miles davis electric 73 montreux part 2

[vanessamcqueen11]

Genius. My favourite Miles period. Epitome of cool.

[chrisvabeach76]

He wore those sunglasses to prevent him from killing you with his gaze.

[3R1CtheRED]

wat song is this...is on a studio album?

[rabola55]

@3R1CtheRED I think it's the "Ife" tune, it's on the "Big Fun" studio and on "Miles Davis in Concert" live at Philharmonic Hall album both from 1972. Don't expect it to sound the same as this version though...

[bapyou]

After playing a concert sometime in the 70s Miles walked offstage and asked a friend "Well, what'd you think?" "Aww Miles, it was amazing" the friend said. "Fantastic. Your paying was THERE, man!"

"No." Miles croaked. "Not the music! How did my clothes look, man?"

[ck1kid]

Miles was a bad motherfucker!

[DagmaraJDK]

Dedykuję mojemu wybitnemu koledze, który bardzo wcześnie zrozumiał, że żyć należy totalnie, jeść kanapkę łącznie z papierem śniadaniowym ;)

Mistrz na intelektualnym haju ociera się o ....szczyty...trzeba to chyba jednak potraktować jako zabawę, eksperyment...skraje... nie umiem tego zdefiniować.

Po prostu są ludzie, z którymi nawet Coca-Cola na dworcu jest najpyszniejsza na świecie.

[gottoeekanji]

すばらしい

[marb2]

Libre, libre al fin! (free, free at last!)

[clwb0fpv]

I'm still learning to listen at Jazz and for now, this is the more " bizarre " I can handle....

And I'm loving it! Basicaly, I'm a fan of Hard Bop and New Orleans.

Really good groove!

[ingear75]

[mr01FABIO]

MILES, THE MAN !

[marshallman83]

I'm sure Miles is high as a kite here.

Good groove though!

[microwhite]

.....Cool

[ambientgreg]

I love watching this interaction!

[HippieDrummer06]

fucking awsome.

[sonicboomfunk]

No, It's sweat.

[ledzeppelin64]

Is that drool that comes out of his mouth at 0:48 ?

[alandream]

its sweat from his face. still funny though

[hairblimp]

[marianoavilez]

q grande davis

el negro meta a tocar pasado de heroina

un grande un grande, un verdadero superdotado

[gmax6060]

In very much pain from his car accident and surgeries.

[whosetoewasit]

who the F cares if he's facing back or front or he's upside down when he's directing his band to sound like this???

[jaysjunkandshit]

your right juggalos are the skum of the earth well said

[4i4ikov]

ЭТО ПРЕКРАСНО ДО МУРАШЕК.НЕ ВЕРИТСЯ ЧТО ТАКАЯ МУЗЫКА 1973г.

[moonlightdriver800]

wow! this is deep!

[abender06]

You can tell in this clip just how much Miles Davis FEELS the music, its so far beyond just hearing the notes for him. Its his ability to feel the music that makes him such a great artist and trumpet player.

[513Lonestar]

Just like any good blues musician. . .

[najidra02]

everything is just AWSAME///

[earthga]

@ 5:07 Miles is warming up the situation!

Look at his movement @ 5:17 and next sec. guitar player repeats that movement. Incredible! Miles is like Don Juan, a mystic described by Carlos Castaneda.

Watch their conversation from 6:24 on - music is a spiritual language! Now that's one more thing which makes Miles genius, not just playing lovely melodys!

[yulia2b]

you said it man...

it's totally there

[Gonjasufi]

i'm basing my previous comment on watching miles 2:30 to 2:55 particularly

[Gonjasufi]

i don't mean this in a negative way at all, but what kind of drugs were miles and the band taking at this time? (is miles on smack or is he just feeling the music?)

[earthga]

He was allways into the music with all aspects of his being, and this video is a perfect example of why he was such a great bend leader. In each moment great leader knows exactly what to do! And If you are listening to the music, you don't have time to thinking about what drugs were Miles on. And that is exactly why he used drugs! To not interfere the thinking of something else with feeling the music.

Great video of Miles improvising with orcestration of his bend during the gig!

[3shiftgtr]

Miles had a heroin addiction in the 50's and quit cold turkey and never went back. In the 70's he drank a lot, and there were rumors of lots of coke. According to lots of sources, Miles rarely performed with a buzz...

[Gonjasufi]

haha thanks for clearing that up.

[oogleoink]

In my opinion, Miles is high as a kite on coke at this show. I think in the 3rd video from this series he can't get his nose to stop running.. etc. Not that I care, though... good for him!!!

[lecarreso]

VANGUARDIA

[Oldguitarofaram]

What a sense rhythm!..

[paravojislav]

1:14 love the way he spits

[frostythebush]

6:27 miles is gonna kick some ass?

[frostythebush]

drumming was crazy good

[samsevern]

FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY!!!!!

What an incredible groove!

Five stars are not enough for this vid! :)

[caoniya]

gota be one of my favorites.

awesome solo pete cosey.

[mloaks]

early on that is reggie lucas?

[DarkZehn]

que buen look de la banda y que buena musica dirigida por Davis, parece que miles anda medio elevadon ah y que sera eso que se toma el miles

[anandanaga999]

And furthermore, as to quote William Blake:" A FOOLS REPROACH IS A KINGLY TITLE" so stick that in your pocket. and keep steppin' brother

[anandanaga999]

Hey don't sweat the negative comments from that Harmelodic guy . I can play better music than he's ever heard in his immmature life. Straight UP!

[mathstew]

Love when Miles gets on those keys. This is my favorite performance of these guys.  I wish there was a little more Pete Cosey camera time.

