    What a freak of nature. I know what’s coming but blows me away every time

    Thankyou J. Carson Estate/Cathy Rich for putting this out on Y.T. It is the finest quality! I know there would be a market for a DVD(s) of Buddy's appearances on the Tonight Show. Drummers worldwide would be forever grateful. Their friendship is fun to see again in these amazing shows.

    Johnny's amazing generosity by allowing Buddy to solo that long, you would never see that today on network television.

    I've been following Buddy since 1970 when I was 17. I don't remember ever seeing this clip. Brought tears to my eyes 😅. He was/is the biggest influence to my drumming career.

    Freakin mindboggling what this guy can do with a drum kit.

    I had a once in a lifetime experience in 1984 when Buddy toured in Sweden and I got to see him perform and meeting him afterwards for a handshake and he kindly signed an LP I fortunately brought to the concert!

    Greatest Drummer ever! You can be cocky, BUT, can you back it up? Buddy backed it up and THEN SOME! These videos are Priceless, Thank you.

    ok, think about drumming fifty yrs ago and it's buddy. fifty years before that in the roaring twenties they were only just starting to use the drum kit like they do currently. wow, this is still fresh today. timeless

    Real music, real musicians, real instruments....REAL talent. AMAZING!!!
  • @johnnyreo9681
    To see this man walk up to those drums cold and play at that level is amazing.....Most of those Tonite Show videos were shot when Buddy was in his later years. Imagine him 20, or 30 years younger! He took no drum lessons,, couldnt read a note,,.by all accounts, never practiced, he said, "you get better by playing,. not practicing," had a photographic memory, a genius I Q of drumming..and an Amazing GOD GIVEN TALENT!

    I saw a buddy almost 20 times from 73 to 80... Unbelievably awesome

    I'm a woodwind guy and started playing big band jazz in the mid 70s in highschool. I am so lucky to have seen Buddy several times. I saw all the guys still touring, Stan Kenton, Maynard, Basie, Woody and more. We played charts from them all. I lost my entire collection of albums a few years ago in a fire, but with streaming I'm thrilled to have access to all I had and more. Thanks for posting!
