Bitchin Bitches Brew



[madhatte73]

Much better, deeper, and more interesting than I would have expected. This is a solid performance.

[GITTZA]

You guys did great! I was a bit sceptical because I thought it wouln't have that edgy sound and that no one could replicate the effects of the Bitches Brew Sessions (the trumpet effects and the bizzare keyboard tones mostly). This is a good interpretation.

[SurdinMusicUnlimited]

Wonderfully INTENSE performance.

[SurdinMusicUnlimited]

Wonderfully INTENSE performance.

[merlinchanelle]

Great band great sound.

[RareNoiseRecords]

Understood, thank you - what DJ do you think would be more appropriate?

[RareNoiseRecords]

Understood, thank you

[uninoculated]

I could live without the DJ scratching at the end, that is so passé and inappropriate, also sounds like its in the wrong key. A DJ can have a place in here,they just need to play UP to this level and not bring the music down to every rap hip hip song.

[RareNoiseRecords]

@uninoculated

Could you please be more precise: in what sense inappropriate, why passe' (remember the recording is from 2006), what key should it be in, what DJ did you have in mind to bring the music UP to this level (what level?) and not down to "every rap hip hip song" (do not understand this statement at all - please clarify)

Thank you

[uninoculated]

@uninoculated I liked everything the DJ was doing until the scratching, kind of microtonal at times, isn't it? and the scratching pulse is in a different tempo? Inappropriate in that it sounds like he's playing Voodo Child over the top of music that up until then felt fresh and inventive.  imho, I don't want to be thinking about voodo child or run-dmc walk this way at the end of that creative journey.

[RareNoiseRecords]

[uninoculated]

Best cover of BB I've ever heard. Nothing even comes close. This is exciting and an adventure, a journey.

[seerskater]

hell yeah, this is what its about. i wanna jam with you guys.

[prsshred39]

you guys don't get it, do you?

for fuck's sake, miles would be happy that these guys are putting their own take on the song. and goodieblunts (your name betrays your dumbassery) before you diss on them using "gizmos", miles used that and more in the studio to create the song. the A sections of bitches brew on both sides of the B section are the exact same recording, cut and pasted in the studio.

all in all, good version of a great tune, and the audience definitely enjoyed it.

my two cents.

[kindasorta39]

I think this is very cool.

[Bobbelden]

Adolph, where have you been?

[sclogse1]

Sounds good...just starting listening.....but no Bass CLarinet....no bitches brew....and fatten up that bass.

[sclogse1]

Sounds good...just starting listening.....but no Bass CLarinet....no bitches brew....

[Bobbelden]

A CD of this show will be release very soon on Rare Noise Records.

[challenger9001]

really makes you appreciate the original.

[carsanookdotcom]

I LIKE - a lot

[SEKSHINATE]

MAN nice job guy's.I have not had a chance to get my YOUTUBE/ONLINE CRITIC'S masters degree like some of the people on here if and when I do I promise to come back and say something shitty about this until then I'll say as a musician of 17yrs you guy's pulled it off.And all the times I've seen DJ.Logic you would figure I knew what he looked like man was I off out of 15x that i have seen him (well been there while he was playing) I thought he was black I will rue the days that I ever ingested

[Bobbelden]

In the USA we can do anything we want!!!! That's the point.

FYI, Rare Noise Records will release this concert on CD and iTunes very soon!!!

[mars4muse]

Screw all of the detractors!! I loved this! Bought the original double album back in '69 and your interpretation blew me away!! Well done!!!

[mars4muse]

@Bobbelden Screw all of the detractors!! I loved this! Bought the double album back in '69 and this interpretation blew me away!! Well done!!

[piratepantsfromhell]

Um, uh, you guys know that Miles uses effects on the album right? It's not that big of a deal...just sayin'. Anyway, what's the point of doing an exact recreation of an improv album? I thought it was a fun reinterpretation guys.

[IanSinty]

Fierce. A very interesting, original take on the material. I think Miles would of dug this.

[FelonyWeight]

I really enjoyed this....Thanks for sharing.

-One

[RareNoiseRecords]

Contrary to all of the rather retrograde comments I just read, I think this material is really quite interesting.

