Lord Buckley Club 7

[MikeBlitzMag]

Lord Buckley was light years ahead of his time, and more than a half century after his passing, it is obvious that he is still very much ahead of the curve. He is greatly, greatly missed.

[eg6roll]

Sounds like Bill Cosby lol

[Bombay742]

this cunt is hilarious

[1fairportconvention]

Why would Jesus want to return to Earth when he can be entertained by such talent as Lord Buckley.

[nervetonic1]

The Lord is well and inside you.

[ems2741]

At this very vonce, His Devine Hipness is digging infinity.

[farnumbp]

Love it. Is there anyone like him today?

[birdstuckinchimney]

@farnumbp Tom Waits

Best American ever. Lord B is as high as giraffe pussy here - in 1949! On TV! Awesome!

[justindryden]

@GordonMorrice the question is HIGH ON WHAT?

[GordonMorrice]

Best American ever.

Compare this with his appearance on Groucho Marx's show and the stunning clip from "The Nazz.." It's so wonderful to see him so much earlier. (It's also an inspiration to lose weight--he looked worlds better when he was older.) And yes, someone mentioned the Reginald Van Gleason III connection. I think that character was concocted a couple or so years later, along with all the Gleason characters, on Dumont's Cavalcade of Stars, and it's Lord Buckley all over again.

[WAKExxUPxxAMERICA]

i wish the sound quality was better..couldnt understand some of it

[toots12345]

the hipmeister tells us that god doesnt judge, only loves us.

[keepingitrandom]

Lord Buckley was an innovative, dynamic genius of language.His improvisational skills were beyond compare.A true talent.What passes for talent today is some simpleton ranting & raving on stage the same as if he were in a padded cell.

[terrryc]

Now you know where Reginald Van Gleason III came from. But this guy is much funnier...

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

Lord Buckley rules.

[doezeedoats]

He was only out of place because there weren't no black people (allowed, in those times), but his idea was: You don't know shit about shit, and the people i love, you may hate, but you don't know nothin! ..and he did. and he did. Lord, he did. God bless Lord Buckley.

[gjazz22]

Good point !!!!!!

[zwolfen]

Blessed be The Lord...I concur.

[jkoff76]

The first and maybe the best, standup comedian!!

[canucklehead1951]

He recycles some material from "Jonah and the Whale" here, doesn't he? No matter, I'm a huge fan and I wish there was more video of him.

[frozenhosen]

don't forget this is 1949 or so; Jonah is later.

[tbzeee]

you wonder where he's going with the bit until he hits the payoff around 4:45 and it's a good 'un. i'd like to think that wasn't a cig he was puffing ON TELEVISION

[frango1966]

Stockton's finest.

[citizenterryk]

love how he smashes his cigarette butt out on the stage floor!...or course, with His Lordship, ya have to wonder if that was a cigarette!!....

[shoblax]

This guy really is a lord...

[toots12345]

no he wasn't. but he was protected by some big gangsters, so that was probably the next best thing....(joke)

[AllenGinsbergOM]

A daisy among daylillies. OM !

[Mr911Carrera]

Pre Lenny damn this guy was great !!!!!!!

[reelden]

He was the hippest cat in the land at the time

[ThatGuyWithTheHat]

Praise it!

[icestation0]

Y'all might ingest Oliver Trager's humpin' bio on the Lord, "Dig Infinity!" Comes wit'a CD of the Lord's fine live workins' (Nazz, Black Cross, et al.) inter-be-twined wit' a radio interview of his Hi-ness by Studs Turkel. Make ready for the large charge. . .

[spadge321]

utterly snazz like fuckin jive baby !!

tiny/salford

[BooBots]

Ahh, most sweet and lovely. But, can anyone tell me what was the last line?, right after "...if it wasn't for us beat-up sinners, you wouldn't have anything to do, would you? And the Lord said..." Couldn't quite make out what it was He said. Could you?

[bunnyrunner]

He said "take a little, leave a litle, that's what the lord said." Classic! Thanks for posting!

[yourpaljc]

Beautiful!

[toots12345]

Man this is just toooooooooooooo priceless! Thanks so much for posting it - I never would have thought I'd see his Lordship in action like this - just amazing that this footage has been preserved. Hope there's more somewhere that will re-surface.
