊

[@dynasticlight1073]

@@stevejenkins6919 It's the same one . No visual...

[@nealbfinn]

Thanks for posting. Band is sounding great here. Good to hear Bill Holman's composition "Time Being", one of my favorite Holman charts and among the most challenging in BR's book.

[@SteveTaylorbigmusic]

am loving all your br posts.. a veritable public service indeed..thought I'd seen and heard it all...

[@cloudview747]

+Steve Taylor Public service, yes, thats a good way to put it. It makes me very happy that so many are appreciating these BR vids - the least I can do to show my gratitude to this incredible man who brought so much musical enjoyment and enrichment to my life, starting when I was just a kid. I sincerely hope that young drummers today will take the time not only to watch these videos, but to carefully LISTEN to the audio on these vids, and maybe be inspired like I was, and learn something about making music on the drums and playing musical drum solos.

[@arame29]

Wish we had the full version of love for sale at the end. Band was cooking.

[@cloudview747]

I wish that too!!

[@erzug]

Thanks for this. My Saturday is now complete.

[@jvh8806]

Thank You X 1,000,000,000,000,000 ! ! ! I saw this band at Brandy's Wharf in Philadelphia but I don't think Paul Kondziele was with the band that night. I have been trying to get a glimpse of him since 1971 ! Finally ! what an awesome show ! !

[@unmusica]

WOW! I cannot thank you enough for posting this! "Time Being" is my favorite number performed by this band, and it's just fantastic to see it in color, with such great audio. I agree with another commenter, you have done a great public service. I saw this band on June 5, 1972 at Lenny's-on-the-Turnpike in Danvers, Massachusetts, and was lucky enough to speak briefly with Buddy, obtain his autograph, and, most importantly, have my mind completely blown by such amazing players. I never cared for saxophones until that night. Pat LaBarbera fixed that. I could go on, but you get the point. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@cloudview747]

+unmusica You are welcome. Glad you are enjoying.

[@jimfraher2166]

One correction...Lennie's was in West Peabody, MA

[@dylangatenby9928]

Superstar was a great chart along with Time Being. I know Buddy was a fan of fast cars and was a black belt. It's great to see the Rich in London band play in concert. Love Lin Biviano and Pat La Barbera. I know Brian Grivna was with him around this time.

[@pinball1970]

5.10 I love the trombone in this 5.10, just a fantastic arrangement overall. Buddy aside that is, the drumming is overpowering one forgets what brialliant players these guys were and I think this is one of fave eras for his bands

[@sergio759]

Time Being tanta roba lezione di batteria a 360 gradi grande maestro Buddy unico e inimitabile!!!! Come marcia la band con lui non ha eguali è di un 'altra categoria.

[@rjvsmb]

Cloud - Your posts have been a source of pleasure, nostalgia, inspiration and frustration. Pleasure to see buddy play long after he left us, nostalgic to hearken back to a time when my dad would take my brothers and I to the Great American Music Hall in SF to see Buddy, inspiring to keep me trying to improve my playing, and the frustration knowing I will never be anywhere as good as Buddy. Cheers to "The World's Greatest Drummer"!

[@cloudview747]

+rjvsmb Regarding your last point about never being as good as Buddy, welcome to the club! I, and countless others, are right there with you.

[@sergio759]

Time Being gallatic version Buddy Rich the Master...

A killer band, killer arrangements, and my favorite BR chart: Time Being by Bill Hollman! This is Buddy´s band cooking at its very best!

To anyone who might ask why Buddy Rich is considered the GOAT, let this version of Time Being be Exhibit A.

Credits have "John Heimkreiter" on bass trombone. Buddy introduced bass trombone as John Leys.

LOVE this post.. Anybody got a notch filter to take out the annoying 60 cycle hum, and re upload this? Part 1 does not have this hum, but its all the way thru part two unfortunately! This is the exact lineup and set list I saw and heard over many nights at Ronnie Scott's Club in London way back then, including "Time Being" which is an amazing piece of music!

[@cloudview747]

I don't have the filter you mention to remove the hum. This video is exactly how I received it from another collector, so it isn't something that entered in when I uploaded it to YT. It's in my original too.

@@smctrout4423 I haven't heard back yet from my friend, but in the mean time I located a good quality audio of this chart from 1967 recorded at Isy's Supper Club in Vancouver. If interested respond to this with your email address and I will send it to you.

[@smctrout4423]

@@cloudview747 Thanks, but the recording on the "Big Swing Face" album is good enough for me. I'm not a drummer.

[@basilrug]

Hi Cloudview… I will try to see if I can somehow capture this video and re-filter the hum out, and re upload - a lot of early video tape with time code had this hum, it could be an audio sync track as well..

[@cloudview747]

Would it be easier if I sent you a DVD copy of the original PAL DVD I received from the collector? (which by the way contains the entire concert, not just part 2) If you like this idea I would just ask that when finished you then mail back to me an audio corrected DVD.

[@basilrug]

That would be fine, how do we communicate? I don't want to post here publicly!

Fantastic post. Thanks for posting it. Time Being is one of my favorite songs. Do you have by any chance the entire Rich/Bellson 1969 drum battle on Carson in high quality video? Thank you..

[@cloudview747]

+Roger Hn You are welcome. The Carson show you are talking about is available for purchase in the highest quality possible, and that is what I have. Its called the Return to Studio One episode, and also referred to as The Lost Episode. You could either purchase the single disc online used, or purchase one of the larger dvd sets that includes this disc.

[@georgekilroy2670]

Recorded in the BBC studios?

[@arthurparker7705]

Anyone know, is this performance before or after back surgery?

[@cloudview747]

Just looked it up for you in Pelle Berglund's book Buddy Rich One of a Kind. Buddy's back surgery was mid January 1972. This video, Sounds For Saturday, was performed/taped mid November 1971.

Did not care for Biviano's ending, not at all. Guess Buddy liked it.

one of the worst "lead" trpt's I've ever heard.

The hi hat at the beginning of the chart sounds like Mongolian coffee can with diarrhea! Why? Is that intentional. BR deserved better!

His hi hats sound always sound cheap to me
