I was privileged to have seen Woody and the Thundering Herd in the early 1970's at La Bastille in downtown Houston Old Market Square.I was in high school and played the trumpet in marching and stage bands.The music, talent,and memories will never be forgotten.

[@SuperSuperDon]

I was the video engineer on this show. Thanks for posting.

[@pauldriscoll5356]

Wow! How did I miss this great event? In Houston I saw Mr. Herman at The Summit, with a double bill with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and in smaller venues...Rockefeller's and The Windmill Dinner Theater. I still treasure the LP that he signed for me.

[@thomassicard3733]

Lovin' Clark Terry!

[@lindypollard]

This was in Houston in 1984 at Miller Outdoor Theater. I was there and photographed the show.

[@peterkopa4820]

[@phillyons8531]

[@yilaugh5234]

I once saw Woody and his heard open for the WHO. Fillmore West, 1969. OH what a night!!!

[@ApartmentKing66]

The Who should've opened for HIM.

[@TheLegat65]

...тут надо слушать и слушать, и учиться,учиться,учиться.......!!!!! Обожаю ВУДИ!

[@cilcsster]

Heard this herd live many times on Southern California.

[@pkiler]

Wow, had never heard or heard of Woody's Fanfare for the Common Man, very nice!

[@BillPearce-jn1he]

It's unfair to. Call it *woodie's fanfare...". It's actually performed by woodie's band. In the intro, he introduced in a manner that shows woodie as a stand up guy, as he credits the composer as Aaron Copland. I believe he was the only bandleader to play this, it is normally heard at symphony concerts and brass ensembles.

[@pkiler]

@Bill Pearce Thanks, yes, I'm very familiar with Copland, and I love the big band adaptation. I've always loved the intersection between Jazz and Classical! 😀

[@hnijkamp22]

Joe Williams. Time! ❤️👏👏

[@joejazztrombone]

Such a great performance! I played the bass trombone and had a solo on this tune. It is my favorite Woody Herman Tune of all time.

[@JiveDadson]

Da bloose

[@tromboneJTS]

Who is the trombonist at 4:00? Super-clean articulations and a warm tone!

[@thomassicard3733]

Mark Lewis... yeah... great job, trumpeter!!!

[@riflebone]

This is a great concert - thanks for uploading!

[@joejazztrombone]

Outstanding

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

Damn, whoever was running the soundboard kept being late on bringing up The soloist microphone.

[@cjgaddy]

Woody Saxist DAVE RIEKENBERG (left-hand end of sax section) says this had to be in late 1984 (not 1985), because lead trumpeter Don Downs left Woody’s Band at the end of ‘84, after The Herd’s 3-week run in Reno with Tony Bennett.

[@laurakolb]

Thanks you for this :)Wish Bill Stapleton was still there ........

[@emmabenedek646]

Used to love this but not any more. guess I changed .However I would not do what I used to do ,go round the fest hall and listen to all that stuuf (classic).

[@zacharyrich4069]

Who’s arrangement of “pools” is that? I’ve only heard Abene’s chart for big band

[@laurakolb]

Do you mean "Houston" ?

[@tromboneJTS]

Who was the trombonist at 4:00???

[@cjgaddy]

That's the Great PAUL McKEE. kzbin.info/door/4x7E-l4vBT9SuJRN3G5wgQ

[@tromboneJTS]

At 18:00 John Fedchock?

[@cjgaddy]

Yes, that's the Great John Fedchock! kzbin.info/door/_n6ohPpSl-dX8iNuDK0PGw

[@fatheadthedog]

you mean Houston?

[@charlesmiller7283]

I'm no barnch man

[@leelarson6534]

Very underestimated man.

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Who?

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

Not one of Woody's best bands. I've never heard so many clams. Buddy Rich would have been furious on the bus afterwards. (How many of you get that joke?)

[@timpickel6015]

Body was known for ripping into his band members

[@timpickel6015]

Buddy

[@timpickel6015]

As far as playing the clams I hope you don't mean the saxophone player cuz he was playing in and out on his solos in Sonic great

[@timpickel6015]

Frank Thai Berry sound great on the tenor sax

[@timpickel6015]

This is a great man I hate to disagree

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

It's really sad watching Woody trying to act cool.

[@JiveDadson]

👎

[@rmo52]

No, what’s bad/sad/etc. is you writing like you know Woody and/or the band. Go back to playing Nintendo.

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

@@rmo52 well first, I've never owned nor played a Nintendo or any other video game in my entire life. So your assumptions are way off base. Secondly, we all see what we see. I don't have to "know" Woody or the band to see what I see. So once again, your argument is tenuous.
