The sad and untimely passing of Bert Kaempfert left a big void in the world of music. He is not easily forgotten and we are the less without him. This recording befits our memories of him and his musical genius.

Thank you Germany for Bert Kaempfert - you produced a C20th musical genius to complement your great classical ones. God bless, from a British guy.

Until today it is a wonder and great honour the londoners welcomed Bert and James in your mighty Hall, only 30 years after the Blitz ! Music is love.

I never realized that Bert and his orchestra didn't tour until this performance. I'm a huge fan but admit I arrived late to the party and became a Bert Kaempfert fan about four years ago when my musical tastes started to change and I learned to appreciate Bert's great music. I'm very grateful for this video.

I didn't know it either. And they do the songs exactly like in the recordings, which is quite amazing. My musical tastes were pretty much always the same n very eclectic.

I found out of Bert going through vinyls of my neighbors that passed way that left us. He had many and I decided to give it a listen. So glad I did, his style of orchestration is very unique. It’s crazy though because our neighbors were from Germany and Bert was too. Was there a connection there? I would’ve loved to know and talked with the husband, now I’m that much older and not a little kid anymore

The music from my childhood....50 years later, I really appreciate it for its beauty. There are just so many qualities if you break this music down. The swingin' feel, the trade-off between the horns, the rhythm section, drummer Rolf Aherns plays the brushes with such finesse and feeling. He is a big part of that signature BK sound. Oh my, so much good to say.......also such a blend of sounds, 6 vocalists, 3 rhythm guitars, strings, horns a large woodwind section, who else does that? OMG so glad I found this video!

I used to listen to an "elevator music" FM station from the time I was a kid until my mid-teens and the station changed formats. Bert's music was a staple then and every song still brings back great memories.

There is something magical about this music. And I also wondered who else had created something like this. I feel the same way about the great Somerset Maugham, whose art I also found incomparable and which gave me such breathtaking moments.

Im 34 and i discovered Mr Kaempfert when I was 23 when I heard Hold Back The Dawn. I am forever grateful. So sad hes been gone 40 years 😢

R.I.P. Mr,kaempfert [1923-1980] good life music is forever!!

I loved his music for 50 years now ❗ 👍 👌🎶

Bert Kaempfert, you feed my soul with your music. RIP.

What can one say other than those were the Kings and Masters of music! So devine and pure.

Berts music and his orchestra are simply subperb. Very relaxing to listen too. It brings back a lot of good memories when I was younger.

Same here J Polar. My ole man loved to listen to Bert, and the music and memories have stayed with me all these years.

the man that did not want to produce the Beatles, a Genius. L.O.V.E.

blast from the GREAT past ! What years they were!!

QUE MARAVILLOSO..QUE NOSTALGIA TAN GRANDE !!!! AL RECORDAR !!!! TAN INDESCRIPTIBLE MELODÍA !!!! VIAJO..VIAJO..EN EL TIEMPO..A MI NIÑEZ..CUANDO MI MADRE SE DELEITABA ESCUCHANDO A BERT KAEMPFERT...GENIO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS...NUNCA MORIRÁ SU MÚSICA..A UNIDO GENERACIONES..PLACER A LOS OÍDOS...EXCELENTE...GRANDE...GRANDE...MAESTRO.!!!!!

Im 66. In the early dixties we had a kiddie show The Sandy Becker show. THIS WAS HIS THEME SONG. MEMORIES

You will make thousands and thousands of music fans super happy with this (these) upload(s) Frank ! The 1974 concert was just superb and the word "historical" is right at its place here, as it was the first time ever that Bert appeared on stage in Europe. Besides the top soloists true Kaempfert fans will also recognize the Botho Lucas Choir - another fine ingredient of the BK Sound. Can't wait to see the second part Frank ! Congratulations from another life long Kaempfert fan ;-) !!

Kaempfert forever 😘

fantastic music!!! ...I remember the old days listening the radio together my dad ...

Sure, also with this beautiful music I remember to my father.

I believe that if Bert, with his Orchestra were alive, I guarantee that he would be enchanted by the various technological resources that we have today. Of course at the time he did his songs, he produced splendidly. Bert Kaempfert, the best of all time.

Schade, dass es Diesen Orchester Chef nicht mehr gibt. Ich liebe seine Musik.

Strangers in The Night.................................................THAT is the sound that epitomises the wonderful Mr Kaempfert and his ullustrious orchestra and singers..........................

My first stereo record in 1962 was that happy feeling

Can’t believe Bert gone now for 40 years or so as this music is just superb.

ESTA SI ES UNA ESPECTACULAR ORQUESTA CON SU INCONFUNDIBLE ESTILO, LA PERFECCIÓN MUSICAL EN ESTA BIG BAND SI EXISTIÓ, ALEMANIA DEBE ESTAR ORGULLOSA

Kann ihn immer wieder hören.

