Country Bear Jamboree Disneyland Original 1972 audio/pictorial tribute

This is an audio tribute for Disneyland Country Bear Jamboree, meant to be a full, original show shortly after 1972 opening. Actually, the date I've uploaded this video is March 4 2022, which is significant because the attraction, and surrounding land Bear Country, opened exactly 50 years ago today in 1972. Happy 50th birthday to this classic Disneyland attraction! Although I haven't had very many videos on the Country Bear show in my channel thus far, I still consider it a really fantastic audio animatronics spectacle which was one of the best attractions on its side of Disneyland as well as my third favorite show in any Disney theme park (behind Tiki Room & Carousel of Progress). I also hate that they replaced it with what I think is a very subpar Winnie the Pooh dark ride after it's very sad closure in 2001. I was born a few years after closure and haven't been to Walt Disney World, so I actually havent seen it in person, but been in love with it since a young age. When I was infant/toddler, I actually liked the Pooh ride because of the still great characters and music, as well as that I didn't know about Country Bears until ~4-5. (And I couldn't see any of it's flaws due to being so young) But I learned about and came to love the Country Bear shows, and ever since I've held it highly among the many past and present Disneyland attractions. I haven't cared much for the Pooh ride in many years, and have come to resent it for replacing Country Bears. The original concept for a Country Bear show actually dates back to 1966 (shortly before Walt passed), when Disney planned a ski resort titled Mineral King, with singing bears to entertain in a dinner show. One of Walt's last meetings with Imagineers was to look at concept art for the bears. When viewing the bears, Walt laughed hysterically, and it was remembered as one of if not the last time he ever laughed like that, since sadly he passed a few weeks later. Some legal problems made it impossible to build Mineral King, but Disney decided to reuse the bears for the new Walt Disney World Frontierland (Florida). It opened to massive success on 10/1/1971, and at the same time Disney was already working on a copy at Disneyland. This version had a whole new land around it called Bear Country, a detailed recreation of a rural late 1800's American Northwestern town. In addition to E Ticket show, there was the Golden Bear Lodge (now Hungry Bear) and Mile Long Bar restaurants, a couple shops (including Indian Trading Post, reused from the previous Indian Village), Teddi Barras Swingin Arcade, and nice new land at Disneyland, some of which (besides Country Bears) survives as Critter Country today. The first two minutes of the video has Western music and several pictures of Bear Country, beginning with sign and cave of snoring bear Rufus, followed by some buildings and rare 1972 picture of the nice covered bridge entrance for Country Bear Jamboree (reused for Pooh). Not all pictures here are 1972, but all are 1972-75 or undated (probably 70's). Sadly I couldn't find any other pictures of queue or waiting area, so after the attraction poster we go inside theater & Max, Buff, and Melvin tell Henry to start the show. Henry is the leader of the cast, in most acts, & initially introduces us to the show and its pianist Gomer. He plays nice solo and joined by Five Bear Rugs for Bear Band Serenade. Already, there's great sounding country music as Zeke, Zed, Ted, Fred, and Tennessee give a taste of whats to come. Next is Wendell, playing 2 acts with Henry. The first, Fractured Folk Song, is followed by Liver Lips, his guitar & My Woman Ain't Pretty. Some songs are kinda sad, (especially the next act, Henry and Wendells Mama Don't Whip Little Buford), but they're still whimsical enough to be fun. Next is another very nice sounding song, Trixies Tears Will Be the Chaser For Your Wine. Then is the first return of 5 Bear Rugs, where Zeke sings Pretty Little Devilish Mary. Next is shaker Terrance, with How Long Will My Baby Be Gone, then the Sun Bonnets singing All The Guys That Turn Me On Turn Me Down. Though some songs are dark many can also be relatable and all instrumentals are beautiful. Then Bear Rugs return and now joined by Ernest as they perform If You Can't Bite, Don't Growl. Then Teddi Barra lowers her swing to sing Heart We Did All That We Could, before Big Al gives Blood on the Saddle. Personally these two are my favorite bears, even if I love them all. After, Henry and raccoon Sammy start singing Ballad of Davy Crockett, which Big Al interrupts with another Blood on the Saddle. The entire cast then drowns him out with a fantastic Ole Slew Foot, which along with Come Again are the last acts. Then exit music plays, with rare 70's exit picture and a couple more of Mile Long Bar. I really love this show and I hope you enjoy my tribute! I do not own any audio or images used in this video.
