  • obercool!

  • They could afford a helicopter... But no live bull... I dont understand this...

  • @CubesUsedBikes HA ha ha keep studying and stay thirsty mi amigo!

  • When I was a kid I thought Captain Kirk from Star Trek and Herb Albert were the same person..

  • HERB ALPERT, THANKS A LOT FOR SHARE WITH ME MY LONELINESS IN THOSE DAYS, and for you the one who shared this beautiful song... "GOD BLESS YOU"

  • helicopter must have been noisy

  • The poor bull...

  • I was at the San Antonio Riverwalk this year and requested a mariachi band perform this. It's stil a classic. Thanks for posting.

  • Arrrrrrr. Fab'lous.

  • A classic!!!! LOVED hearing this song as a kid. Thanks for posting it!

  • Awesome!!!

  • The Lonely Bull never dies!!!!

  • love this jam

  • Lip sync on the brass and the rest...ole!!

  • This video is labeled incorrectly, the sign at 2:14 clearly says "Grand Opening 1967". So this feature is not 1962. It just does not look like 1962 either.

  • que estupides, se escucha claro la mandolina y ningun pastel se le ocurrio salir tocandola, por ultimo el de las maracas jajaja

  • los tres delincuentes agarraron para su cancion el tono principal de este rolonon

  • Reminds me of what has been lost in this world. I sure miss the days when I could just turn on the radio in the car, and wonderful music like this was just so common and everywhere. '60s-'70s-'80s music was so taken for granted at the time; and great. I miss both the music, and the times. They were great--likely not to be repeated. The times and music now are....for the most part, not so cool. For a moment---a tune like this brings 'em back...*sigh*

  • Already gone past the 400,000 views mark!! 8-)

  • EmOÇiOnante... "¸)

  • This is the best "history" ever. My dad used to play this on vinyl. It brings back so many good memories. I like all types of mus but this is still so outrageously cool.

  • Terrific! This was a lead in to movies at our Drive-in theater in 1968, then you'd see either the "Pink panther" or "The Tiajuana Toads" before everything went PC.

  • Essa musica marcou muito a minha infancia,ela me faz lembrar de um tempo que não volta mais.Muito linda.

  • The beginning of this song was the outgoing message on my answering machine for much of the early nineties, before "VOICEMAIL." LOL I still have the cassette tape. I love some HA & the TB!

  • Los Tres Delincuentes!

  • are you sure that this was filmed in 62? looks more like 66 or 67ish

  • @MrsClippit I believe it was filmed in 1967. The song was released in 1962. And this got Herb and the Tijuana Brass off and running throughout the decade of the 1960's.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow!! This took me waaay back 2 when I was a kid. TY 4 the walk thru memory lane

  • Great song. Inhumane sport.

  • so very, very 60s. played it on piano along with many of their other hits.

  • I wonder what happened to the rest of his original band members...I know they had a sort of "reunion" in the 70's for one album they made, but I wonder where their careers went on to. Does anyone have a good source that one can reference? These guys were so great together. I have wonderful memories of hearing the TJB when I was a child. Thanks for posting this!

  • @thueron same thing....same thing. I love it!

  • @Flavio9021 Thanks! Yes indeed, where I grew up in Tampa, my neighbors had the TJB cranked up on Sunday mornings, and what great sounds-and great memories ! Long live Herb Alpert and the TJB!!! :-).

  • I love this tune

  • YOU WILL NEVER GET A BETTER SALSA THEN HERB ALBERT & THE T.J. BRASS. NOT ONLY THEY ARE SO PROFESSIONAL PLAYING THE INSTRUMENTS; BUT THEY HAVE THE AMOR & TALENT THAT I NEVER EVER BEFORE SEEN IN A JAZZ OR POP GROUP IN THE WORLD!!! NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE WILL EVER TOUCH THEM AS A GROUP!!!!! GOD BLESS1

  • I remember seeing this on t.v. when I was about 4 and a half. For the longest time I thought I'd imagines Herb and the boys in a bullring. Still a great song. Thanks for the video upload.