HERMOSA MÚSICA, GENIAL DIRECTOR Y GRAN ORQUESTA

I love the vocals (along with orchestra) in that Happy Feeling, 8:38 onwards. Just incredible and so beautiful. Far better than the studio versions I think.

Wonderful music

Ladi Geisler, master !. His solo albums are great too.

Su música he interpretación, es maravillosa. Gracias.

Bert Kaunfert y su orquesta fueron inolvidables en mucha de sus interpretaciones, sobre todo en ésta: Strangers in the night.

SOY UN ASIDUO CONOCEDOR DE ORQUESTAS DEL MUNDO SOBRE TODO INDIVIDUALIZO LOS SONIDOS DE TODAS LAS ORQUESTAS ,PERO BERT KAEMPFERT ES UNO DE LOS ARREGLADORES CON MAS PERFECTO SONIDO ENTRE VIENTOS Y CUERDAS ,Y DIGO "EL MEJOR"DE TODOS,EQUILIBRIO PERFECTO EN SU SONIDO. ESTEBAN OJEDA VERA CHILE.

Bei diesem Konzert war ich in der Albert Hall 1974. Es war grandios dieses Konzert zu genießen.Danke für diese Einstellung. Ich bin total happy.

I wish i could be there, at that place, the same time, and listning to that uplifting noise. but when they acctually made that noise i was just ten years old.

A great performance from a great man. Thanks for sharing, Frank.

I just discovered this - finally! I agree with everyone below that this was a truly Historic performance. And Bert talks in English, too. Thank you, fdeckers2003, you have made a lot of people happy!

SEMPRE CLASSE AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

It's great just to hear Bert speaking in English! I wonder if any of his old fishing buddies from the Everglades are seeing this. We love you Bert, long live Bert Kaempfert!

This brings back a lot of memories. Black and white TV and only a few stations. Watching German TV in the south part of Holland. Baert Kempfert and his orchestra and then all of a sudden Ack van Rooyen on the right siide of the stage, high above the orchestra, playing his bugle. Those were the days... Not of wine and roses, but still. So much has changed since. Ack van Rooyen still playing. Search KZread for "Round Midnight", Ack with Paul Kuhn. What a musician. Thank you for uploading this.

Bert Kaempfert is still the Master of His Own.There is No other Performance beside him.

I would like to echo all the other people who commented. This is a truly wonderful post (all of them). Thank you very much.

ESPECIALÍSSIMO !!!!!! Precioso vídeo !!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Bert enjoyed himself. I know I sure did. Danke, Bert.

Thomas Blair True! I listen mostly Classical music - like 99% of the time. Light must be really good for me to enjoy it. Bert definitely qualifies. Also a few others like the old Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass (not the modern Herb) plus the better stuff of James Last.

I first heard Bert Kaempfert on Metromedia (Channel 5) in N.Y.C. in the early sixties as a child . 'That Happy Feeling' was The Sandy Becker Show theme song , a children's program. Also , during technical difficulties, a Bert Kaempfert song would always be played. I have such nostalgia for this !

Bloody brilliant!

I too want to echo what everyone else has said. I remember watching this on the BBC first time round and making a crude attempt to record it with mono cassette recorder and microphone! Been looking for this for years!

‘PERFEITO 👍’

Klasse!

maravilha saudoso bert kaempfert - boris mendes

So manchen Musiker fand man später bei James Last wieder.

GREAT!!!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I will be downloading all of it and making into one complete video.

What a work-out that flugelhorn player got.

fantastic not much great music around nowadays.. thanks

Magnifica selección de música é instrumentada por una excelente orquesta.

Замечательная музыка

Yes my friend, Stan Sultzman on the flute, but not the Guy with Glasses.

werry well

Fantastic, fascinating, fabulous. Thank you for sharing this exquisite post. I love it.

That is Ack van Rooyen. He is a brilliant player.

Отлично!

So beautiful. Today. 2024, we have trash. And the Grammy Awards catervto trash, pure, simple, logical.

woow this was a full house?? a truly genius.

…I’m seeing many familiar faces from the James Last Orchestra here. Bob Lanese, Gunter Platzek…a a couple others I think too.

I only can agree to FrankWms - The music from BK is a world heritage as lika as Mozart or Schubert - only in a modern version and more easy to enjoy. Thanks fdeckers2003

Trumpeter Bob Lanese was making part of the orchestra

Fabulous! Waited a long time for this to appear. Thank you.

Miss Fred Moch in it,,,.but still wonderful!...

Alguien sabe los nombre de los músicos de la orquesta? Sólo conozco a Ladi Geisler. Does someone know the names of the musicians?

Thomas Blair you right, but you forgot Beatles, they were at germany at the beginning.

Thank you Frank..I recognize Ack van Rooyen and Bob Lanese but is it realy Stan Sultzman on the flute?

Is there Peter Herbolzheimer in the trombone-section?

Who is the violinist with the grey hair. He seems to be really getting into it during that happy feeling.
