  • @theillfrisch: That's Pete Cosey, who was with Miles's band from 1973 through '75, when they disbanded due to Miles's health problems of the late '70s. Pete is still active on the Jazz scene and leads the band The Chlldren of Agratha. Named for one of Miles's albums, the band is a repertoirey band featuring the music of Miles's electric period.

  • @aarfeld Interesting info, you mean "Agharta"?

  • @earospace: Yes, Agharta. sorry for the misspelling.

  • He is the son of Charlie Parker, i'm sure Charlie would like electricity-Davis!!!!

  • what studio album is this song also on?

    thanks!

  • @cheeezdooodle it's hard to tell on this phase, but that Bass riff appears on Dark Magus.

  • @lukeswalls OK- thanks!

  • y'all gotta get the cellar door cessions. insane.

    not knocking on this vid this is great as well (thanks for posting!!!)

    cellar door is 71, just a bit before.

  • Wow he really sounded like Hendrix with the wah wah pedal! Now I get it! Fantastic. That was amazing. He's not constrained by the usual urge to be melodic, hes playing notes and creating sounds sort of inbetween majors and flats. Wow. Thats blown me away. Thanks for posting.

  • Ummm...I mean...well what I'm trying to say is...am I going out on a limb here when I say that these guys do a relatively kickass job of setting the mood here?

  • Dave Liebman is hot with Miles !

  • TOCA MUITO!!!

    RAÇA UNIP!!!!

  • I must say, though fasion has little to do with music in my honest opinion (not perception), this has got to be the snazziest dressing groups of cats that can play shit you dream up and can never express. This is the music I've been hearing in my head since childhood.

  • 40 years later.....and if you dont get it by now....go elsewhere kids...

    come back in another 40..... and if you dont get by then.....

    come back in another 40...... then go to the back room with the revolver.

  • The filming is fantastic. I was early 70's!

  • This is Ife...Amazing how many different versions there are of this song..

  • How the hell can Michael Henderson play the same thing over and over forever and yet make it sound new and fresh with every repetition? WOW... And Al Foster is layin' it down DEEP. This was one of the GREATEST rhythm sections ever.

  • @jonsilence Listen how he plays with that simple line, turning the beat around etc

  • The Man...The Myth...The Legend...The One and Only Miles Davis! The DaVinci of Music!

  • MD 20-20...'sum bad s***!

  • Geile Zeit, Geile Musik !!!! die sog. 70er waren sowieso das beste überhaupt

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ON YOUTUBE

  • Its so blatenly obvious, if i had to choose one man's music to listen to for rest of my life itd be Miles. It aint even close. Well, mabe Hendrix, but still.... Id have so many different types of music, all of which are being played at the highest level. Shit id even be able to listen to some hip hop!

  • Is this from the Bitches Brew era?

  • @marshallman83

    On the corner / Get up with it erea...

  • but how do u know if he played well or bad ? u all just say what u think ur supposed to say but how would u all react if miles said "sorry i played bad tonight" ?

  • @realmadridvideos what a horrible question

  • @realmadridvideos Miles' music wasn't about Miles. Paradoxically, it was all about Miles. It's not his playing (as great as it is) that people 1,000 years from now will remember--it's the music he was able to draw out of the musicians in his band to create a specific and sublime sound that people will be talking about.

  • that's one genius if ever was one.

  • BAD ASS!! Miles "bad ass" Davis  ...in the throws of busting the walls of the Norm down to the ground... smoldering, crumbled, pulverized walls left piled-up in a heep. Thnx for the post, milesdewey!

  • Papa Miles .

    Tripeando ...

  • damn this shit is...SOCEROUS!!!

  • Really digging this.

  • robert johnson the blues man did that.

  • beam me up , '70's miles' was made for acid fiends. Pangea is amazing high on LSD. Thank Goodness for You tube and miles davis.

  • Why are you hating on mongoose? I thought it was well established that he was rude to most people. In fact, a lot of people consider his being standoffish as an attractive attribute that contributed to his persona.