  • Amazing song....could listen to it for hours.... His idea was to bring you to an afternoon he experienced....it totally worked

  • herb alpert and tijuana brass......man cant get better than this. Now, is this video filmed in Tijuana. and if so, which bull ring. I live in tijuana. I dont recognize the bull ring.

  • @kuzak1962

    This is the old downtown El Toreo de Tijuana plaza (now torn down). I grew up in those very "sunny-side" stands (behind in General Admission). This was a wood and I-beam hazard, but so superior to Playas!

  • @kuzak1962 este toreo fue demolido en el 2009 fue icono de la ciudad aqui tambien toco Santana

  • I like playing Red Dead Redemption to this...

  • Always loved this song! but, the the part I always wait for is the female singer,

  • Comment removed

  • Gotta love that cat 1

  • When I was a little girl my Dad would play this on a big reel to reel stereo system and I would listen with the headphones. The sound was fabulous even then!

  • @txmomma2g My dad, too! Reminds me of being four.

  • This is plainly a non-live "lip synched" video. The music is the studio recording, Do you see any mics, amps, PA columns, or patch cords?

  • @kevind754 Like my grandpap was in A/R at Capital and he says HA&TJB was just a name. The rest was overdubbing of canned studio tapes. They were shit canning session players like crazy and switching to robots. HA&TJB was a total schlock. An inside joke because Tijuana Brass is slag for junk jewelry.

  • Guau hasta me emocioné, tanto que quería encontrar imágenes muy antiguas del área donde vivo (En una de las calles que están atrás de donde era el toreo) y esta toma está excelente se vé el Blvd Agua Caliente, se vé a grandes rasgos como estaba todo por ese rumbo, muchas gracias Herb Alpert, como dijo alguien por aquí esto es un documento histórico para los Tijuanenses que amamos a nuestra ciudad y que nos gusta ver como se ha ido transformando a través del tiempo.

  • @KARLARIC1 Hola es el toreo ese lugar??? a mi me toco ver las ruinas que quedaron en 2005 cundo fui a Tijuana =( yo soy de Mexicali, igual en otro vídeo sale el antiguo hipódromo, mas no se si funcione como tal porque ahi construyeron el estadio caliente.

  • @Capidiego1

    Hola, el toreo que sale en este video es el que dices, el que estaba en el Blvd. Agua Caliente, el Hipodromo desde hace muchos años solo funciona para apuestas.

    Saludos

  • this song is for you Mr.kermeen anita the dentist

  • LOS TRES DELINCUENTES!!! viva México !

  • I started playing trumpet in 3rd grade when they still had music programs in school by the time I was in 6th grade I was first trumpet in the school band and went through Jr HS and Hs playing in the school bands I remember coming home from school and putting on my Herb alpert records and playing along Good memories

  • I have no idea how 18 people could dislike this video.

  • I actually enjoyed a concert here in San Antonio, Texas with my father many many years ago. Lauri Auditorium....IT WAS FABULOUS!

  • Dude, thank you so much for posting jems like this!! Before Youtube you couldn't find footage like this anywhere.

  • I think I could probably handle the moracas. Doesn't seem to difficult.

  • @ The Old Tijuana Bullring , saw them in concert there , Memorable !

  • @ The Old Tijuana Bullring , saw them in concert there , Memorable !

  • that was desi arnaz on the horn.

  • His first big single... love it. Please check out my tribute to Herb. TRIBUTE TO HERB ALPERT by Rob Russell Davies

  • All this time I thought I was the only one who listen to this song over & over again when I was a kid back in the 70's... And fantasized about whip cream delight girl...

  • He made Mariachi cool!irie blue

  • At age 9 I had a little record player in my bedroom and I'd play this song over and over again, feeling sorry for the bull who had the whole world cheering against him, and so grateful to Herb Alpert for honoring the bull with this beautiful song. What I'd give to see him live, here's hoping he tours to Canada someday.

