The Glenn Miller Orchestra LIVE at the Avalon Theatre

[@IsraelLong131]

This was amazing to listen to and watch. My parents listened to Glenn Miller and his Orchestra so i grew up with it. All of you are incredible musicians and singers. I'm so glad i got to watch this. It brought me a lot of comfort and peace in a difficult time

[@GaryWinkel-ne5sp]

I just saw them at the Cobb Energy Center on Feb 4 2024. This music will never go out of style. Eventhough Glenn and his original members are no longer with us, the music lives on.

[@MrListener43]

Ray Anthony (born Raymond Antonini; January 20, 1922) is a retired American bandleader, trumpeter, songwriter and actor.[1] He is the last surviving member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra Age 102.

[@overtime6696]

As the war dragged on, year after year, Glen's creative musical ability was a rare moment of solace for the folks at home and abroad. I am so thankful for his talent and focus on excellence. It shows, even today!

[@CarlFerrigno]

Bill Finegan at 16 yrs old was a trumpet player with Glenn when the band started in '37 , I knew Bill and his wife Rose (my voice teacher for 5+ yrs), in the late 70's to early 80's Bill was one of the greatest jazz writers and arrangers that ever lived, I've always felt honored to have known him personally for over 20 yrs.I'm still in touch with his son Jamie who is a writer arranger and teacher at Fairfield University in Fairfield,CT. God Bless you Rose and Bill for your everlasting musical contribution. I play bass trombone with the Ron Bonito 18 piece Big Band from Bridgeport, CT. 75 and go'n strong......!

[@c5d53g2e]

This is the music I grew up with. Pardon me for crying.

[@kfl611]

It was a little before my time, but such beautiful timeless music. I'm so glad it is still listened to and appreciated today.

My boyfriend and I took my parents to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra 6 months ago in Beverly, MA for my dad's 87th birthday. My dad is a retired professional trumpet player and my boyfriend got them to wish him happy birthday from the stage and dedicate "A String of Pearls" to him. It made his entire life!!! 💞

I saw them before Covid. They were great - absolutely wonderful. I went with my Mom, who is from the big band era - she saw several of the big bands in their heyday. She thought she was in heaven! They put on an excellent show.

[@Anthony-knows-little]

how were they?

[@eguzdek]

I wish I could have seen this in person as it meant so much to me growing up. I didn't have the opportunity to have many grandparents in my youth, but what I can tell you of my maternal grandmother and great-grandmother whom I only had until I was ten and thirteen. (1992-1995) I am very thankful that I was given a great gift of music.

Never grows old. Could listen forever. Reminds me of the days dated army officers and had dinners and dance at the officers club

[@pat4brown]

We saw the Tribute Band in the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool and danced (ballroom style) and jived to the music. It was incredible. My Dad used to play in a 1950s dance band and could play Glen Miller’s tunes so I grew up with it. At 80 it still makes me move. 😁

[@lindaw8773]

My husband and I just saw this wonderful orchestra in the Villages Florida at the Sharon Center. They were marvelous. I felt my parents who danced to this music when they were falling in love. It was bittersweet. I had a Dad who loved all kinds of music so I grew up with being exposed to all genres. He immediately went out to buy the Beatles music at EJ Korvettes in West Islp NY when they first came to NY. See them if you ever get a chance. This music is 80 years old

[@roseterry2744]

And fyi the original Glenn Miller Orchestra recordings outsold the Beatles and Elvis Presley, unbeatable sound!! A baby boomer😘🌹

[@newmoon54]

I've shopped at that Korvette's store back in the 70's until they closed the doors. I lived in Lake Ronkonkoma, and Holbrook. Sad to say,, between taxes and over-crowding (crime!) I moved away to North Carolina where I've NEVER felt safer, and happier for going on ~20 years!~ But,,, I miss of course ....... NY bagels, pizza, and good Chinese food! LOL! As for this luxurious music,, I had a little deeper connection to it as my uncle Sal was a professional jazz/swing drummer and played as ~smooth as a Swiss watch~ ! He played drums at the 1939 ~Worlds Fair~ in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens. They had an exposition of the first television cameras! My uncle was used as model for the t.v. cameras to display on a bunch of television monitors all along the viewing hall. He was simply nuts for Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Lionel Hampton!!! God Bless!!! Sonny.

[@gaborgredely1848]

Sajnos nálunk 1989 ig nem nagyon lehetett hallgatni G Millert. Úgy 15 éve itt jártak Magyarországon. Fantasztikus volt élőben hallani. Sajnos G Millernek nem sikerült teljes életpályát befutnia. Mennyi kiváló zenével maradt szegényebb a világ.ami nem született meg... sajnos.

[@BornAgainHard1775]

Saw them recently in Vegas!! What a show up close!! Props up to the Big Band Era, always playing wherever I go!!! God Bless America!

[@dangooding7061]

Very nice---sounding pertty close to the original. My mother's high school years, '38 to '42, overlapped the four years the GM band was around. GM went into the Army Air Corps. after that, was killed in '44 and Mom never got over it. Mom loved this band more than any of the fabulous others that were active then. I was quite lucky to have grown up hearing this music. Thanks so much for uploading this version of the GM Orchestra! I've heard two other versions in person. Wonderful! Dan

[@rogerlapointe7574]

It's a shame the Big Bands are slipping further and further into the sunset as music tastes change. While I skirted the sound since my head was turn at a different time being born in 1953. The Big Band was my fathers favorite music and I can say I do appreciate the songs and the talent that goes into producing it. You guys do a fine job of preserving the sound and style of that genre. I wish you all the success and happiness as you continue performing your amazing sound . . . . Thanks for the memories

[@libertytree3209]

There are a lot of aficionados of 40's and 30s' music on youtube. Search around. The music is great and commenters know what they are talking about. I'd suggest starting with Prozoot and 78prof. I play it all day.

[@GeneralIkeEisenhower]

Roger, I’m quite a bit younger than you and recently went to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra near me. I’m only going on 21 but haven’t listened to a single song past 1969 in a decade; nothing but 1940s Big Band and 1950s vocal groups. Your parent’s music may be becoming more obscure by mass media’s standards, but never doubt that us young people won’t carry it on. There’s some of us who this is all we like and I’d rather put a tie on and listen to Glenn’s music than whoever is popular these days. Kid you not, i don’t know nor care who it is.
