Zorba The Greek
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Lyrics

@skyemann

I saw Herb Alpert and the TJB live at the “Hollywood Palace” on Vine street off of Hollywood blvd. What Great days they were. If only I could go back.

@celestialskye1

I'm with you on that!

@bryanwarm2471

Now just imagine this being a top five on the charts today. No way to wrap your head around such a thing.

@da1215

Nice to hear the Fender Electric XII live

@denisedevoto2834

My mom had all his records, so I was introduced to his music when I was a baby. Bossa Nova was big back then too. She said I was singing in Portuguese when I was 2 years old.

@gregdolecki8530

The accidental extra bass note at 1:16 is awesome.

@johnmermigas

I knew Herb and the TJB were on Sullivan and this and another one recently cured my insanity. Thankyou. More!

@CC2755

Omg, now I'm gonna get my Herb Alpert CDs back out.

Herb Alpert is the MAN 👞♂️

@kevingoins9858

A live performance!! Beautiful!

@maikailoa808

Always liked their music.

@christinekangas8031

Thanks a million for posting this. I love it!!!! They also performed "A Taste of Honey" that night. I would love to see that one too.

@StephanieJeanne

Me too!!☺️

Mesmerizing. They were amazing.

Hello how are you doing and everyone around you?

@kristiwargel9155

Amazing.

@spyderlogan4992

Look at that sweet Fender electric 12-string. And the bass player is using the '60's standard rig: Precision Bass thru the Ampeg B15 Portflex~!

@johnmermigas

Pay Senatore played upright bass but when Herb tapped him to be in the TJB he got quick lessons from Carol Kaye to play electric Fender. True I'm told. John..

@johnmermigas

PAT is his name my spell check sucks! John..

@Taine2

The only amp one needed with a Fender bass!

@transtremm

Wow! Wasn't expexpecting a Fender XII, nice!

And then as a 3 year old I proceeded to buy my first album. I wondered why they were my first choice…ED SULLIVAN! Also I was drawn to the album covers of girls …as a three year old boy the first album I had was the whip cream album. I’m not kidding.

@xScooterAZx

I loved this when I was 8 yrs old and it would come on the radio. Still do!

There was not one Hispanic person in The Tijuana Brass and his band were all members of The Wrecking Crew--a group of studio musicians who played on countless recordings in the 60s.

@gdwfs

The country was much happier back in the day …

@davida2359

I agree, but remember Vietnam and race riots were rampant during the TJB heyday. Herb Alpert brought a nice change in a tumultuous decade.

@gdwfs

@@davida2359 Now it’s Russia/Ukraine, Islamic terrorists, gender police, BLM, mass illegal immigration … and we’ve still got race riots but they’re just not being reported by a woke media.

The quality of life, I think, has deteriorated.

Do you think the average Joe was happier back then or now?

@stormchsr101

herb admits he wasnt the greatest horn player in the world and to take nothing away from tonni, look how easy herb is playing while tonni is red faced and sweating. just sayin.

@davida2359

I think Tonni was usually asked to hit the high octaves when playing live. At any rate, both are absolutely superb.

@gregdolecki8530

Tonni was doing twice the work

@jamesmiller9515

@@davida2359 Tonni had a reputation of being a great horn player...I understand he died in a traffic accident in Vegas around 1999...one of the quieter TJB members...

@ronrice1931

Pretty good. Second trumpet goes off the rails at 2:33, though. I doubt Herb was happy about that. Guitar hangs in there but not as good as the studio version. Bass flubs a note at 1:18. Well at least we know it was being played live!

@alphabeets

I believe Tonni Kalash is playing the high harmony part there above Herb’s part! Extremely difficult to play.

@ronrice1931

@@alphabeets No doubt, at that tempo it must be brutal. But he played it so wrong, and twice! If it wasn't on live TV I doubt this performance would have ever seen the light of day.

@eichelbergergary

What? Watch and listen more closely: The second trumpet is almost completely carrying this part. H.A. is hardly playing, and was not frankly a technically proficient trumpet player -- he is a bandleader, not an expert instrumentalist -- and this by a pretty wide margin.

@ronrice1931

@@eichelbergergary So you are saying it is Alpert who is playing the wrong notes?

@davida2359

@@ronrice1931 I've heard him hit a few "Wandering notes" in live performances I've been to. Truth is-it makes me realize that a totally gifted, talented, awesome trumpet player, is human.
