Buddy Rich "Ruth" 1970 & end credits "Ruth" partial

[@kailoclark7786]

Damn he reallly trusted his band on the Ed Sullivan show performances. First time I’ve seen him play with his back to them 😂

[@batouttahell454]

Honest to God, he was ONE OF A KIND!!

[@edellis515]

He was my friend

[@edellis515]

Played a song with his band in 1976.

[@GFVAhi-fi]

@@edellis515 Really? Awesome! I could only dream of getting to meet Buddy.. The books, the videos, all of his records, that's as close as I could get! Love his legacy.

[@GFVAhi-fi]

@@edellis515 Incredible, do you remember what tune?

[@cjgaddy]

Man Alive - INCREDIBLE!

[@batouttahell454]

His sense of time was otherworldly!

[@DeepsongProductions]

My favorite all time drummer... Buddy was truly gifted! Love how he keeps a spare stick on the floor tom Cheers...

[@GFVAhi-fi]

Usually it was his towel on that tom

[@DeepsongProductions]

@GFVAhi-fi Cheers...

[@Randy-z8u]

68' to 72' Buddy was on fire! Got to shake his hand in San Francisco in 1972.

[@fepatton]

That is one seriously hot performance!

Thank you for sharing this incredible video ! You’ve done an amazing job showcasing Buddy’s unmatched talent. His left-hand technique is just mind-blowing, and this performance truly highlights the sheer mastery he had over the drums. It’s always a pleasure to see these gems, you’re keeping his legacy alive in the best way possible. Great work !

[@cloudview747]

Until you and I got to talking about high quality videos I acquired many years ago, I had no idea this one was missing from my channel!!

[@ArchiverZ]

@@cloudview747 That’s amazing to hear ! It’s incredible how these conversations can bring hidden gems back to the surface. I’m so glad this one made its way to your channel, it’s a real treasure. Thank you for sharing it with all of us ! :)

[@francescoferrarese4737]

WoW !...

[@OFLHLGZ28]

I’ve never heard this before…..awesome!

[@cloudview747]

👍 🙂

[@stevecagle2317]

Thank you for this post! Gawd, I remember watching TV with my parents and Ed Sullivan and his "Really big shoe'" was a favorite. I'm so grateful I got to see Buddy in concert several times!

[@rvisual]

OMG thx for posting. Never knew BR was on Ed Sullivan till now.

[@cloudview747]

He actually was on Sullivan twice. This was the second time. Here's the first time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqCtZWR3n915ntk

I have to wonder what this sounded like for the band onstage, and what kind of stage monitoring there could've been back in 1970; I can only assume there were side fills of some sort offstage (on both sides), but still... I think this just illustrates how *great* the ensemble must've been to be able to play *so* tightly...being set up with only the visual aesthetic in mind (for television), as opposed to their conventional setup - with the rhythm section together as a trio, nestled within the horn sections and the horns being stacked together. For those of us who've played in this type of ensemble, I'm sure you can relate to how foreign this must have been.. It makes this performance that much more amazing!

[@sinatrafan9856]

Great quality! Nice to see you uploading again. Thanks for the great video!

[@cloudview747]

👍 🙂 I was definitely surprised recently when I discovered this vid was no longer on my channel.

[@PecanRanch]

F’n clams !!!!!!

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Just "easing into the evening" for Buddy... :)

[@DanielKatzel]

As usual, doing more with a simple kit than anyone else can do with a zillion add-ons. BR is the obvious GOAT !!

[@cloudview747]

I think he was pumped up because of the huge audience provided by the popular Sullivan show.

[@roybeckerman9253]

FIBES SNARE ?

[@tunes699moon2]

Perhaps , it was disguised so well!

[@carlosdiaz-ic2xm]

Yes 100% Fibes! Even though he played various drum his Snare drum was usually a Fibes with other companies hardware!

[@beagleman123456789]

Who cares ?

[@pinball1970]

Wow. Never seen this

[@cloudview747]

Well now you have seen it and that's good!

[@tunes699moon2]

@pinball1970 Hot Bill Holman chart on a late 60s album that featured some rock charts of popular music.

[@bernielove3019]

Who was doing the crazy trumpet at the end of the track?

[@daleproctor3723]

Thrilling much?

[@cloudview747]

He definitely was thrilling!

[@matthewcox3510]

I wonder if Bud Slingerland ever saw this. That’s almost certainly the infamous Fibes snare drum that got Buddy into hot water with Slingerland several times due to his endorsement contract.

[@SimonNoina]

With hindsight, Ed Sullivan seems such a wooden and disjointed host of a show!

[@cloudview747]

At this point in Sullivan's career (show ran from 1948 to 1971) I definitely agree!

[@rightchordleadership]

Ridiculous.

[@cloudview747]

😁

[@chrisbauer7855]

Band sounds great! So does Buddy. Is that Lin "Squeaky" Biviano on lead trumpet? I think it is.
