Buddy Rich - "West Side Story Medley" on "Parkinson" - '82 - (pt.7 of 7) - HQ

And this is part seven. You REALLY need to watch this COMPLETE SHOW from part one. If you haven't, part one is on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLBW8L198GQ&feature=channel (don't forget to close THIS window after you've got it!)

Twenty-seven years on, Parky is still with us - but not long after this show, ALL these people passed. Buddy in '87, Sam in '90, Roy in '94 and Kenny in '95. All gone in just thirteen years. But thanks to videotape (and the efforts of yours truly) you have witnessed four great men who while they WERE here, enriched our lives.

Now that is some serious drumming. :)

Thanks for posting this episode in full. It's been great to see it.

@eocarcharia - Yes, it was magic. It took some doing, but I HAD to post the whole thing!

Thanks SO MUCH for posting this. Ive seen re-releases of other videos of this song, but seeing this from VHS for some reason, just seems to give it more meaning. One of the FEW songs that he has EVER admitted to having a hard time to learn. Just such a great performance, with so many legends around. Thanks you very much!

My pleasure. Unlike film - and often digital, depending on the settings - VT CONTINUALLY "refreshes". Thus it gives a LIVE feel - poignant when you realize ALL the guests on this show are no longer with us...
