BUDDY RICH - AT THE TOP
DVD
Back to DVD
Recorded at the Top of the Plaza in Rochester, New York on
February 6, 1973, and captures drum legend Buddy Rich in his
absolute prime. Syndicated by PBS in that year, it was the first time
thousands of drummers were exposed to Buddy in a full-length
concert setting, and many drummers continue to name this
program as a prime influence on their own playing. Not seen in its
entirety since it was first broadcast, it remains one of the most
sought-after shows ever recorded by Buddy. It includes definitive
versions of Love for Sale, the odd time signature-laden Time
Check, his famed Norwegian Wood, Basically Blues, and the
astonishing closer West Side Story. Also features a rare bonus clip:
an unbelievable unaccompanied drum solo, not seen since its
broadcast in May of 1978! Special DVD Features: Three rare bonus
clips of Buddy, including his appearance as a mystery guest on
What's My Line from 1974, a television performance on the Sid
Mark Show, and a solo from one of his very last performances at
Disneyland in 1984. DVD Running Time: 87 minutes. |
