I've watched Buddy play live many times, even got to meet him. This is him at his very best. The greatest drummer of the 20th century. A legend. 🥁

I’ve heard some young drummers say, “Oh, there’s drummers now who can play all that and more.” I beg to differ. Maybe they are good technically, but nobody can swing as hard as Buddy.

Note to myself: 12:00

Excellent my preferit... nessuno come lui the beast🎉❤👍

35:30 Patrice Rushen, yes . . . P A T R I C E R U S H E N ! ! ! ! !

Amazing. The G.O.A.T. strikes again. As great as the greatest rock drummers were, and I love em all, none could touch Buddy.

Listen from 8'01" to 9'13" ...it's incredible , he was not only the master of cymbals ( go to 31'26" - 34'00" frame )... he was also the king of brushes...

The double c at the end of time check is actually insane, Mr Stahl is a beast

This know Set slaps

Feliz día d,San Juan, one love

Greatest EVER. HANDS DOWN.

Can't believe Rit, on his big budget, he's using a backing track and backing vocals.

Ironic he's using a slide on a tune dedicated to Wes Montgomery.

Dave Stahl!!!

The ensemble playing in this incarnation of the band was particularly tight. Dave Stahl was superb back then.

Great sound and performance ❤

Playing this in the background while I’m doing house stuff. Job never finished because I need to watch the video to believe it.

I've never seen anything from Buddy Rich where he wasn't awe-inspiring. There are drummers who come close (perhaps Dave Weckl and a couple of others), but no-one I am aware of can surpass Rich. If you claimed Rich was the best ever, I wouldn't be able to argue the point. What is interesting is how much the band seems to me to veer into "jazz-fusion" territory and as usual, Rich excels, as does the band. I imagine his reputation as a punishing and difficult task master didn't deter high calibre players from wanting to play with "the best".

Does anybody know who the tenor saxophonist is? Incredible solo.

Patrice Rushing on keyboards. Outstanding!

Absolute bliss can't stop listening 😅

I love LR's live performances better than his records. No whiny saxophone! Great keyboardists! 😊😊😊

Brushes and everything. Outstanding drumming and a very young band. Classic Buddy.

Is this available as an album anywhere?

gotta love tower of power, what is hip is an awesome song without all the slap, love marcus' version.

Prolly my fave Buddy solo; the sound of that snare and bass drum not to mention the toms just crisp and clean. Snare + BD combo's lol are at ah another level, just freaking w o w!! Beyond belief. No need for double bass jive, that's how you play kids! Peace

Holy Fuck, Buddy rich is until now the GOAT.

His band looks straight outta high school

Lord Have Mercy!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! 🙏 ❤ 🌹 Buddy 🌹 ❤ 🙏

31:20 Buddy performs a dazzling cymbal solo. 36:36 The West Side Story drum solo.

SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS ON THE PLANET PLAYING PHENOMENAL MUSIC!!!!!!

FANTASTIC. WHAT A BLAST👍👍♥️♥️🦋🦋🌈🌈🌞♥️♥️♥️👍👍

Gonna watch him live in a few weeks at JazzMi here in Milan, Italy 🇮🇹

When I was young, his technique captivated me for decades. Now, even though the technique is still unbelievable, I can see his true genius. He created "an experience" EVERY TIME the man touched the drums. For example, when he comes out of the first drum solo of West Side in this concert: 34:40. Go back and experience that. He feels it, the crowd feels it, the band feels it, we feel it 50 years later! It was one moment among thousands Buddy created and we are all so lucky to have had them captured!

F*cking hell! This is by far the best concert I've seen on RUclips from Buddy Rich, both musically and in terms of drum sound. The arrangements never go too far and lose the melody. And BR is mature and restrained (for him) in his playing. Like Dave Weckl, BR gets better and better as he ages. This is just pure magic.

The zone ........

Eargasm!

This is pure magic!

Buddy's drums have a deeper tone here, I think he is using Ludwig, here rather than the Slingerlands which I believe sounded higher in tone, not a hit to Slingerland (I love my Slingies) but just a difference in tone. Also, that that large china seems to add a great extra punch.

The energy 🤯
