"ST. LOUIS BLUES MARCH" BY GLENN MILLER

[PERVERSOS3]

RECUERDO HABER COMPRADO EL DISCO Y ME SENTIA GRANDE O COMO LOS GRANDES CONOCEDORES DE LA MUSICA

[GoCardinals45]

I always hear 0:09 on the Blues game shows......

[mytilludie]

we're playing this in band....

[arejayseeottawa]

Me, too.

[dskyyksd]

I could've marched all the way from Normandy to Berlin listening to this and never gotten tired of it.

[bbjornst07]

@dskyyksd Some did!

[scoobydoorocks10]

I just thought of a little joke:

think ya can make a noise with all this kesha and linkin park bullcrap? here's how ya make a noise.

[Hypohair]

Any idea where i can find the entire piece pachydermification?

Awesome it is even if bits are missing..yet a shame

[pachyidermification]

A large chunk of this has been edited out! What a shame. The bulk of the sax solo is chopped out with a very nonsensical paste that is out of the form altogether, and the entire trumpet solo is missing. Why?

[adanhawki]

Could it be said that this type of music helped us win WWII?

[scoobydoorocks10]

@adanhawki YEP!

[SatchmoSings]

@adanhawki At the time this was recorded, I don't think it had all this echo-chamber on it.

[bbjornst07]

@adanhawki It gave the troops a taste of home. Bands like this would go on tour if you will. So yeah, some, but not as big of a help as fighting men, bombs and the like.

@KEATONAPOCALYPSE -- The Louisville Palace is at 625 S. Fourth St. in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.

[north021884]

Just saw the Glenn Miller Story again tonight at a big theater with a ton of older couples there with their arms around one another. Everyone applauded after each song. So much fun and so touching. A huge thanks to the Louisville Palace for the wonderful old movie series they do each summer!

[CanadaCajanek21]

lets gooooo blues

[scoobydoorocks10]

0:00 Replay

0:33 where it starts to get funky

also a quick question:

do you think that this should be played before games instead of that disrespectful kanye west or p diddy or black eyed peas music? please respond if you agree, or just simply thumbs up. thank you.

[glowjr2212]

@scoobydoorocks10 strongly agrees!

[FlierFrank172]

@scoobydoorocks10 ...The stuff those people you mentioned perform isn't music.....it's NOISE.  Tribal chanting.

[scoobydoorocks10]

@FlierFrank172 heck yeah!

[Oldschoolhockey91]

@scoobydoorocks10

Absolutely! This song is pure class and it a testament to the history of the Blues franchise. St. Louis is an a-class franchise with a very bright future and passionate fans who truly love the game. When St. Lou came to my town Buffalo, they are just so knowledgeable and classy all the way.

I would love to go to St. Lou and watch a game. Go Blues

[classical38]

of course it should be played before games! by all means, without question! AND IN IT'S ORIGINAL, CLASSIC FORMAT! not the "hyped up" nonsense they put today! but nice, old fashioned JAZZ!

[FlierFrank172]

@scoobydoorocks10 ....That crap produced by those you mentioned isn't music....it's noise......tribal chanting.

[jsaab3]

There must have been four lame ass blackhawk fans view this video. lol LET'S GO BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUES!!!!

[WestyBadger1]

4 people are peeved off

[creole888]

Awesome March..............we (St Augustine HS Band from New Orleans, La) played this for the 1986/87 season

[elms91]

I miss the days when the blues played this before games, now it's all black eyed peas and kanye west

[fozngrace]

Old KMOX "And the St. Louis Blues are on the air" Done duringthe drum solo by the great Dan Kelly! At 0:23 I rememberthis as if it was yesterday. Brought to you by Busch beer, cool and refreshing! And Slyman appliances!

[stlbluesgirl100]

LET'S GO BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEESSSSSS­SS!!!!!!!!!!!

[antikoerper256]

"blasting right in the generals face"

[BurninJive]

Have you ever heard anything more pleasant than this? Christ Almighty.

[fdobbs37]

It doesn't get any better! Thanks.

