5:16 Hah! For those who don't know, Greg Hopkins, the trumpet player featured on his arrangement of Here's That Rainy Day (6:40) also arranged Buddy's famous version of Nutville, also featured on the Roar of '74 like so many of the other charts featured in this concert. Funny to see this bit where the arranger himself of that piece jokingly suggests it only to get shot down by Buddy, though it is a shame we didn't get to see Nutville in this concert. On the other hand, it gives us a chance to see Hopkins, only 26 or 27 years old here (as of me writing this comment I'm the same age as he is here, dang!), show off such a rare but lovely arrangement and give an even more lovely performance on it.

Wow!! For me it is just one big challenge!! The musicians challenge each other to play better, the music challenges the musicians to play better and Buddy is on the drums much saying oh yeah take some of this, take some of that and so on and so on and so on!! Where do you see this now? Where can you go and hear this level of playing now? Constantly just great great shows, great music, great charts and the musicians have to stay as strong as buddy is!! All I can say is thankfully we can all look back and revisit all the performances that buddy and the band did all over the world. I don't think we'll ever get to experience anything like this ever again.

Yeah, I hear you! lol that was just Buddy's generation and all his fellow show biz guys from that era like Don Rickles, ect. I'm sure the guys in his band knew not to take any of that personally...nobody could get away with that now (it's just a different time it was actually more accepted back then), but sometimes I think he went a little overboard and some of it is painful to watch...poor Bob Crea. Btw, Bob's sax playing was phenomenal here and his duet with Pat Lababarbra was awesome! This lineup was my favorite with Charlie on lead trumpet! I watched a recent interview of him and he is still at it and looked great.

Thank you so much for uploading this great quality video I've been looking for of the Dorchester Hotel 1973 with Buddy Rich and his band. I have other copies but none with the quality of this one, 480p. The best I could ever get was 360p and that was the black & white version. I then later found a color version but poor quality. I always said "If I wait long enough, there will be other better version on KZfaq at some point." Sure enough, you came through. Thanks for sharing it. I really loved this particular event especially with Greg Hopkins on the Flugelhorn. That was such a beautiful piece and the audio quality really lets it sink into the soul. The audio on all three videos I have of this are great sounding, btw.

I have little doubt that big band music writers would consider it well written. And Buddy must have liked it, and he had a phenomenal ear. But it's not my thing. When I want to listen to mellow instrumental music, where there's little or no drum set focus, I tend to switch to Classical music for that.

Kenton's could be even "thicker" because of 5 tmpts, 5 'bones (often with one doubling on tuba), and 5 saxes. Buddy got some great sounds out of fewer players, and post-WWII, no big band swung like Buddy's, not Kenton, Basie, Herman, Don Ellis, NO ONE. Thanks for these terrific uploads!

the haircuts or lack of are as interesting as the music . "Something "by the Beatles , written by guitarist George Harrison is butchered by the bombastic arrangement but it is to be expected considering it's played by a style antithetical to Rock Music , plus no vocalist present. the saxophonist second from the left looks like John Lennon and the piano player looks like Harry Reims a popular Porn Star. Buddy Rich's spontaneous jokes are as stellar as his drumming. you can not record a powerful big band like this and get the same sonic sensations as being there. most people who watched the Johnny Carson show must of recognized that Buddy and Johnny loved each others company and both loved humor and drumming . Carson was a good drummer himself but not a pro . remember how Carson would nervously beat a pen like a drum stick against his desk when hosting his show and if Buddy was on and Carson turned and faced the camera Buddy would grab it !

I totally agree. Here he's using his band as a comedy foil but even worse, he had the reputation of being extremely abusive towards his band when off stage. Cursing, shouting, etc. In this show, some audience members are stupidly playing along with his childish comments about his band and Buddy's not astute enough to realize that he's sinking to the dumbest members of the audience. I love his playing but as a person, he sucked. And I hate the way everybody was kissing his ass.

Splotbang Buddy Rich had a great sense of humor . He came out of vaudeville, starting at the age of 18 mos. in his parents vaudeville act. That's where he learned to tell jokes, tap dance and sing, in addition to being billed as "TRAPS THE DRUM WONDER". How 'bout yourself ? Who writes your comedy, the Grim Reaper? His ego wasn't nearly as out of control as yours sounds like it is. Some of the funniest jokes are very intentionally the corniest. If it works, it works. Johnny Carson loved Buddy's banter. Maybe buy a sense of humor. You can pick one up dirt cheap from any street vendor in NYC, because most people already have one, and those who don't, are too unfunny to know it.
