This is part of the October 27 Miles Davis Show in 1973, in Stockholm, recorded by Swedish TV. I just wish this concert was available in better picture quality. Only very short excerpts of this show have surfaced in decent quality, for example on the dvd "A different kind of blue" about the 1970 Miles concert on the Isle of Wight. Cheers Hans
Check out the saxophonist chewing his lips off in the opening seconds ... I don't know what shit he's been snorting or smoking but I wouldn't mind trying it.
Judging by the later stages of the sax intro, I'd say he's having a full blown whitey.
@butterthiefmusic Al Foster is on drums, wears awesome hat. Pete Cosey, lead guitar, sinister solos, also worked with Muddy Waters n Howlin Wolf, blew my mind on Agharta and Dark Magus. Michael Henderson, bass badass. Reggie Lucas, rhythm guitar, produced Madonna albums. Dave Liebman, sax, white, cool, often looks and sounds like a loud bird. James Mtume, percussion, sampled in Notorious B.I.G's "Juicy", spanked critic Stanley Crouch. Miles Davis, trumpet, band leader, Prince of Darkness.
these comments are realy funny. is there a woman amoung you and what age do you have? 25, 50, 70? just wanne know, who listens to that stuff. sure i love it too. since a 'while'.
The guitarist is Pete Cosey. Awesome. I saw this band in 1973. I walked in and couldn't sit down. They were so driving and grooving. Ignore the poor sound quality. The best!
and the guitar player - Pete Cosey - is marvellous. Look at allmusic for his discography and get the picture.
@MonkeyKingNicholas - I don't think anyone is pissed here. Miles played with Cosey up until '75, they've been recording 4 lp's together - nice interview on thelastmiles . com.
@guysaxophone Hey doesn't suck. Liebman's one of the geniuses of our time. He was just in a Trane phase at the time that would otherwise confuse his listeners because it wasn't exactly "funk" playing.
Amazing how they built it up to Miles coming in! truly a group, Leib played his butt off then Cosey. Michael Henderson holding down the bottom with Al Foster grooving on drums, maybe Mtume on congas and Reggie Lucas on rhythm guitar.Miles is so unselfish but is a master leader and the piece is great when one listens to the whole as it may have seemed cluttered at first.- Fc
I saw miles with this very band in 74 at a small upstairs club in Philly...Miles was stoned out of his mind and could hardly walk(knee replacement surgery).They played for 45 minutes with 1/2 the time Miles not being on stage..Total rip-off
yeah Mtume is the cool cat playing the congas - this (Calypso Frelimo) is off the Miles joint "Get Up With It", which i feel may b he's funkiest album ever, between this, "rated x, red china blues, mtume & billy preston" - that album is sick!
70's musicians and music was SOOO COOL. All this guys wanted to do was make music. Good music, timeless music, music that took you away to another space and time.
Miles had already done the traditional ala Gil Evans. This was his time to experiment. It was the times/drugs. etc. Who cares what the traditionalists thought anyway, it's still just thier opinion. Just as this is mine. Love this video.
Calypso Frelimo, Africa y su camino a la liberación de las grandes colonias, es 1973 , todavía las grandes dictaduras , dictan su política de opresión,robo y enajenación y la música de Miles no es ajena a esta realidad.Maravilloso Liebman, cohesionada la banda que logró uno de los álbumes mas atrayentes de la época: "Get Up With It ", homenaje a Duke.Invaluable registro Gracias Miles Dewey.
@TobyWonKenoby if you laid out a huge pile a Coke, you'd see both of them there at the same time. LOL! Funny thing is, Sly is still alive today, and Miles ain't. Always thought Sly would drop first. Not that that's wishful thinking, Sly and Miles are the best that it gets in black music. And James Brown and G. Clinton too.
@BigBuddha3 Man, that is like one of the best drunk comment I've ever read on Youtube. If I was drunk with you in Germany listening to this stuff in some pub, I would have to give you a "cheers," mate. Music is the thing that makes humanity one. Excellent comment, my Bavarian friend.