[billphinizy]

Very hip!

[talkingwall]

pretty cool Bob. I had an 'lectric Miles band back in Phoenix until I moved due to a family emergency (in Indianapolis these days). I played guitar and keys in that band. We also threw in a little King Crimson (Schizoid Man) in our shows, they really cooked. I like what you're doing here and I know why you did it ;-) - this music deserves to be made present in a live setting.

[goodieblunts]

its a disgrace to see so called "musicians" using all these fancy gizmos and gadgets to recreate the unrecreatable. 

[Bobbelden]

yes we are disgraceful. next week I will have the entire band sent to the gulag for retraining. i am so sorry that we have made you so upset. I promise that this will never happen again. Your opinion is what I live for. I have instructed the musicians union to revoke our membership. We will sell all gizmos and focus on instruments that you may find appealing, like sticks and stones, pieces of chalk and a raw fish.

[emmadetten]

@Bobbelden jeez belden you sound as uptight as you did when I was at new school. "You're my new student? Here listen to this. It's me on the tenor...yeah I know...it's, um, just another tenorsolo...one sec gotta take this call (50 min later) oh ok where were we...yeah! check out these outaprint miles records"

Nice solo, but maybe be a bit closer to the mike. Hell what do I know. Wayne didn't solo on this. What happened to the F F D D Eb Eb C C Db Db Bb Bb progression over the C drone in pt 1?

[Bobbelden]

Now Now Mr. Bitterman.....

[electrickabuki]

@emmadetten all that theory knowledge and no understanding of music........such a common shame these days.....

start learning son ;)

/watch?v=zbR6YZs8hqs

[gitisinee]

@Bobbelden

you better should learn how to entitle you videos right. it´s a COVER, ok??

[mikegrecamusic]

@goodieblunts I think you need a hug!

[TallManUTube]

@goodieblunts ...did he really call Kinsey and Garrison "so called musicians"...?

[punchingdoll]

there r some stupid comments posted here. i don't expect many musos (other than jazz literate) have a slightest idea what it takes and how complicated it is to make this jazz funk modal impro free music.

don't even reply to these ignorant kids...someday they might grow up or not.don't really matter. 5 out of 6 don't dig jazz these days anyway. it's not their fault to be how they r n where they r now n where they will b in the future.

we just offer n offer n 1 out of 6 digs it. n that is it.

[Auditory42]

gets warmed up by 4:23

[zachmagnum]

Wow great job. I felt like my veins were melting

[stxyn]

Well, your trumpet player's got something going on there. He don't sound like Miles, but it sounds like he belongs. Is that tenor sax? Isn''t there an alto sax on the original with a great bass-line: ba-da-dum da-da-dump doodle-dum-dum, ba-da-da-dum.

[trumpetman80]

what´s the point of doing something like this? if i wana hear bitches brew i listen to the original by miles davis.. i dont get it...oh well.

[Bobbelden]

I think the US Constitution gives me the right to do this. Read it some time and it may inspire you to finish high school...

[goldenchopsticks]

This composition, especially the bassline, makes me feel like im walking in a factory where sound is made.

[Evangivesafuck]

cheers!

[jvlivs2]

Almost sounds like the original cut note for note! Love it!

[car2nehed]

nice work on the keys! is that a kaoss pad?

[nimbusthenoodle]

Ya's got me! Man, that drummer kicks! Ace!

[IvoryK2]

lol

[smalloryjr]

the sound fx r cool

[Funkatronical]

Micheal Moore plays keys!!!

[fulsomstryk]

I thought the exact same thing and then I read your comment! haha

[dunnnerr]

hahahahaha

[aarfeld]

@Funkatronical: Well, that movie thing didn't really work out. :-)

[damnote]

Awesome!!!

[iamcraiger]

good job.. great drumming!

[pantherius]

Miles had the talent to be innovative. He never followed fashion, never fell into formula, and always went forward.

Great cover, by the wat.

[josepolo950]

yes you are very boring !!!

[EsveldtCamine9]

I didn't know Micheal Moore played piano...

