Return To Forever - Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy (From "Returns Live" DVD)

[CloseTheDoor69er]

Jesus, Stanley can play that bass!

[ogrebattle22763]

I love Chick's smile at the end as if to say YES we nailed dead on... they most certainly did - it was great....

[ogrebattle22763]

Amazing just amazing!!!!!!!!

[TheRealTommyRock]

one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen was RTF '76 "Romantic Warrior" Tour, no opening band, 2 sets, 1 electric & 1 acoustic. I thought I might learn some things watching Al D. on guitar, but he was so fast his hands were a blur!

[DlABL0GlCAL]

sounds like Zappa's band . . . . . only stating a fact

[noragloria]

@DlABL0GlCAL That's because the musicians are so great in both bands - able to play ANYTHING.

[rokedetbamidbar]

Thanks for this upload, and especially for the detailed info about this brilliant band.

Truly the most amazing jazz/rock fusion bands ever.

[vipParadise]

Very Super Nice Sounds =D

[Movbot]

Absolute treat last night @ the Regent.

Thrilled to see Jean Luc Ponty in the line up.

[taariqtaariq]

Frank ' widdler widdler' Gambale is playing the Ozzie shows with RTF.

[destroychineseempire]

RTF is by far better than EB

[33bbn53]

i want to see one reason from these people that they dont like

[Aliekesii]

they are greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

[florafox]

i always loved this composition very much though i never was a RTF fan. It is a masterpiece and this version here is absolutely on top.

[taariqtaariq]

I am going to see this Line up  live in Melbourne Australia in Feb 2011.

[durgaaa]

@taariqtaariq I watched these boys in 1975 in San Diego! They've been together that long and I have been closely watching Chick since 1973. When did you start to dig them?

[taariqtaariq]

@durgaaa I have liked RTF since the 1st LP which is subtle and latin influenced. I have been listening to Chic Corea and jazz & jazz rock in general since I was in my early 20's so that makes it 20 years ago now.

[Movbot]

@taariqtaariq See you there been counting down the months, days and now, the hours!

[wendileona]

Fantastic!

[U2006gmx]

Killer video 8)

yeahya

[SergioEHaidukJr]

hell yeah, they're so pro!

[jamesedwardtheobald]

nobody is better than anybody else in music or in the real world; it is all personal preference. slay the egotism!

[mullah06]

Al is GOD LIKE!!! I wold love to hear John McG on this too though - or how about FRIPP!!!

[Coltranized]

Question: Was that a charging Game Boy Advanace SP on Chick's Rhodes?

[jimimuzyk]

I think Bill Connors was better than Meola.

[oldsyphilitic]

Come back Bill Connors- you are sadly missed!

[gbtayc]

This music is genius

[tootniebear]

what can i say,All that & then some!!!!!

[steviemike7]

I'm new to RTF's music who was better di meola or connors?

[rockbandrealitytv]

@steviemike7 Al Dimeola was the best and ultimate fusion guitar player and the fastest speed solos

[STEVE25406]

al still has that awesome ugly tone and that lameass picking technique that made him alegend.if u know shit about guitar u would not slam al.get some meds for your brain delusions.the list is short of those ahead of al

[TauruVikingur]

Al still has that ugly tone...

[supermex3663]

ever listen to sea level?

[TheRenstarmusic]

@gmdinformation , your obviously not a musician and i have nothing against that either....Domaine Romanée-Conti vs Budlight.

[harveythelobsterzbak]

@TheRenstarmusic

i lol'd

[slavnotslave]

And that's how I was "converted" to fusion-jazz long, long time ago. :-)

[TheRenstarmusic]

The Best Rock Fusion Jazz band ever PERIOD

[gmdinformation]

@TheRenstarmusic I've got nothing against them, but if you think they could compare with the Dixie Dregs or Jeff Beck then you ain't been around.

[florafox]

for me RTF always was the second best fusion group ever - after Mahavishnu- but this piece from earlier times is extraordinary good. The studio version had Bill Connors on guitar. Love both versions.

[erikescobar]

Yeeeeeeesss!!!!!! Amzing!!!!!! I love!!!!!!

[123clanger]

this is to me the new universal genre of the 1900s, moving away from old classicals to the new classicals, really exciting, layers upon layers, fast and intriguing, melodic, its has got it all in truck loads, it trully is the rtf,

[crazyedd123]

this sounds great, i could only dream of being able to play that well (and in time with all the others).

sounds like nothing i've ever heard before (although i was reminded of 'YYZ' when they played the main melody)

[maidoodesu]

very nice ! です.