@BigBuddha3 Geez, asshole. Then why don't learn how put your correct country on your profile? I was just trying to be nice, you prick!!! Nevermind then. I guess I would tell you what a wanker you are if I saw you in a pub. Go back to freezing in that shit hole called Russia. Fuck off instead, bitch.
@BigBuddha3 No prob. I don't take it too hard. I was kind of wondering why you went off because I was trying to say that I liked your comment. I just happen to wonder about you profile, so I looked and it said your country is Germany. So, I just added the Bavarian thing because of Germany. I actually grew up with some Russians in the USA. So, it was just a misunderstanding. It happens, so it's all good and no problem, bro.
Miles, Pete Cosey (gt,perc), Mike Henderson (bs), Reggie Lucas (gt), Dave Liebman (saxes,flt), Mtume (cngas,perc,) and Al Foster (dr). Known as the "Funk Collective" in thru Miles' fans. The saxophonist would change, but the rythm section remained the same. Miles in May 1974 added a 3rd guitarist, Dominique Gaumont, though he didn't stay through the rest of 1974 due to a terrible drug habit.
Anyone in love with Miles' early 70's period should buy the Complete Cellar Doors Box ! Where 6 geniuses meet for a few nights of unbelievably high quality music + raw & coherent energy. A few months after Bitches Brew sessions (with significant line up changes though : Keith Jarett, Gary Bartz, Michael Henderson...)
Al Foster is the highlight of this for me....head down, pedal to the metal...he's droning almost, dynamically speaking. Some really hip shit here, WAAAAAAY ahead of its time.
fast forward about 50 years, where these guys kids are somewhere involved with music...what are they making? and if they are making music, will it be similar to the music introduced in the movie "Children of Men"? otherwise the future of music is recycled, refurbished, unoriginal, overdone, overprocessed pieces of shit i hate the radio for playing...
so jams are also an experiment? this is music. wild. the real thing. this doesnt mean other types of music are not real music...but playing live this way is so real.
with all due respect to this nice band, it's hard to compare it with the initial two-three years of Miles Bitches Brew Era. I am talking about young GIANTS like Dave Holland, Chick Corea, Jack Dejohnette, Airto Moreira. The music these guys made with Miles in 1969, 1970 and 1971 was revolutionary. It was groovy, but also technically complex and challenging. Bitches Brew itself is a musical Manifesto.
I'm a huge fan of Live Evil. The most uncanny band I ever heard...and that voice coming in at the end..."Inamorata, you are tomorrow's unknown known life. I love tomorrow.." Then the band comes back in out some smoldering cauldron of liquid lava...and finishes it off with the baddest groove ever. And don't get me started on Miles and Keith's play on What I Say.... unequaled.
Actually Jimi used a Moreley pedal a lot, Miles also used that and a Vox, and also a device called the Multivider and also an Octivator, those were freq splitters and multipliers allowing way more range than you can get from a normal horn.
Band of Giants... I prefer the '74-'75 lineup with Sonny Fortune, but Leibman rocks too... and then Miles.. who else could dream this up?? Urgent as hell...
its not synthesized. if your talking about the sound of his horn, he played thru a cry-baby wah wah pedal, same as the one Hendrix used. And on his YC45 organ, he used the wah pedal also.
This band is much funkier with the departure of Liebman. the 1975 Japan tour starting in Jan.(Agharta & Pangaea are included with this tour) with Sonny Fortune on saxes and flute show a more cohesive and funkier ensemble of musicians. Dark Magus showed that the band was on their way to what Agharta is supposed to be. Its just another Columbia release to me. Guess its because I have had plenty access to unreleased and bootlegs between 1968-1975.
Those stares that Miles gives....jeez. Peter Cosey always seemed like such a bad ass...the hair and dark glasses...but he's a great warm guy. One thing about being the conga player...nobody ever complains about the congas. After bitches brew nobody could ever saw that Miles was playing the same old stuff with a new band...Miles took it of the planet.
If anyone knows where I can get any live recordings of this specific band, please contact me. I can't find any but Dark Magus and I could do without the extra sax and guitar players. Thanks. :)
This most of the 1975 Agharta band, except Sonny Fortune is replaced by Stefan Grossman (?) on sax and flute. Sounds it too. Miles channeling Louis Armstrong.
there are like 10 people on the stage no one needs to play that many notes. why didn't miles put that too many noodley note crap on his records? Teo Macero edited it out because it sucks.
Wow... what a bad attitude Miles has! Mean, moody, magnificent - you wouldn't want to piss him off. Genius! Somewhere between Sugar Ray Robinson and Prince, haha.
I believe this is a version of "Calypso Frelimo", the version on "Dark Magus" is more guitars! What a band!! Mtume ("Juicy Fruit"), Reggie Lucas (Madonna early co-producer), Mike (You are My Starship) Henderson who was a descendant of the world's best player...the late James Jamerson!
The Miles Davis band's 1973 performances are pretty well-documented (in terms of concert recordings and some filmed performances).
I've never come across any video footage from '74 or '75 (the Dark Magus/Agharta/Pangaea years). A shame, as I feel the band (and in particular Pete Cosey's guitar style) reached great heights in '75.
THEYZ ALL FCKD UP!!