  • Gran Tema, Gran Tema! :')

  • You made my mom's day. She loves this song above all others from this band.

  • Great artist (who only sang once) but his trumpet songs are classic(he is also giving a lot back to the music world)...

  • this song (and all of Herb Alpert's songs) stir memories of my dad and his love of music.....

  • Man, I wish I could play like him...I stand on my front porch and blast the hell out of that thing.

  • God this song brings back memories! When i was a kid my mom had one of those t.v's with the record player built in and the big ass speakers on the side! She would crank this song. it's like being in 77 all over. Thanks for posting this vid.

  • @beerbellygdog You too, huh?

  • @beerbellygdog wow me too...i would dance around to it too...the album with the girl in whip cream huh?

  • @teacrazymama I friend knows the "girl in whipped cream". She and her husband lives in New Mexico today.

  • @beerbellygdog yeah and it reminds me of using the record player to cover my masturbation

  • I have had this song in my head since 1963.....never knew what it was..it was there...playing over and over and over...I have now found it and know who it is and am at last at peace.

  • LIkewise. My parents had this record and many others from the TJBrass. Such memories. I listened to them all the time.

  • great song...too bad its about an animal that will be slowly tortured to death.

  • This is the 45 version..they'd lost the Multi-tracks when it came time to do a Stereo verion for the Lp,so,they'd slammed th 45 on one side,then Alpert parroted his original trumpet on the right,making it seem like a Duophonic version,but,it wasn't..The Mono version finally showed up on Herb's "Greatest Hits" CD,issued in 1999.

  • What a fantastic song! Absolutely beautiful and wonderful!

  • Brings back memories as a kid....mom & dad loved this song.....me 2!

  • Awesome as always! Thank you!

  • Gee, that Herb Alpert was really a handsome guy, whatever happen to him? Still alive?

  • Not usually a fan of brass intruments but the trumpet kicks freakin arse in this recording! Makes me picture surfing or a road trip. Lovin it.

  • my only complaint is that the song isn't long enough. i could listen to it for hours

  • @kevintheomanharris the melody is crack

  • @kevintheomanharris That cause you don't know shit about music

  • Love this - had all his albums.

  • I've always loved this song. This was their very first hit from 1962, and I believe this was the one that launched the A&M label. I just became aware of how much that guitar sounds like it might have been influenced by the sound of Duane Eddy. At least, that's how it sounds to me. Great find!

  • @57Will Duane Eddy? Maybe. The style you are hearing is a very traditional flamenco style. Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Mexico, especially Mexico. You hear it all over the place. Great stuff.

  • @57Will yes the ventures did cover this song as well.

  • Love the Tijuana Brass! Beautiful harmony.

  • I've loved this tune for years!

  • This is one of my favorite tunes! I never knew what this was called or how to find it. I typed in Herb Alpert, and tah-dah! Thanks Herb!

  • still one of the coolest songs ever....

  • Muito bom!

  • This bullring was demolished arround 3 years ago.

  • When I was 8 yrs old in 1962, every Sunday I would watch the bullfights live on T.V. It was broadcasted at a Tujuana T.V. station.

  • Grew up with the LPs - still in love with it all - Go Herb - GO!

  • Is that really Petula Clark on background vocals?

  • Wonderful song ! But I hate bullfights!

  • herb rules

  • @atirisdes i think it proves that you should have got blown up at the Malvinas in 1982 with the other cunts who died back then.Fucking troll.

  • @camelknicks Now now. If someone does not appreciate great music like TJB's "The Lonely Bull," that does not call for the death penalty, but atirisdes should go soak his head. Maybe that will help.

  • @atirisdes How can you not like this music? What DO you like?

  • That man didn't play trumpet, he made it TALK to you.

  • Just great.

    Thanks for posting.

