Benny Goodman Live at Carnegie Hall 1938

This is a digitally remastered recording of Benny Good Man Live at Carnegie Hall. Sorry about it cuttting off at the end but the song is over 12 mins long and you tube only allows a 10 min video.

Somebody NEEDS to put 1940's era music back on our radios instead of the dross that passes for music today.

You are so right! Let's build a time machine and have some fun.CHEERS MATE!

Oh god to have been there and heard this live. No recording with 1930's era equipment could ever do it justice. The sound of the brass and the intensity of Gene Krupa's drumming and the amazing talent of all the soloists all make for an amazing performance. We need to bring music like this back to the mainstream. Its is infinitely better than the tripe people listen to today.

There were some film clips of the concert (looked like from newsreels) included in the movie "The Benny Goodman Story" I think.

Don't know which I would rather do - listen to Harry or look at Betty.

The story, as I heard it, is that there was a snow storm and they weren't sure anyone was going to show up. But when they got there, the line of people waiting to buy tickets stretched around the block.

It does not matter how often you listen to this it is still a good as the first time you heard it. In my case that was 53 years ago

All modern rock music comes from Benny Goodman and others like him. The people that walked out of concert as mentioned - same old story. I wonder how many in the audiance enjoying the music got high before the concert. You'd probably be suprised.
