I just received a VHS copy of The Dean Martin Show today that features the Brass playing "Bittersweet Samba" and "Winds Of Barcelona". I'm not sure of the year, but I'm guessing early 1966. This show has the different trumpet player that was on the Hollywood Palace, rather than Tonni Kalash. The sound quality of the tape isn't the best, but it's better than nothing. The show also featured Imogene Coca, Jackie Mason, the Step Brothers and the Supremes.
The two songs that the TJB do aren't the same as on record. "Bittersweet Samba" is done real soft for the most part, and "Winds Of Barcelona" is played at a lot quicker tempo. I guess they pre-recorded these tunes then kind of "lip-synced" it afterwards, because there are a couple of spots where you hear Herb's trumpet doing a "fall" yet he doesn't have the horn to his lips, plus John Pisano is shown playing an acoustic 12-string yet the guitar sound is electric. Still, it's a nice addition to my collection!