  • I am Herb Alpert fan since i was a little boy,,,,i dislike bullfight,,but i love Alpert's music,,,

  • Herb Alpert, the living legend. Smoothest horns and tunes to stir your soul.

  • you know what? i love this song but it totes lip syncing to the nth degree.

  • This man was so good lookin that he should have gone into acting! He was so multi talented. A musician & an owner of A&M records. I'm sure that he would have had no problem conquering the big screen!

  • WE WILL NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN...BRAVO

  • @pladahitz no, i have invented the time machine. but i wont tell you the secret because i dont want shit like this to happen again

  • Great Music from an American Master!

  • I remember getting a Herb Alpert and the TJ brass trumpet song book for my 10th birthday. I loved this song but couldn't hit the high notes on the intro. That frustrated me to no end. I quit trumpet in 8th grade and switched to guitar. I recently got back into trumpet (at 50 y/o) and was amazed that I didn't lose my lip even after about a 37 year lay off. I'm getting up to speed and can hit an E natch over high C. Hitting an A back in school just about killed me, so I am proud of myself.

  • ONE HELL OF A HORN PLAYER TAKES ME BACK YEARS GREAT MUSIC. THANK YOU FOR POSTING WHAT CLASS.

  • Very Good ,the Best of the Best all of His Songs

  • Que pena non termos con mas frequencia las musicas de Herb Alpert & Tijuanana Brass, que embalou muchos casal apacionados na decada de 1970! Maravilloso....

  • i'm the real lonely bull .................

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG THANK YOU FOR THE POST

  • where is the chick singer?

    kinda like floyd great gig in the sky

    no lead vocal

  • I had the cassette when I was a kid. Lonely bull was my favorite.

  • I never knew the name of this song until tonight. I learned the name of this song on Family Matters!

  • i due recall back in 1962 .that was a very different time.i never forget.

  • What a great song. 48 years later and I still love this song. Timeless...

  • @Michshnly, Your sentiments mirror mine. I first listened to THE LONELY BULL back in 1964 or 5 it was played by a band called the Arena Brass. They also did other beautiful melodies which have made a huge impression thru my life. Herb Alpert & his band are as great as can be. Viva real music. 124Toeknee@yahoo (60 yrs)

  • My dream its to play the maracas in a Tijuana Brass cover band.

  • STILL GOOD LOOKING

  • Heavens to Murgatroid! I remember seeing this TV special way back in the 60's when I was a kid! Brings back a lot of wonderful memories....when my mom bought a nice stereo at Sears back then, she went out & bought a lot of albums...many of them were Herb Albert & the TB. My whole family fell in love with the group! THANK YOU so much for sharing this delightful footage with us!

  • one of the best vids ever !!!!

    many thanks

  • HERB HAD THELOOKS ,THE SAAVY AND TALENT,FOR ITZ TIME

  • Para mis amigos Tijuanos y la plaza QEPD...que tiempos aquellos

  • Yes, it is. A favorite of mine, 53 years old now, i remember playing my trombone (!) to this in the 5th grade (among many of his other ditty's). Did he know how iconic he would become?

  • Im 41 years old, so pretty much Im like alot of other people my age who got to know this because of their parents listening to this. What great music. My question is, Is this video filmed in the bull ring that´s in the playas area of Tijuana.

  • This is great,,,What has become of this great trumpeter

  • lol what i am listening to?  xD

  • Has anyone noticed that Herb and his band are between steps 9 and 11?

  • The 1960's, when music was real.

  • The bull ring by the sea.

  • The bull ring by the sea.

  • This is awesome!

    

  • This is great!!! You had a great opportunity!! thanks!!!!

  • completely not playing. Totally lip synced, if even attempted to sync.

  • Does anyone know who the lady singer is who sings Ahhhh at 1:01 and at 1:41? She has a haunting quality. The answer is probably lost to time, but maybe someone will know.

  • Yeah if the intro was done with RC Heliocoptyor, then it was sure done with much care. thanks

  • !Ole! Bravissimo!! Encore! Live or studio, I really love this particular track! Can't have enough of Herb's sound!