[ir1956ish]

One of the best things about jazz is that it's all about the music and dancing and good times- it goes right to your feet!

[RockabillyWilly1]

Just love IT!!!

[MaxCruise73]

Three people have the blues or don't like the Blues.

[Alixx2497]

let's go BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUES

[gunner16ga]

WISH WE HAD THIS TO IN 65, GREAT JAZZ AND WOULD HAVE HELPED AS WE ALL KNEW WHERE WE WERE OFF TO

[almeisam]

Back when I was in high school, we played this in our marching band. Loved it ever since. Thanks for posting it.

[sammyb1929]

the army should march to this today!

[mr2cool4]

i really don't get how the 3 people who clicked disslike dont like it :/

must be completely taste less or brain dead :L.

[AndrewWCo]

@mr2cool4 Bieber fans I guess

[mr2cool4]

@AndrewWCo

must be lol

[goldcoastflyer]

@AndrewWCo Isnt it cool how beiber haters all like the same music?

[TheDrummerboi94]

@mr2cool4 or just have different tastes to you ? ...

[phase1775]

@mr2cool4 seriously.

[1967mustanggta]

I have to question this scene in the movie - but what the heck! LOVE the movie. LOVE the song. This is a hard hitting radical sound in it day.

[goback3spaces]

Love the scene in "The Glenn Miller Story" where he tells the band to jazz up the stuffy old march, and out comes St. Louis Blues March.

[dercarsus]

One of his best; just too good...

[souldiegirl]

I keep thinking this played in a Jerry Lewis movie where he dances down a long staircase. Possibly Cinderfella...not sure. But anyway this is so AWESOME. I'm playing it with my speakers cranked up...let the neighbors complain..who cares!! lol!

[lovehamsters14]

3 people have no taste

[scottykritz]

Love this song! I can still remember the marching band drill/dance routine we did to this piece back in high school (35 years ago.....) lol Some things you just NEVER forget.... :)

[curotto7451]

I like this song

[beatlespersun]

We're playing this in Jazz band :) I cant wait its really a great song

BTW I just got in & Im the piano player which makes me even happier

[welder541]

Boy, What a different time in america when this song was written & recorded. No political correctness:-):-):-). No RAP music just for starters. America was a tight country then,not like today. Kinda makes you wish you could go back in time. And maybe then not come back to present day, knowing what you have to look forward to when you return.

[someonespadre]

@welder541 more fantasy than reality. America and people were just the same then as they are now; the religion of the almighty buck is the same as has been for the past 500 years. Unrealistic nostalgia may make us feel good but it isn't based in any sort of reality.

[mpo1107]

In summarizing Miller's military career, General Jimmy Doolittle said, “next to a letter from home, that organization was the greatest morale builder in the European Theater of Operations.”

[Perilcrown]

glenn miller bleeds blue!

[friedie1jeff]

I absolutely love this. It is fabulous.

[stlracing289]

LETS GO BLUES!!



[EbonyMan662]

My  dad told me about this song .He was in WW2 . My dad is gone now but to hear this song make's me think of him .Keep them coming and thanks

[ixby46]

they were doing a tribute in my home town and the air force band played this and the crowds went wild thanks

[Aredwinter29]

Music from the 40s and 50s is great. The sound that the instruments in the orchestra or band makes when they come together is fantastic. And this is one of the best big band songs out there for sure.

[ghsrunner94]

that trumpet gives me chills at the beginning!

[Muggleton2104]

love the trumpets at the start

[hinodecho69]

The unofficial theme song of the US Army Air Force... :O)

[snoops71]

This song is a classic, and my favorite by Glenn Milller.

[philip0072]

played this in the car stuck at traffic lights in manchester very loud 2 OAPs ladies came up and asked me for a dance I said sorry ladies the lights could go on to green

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

This is eternal music. VERY few "musicians" of today will still be remembered 65 years from now and Glenn Miller and the other great swing bands will be going strong for another 65 years. Sign me "Another sax man"

[LordoftheKaty]

morte like another 65 thousand years!!!