[fascistamericadotnet]

neither did he - he was drugged especially for this performance.

[aarfeld]

The overall quality of this recording is poor, but the drums in particular sound awful: like banging on garbage cans.

[blammerator]

although i can't dissect the music like many skilled musicians can, I definitely can tell that this is really intense.

it totally creeeped me out though not sure if im the only one, i got a very very deep sense of fear and like far-away-ness

[bmuhamad]

I Agree! The Times where ripe with electricity. You smell and taste the vitamins. As Is Now. Peace.

[bmuhamad]

Eddie Harris Said Miles stole his idea for

Bitches Brew, From his Free Speech...

Only in another Key. What Do You Think?

[WriteMoment]

i somewhat feel you...

but when you look @ when miles made this, and the imagination of where this song could take you.......

Eddies version is just that... Eddies version. Dont get me wrong this is amazing.

But it's just simply classical!

[pantherius]

Miles went  somewhere else with his take...

[bmuhamad]

Okay, he did.

[palipabloac]

no swing from garrison at all....and theres a misconception on the first idea of miles in the first part(0:00 up to 2:40); the bass plays 2 notes then 1 ,then all the band hits the fourth accent...listen to bitches brew apart from that cool version

[hipsterparadise]

this song just popped into my head out of nowhere...and i had to hear it. if it really is akin to masturbation, i think it's a lot like that of a hot college coed on her webcam. it's the kind of masturbation i can't get enough of. write it off however you like, but i dig this record, and respect anyone who will play it with some soul.

[sega62s]

Thanks for posting this video, i'm happy to know that some people care about good music in this world.Miles did some amazing stuff, and was very open to different styles.

Keep it up!

[bolillo239]

this is jazz at it's best!

[samaroh]

Maybe you are right if someone else had come up with this music it would have been dimissed but isn't that just the way things work? History can attest to that, Van gogh died in poverty. Art if often appreciated posthumously.

[bill18286]

It's intellectual masturbation, not music. Miles pushed hard from the day he started playing trumpet, and until the late 60's was 10 years ahead of everyone else, creating a new sound that, later, everyone would come to covet. By '69 however, he had pushed too far, gone beyond the limits of music into his own little world. Everyone says this is brililant because it's Miles and we don't understand it; had anyone else come up with this record, it would have been dismissed completely.

[doa50]

I am sorry for you. You "don't understand it?"

[samaroh]

Don't agree with you Bill. Music is something which cuts through anything intellectual, although that's what may well be behind it.

We are presented with sound. Pure and simple. What happens next is up to you. Do you feel it? Or are you concerned with placing it in a context etc?

[gingerfuck45]

I guess it's a good thing Miles was the one to create it.

[POLICYHOLDER4U]

"intellectual materbation" wtf. I sthis what you have reduced the music to. its music created by an  intellectual mastermindof music . it wasnt traditional but it was as well mesmerizing. ;ahead of his time maybe not...just creative thinking and a lot more. or less for you who cant appreciate the change whenever it ocurred. it occcurred. its instrumental. not words that you use but in his own word interpret it however you like . o Miles which he decided to share with us, the active listeners

[TheGuyWhoHasFun]

truth is noboy knows

[jaydude214]

soooo sick love the fx sounds so sick adds more of a herbie sextant kinda feel into it

[videolover61]

Funnnny!!!! Y'all are bums!!!! Good one...

[videolover61]

These guys sound good but they should have dressed for the gig!!! Dress like Miles would have for the date. See these guys look like bums!!!

[Bobbelden]

we are bums....

[goldenchopsticks]

@Bobbelden Haha good answer.

[paranoidandroid3232]

Thanks for this video..amazing!

[nnuS13]

love the beginning! Very metal intro, almost doom/drone metal! Creepy but interesting.

[jamak42]

NICE!!!

[standasone37]

HOLEY COW!! Some of my favorite musicians playing music from the man who pathed the way for fusion music! Never seen this video before!

[jazziesax]

Simply amazing...Bitches Brew has to be one of the best solos/songs EVER.

[Orsino89]

Bob Belden's the man.

[ricluvno304s]

OH......YEAH!

[drumier]

excellent cover!

