Satchmo never moved out of Queens even though he could have lived any where in the world his house is a testament to keeping it real in life and after death. His house is a museum now in Queens NY. He played for Kings and Queens but always knew where home was and never got to go back. May we be able to keep it real as he did. If you get the chance go and see it sometime at 3456 107th St Corona NY (real close to La Guardia Airport). I woke up with similar voice from a COMA in 2005. See vid res.
The people in the crowd are all as stoned as they would be at a Phish concert... except they know how to dress like a classy, suave ass motherfucker. The Jazz age,.... so much swag.
@dwl82iw Haha. The audience IS dead - well at least 99% of them. It's the 1% of them moving and clapping at the end and one of them was an East Asian woman lol! The majority are stiff and reserved like most typical Brits (and yes I am British!)! Jazz is NOTHING LIKE classical music. It's SOUL music. Can't you hear/feel that? Art is meant for the living and should be a participatory experience! It's not supposed to be a removed dead experience for polite clapping at the end. Yeeesh!
TOO BAD WE DONT HAVE A LOUIE ARMSTRONG OR A FRANK SINATRA OR A SAMMY DAVIS JR NOW DAYS THAT WAS GREAT MUSIC AND SHOWMANSHIP! NOTHING LIKE MOST OF THE CRAP NOW DAYS.
@mebuddylee34 Oh how right you are. Back in '92 I was in New Orleans and the sounds WOW they still live in my memory. When I went out in the evening I passed many a bar where 3 or 4 musicians were play some lovely jazz and you couldn't get in the place. Further down the street some so called singer was screaming his tits off - you could get in that bar, but whay would you even bother. I wish for an afterlife where we could meet with the jazz greats and sit around and play MUSIC
What is different from this interpretation vs. Bobby Darin's (and other later) is that Bobby's goes up a half step each verse. Louis' bluesey gravelly voice couldn't do that.
Germany is not allowing any opposition.Every German is constantly forced to take part in human rights abuses.Everybody not taking part is being tortured and/or murdered,see my channel and homepage.
This results in:
1. every good German being dead (because having been murdered by his state)
2. every (remaining) German being only good when dead.
Except for the few managing to survive without collaborating.
My favourite since I was five, still when I am close to fifty, this man makes me feel happy and Mack the Knife is my nickname for various reasons >>>;)
It's just their cultural reservered manner that's all. The audience is often interpreted here as racist but these people paid good money to come see a performer they already appreciated. You get a sense of the true appreciation at the end of the song. Some in the crowd, seem to be loosing up and trying to be more American but it comes across as false.
one of the best...............I've already sung this song when I was in Elementary School every time my father played the long play records....back there by The Platters....I didn't even know English.........that's why I learned how to speak English........it's been 30 years now........and I still love it.......
I dont think some overseas people writing here realise the rules in a lot of halls in the UK, especially back then. Anyone getting up and causing a 'commotion' would probably have been thrown out by some security guy. hell, I was at a gig with Joe Satriani last October in Glasgow and security stopped people moving to the stage in any great numbers. Wouldnt want to to enjoy ourselves now would we? LOL! great song, great band.
yeah, back in 1950 when black people were still appreciated by the whites. Guess why that guy is singing "mack the knife"?! You are fuckin braindead.... look at the audience, then listen to the lyrics and put it in the zeitgeist. Btw. I know this has been recorded in london, but this doesnt make it any better.
It's hilarious that only the Asians were moving to the sounds of the band. If you'll check Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl" you'll notice that no one moves in that video, either. Guess during that period it was "taboo" to dance and have fun. Just kidding. But really people, get your back up off the wall.
When I go to a show I'm pretty quiet just watching and listening and taking every cool aspect in. Unless something wicked catches me by surprise or unless I applaud the end or beginning of a song I'm pretty chill as well.
@DRUsky6ft7 You live in an era where you can go on youtube and listen to any artists you want whenever you want, you have so much literature just here on Youtube. You think people of this era just got to listen to Louie live all the time. You get to hear their music more than they did. Be thankful.
@DRUsky6ft7 I am sorry to tell you, but to say so is very narrow minded!
I´d agree on the fact, modern pop is aweful and also on the assumption, that todays high production standards tend to take away, how may i call it - the unique human influence.
But THERE IS real music today, as there was yesterday, and there will be real musique tomorrow. Maybe you`re not looking hard enough or you like the simple idea that erverything was better "back then"
There is a lot of good music. With the internet and everything, you really don't have to listen anything you don't like for a minute. Of course you need to have an open mind.
@DRUsky6ft7 "Mack the Knife" is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their music drama The Threepenny Opera. It premiered in Berlin in 1928.
1928!
The Threepenny Opera was adapted from an 18th-century English ballad opera, John Gay's The Beggar's Opera.
Been playing a lot of Fallout New Vegas lately and CHRIST did they pick BAD music. It's all freaking crooner shit. No bounce, no pop, no swing, nothing, it just drags on the fucking floor like its trying to put you to sleep.
THIS is the music, man. This is finger-snapping, toe tapping music. It doesnt have to make you want to dance, or even kick up your heels, just as long as it makes you move your feet a little for fucks sake.
Fallout made me love jazz, I started listening to Billie Holiday, then Satchmo, then Ella Fitzgerald, the Ink Spots, and Fallout 2 really complimented Louis in the intro, it's fitting because it actually induces some sort of happy feeling with a desolate contrast in the game. Probably why this music is my favorite, and Fallout's my favorite game franchise ever.
Да, классика джаза... А лично для меня это ещё и первое знакомство с настоящим джазом - 1962 г., школа, бабинный магнитофон и джаз - Дэйв Брубек, Эрролл Гарнер и, конечно же, Луи Армстронг. А песенка "Mack the Knife" именно в этом исполнении 1956 года. Спасибо.
this my friends is what you called music in its pure form....go find it on modern day artists and i bet you more 90% can't do what people back in the days did with their voice and music.... it is magical..... these music will always and forever be listened by everyone who loves music than any songs that to the charts these day...
This audience isn't dead. If you watch them they're -really- into it, and extremely appreciative at the end, which is a beautiful way to watch/listen to art :-) You wouldn't see much different today if you went to a classical performance.
Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a women with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart.
If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Does this concern you? The Bible says despise the value of your eye compared to the value of your soul. would u sell your eye for a million dollars? And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. needgod.com
@Josholt Most European audiences were like that. It was fascinating for them to see the stars they had only heard on imported records. They appreciated the American artists and the feeling was mutual. Also Europe was were most African American musicians/artists/writers felt respected during the pre-civil rights era with its segregation, social and political inequalities, Jim Crow law in the Southern states, etc. France (Paris) was particularly welcoming.
definitely right in the generation deifference, but us english are known for being quite reserved. but true, their appreciating the music and the show much more
What if... what if people back then, where they were, would make comments about us (here and now) like "look at how disrespectful those people are... disturbing the performer and other audience..." That would just be AS WRONG! People from different generations and countries have their own way of paying their tributes. The important thing is "What a GREAT performance!" Let's just each enjoy it in our own way!
The audience isn't dead, this is an audience in London probably made up of the higher class who could afford to go.
Back then the respectful thing was to watch the actual show then applaud at the end. (Or during a big solo moment, like the drummer had). Different era, different style of showing appreciation.
@B8rkley No there all dead now! lol Get it dead audience lol, You are correct though. I think personally Louie wanted people to fell his music and express themselves in some emotion that's what all entertainers feed off of. I can't help but bogie down whenever I hear Louie rip that trumpet :)
@B8rkley You are quite right. My parents are from northern Scotland and during the mid 50's this is what they listened to,danced to and loved. Who would have thought that a small northern Scottish town passed their love of black American entertainers to their children who have all become huge jazz fans.
@B8rkley Same as many audiences are in Russia and around the world for classical music. They are there to listen and observe - not make noise and dilute the talent.
@B8rkley You're right. I just don't know how anyone could be hearing this shit and not want to move, cheer, something. This band is just swingin' so f hard. Audience looks like they're in the waiting room of a dentist's office.
This song was very new to US audiences it was introduced that year. So I wouldn't expect a lot of singing along with the band. Race had nothing to do with it.
@bajaninthesun it depends on the location, it may have been considered polite to maintain a low level of noise. Remember there was serious etiquette in this era.
@bajaninthesun People were respectful to the performers back then. Hell, I should just say people were respectful back then. They weren't bored, they just weren't obnoxiously loud and crazy like people at concerts nowadays.
@bajaninthesun I WISH people were like this today. Nowadays they ruin every bit of good live music by whistling and shouting and cheering and clapping incessantly. Let's do that at the end and not ALL THE F***ING TIME!! I'm not there to listen to the people!
This is the one, superb quality, well done!
None of the "rat pack" could perform this with