[frkpho]

fuck Mile davis

[Brock2097]

no, fuck YOU, maaaan!!

[epelekjazz]

Miles is a fucking genius...

[nowave1]

This tune is called "Ife," but every single day they played it it was different, sometimes radically so. They're all on the knife's-edge of concentration... as serious as your life..

[DynoHamiltonian]

This is beautiful work.

[GabrielsNob]

Has Miles dropped a pint of acid - man this is freaky, heavy shit.

[ponzapapa]

Fuck me man! Pete Cosey is THE motherfucking man! Fuck it all this is the baddest shit in this motherfucking universe! Miles is the total master of music. I fucking DIG this shit man!

[sicilianbabe8]

This is not a song at all. It is performance art. They all look like they dropped some acid too...lol!!! I feel high just watching this.  What a treat to see so much of Miles working with his band. Often times he would just get off the stage and watch them work it during this era. Greatest video clip I have ever seen of this man....bravo!!

[sleestack]

Is this "a song"? I have a lot of Miles recordings and Id like to find it

[MilesTrane21]

"Ife", sorta.

[vitamincory]

if there was a word that could describe this it would be "tight"

[anandanaga999]

some could find this tedious

[isosceleshockwave]

some people also think kiss is a great rock band, whats your point?

[harmolodic23]

and "some" could find your tired-ass comment asinine...fuckwad

[dockaiser]

Miles ahead of time and evolution

[ddenniscoleman3]

Oh shoot! It's the Prince of Darkness himself. Got to like the clever facial expressions he makes in this performance.

[Niraham]

Pure awesomeness... I love this incarnation of Miles Davis. I'd say it's Milesadelic...

[MilesTrane21]

Is that a Strat Pete's playing?

[TimFunkB]

Heavy

[spurtfather]

I have seen some freaks in my time but the spitting, muttering dude in the shades is the BIGGEST FUCKING FREAK EVER!!! This is one of the best things I seen on youtube. Utterly Amazing!

[cali22boi]

Miles was booed on the first set. I think he was high for the entire second set. No excuse but its Miles he can fart in my general area for all i care! :)

[LeGueslin]

Un jour Dave Liebman a demandé à Miles pourquoi il l'avait recruté dans son groupe. Et Miles lui répondit en souriant: " People like to see your fingers moving fast, Dave "

[MilesTrane21]

If anyone knows where I can get CDs or DVDs of this specific band, including this concert, please, please, please, send me al link! I have to get some of this bad, bad shit! Thanks :)

[coolfever12]

i think on the tenor sax is Wayne Shorter!

[MilesTrane21]

No, David Liebman. Wayne Shorter is black.

[ememtaow]

and both of them is the BEST!!

[kablooie267]

thats some art right there

[alogli]

g0 d!e

[freqazoidiac]

spontaneous combustion orgasmic ear candy !!!!!

[alogli]

dei mudda is a süßigkeit!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigb934]

Perfect!

but crazy!

but perfect!

[DJNUMBERNINE]

Incredible. Respect.

[zuck21]

dave liebman kicks ass...a lovely guy too met him a few years ago..

[bose8910]

This just wipes me out. It's the deepest darkest groove ever. No band could sound better than this. The guitar makes me writhe in ecstacy.

[midwestmedia]

Anyone know who the bass player is?

[LarsPihl]

The Bassplayer is Michael Henderson (Like His Groovy sound).

[oldguybc]

anyone can post "Paraphernalia" love that album

[longde]

what keyboard is that? a mellotron through a wah wah pedal? It sounds insanely funky...

[marvinkmooneyoz]

foster is almost as much the leader as Miles, atleast on these parts. Personally, i think Dave really came into his own after this period, but he def sounded pretty good then?

[doyve06]

go on then reggie lucas...make that guitar scream,what a man! miles big respect!!

[loneman247]

I guess i was 3 years of age when Miles Davis & his much skilled(instrumental) company performed this one. Who also sparked and introduced OUR style of playing today - rather it be soul,rap,rock, etc. Today's music is the offspring of what Miles was saying, or playing back then. 3 years after the death of Jimi Hendrix(who began the so-called rebel music), that outspoken & felt side of a human being began to be understood equivalent through an elder, "Mr. Miles Davis".

[pffft63]

you are obviously ill informed. you know nothing about European music. Miles stole the concept from others. have you heard ALL of the Herbie Mann output from the sixties. i can tell you haven't

[Wubupon]

I wouldn't call this stealing. That's a little harsh. Musicians can be inspired by other musicians. "Borrowing the concept" sounds better.:) Either way, it's a good groove.

[rayoll]

Al Foster is great here

[gretheflemming]

Great music! Great times!

The guitar guy is Pete Cosey (in one of his less cosy moments), the other guitarist is Reggie Lucas.

This band was really great live - and deafening!

[LADYxGORE]

whos that on guitar?

[MilesTrane21]

Pete Cosey (Sitting) and Reggie Lucas (Standing)

[PhuckHue]

A lot of people missed the point of what Miles was trying to do. You really can't put his electric years in a category. Its not Jazz, Fusion, Funk, R&B or whatever. All you can say is that its instrumental. Of course, everybody stole this concept and called it Fusion

[DimeCrisBag]

INDEED my friend... you've said it all.

[pffft63]

you are not very knowledgable. miles stole his concepts from others.

[DouglasWatts]

He stole them from you, right ?

[rars11]

Who's the white dude on soprano?

[fishermane]

That's crazy Dave Liebman, representing as usual. Thanks for posting this, one of the best live jams I've seen Miles direct, at least for this period. Classic.