  • OK, this is not the bullring by the Sea. Spain?

  • They tore down that bullring in '07. There is a SD U-T article online from 2007 that shows a map of where the bullring was, and on the map you can make out that the "shaded block" is the same as the block containing the bullring in the video... the area around the bullring itself hasn't changed much in the 43 years, but the lower river zone in the background has totally changed... they built a concrete channel for the river, and now the river valley zone is all built up...with a mall & freeway.

  • Imagine playing this over the speakers at Wal-Mart at the first of the month when all the Mexicans come in to shop.

  • Yeh I dont know. You r explation makes most sense. Thank you.

  • Nice mellow. How in the world did they get the opening shot?

  • @gwagg68 probably an RC helicopter.

  • Beautiful I have the Herb Alpert collection on my Ipod...

  • I remember the half time show at our high school, in '68 all the music was Tijuana Brass. We had a 17yo kid who would march out to the middle of the field by himself, and blow the "entrada de los toros" and make the hair stand up on the back of your neck! man was he good!!! then we would join him for this song, good stuff!

  • delinquent habits los tres delincuentes jeje

  • here ya go, Russ...-

  • I remember laying with Dad listening to Herb Alpert (on vinyl) this song in particular. Sunday after mass, my Dad and my other Brothers and Sisters all listening together. My Dad wiping away his tears as he prepared to take us back to my Mom's. Ahhh Bittersweet memories

  • The info above says "1962"

    I was under the impression of watching it myself circa 1968/69...

    The sign at 2:15 read GRAND OPENING 1967

    Now, I'm all confused...

    By the way, I met Herb Alpert back in 1988.

    What a gentleman he is.

  • @kanarva The video is footage from the first Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass special, sponsored by the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which aired on April 24, 1967 on CBS, five years after Alpert had a single with it.

  • Boy not only did Herb Alpert make a trumpet totally cool, but he managed to really pull emotion out of it.

  • Óooleeee!!!!

  • Great video. The guys with the electric guitars are not plugged in?

  • @phillippatterson1 No more than Herb is actually blowing the trumpet...

  • no one knows the impact this music made on my life....with my mother and father..i miss them....lotz of good memories

  • @pladahitz The great thing about music, is that it not only evokes good memories but it also can soothe and mend a broken or saddened heart.This is a beautiful song,I hope it brings joyful memories to you.GOD BLESS YOU

  • Hey charger4079,

    I don't know about pladahitz but this song does bring back a ton of memories for me! I used to play the trumpet back in those days and I had memorized every song Herb played. Yes it now does help mend a sad heart. By the way, I'm returning to the trumpet after many years and will be playing in church from now on!

    God bless you too!

  • @legalrule Good for you!Church is always a good place to reflect and remember the good things GOD has given us-Just like this LEGENDARY song.Peace to you my friend!!!

  • Man I'm with you 100%!!

    A ton of memories of me practicing with my friends, going over and over the notes of the Tiuana Brass.

    I too miss my mother and father, god bless you pladahitz!!

  • @pladahitz

    Same.........

  • my favorite..Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass The Lonely Bull Video 1962

  • Brilliant video. Thanks for posting. Herb Alpert a very special and unique sound.

  • A la comunidad You Tube : estoy buscando la cancion : " Tijuana " con el Sr. Herb Alpert .Alguien la tendra por ahi ? Muchisimas Gracias . No la he

    podido conseguir . Gracias

  • My parents too always listened to great records and tapes (the latter in the car stereo) and I thank them for helping me build up my good taste for music. I remember listening to "Whipped cream and other delights" album non- stop! I'm glad there are more people here who share such experiences! Unfortunately very few kids today have this opportunity as most parents listen to crap music more and more asyears go by. A shame... We are fortunate, guys!

  • @tiotimbo I stil listen to this day to herp alpert......they are releasing his earlier works...thank god. I love Rotation...and Behind the rain.....