@B8rkley You are quite right. My parents are from northern Scotland and during the mid 50's this is what they listened to,danced to and loved. Who would have thought that a small northern Scottish town passed their love of black American entertainers to their children who have all become huge jazz fans.

@B8rkley Definitely not dead, but completely mesmerized. Watch the lady mouthing the lyrics along with Louis just before two minutes.

@B8rkley Same as many audiences are in Russia and around the world for classical music. They are there to listen and observe - not make noise and dilute the talent.

@B8rkley You're right. I just don't know how anyone could be hearing this shit and not want to move, cheer, something. This band is just swingin' so f hard. Audience looks like they're in the waiting room of a dentist's office.

This song was very new to US audiences it was introduced that year. So I wouldn't expect a lot of singing along with the band. Race had nothing to do with it.

@bajaninthesun it depends on the location, it may have been considered polite to maintain a low level of noise. Remember there was serious etiquette in this era.

@bajaninthesun People were respectful to the performers back then. Hell, I should just say people were respectful back then. They weren't bored, they just weren't obnoxiously loud and crazy like people at concerts nowadays.

Actually, this was only because he was playing in a fancy London concert hall.
I would Imagine the Nola and Harlem halls were popping with excitement from the crowd

@bajaninthesun I WISH people were like this today. Nowadays they ruin every bit of good live music by whistling and shouting and cheering and clapping incessantly. Let's do that at the end and not ALL THE F***ING TIME!! I'm not there to listen to the people!