[ABshookme]

The camera settings really pisses me of. You don't see Al Di Meolas or Stanley Clarke fingers in a perfect perspective when they are playing solo on the whole DVD. The men that are filming this are probably used to taking pictures of Britney Spears and not a concert for people with interest in instruments. But its a great concert :-)

[gasparperalta]

el chick corea se ve bien chafa...

[Brando2600]

I don't mean to advertise but if you like these guys you might enjoy RMS...which just happens to be nowhere on youtube except my channel. If you do watch any of them look at Juna the Last.

[r3ck0rd]

Do you know that the tempo is constant all the time? :D

[r3ck0rd]

@r3ck0rd *was

[nedodge0506]

when was this taped?

[kknepple]

ha ha you are a musician I should have known.

[robbysanders92]

we are playing an arrangement of this as our winter percussion show this year :D such a cool song

[mulotwo]

Still impressive !

[haruwebshots]

che tristezza

[Manowarrior99]

jeez lenny realy knows how to wack the drums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[markee2006]

This still sounds amazing makes all the other crap out there redundant

[maiko60]

This is one of the most amazing bands of Rock-Jazz !! Fantastic group of musicians!

[oldwarcraftgamer]

drums= lenny white, right?

[JoeDaTrumpet]

Yea, that's Lenny.

[cherryorchards]

well...all i can say is that i'm really glad i didn't bought this DVD right away as i planned.....

for the newcomers, don't judge Lenny White for this performace alone, he WAS one of the most amazing, grooviest, breathtaking drummers ever, in the 70's.

[EyMeng]

alot of it is the crappy way they mic and record the drums. Sounds like Muzak

[ElTenEleven]

Button up your shirt douchebag

[socksandpistols]

Nah, keep the shirt unbuttoned and add a cape, that would be kickass.

[Dorsch123]

wie macht man diese coolen flams (?) bei 37 sec?

[az58cats]

fucking incredible. If Al just weren't so slow....

[manuelergcruz]

That's a joke right? From the album Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy. Original guitarist for this song was Bill Connors.

[WasyMusicPower]

Al is so funny with his Mafia's attitude...

[jdfromfla]

Wow..I hope Lekezen lives in another country .. Dude get over it or move to Iran or something, I wouldn't wish his form of insanity on anyone..Eagle what a valuable contribution. Thank you!

I understand Al was 15 when he first joined the band..imagine that, playing with Chick and Stanley. DAMN I wish I'd have known they were in Clearwater, they certainly would have earned my money.

[kstrat]

I'm certain Al was a little older than that. When he joined the band in 1974 he was 19, almost 20 years old.

[ChuckNorrisCutsMyLaw]

Is Chick still a member of that nut job cult Tom Cruise is involved in? If so that's too bad

[lucadepu]

i think he's still in gay sceintology

[oldwarcraftgamer]

i do not even know why he joined that shit .. it is kinda surprising such a genious cares about that bullshit, he should be too smart 4 that-.-

[d1versify]

who do u mean?and what shit?

[dreadtodred]

unbelievable control

[bonfirejovi]

what concert was this?

[eaglerocktv]

All the info should be in the "more info" section, or in the "Statistics & Data" tab underneath the video.

Thanks

James

[Marcosblas]

jazzrocksma... you are so lucky! contrats an save that memories..!

lekezenman... you need some Prozac. Just an eagle! You are nothing to do with a "zen-man"... actually.

eaglerocktv... simply brilliant! Thanks for the music.

[lekezenman]

Fuck you self -called Eagle Vision.

We are a human society and will combat

you as long as you fuck us up with your cameleonistic radical american EAGLE-shit!

Who needs you here but YOURSELF?

YOU KNOW THAT ANSWER!

[eaglerocktv]

Woah! A bit angry maybe? Eagle Rock / Eagle Vision is actually based in the UK, so slightly off the mark there, but full marks for trying.

No-one needs me here, but a lot of people seem to like us being here.

Unlucky man, you'll have to fight the good fight elsewhere.

Peace bro.

[LioKangster]

haha, you came to youtube, and this is what you get XD

[DCT0000]

haha holy shit. lol

[crazyedd123]

@eaglerocktv wow i see what you mean. i never really made a connection to eagle tv being american, it's to do with the video quality right? like eagle eyes etc

[pegleyjr]

Hey, I wasn't there!

[Hotze5000]

Hate to say that - but this is pretty untight...

[Apacathybas]

I kinda agree .. It's still good but ..

[fantastik59]

Guauuuuuuu, esto si que es bueno me encanta , exelentes musicos. gracias

[kc768]

Sounds like they are in top form. No signs of rust, and sounds fresh as ever.

[michaelofpetaluma]

I was in the 4th row in San Francisco !!!!

[jazzrocksma]

hey ... I was in the first row at this concert in Montreux ;)

[UncleAron]

Amazing!
