I'm 37 and I absolutely love older music. Anything made after 1996 I have no use for, but I mostly listen to music from 1930-1980. I wish I could go back to the 30's provided I had a bunch of money.

I know this reply is WAY late, but... I think Neil Simon's Radio Days is a great intro to music from this era. It is a nice way to show kids how music has provided the backdrop, the soundtrack for people across time and that the music FIT for that time. it's a gentle history lesson and can be a launch pad to the era, with music from all of the bands punctuating the lesson. Just a really late thought from a like minded individual. Hope all are well.
Siempre me he preguntado la razón para que estos músicos tocaran de manera tan artística, magistral y bellamente. Cómo hicieron para comprender en dónde estaba la belleza en los arreglos, la manera de interpretarlos, la técnica de grabación, etc. ¡ Qué misterio ! Maravilloso álbum, como siempre con G. Miller. Desde Colombia, gracias señor Ralf Siebert. gracias YOU TUBE.
Oh my god, this is solid gold. The clarity of the songs he played live are jut astonishing.
A wonderful musical snapshot from a day long gone. What a tight band.
Hello dear Glenn Miller friends! I am soooo happy to read all of your friendly comments. What a joy! This video is at the moment the most successful video here on my channel. So many visitors. Thanks to all of you. Glenn Miller's history and his music is so alive. It is amazing!

Oh wow, :52 the Center Theater, southeast corner of W 49th St. and 6th Ave. Demolished in 1954, it was the only Rockefeller Plaza building to be razed. NBC used it as a radio studio for a time. I think Simon & Schuster is now on that site.
What fantastic music. My father and all of the men in my family were in wwIi. what a great generation and what great memories. And boy could we dance.
Even though I wasn't born in this era, I can't help but, Love it. No matter what ages are, music speaks to every generation
Have seen the movie of his life over and over and wish I could see it again....So glad they saved this recording for me to enjoy.
I was three days old on that October 7 show!
Back in the mid 1980's my son and I went to a Star Trek convention that was held in that ballroom.
Not enough words coming from a ww2 veteran the beauty of the sound, lyrics, and arrangements of all the side man and singers of the Glen Miller Band. There many beautiful melodic dance able tunes recorded by singers Ray Eberle, Johny Desmond Skip Nelson and the Modern airs.
As my college Professor " History Of Jazz" always said - " We Americans should really appreciate Jazz much more than we do. It is truly America's Music, and the last time real Dance music was also Pop Music. It was sad to see the era pass ...... and to see what has become Pop Music. But this is how we do the artist justice, keeping the memory alive ...
I grew up listening to this music . My parents grew up during The Great Depression and my dad was a veteran of WWII. I absolutely LOVE it. Many thanks.

so amazing. thank you so much..
I had thought first it is the time my dad was there. It seems it's not, unfortunately. But his parents took him and his brother to NY City by train, from Montreal, in 1938 to listen to Glenn Miller and his orchestra at this very same hotel. He was only 14, and told us often about this most fantastic experience. My grandparents were visionaries to organise this trip for their family, can you imagine, not many people travelled those long distances at that time to listen to a band! And Moonlight serenade is one of the pieces I had played to dad in the hour before he passed away, two years ago.
Always lovely to turn GMB on in your house and let it play while you go about your chores. Long live Glenn!
Señor Ralf Siebert, eternamente agradecido por permitirnos volver a oír estas bellezas de obras de jazz-swing. A quienes la óímos, nos ablanda el corazón, nos hace la vida amable en este mundo convulsionado. Gracias , también, a YOU TUBE, por colaborar en esta magnífica difusión.
I was thinking it was 1938. If it was 1940 I was two years and three days. In any event I was born in the middle of this great music. It would be nice to box all the music from about 1936 to 1942 and be able to listen to all of it.

But hearing them again from the ballroom is quite exciting. You have done a wonderful job of bringing back the sound . Thank you for this. I will love this music forever. Hope I can listen wherever I go after this life. It surely won't be heaven without it!

I walked downtown from E 115th Street in Cleveland to hear the Miller band playing at the Palace Theater in '39 or '40. I wasabout 12 years old. I have been a Miller fan ever since. I was devastated when he was missing on that flight from England toFrance, but all us kids knew even then that his music would always be with us. Does anyone know what year that may havebeen that Miller was on the road and played Cleveland. I will be 90 this year and I just bought tickets to hear a current Millerorchestra playing at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona.
GREAT POST 🌠
Glenn Miller could swing,play romantic ballads,etc. Ray Eberle singing and Glenn Miller playing. Incredible mix of song and instrumental! Sun Valley Serenade was a classic score! No words left.. Musical history was made! Thanks for the memories!

The correct date is actually 7/10/1940. As you hear from the announcer, this is the opening night from Glenn's 2nd period at the Cafe Rouge(7/10/40-18/1/1941).This is my favourite version of Pennsylvania 65000, it really swings. Thanks for sharing

Hello from Galway, wonderful, almost feel like you were there.
Very fine remastering of the great but very commercial Miller band. Given the sound of the band, I would guess that the broadcast dates from latter 1939 or early 1940. It would have been either just before or just after the engagement of the Artie Shaw band at the same location, famous for Shaw’s walking off the bandstand. I believe that the earlier Miller band would not have sounded quite as tight and “finished” as this band. Thank you.
Good job man

Don't worry, everything is fine. You are certainly not the only one in your age. It's the authenticity that probably fascinates you. A real trip back in time to a time you may have once lived in as a human being back then. This time travel grabbed me at the age of 7. When you enthusiastically internalize this music, these movies and all the magic of old Hollywood movies, you discover a world that won't let you go. And this world is very big, believe me. With this in mind, have fun continuing to discover, immerse, marvel and listen. It is worth it.
I'm crazy about the Glenn Miller Orchestra!
The broadcast date was October 7 1940 according to Miller's discography.

The musician was on his way to newly liberated Paris on December 15, 1944, when his plane disappeared without a trace over the English Channel. Presumably, the U.S. musician was a victim of Allied bombers: at the time of the flight, a British bomber squadron was on its way back from an aborted raid on a German city. Since landing with bombs on board was considered too dangerous, the planes dropped their bomb load over the English Channel. Miller's small propeller plane, which flew much lower than the fighter planes, may have been caught in the deadly hail of bombs. To this day, the plane has not been found.

First of all, October 7th fell on a *Friday* in 1938. Second, Glenn's orcheatra hadn't quite been "assembled" as yet. This was broadcast over NBC's Blue Network on a MONDAY, in 1940- at 12:30am(et), because dance band remotes were generally scheduled between 11pm and 3am(et).
That's the slowest version of Moonlight Serenade ever.

Ray Eberly sings "Call Of The Canyon" superbly. With the clear stereo sound it enough to bring chills down your spine. What a wonderful era as far as how much more dignified society was at so many levels. Today it seems society has thrown in the towel and anything goes. Anywhere you go - dress, music, the language you hear, etc., you can't help but be offended. Often disgusted.

@JosephConsoli Ray Eberle was the romantic voice in the Miller band between 1938 to mid 1942. Bob Eberle (later Eberly, probably to avoid confusions), was the older brother of Ray, singing in the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra from 1935 to 1943.

Miller didn't arrange "Call of the canyon". It is Bill Finegan's arrangement.
Surely Glenn's music deserves to be improved upon with today's technology, if that is at all possible! Personally, I look forward to any pleasant change in the sound... IF it is professionally produced, (and this re-recording certainly was). After all, the original monaural recordings are readily available so why not a slightly different sound? Wonderful job, my friend!