  • @thatsprettygood I read that it was also becuase he is very shy, hence i apparent aloofness and rudeness, this could be an extension of that.

  • i think when you are in the audience that you are already very happy to see and hear this.

    you all talk about being jerk but what does it matter and i think you cannot understand this person fully (me neither)

  • According to the biography, Miles never did acid. During this set he was in a lot of pain from surgerys following his car crash on NY Expressway. Pain meds.

  • miles seems like an asshole and yes i know of his genius and importance.

  • Oh yeah, he really was. Total jerk. I mean, he'd turn his back on the audience for an entire piece. He cared so much about the music that he ignored the people who basically made him famous.

    Still totally kicking trumpet player, though.

  • yeah i'd have to agree. Was he on acid when he was playing? I've never seen a musician look like he's that freakin high before lol

  • i think that's awesome that he cared about the music more than the fans who made him famous. That is all the musician should be concerned with especially when making improvised music. if it were pop music he would be an asshole but it's not

  • Why is turning your back on the audience automatically bad? The old "everybody solos but nobody solos" setup could just mean he was trying to get the audience to look at whoever was playing right then. Besides that he was directing all the other musicians with very subtle cues.

  • but I bet he plays trumpet better'n you.

  • Just a wah pedal

  • i was there it was magic

    miles very angry though at first

  • these guys are so stoned!!!! its cool tho'

  • michael henderson at ronnie scotts sep 21-23 uk electric miles

  • Song title is "Ife"

  • ok , this song is in " Big fun " cd , but where I can find This version ? cd or dvd ... and sorry for my english ...

  • please ! somebody tell me the name of this song !

  • Ife

  • wow i love watching his hands.

  • I'd rather listen to this Davis era than most music ever.

  • @HendrixPrinceFlea89 Miles fusion era and avant-garde are the best compositions ever! Kind of blue is a classic, but Electric and Bitches brew make me travel to out of this world!

  • Cool !!!!!

  • Bad-ass mother-fucka. Great experimental era in 20th century music.

  • strange period in Davis' music carrier

  • haha he's high out of his mind in this performance, still plays a mean trumpet though

  • F*ck yeah! that's the sh*t you don't hear in the elevator.

    How can some of these jazz guys now even live with themselves?

    Don't they listen to this?

    Jazz has become a joke....Time for a revival......

  • its everywhere! beautiful music happening all the time just gotta keep your ears open ;)

  • I wish I could paint like he plays

  • The fact that he got away with this is a perfect example of just how much of a badass he really was.

  • How Miles could get away with this stuff....and make it good. It's like nothing is happening, and yet it is still deep. It's the conversation, man.

    I'm steppin out a bit on this...but I always felt that from Bitches thru the 70's, Miles was doing his spin on what Coltrane was doing in the 60's towards the end. It's like Miles took it and put his "thing" on it. I dunno....

  • I see what your saying, both miles and coltrane really explored music. But I think they're both totally unique, just cant bring myself to compare them. Guess the best way to put it is that they both played what they felt, regardless of what others said. Have a nice day man.

  • Can I agree with both of you?  I feel like Coltrane leads into Miles, yet at the same time they are undeniably different entities.

    In any case this is some dope music. Thanks for the upload!

  • Its really awesome because its a return to beautifully simple chord sequences that are made complex by their emotional, spiritual content.. which is something a lot of players forget about i feel

  • The magician

  • Miles had Class.!!!!!!

  • cool, brave motherfucker. wish i could've thanked him personally.

  • I like Miles because he says everything with reluctance, fury, control and pure emotion tempered like giant hammers of fire....

  • Miles is the baddest man to walk the planet. None gets badder.

  • I enjoyed this comment- and musically speaking I'd find it hard to disagree!

    I really like this period of Miles, and enjoy all the cuts of this tune...Gondwana?

  • my brother worked with Miles on the on the corner project. Do you have any footage or pics from that. Harold ivory Williams Jr

  • Your brother worked with Michael Urbaniak as well,didn't he?