[chule86]

Drummer looks like Brian Chase from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs...

And fucking Scott Kinsey! Volto, no?

[Gheti]

Cool, they gave it their own twist with the tempo and groove, made it very modern (not that the original doesn't sound modern by any means). I actually like it a lot slower how Miles played it. They have it at like 135 BPM whereas he would play sometimes half that speed (around 70 BPM) to really let the groove settle in. On the original recording he has it at about 100 BPM. But either way, this is still cool.

[forkinkossake]

who are these people to judge the music, when they can not spell a simple word properly?

[TheLedBalloon]

They are the posters on youtube. Obviously, since they have the half of a brain cell required to register, they have the authority to make the important decisions, about how much better this one band that poster A likes is than the completely unrelated band that posters B-F were talking about. Welcome to youtube.

[chris888889]

drumming was very interesting, liked that a lot.

Keyboard player has horrible tone

[fulzgy]

good cover. fusion good. music good

[orsino2]

michael moore is a badass jazz musician

[MetalliTooL]

hah

[wanker6957]

yeah exactly, who gives a shit what miles wants. i get tired of ppl riding his jock. most of the major innovations were by members of his bands not him.

oh and i seriously doubt live poetry bullshit holds a candle to scott kinsey and matt garrison.

no thanks ill pass.

[digimaton]

"most of the major innovations were by members of his bands not him" bullshit you fuckwit, who made it happen?

[wanker6957]

...uh?

"the members of his bands"

isn't that self explanatory?

[digimaton]

He placed players in particular contexts.

Davis created context; and did so inumerable times, throughout jazz history, while others were scratching their balls, you seem to miss this point.The man is a legend, deal with it.

[samadhist]

I don't think anyone is doubting his ability as a band leader. You need to chill. Being a band leader is just /different/ when you talk about innovation. An innovative player is not the same as an innovative arranger or band leader. They're just /different/ types of innovation. In the future, take your antisocial attitude to World of Warcraft, asshole.

[digimaton]

Follow the thread next time before jumping in with your self-righteous waffle. Innovation is innovation, the original post cast doubts regarding Davis's significance. He was a 'major' innovator in jazz both as a player and as a band leader, anyone who doubts this simply does not know their history.

[gandalfreldnik]

he also directed his selected players very closely. john mclaughlin didn't play like "john mclaughlin" even on the piece of music that was named for him:) miles was a very strong minded leader who had clear textural ideas, brilliant...

[hangfireshot]

Hey, you play this very well!

[puremagic1]

why is michael moore playing keeys :P

[hrandacher]

sturgeons law is right with everything. this is not what miles would like to see. but anyway this is a solid performance.

[utviklingssang]

oh fuck off does it matter if it was what 'miles wanted to see'? these guys, bloody good musicians, heard some music which they loved, and wanted to play something like it themselves, which they did. and very very well. if you like the music then what the fuck is your problem?

[MaddyMill]

Misleading!

[SturgeonsLaw]

But it is very very well played, my above comment notwithstanding I give it 4 out of 5.

[SturgeonsLaw]

This is a really solid cover but I agree that it misses the point somewhat. A true Miles tribute is to do something completely new that most people hate but realize 10 years later was genius. Sacvibe, samurai's comment was more flamey than this vid deserves but his faves kick yours square in the nuts and take their lunch money. Def poetry jam in particular is more in line with Miles' creative heritage than this is, IMO.

[funkbeastbasslover]

why wouldnt Miles Davis enjoy knowing that people enjoyed his music so much that they would want to pay homage to him by performing his music. its not like there a cover band with musicians who only copy Miles Davis, just a collection of excellent musicians who love Miles Davis

[phenomenonnon]

I think it's lovely. It's homage and invention, which is a hard line to straddle.

[mikeh69]

hey man if this the same bob belden im thinking of....you all should show not just respect but all respect and bow to this man

[jazzpiano10]

sounds realistic, but totally missing the point of what miles was doing; being creative and unique

[greengirl329]

in the same monosyllabic awe:

wow!

[oliver159]

damn...

[tokoloko]

drums

[noonward]

Niiiiice.
