- The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra performed at the 2018 Glenn Miller Festival in Clarinda, Iowa. This unique tune is the original version of "In The Mood" before Glenn rearranged the music into the tune that we all know and love today. Enjoy!

This is REAL music! I wish we still had it on the popular scene today instead of the junk you always hear. I wonder if Glenn Miller realized he had created one of the most recognized songs on the planet when he recorded this.
How wonderful to just be here in 2021 and hear 👂 this Amazing sounds bravo to the band round of applause 👏
How cool. I’ve heard this band many times; they are amazing at what they do. But I’ve never heard this arrangement. Kinda nice to come across a new gem. Thanks for posting this.
It predates the famous 1939 version by several years. My understanding is that the arrangement bounced from band to band because no one could figure out how to cut it to fit on one side of a 78. Artie Shaw owned it for a while and performed it on radio but similarly neither he nor his arrangers could figure out where & what to cut. So he sold it to this up and coming arranger and conductor named Miller ...

The Master
R.I.P.
this version is also very good
I recorded off the radio, when I was in high school, of the Artie Shaw band, about 1937, playing In The Mood.....the long and slower version. I think it was a live recording. I don;t think Shaw ever recorded it; probably because it was too long.
The full arrangement's length precluded any commercial recordings. IIRC Shaw's version was something like 5 and a half minutes, impossible to put on a standard 78 and difficult even for the larger disks used for symphonic recordings. Glenn's genius was knowing what, when, and how to cut so it would fit on a 10-inch disk.
Although the more I hear the original version the more interesting I find it compared to the one we've come to know and love. You have to wonder what would have happened if longer formats had been available back then.
@@Poisson4147 Billy Joel: ... They cut it down to three-oh-five ...
That's correct. The original version was too long to fit on a 78. Here's an air check. czcams.com/video/-r12QoE3UxA/video.html
Miller's genius was knowing just what to change to get within the technology-imposed limits of the era without damaging the tune itself.
@@Poisson4147 But in July 1937, Benny Goodman recorded Sing,Sing, Sing, which is slightly over 8 minutes. Divided and put on both Aand B sides of disc. Maybe this recording ofIn TheMood did not have a natural division point, to d othat?
That was very good guys excellent Bravo
I'll be attending a performance of the Glenn Miller Orchestra this evening at the Pitt/Bradford College campus in Bradford, Pennsylvania. 10/17/2022
The very first version of "In The Mood" is Wingy Manone's "Tar Paper Stomp"
Pre glenn miller version
Thanks.
VERY interesting!
Glenn Miller "In the Mood" one of my faves for sure!!!!! When are you coming back to Grand Rapids,Mn???????
You would have to check with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, I just shoot video for the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society. Thanks.
Back in 39 or 40 I believe, Artie Shaw played this number and it was a fully unedited version. In fact, one of Glenn's early broadcast shows. I think maybe 38 or close to 39 give or take. Glenn actually played this number unedited. It wasn't till about 1940 when he re arranged in the mood to the way you know it today.
Glenn had the summer of 1939 gig at the Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, New York. I have a copy of the broadcast from July 28th and Glenn did indeed play this unedited version. The Artie Shaw version is on CZcams czcams.com/video/aLlgaDRI2a8/video.html Shaw's version is much slower and more swingy IMO.
The Edgar Hayes version of In The Mood.
This was not the version Miller is famous for. This is the original unedited version that the public never heard before Glenn modified it.
Do you use a compressor or auto gain setting on the audio? It doesn’t sound like it. Sounds great.
I appreciate the comment. No, I don't do anything significant. I record with a Rode Stereo Video Mic X. It has served me well and does a great job. The music is amplified somewhat with the high school auditorium sound system, but not significantly.
This is the un edited version.
It’d be annoying as heck to be sitting there in the audience and having your field of vision eclipsed by multiple people holding up cells and recording it. Do they not realize everyone behind them has to see that light?. It’s incredible and unfortunate how many have ZERO concern or care for others’ experience.
Must suck
Yes it is, Dave. It's even more annoying when these devices ring at full volume in the middle of a concert. The 2022 Festival had almost every performance interrupted by a cell phone, people singing, whistling, talking or doing whatever during the presentations, ruining it for everyone else.
@@kcbigbandjazz Absolutely true. There must be some way to control that boorish behavior but I'm at a loss. Maybe Shari the Enforcer??
Artie Shaw recorded it before
AFAIK he never made a commercial 78 recording because it would have taken two sides of a disk, but there's a very nice air check of a broadcast.
He played it on the air but never recorded it because it was too long to fit on a 78. czcams.com/video/-r12QoE3UxA/video.html
Miller's genius was knowing just what to change so the song could be released on Bakelite.
A minute & thirty-five seconds of a fool running his suck.
Totally uncalled for. Nick does a great job leading the band, and he did a fabulous job explaining the history of this tune.
It's sad they never found their airplane. My dad told me when was in the service you could go out with 40 dollars and come back with 20 dollars grew yp listen to the Glen Miller band