  • Yes ad ,amy others...do you know him?

  • No,but he's quite popular here in Poland,his home country :)

  • Wow, He will love to hear that! I know Micheal and Urzala are from there. ut I didn.

    ,t know Harold was known there....Tell me more :-)

  • my drum teacher who played with wallace roney maried a polish girl i think lol.

  • Very nice to hear this ;)

  • i recommend the On the corner box set- get yourself a goodly amount of cheeba and lose yourself for a few days. highly advisable!

  • Concerts nowadays are places to be more seen than heard. It reflects the sad state of affairs today. The music business fault. The kids running the music biz today are really a sorry assed bunch of wankers who have not the least bit of sense of tradition. Their "innovative" and "edgy" stuff sucks also. Form your own record company like I did.

  • While I completely agree with you for them most part, there is still some underground stuff that is still amazing music and most of the bands thrive in the live setting. The jam scene, bands that took after the Dead and Phish. Some of the better ones know like Umphrey's McGee and moe. are unique and progressive bands and most all of them are self produced so they have not been tainted by the music business. And for more jazzy look up Medeski, Martin and Wood and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey.

  • One of the last real contributors to imaginative jazz. Somehow nowadays we have loads of musicians who duck low to avoid getting shot at. Loads of dudes helping put jazz in a grave where classical music already resides. Are you one of them as well? It's time to PUT POP IN PLACE! Get that Jazz going!

  • yeah, kanyewest sucks, puffdaddy sucks, bet=bs tv

    get real folks, if your music doesn't have soul, why bother, just cause clear channel or mtv stuffs it down your throat don't mean you have ta agree

    likeremember when tv hated britney, nowthey love that girl, wtf? artists with integrity, that is where its at

  • My sweet lord!

    Long live Miles..

  • pupete suspusu

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL MILES DAVIS SH**IT!!! Thank you, man, for posting it on YouTube!

    *****MILES LIVES!*****

  • Absolutely Miles!

  • Very sensational!

  • on ce laisse transporter par la musique c'est magique trop fort

  • Instrumentos se sopro, sobretudo trumpete, sax e mile davis, são a alma do jazz

  • I know it may be blasphemous to mention Led Zeppelin on a Miles Davis video, but parts of the first trumpet solo remind me of Jimmy Page's bow solos on "Dazed and Confused". Anybody agree?

  • well... dont tel anybody... but.......

    YEAH!!!

  • Jimi Hendix was going 2 b in this band but died.

    I think just months before this concert.

    bill from seattle

  • If by "months" you mean "three years."

  • excuse me hendrix died in 1970. Why do you post something inaccurate, as if you are telling us something we might want to know when you don't know.

  • ur an idiot

  • those are quite the spaceman glasses

  • miles was ahead in fashion, because everyone wants huge sunglasses. the fro sets them off!

  • word. You know you want to rock those glasses

  • Black guys with afros wearing huge sunglasses = awesome

    White girls with fake tans wearing huge sunglasses = failure

  • funny

  • Well said

  • @captainampersand u stupid nigger , go to the jungle

  • i want them

  • Do you know what i never realized before watching coltrane movies was that the soprano saxophone looks like a clarinet.

  • Man, you listen to this and wonder what happened to modern jazz? Thank Kenny G for perverting hard jazz and fusion into a homogenized pile called fusak/smooth jazz! At least I got Miles' "Star People" on CD to remind me of what music can be!

  • thats a great album!! "Speak" is my favorite track!

  • Yep, mine too...to hear Stern and Scofield straight tear it up with their over the top distorted bebop lines is friggin' awesome! That and I dig saxophonist Bill Evans. The energy and playing on the album is still fresh sounding! "Man With the Horn" is fantastic also!

  • you can't get better that that

    I am one honky son of a bitch who just can't live without Miles

  • you are listening to the greatest composer of the 20th century. if anyone out there needs some Miles Davis fusion era music ask me ive got almost all his albums from that point in his career.

  • I need some, I have a lot of his older stuff, but this seems more interesting.

