@thepangmonster Hi my name is Wes I posted this video. This was the night Buddy poured out his hold life of unbelievable talent in that drum solo! You did not make mistakes around him he demanded perfection from his band. Thanks for looking at clip.

I was there the very next night. There was an older guy and his son (fans) who used to stand behind the bass player in the crowd where I used to stand (all the drummers would always crowd in there). He said to me, "You should have seen Buddy last night...he was on fire! And it will be televised on the Disney channel". I can tell you he was just as great the following night when I saw him. What energy this man had...stunning.

I came with my dad every time Buddy played at Disneyland can't count the number of times I have seen Buddy play. My dad started taking me to see big bands when I was only 12 and we continued to see big bands for over 40 years. He passed away two years ago and watching this brings back many great thoughts. Buddy was the best I ever saw, the best left hand ever hope you enjoyed the trip to the past tell others about this great drummer.

Possibly the greatest drum solo ever!  Fabulous night with incredible music!

I was there in 1983 when Barry Kiener was playing the piano and he put in a hell of a piano solo I never heard before.Buddy was doing a different kind of solo but with juggling his sticks around but I cant seem to find that solo on here.He was driving the crowd crazy when he started doing those type of stick tricks but I wish I had a camcorder back then but they were in the 600 dollar range and I couldnt afford one at 12 years old.lol

I used to work at Disneyland on a day shift. Anytime I saw that Buddy Rich and his band were going to be on the Carnation stage, I made it a point to be in the park to watch his show. Always fantastic!