[Quiksilverqt]

i absolutely adore glenn miller. my band played this piece for our patriotic concert and its amazing to play. really fun. most of the band kids had no idea who glenn miller was though. had to give a music lesson. haha.

[kennyrocksable]

There is a great interpretation of this tune by Duane Eddy that i have on CD, but i'm afraid to post it because he recorded it for Reprise Records, which is part of WMG-and you know how they are with us YouTubers...NOT on friendly terms if ya know what i mean. It's a great rocker, however it can't compete with Glenn's version.

[Frankhaghi]

Did Glenn Miller write this piece?

[nealbfinn]

WC Handy composed it. Not sure but I believe that Jerry Grey (Miller's staff arranger), wrote the arrangement. Miller himself was a skilled arranger, but by the time Miller was leading the AAC service band he had doled out most of the arranging duties to other people, mainly Grey.

[4205lr]

@nealbfinn Ray McKinley also had some input on this arrangement, although he wasn't an arranger.

[whitefalcon64]

His best interpretation with any doubt

[DocWilde57]

when 'tight' does doesnt really describe it adequately...thanks.

[TheSpellslinger]

I love Glenn Miller

[fredbirdroxyoursox71]

GO BLUESSSSS!!!

[TheMexicanJulio]

@fredbirdroxyoursox71 The soundtrack for THE BEST HOCKEY FANS AROUND!!!

[wheatsandgrain]

LETSS GOOO BLUEEEES

[prunellapussywuggums]

try and sit still-bet you can't. wonderful song from a bib band icon.

[sciipi]

Where is the Trumpet SOLO!

[viktorvaldemar]

big band muzak

[malaisennui]

F U! ,,, William Handys' Father told his son that his compositions could not be played in a barrel house, it was originally symphonic,, a great tune to whistle while walking home from a great night with your Lover.

[BluzNBirds]

For anyone not in STL and a Blues fan.... This is played after EVERY St. Louis Blues home game.

LET'S GO BLUUUUES!

[jert38]

Let's GO Blues!!!!

[goback3spaces]

This song seems to be the high point of the Army Air Force Band.

[medhist2006]

I took up the trombone waaaay back then becuase of Glenn Miller:)

[sweetstuff64]

well thats what i want to do!!!! mates have told me, their dad x

[generationll]

Have been listening to this song since 1993

[USRoute66]

The drummer on this piece is Ray McKinley.

[beki611]

And McKinley took over the band in the 50s and I think he led it for 10 years.

[EchoRomeoIC]

Im 23 and I am totally in love with Glenn Miller...and this is one of the best songs he put together.....I play the trombone to this day because of him....My dad is 74 and introduced me to him at 8....and to this day I still love it...

[wjerseyfan]

Does anybody know the name of the drummer in this classic?

[cruddiestcrudever]

I don't suppose it was Gene Krupa was it? probably not since I think this song was played by the Army air force band and would have had air force only members...So it was probably an unknown air force band drummer :)

Sorry for thinking out loud :P

[beki611]

Gene Krupa played for Benny Goodman before leaving to form his own band in the late 40s. As a teenager in the early 60s I saw Gene Krupa playing his drums on a bar at his place in downtown Manhattan. Coolest drummer ever.

[dale1966gto]

Big Band rocks and rules. What would have happened if Glenn had survived the war and come back to the States to finish out the 1940's? More good stuff like this?

RIP, Mr. Miller. Glenn Miller forever!

[tinaturntable]

This to me has be one the sexiest pieces of music ever recorded!

[kingaid]

ABSO-BLOOMIN-LUTELY!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr! Respect!!!!

[4205lr]

This Tex Beneke leading the new Glenn Miller band in 1946.

[generationll]

[jimtope]

I'm 39, and my parents raised me on this kind of music. I love it!

[kingaid]

[chrisrko1982]

I'm a huge Blues fan (St. Louis Blues that is!). This give me chills everytime I hear it. Classic Blues baby!!! Love it!!!
