Buddy's 1974 European Concert Tour started in the middle of October and included cities in Italy, England Scotland, and Ireland. The lineup for that tour was going to be the quartet of Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson, George Duvivier, and Buddy but Lionel was taken ill so it then became the Teddy Wilson Trio plus Buddy and his 'Buddies Place Club musicians' with a few changes
Sal Nistico Tnr Sop, Joe Romano Alt.Fl, Jack Wilkins Gtr, John Bunch Pno, Bob Cranshaw Bass, Angel Allende Congas Perc. and Buddy. This was buddy's first time to play in Ireland and all the drummers are queuing up outside the Carlton Theatre waiting when Buddy strolls up to us and says hi! and walks in the front entrance. He was staying at the Gresham Hotel just across the road and just walked over, so cool.I had seen Buddy in Ronnie Scotts a year before with his Big Band and was not going to miss this. Teddy Wilson Trio played the first half of the concert then Buddy the second. Buddy was in great form that night and was joking all the time on stage with the lighting guy who kept missing his mark so buddy would direct him where to put the spotlight, it was so funny. I managed to get an audiotape of the concert and here's a clip of Sierra Lonely with buddy taking a solo with the snares off. I remember he drops a stick during this solo so he must be human after all!