  • Thank You Miles... for the greatest band ever. The funkiest, the hardest rocking, the most abstract -- jazz rock funk and art-music all rolled into one primordial joint...

  • you're right - i couldn't put it any better. I wish i could get my friends to hear it too. Every time i put it on i get shouted at to get it off. Why can't they hear that this is the funkiest, heaviest most mysterious music ever made?

  • Hes back at 3:54 and tell me Miles isnt like " hes back with that rattling shit again ! Fuck !.

  • 2:50 to 3:04 Miles looks and says "whatcha trippin on brother ?" and the guy's like "shit". It just looks like thats what happend ...funny.

  • Hello

    Im a trumpet player

    and I play my trumpet with effects sometimes

    I have always wondered what it the mic miles

    is using in this clip

    the model name of the mic ?

    why is it positioned by the mouthpiece?

    If anyone knows the answers

    please send me a note

    thanks for posting this

  • Its a wah pick-up in his mouthpiece. He has two pedals. he didnt play into a mic unless he was "off". There isnt a mic connected to his horn. He is amplified.

  • Flippin' n trippin'... great shit!

  • it's very cool and so genuis

  • This is the best band/music. Could listen to it FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey this IS performance art...sit back and let them take you for the trip. Dance....move....get some of those shades like Miles and look at your bright futures....I am going to check out Part 2 o join me!

  • Miles is the ultimate cool man.. I mean look at those shades man.. Where can i get me a pair.. ?

  • Its sad to see that Miles was ahead of his time in fashion too. Everyone wheres huge shades now.

  • This must've been somewhere near when he branched off mainstream jazz to his own unique style...and unique it was! Loved his stuff from this later period of his life.

  • the best jazz musician ever

  • There´s so much bone, brotha!

  • fantasticoooooooooooooo

  • This is so skanky and so fuckin' awesome.

  • Absolutely pure genius.

  • its like your in the fuckin Sahara!

    Dope!

  • hot shit man!"!

  • ot shit man!

  • thats the real shit!

  • Yo, this is sick! Trippy acid 70's shit. Eerie cool vibe.

  • A little too much spoon man at the beginning, but it picks up.

  • Tremendous talent. Miles ahead of his time. Wonderful rhythm section helped create the mood.

    ::

    Saw him live on the pier in NYC in the 80's.

  • Pimp Daddy-O Miles, circa 25 years ahead of his time...FUCK DA HATERS! Miles in the 70's ruled!

  • Prety much that is about it. It was really nasty for a while. Hindsight proves him the victor though.

  • This is wonderful stuff. I was there for that show and I must tell you the the audience was not at all appreciative. There were objects thrown at the stage. It was a Bitche's Brew that night.

  • I heard the story of this gig was that he played a first set then went offstage to much booing thrown objects so the promoters had to beg him to get him back onstage. He then launched into this (Ife) and the crowd was with him for the rest of the night. Is this true?

  • Almost. During "Tune in 5" Miles and Mtume were doing abstract shit on the organ and drum machine. Crowd got annoyed booed him, set ends, and the next set is this. All on the Montreux box set

  • Cool stuff mo fo!!! I'll be back to check mo' out! POPS

  • lett'in it brew

  • Trumpet Wah??? That is awesome!!!

  • Like that? Check out "On The Corner", especially the "On The Corner:Complete Sessions 6 CD Set" He invented acid jazz, and so many of the "alternative funk soul trip hop" genres that were to follow, with that album. Miles in the 7-'s, my favorite period...As a true genious, at leat 20-25 years ahead of his time!

  • Thanks I'll check it out!

  • it's "genius," genius.  not genious. it rhymes with your face

  • someday them brothas be praised like them wolfgangstars

  • this is smoking hot. smoking I tell ya.

  • I always find 'Electric Miles' to be the most fascinating, not to mention, most creative period in his life. This man is the reason I learned to play the trumpet!

  • same here actually, except im no good at it yet. "D

  • best dance music ever.