There is a difference to when miles plays using the wah with open or muted horn. if youre familiar with Miles then you can listen and hear this.
cali22boi 3 years ago
Dude... Hendrix used a Vox wah-wah, not the Cry-Baby. Common misconception, though.

thank you for the correction. i realized that a few days ago looking at some pics of hendrix.

With just a wave of his mighty hand, Miles commands his powerhouse to stop...then continue.
Isn't it funny how Dave falters at 1:59?

Dark Magus is my personal favourite... =)

This band is much funkier with the departure of Liebman. the 1975 Japan tour starting in Jan.(Agharta & Pangaea are included with this tour) with Sonny Fortune on saxes and flute show a more cohesive and funkier ensemble of musicians. Dark Magus showed that the band was on their way to what Agharta is supposed to be. Its just another Columbia release to me. Guess its because I have had plenty access to unreleased and bootlegs between 1968-1975.

Those stares that Miles gives....jeez. Peter Cosey always seemed like such a bad ass...the hair and dark glasses...but he's a great warm guy. One thing about being the conga player...nobody ever complains about the congas. After bitches brew nobody could ever saw that Miles was playing the same old stuff with a new band...Miles took it of the planet.

If anyone knows where I can get any live recordings of this specific band, please contact me. I can't find any but Dark Magus and I could do without the extra sax and guitar players. Thanks. :)

Calipso Frelimo is on the Get Up With It album. Get the later released CD's... much better sound. A really intrigueing piece.
SCLOGSE 4 years ago
This most of the 1975 Agharta band, except Sonny Fortune is replaced by Stefan Grossman (?) on sax and flute. Sounds it too. Miles channeling Louis Armstrong.

That's David Liebman on sax.

yet another perfectly decent jam ruined by a saxaphone player and a noodley guitarist.
flagrantsake 4 years ago
saxaphone is actually spelt "saxophone" sorry.
and by the way - this isn't a jam it's a gig.
dpbUK 4 years ago
it is a gig... but they are "jamming" y'know?
ole20mufc 4 years ago
that's not the way Miles saw it. It is HIS gig with HIS band. A jam is where people who've never played with each other before jam together.
They do have heads (somewhere) and the interaction is much better than a jams' interaction.

sax player is smokin', dude. what you talkin about?
immortaltekneek 4 years ago
there are like 10 people on the stage no one needs to play that many notes. why didn't miles put that too many noodley note crap on his records? Teo Macero edited it out because it sucks.

i'm also not that wild about the guitar playing at times. it's there cuz that's what Miles was 'hearing'

It's probably John McLaughlin. He was on the session recorded.
Michael

That guy looks nothing like McLaughlin and sounds less like him. It's Pete Cosey. Check out the Miles Electric DVD.

Agree, don't know how you could even see the guitarist! I tried looking and just caught glimpses. Good stuff though 'eh?
MichaelGalvan 4 years ago
He's all over the screen from 3:27 to 3:40 and from 4:01 to 4:48.

McLaughlin was a white guy. Pretty unmistakably NOT him.

who is the guitarist? i forget. pretty unique phrasing. me like!
danelectroman70 5 years ago
I believe this is a version of "Calypso Frelimo", the version on "Dark Magus" is more guitars! What a band!! Mtume ("Juicy Fruit"), Reggie Lucas (Madonna early co-producer), Mike (You are My Starship) Henderson who was a descendant of the world's best player...the late James Jamerson!

The Miles Davis band's 1973 performances are pretty well-documented (in terms of concert recordings and some filmed performances).
I've never come across any video footage from '74 or '75 (the Dark Magus/Agharta/Pangaea years). A shame, as I feel the band (and in particular Pete Cosey's guitar style) reached great heights in '75.
