I performed with him along with the Williamsport, Pa. Pops Orchestra in the mid 80's. I was seated directly behind him on trombone. He heard every note I played. He and I had a great conversation sitting there before the show. Nothing but another super memory. Thank-you Walter Straiton!!

I was fortunate to attend one of these performances when they came to Los Angeles, and played at El Camino JC, with virtually the same line up as this video. I believe it was around 1978 or 9, with my best friend and I attending. Marcus, I learned later was already a force of nature in his own right, before joining BR. He earned standing ovations, one after another. The ride home was silent, mostly due to our jaws hanging near the ground for a while after the show, and not wanting to break the sanctity of the moment. Over thirty five years later, I still remember that concert. It is one of a handful of events I consider unforgettable. Marcus went on to lead the band, and was the obvious candidate to lead after Rich died. Sadly, he too is no longer with us. They live on in the memories of those souls their music touched.

It was a little humid and, yes, we have mosquitos. After 2 or 3 songs, Buddy Rich says into the microphone, "Where the fuck am I?" Well Buddy, you weren't in Kansas.

This is my favourite big band version of this track. The whole album that this came from "Class of '78" is great. Buddy Rich may have been a so and so to work for, but his arrangements were always brilliant and pretty hard to play. Yes, there is always an abundance of drum solos, but it was his band. I once saw him do a 5 minute solo purely on snare and it was magic, so complex and interesting even for a non-drummer.

He wasn't a so and so...he was a nightmare pretty much. I did sound mixing [FOH and MON] for him in '78 when he came to Denver from Vegas. This particular band looks very familiar, BTW. They were great, but were in constant fear of the "wrath of Rich", just as I was! One night the house system failed!! due to fuse blowing in the breaker panel. I had to raise the monitor levels [on a different circuit] drastically to temporarily get House levels to be adequate, while we tracked the problem and fixed it. We did it all within the tune he was currently playing. It was assholes and elbows with flashlights clenched in teeth, for a while....The audience hardly new what had happened, but Buddy about had a heart attack. After the show we had, shall we say, more than a heated moment. But at the end of the day...he actually understood the randomness of the happening and we moved forward with the rest of the shows. But yeah! He does have a temper for sure.

This is my favorite cut as well. I love the way Buddy Rich plays the drums as a part of the whole and not just a time keeper. Buddy liked to assemble his bands with recent graduates of music schools; Berkley in Boston was one of his favorites. Steve Marcus was an old man by comparison with the 'youngsters' in this band. BTW, whenever Buddy was in the Boston area, he would stop in at Leo Carrillo's shop in Providence for a 'refresher' in drumming technique from the master. My brother was a student of Leo's for a few years and became a pretty terrific drummer.

izzz, You have to be more than good to be in that or any of Buddy's Bands & I seriously doubt you are. James Brown was as hard a task master towards his band & even fined them if they missed a note & as Buddy he's a legend. Benny Goodman was the same way. Still they knew just what was expected from them & they wanted to be in a band that great.

Nice groove and I love how the brass section all turn into the percussion section. Nice arrangement. Steve Marcus kills it!

They could play anywhere they want - just like you, me,.. anybody... anybody... anybody (Blues Brothers 1980.) They loved it even though they made scale- plus about 50 per diem. sending 200 home a week isn't enough, but playing every night with Buddy Is Enough.

Where do I begin? First... It's a performance/arrangement like this that makes me think that what the Symphony Orchestra was to European Classical Composers, the Big Band became, and continues to be, to American (and American-inspired) Composer/Arrangers. Second... The Rich Band, perhaps the ultimate Big Band, does (Berklee grad) Joe Zawinul's Fusion masterpiece. Third... Longtime Rich sideman, the redoubtable Steve Marcus, takes an absolutely blistering soprano sax solo, showing Kenny G what he could do if only he put in somewhat more practice, and had a sh*tload more soul, during which, at 2:30, serious Funk happens, as the entire band becomes an enormous percussion section. Fourth... The bass-player, standing in the shoes of Jaco Pastorius, is brilliant. Fifth... I've seen him live twice, and in numerous films, talk shows, etc., and I can attest to the fact that Buddy Rich NEVER gives more than 110%, as he does here. (Personal note: When I graduated from the Hogwarts of Music, in Boston, in 1980, the two recipients of honorary doctorates that weekend were the newly-appointed successor to the recently-deceased Arthur Fiedler as director of the Boston Pops, film composer John Williams, and Buddy Rich. Williams handed me my diploma, and I said to him, "A privilege, sir;" when Rich then shook my hand, I said, "An honor, sir," to which he replied, "It's an honor for me, too.")

Astounding rendition of onme of my favorite songs. i saw BR and the Big Band do this at The Bottom Line in NYC, and it blew us all away. But i am reminded that at that performance, as in this one, not a single smile EVER from BR or any member of the band. Almost like enjoying or getting into it was forbidden. Weird. But love the sound!!!

When I was a kid living in California I saw him perform live many times at Disneyland. He was the greatest inspiration. We still love you Buddy. Check out my tributes to him on here (a few short drum solos of mine). To all the rock drummers out there, don’t lose touch with the past. There are many things to learn from the rich heritage all those jazz drummers left us “back in the day”. Richard Gray

Performance seems a bit rushed to me. The original version by Weather Report is at 156 bpm. Whereas Buddy takes it at about 198 bpm (though it slows to a more comfortable 190 bpm for the sax solo).
