Buddy Rich and His Band - The Lost West Side Story Tapes

Recorded in 1985, the master tapes were thought to have been lost in a fire. They were discovered in 2000, along with the original 'surround sound' digital master, and extensive work was done to bring you this state-of-the-art audio mix. The concert includes the Buddy Rich standards 'Cottontail,' 'Mexicali Nose,' and the unforgettable classic 'West Side Story Medley.' Special DVD Features include: 4.0 Channel Dolby® Digital and DTS® Digital Surround tracks · solos of selected performers · track selection menu · additional commentary by Marie and Cathy Rich, world-renowned drummer Dave Weckl, and Gary Reber (producer of the original recording) · interview segments · behind-the-scenes footage of Buddy · and rare photos from the Rich family archives. Approximately 110 minutes. 'This DVD is every Buddy Rich fan's dream come true - a brilliant concert coupled with state-of-the-art technology. Looking back on this event, it's incredible to think that Buddy was 67 years old at the time, and playing better than ever. To this day, he continues to amaze and inspire. Enjoy!' - Cathy Rich, daughter of Buddy Rich
