This band is still amazing. Bill Connors isn't involved (unfortunately), but Chick has not lost a minute fraction of his fire. Stanley is more brilliant than ever. Al and Lenny still have it. If you have to drive a few hundred to see one band- see this band.
How can you not love the talent of Bill Connors!? What a fabulous guitarist. And Chick Corea never played electric piano like that again in his career...never. This was the Return to Forever that shook the world for one glorious LP.
@timages And back then in 1973, no one played like Connors - no one. Even the well known jazz vanguard would say this. He was somehow special. His solos came out of nowhere on notes that you really weren't expecting. There was a fire coming from somewhere accompanied by devilish technique. Chic was Downbeat composer of the year because of his compositions from this iconic album. Never got to see Connors - saw Earl Klugh on this tour then DiMeola afterwards.
it's a sad thing this was inspired by that massive religious scam known as Scientology
