Various-The Making of Burning for Buddy part 2 (VHS)

In May of 1994, Neil Peart undertook a recording project which will forever stand as the ultimate tribute to Bernard "Buddy" Rich. He and Buddy's daughter, invited eighteen of the most respected drummers in the world to New York's Power Station studio, and for two weeks, each day, two or three world-class drummers would perform with the Buddy Rich Big Band. To quote Neil Peart: "I'll never forget those two weeks at the Power Station. I'd walk in excited every morning, wondering what's going to happen today?" The result is this monumental project (released on CD by Atlantic Records) was some of the most exciting music ever put on tape.

This video, along with Part One, represents a behind the scenes look at the recording process. Highlights include: rehearsal footage, each final take, interviews with each drummer about the project and about Buddy, candid footage of the control room during playback, and more. The whole thing is tied together by beautiful commentary and recollections from Neil Peart.

As a special bonus, also included are rare performance clips of Buddy himself.

Part Two features Billy Cobham, Steve Ferrone, Omar Hakim, Joe Morello, Rod Morgenstein, Simon Phillips, Steve Smith and Matt Sorum.
