[prettynoose8497]

Billy plays the drums so fast and dangerous; that he needed to wear those safety glasses

[puntostilocoupe]

BEST...

[chuckyspell]

[Jellybeantiger]

[MustardSoda]

Scofield is smokin' with hair .....

Wait .... I meant flair .. Smokin' wih flair.

[kevinyomofo]

It does not get any funkier than this

[rushangus]

[baseline999]

Does anyone else think the guitar player looks like a young John Cleese?

Love this track.

[NanADSutton]

ill never understand why they move from this to that new age crap!

[rcatbgv]

Wow! Glad that Scofield finished his solo before his cigarette. Great players and the vibe is free and wonderful. Listen to Billy laugh!

[Abracadabra418]

Billy Cobham and george duke. AMAZING



[Captain2Pig]

[iade38]

[iade38]

music seems so easy with genious

[vistvan62]

-apocaliptic sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDemetriusblack]

is there just one guy with a personal vendetta against george duke? only one guy ever dislikes anything,

either that, or he was searching for something sexy and fresh, but not in the same way as this

[ddrums001]

Are those yellow toms on Billy's kit North Drums?! WOW! I haven't seen those great sounding drums for a long time! What an all-star line up! Alphonso, Sco, George & of course Billy, Fusion Monsters!!

[egyptianminor]

Sco looks like a cross between John Cleese and James Taylor, but him grinning is pure Robert Duvall

[zebonaut]

SCOFIELD WITH THE SMOKE LOOKS LIKE JOHN CLEESE PLAYING SCOFIELD :)

[thinkdreamweaver]

MIKE STERN is the true and only LIVING master Gutar GOD - period end of story

[MEGAMIGA]

@thinkdreamweaver

This is a bit extreme.

[psychupmelodies]

This is a fantastic footage!! Thanks a million for sharing!

[paisteguy799]

lovin this, the audio is ridiculously good, jazz is on another level compared with any genre

[Thib315]

i wish cameramen like this could stop with the face closeups and show us what they're dooooooing,

[MrClasir]

@Thib315 I agree man, but Duke's face at 2:15 is umpayable! Great track though

[darkoanton5]

Amazing track.

[MemphisGrooves]

Many Thanks For The Post ♥♥♫♫♪ !!..

[metalfanzin]

damnn it so tight! after 02:00 George Duke's fingers are on fire...

[pschn145]

Look how Kool John Scofield is. See what I did there?

[asolognier]

@pschn145 I thought it was a menthol too! 

[SHOJMPR42]

George Duke is a genius.

[cubekatten2]

Skills.

[tresorrichbass]

mir bleibt grad voll die Spucke weg..... Ober-Hammer-Fett!!!!!!!!!

[JimmyPageisGOD]

I wish bands like phish could play this smooooooth.

[asimsidd]

@JimmyPageisGOD : I realized the same 2 years ago..I's, too, following the fake gods.. :)

[unclejunglebass]

@asimsidd haha yeah phish is the reason i got into jazz/improvised music in general. they are a gateway drug i guess you could say. still love em to death.

[goldenchopsticks]

@JimmyPageisGOD Thats true, but remember that this band mostly sticks to funk fusion while Phish tends to genre hop or even explore the unknown musical abyss more. Both among the best at what they do.

[GregRX7]

@goldenchopsticks

Phish?

You have some catch-up to do...

[goldenchopsticks]

@GregRX7 Because I appreciate Phish? Sure pal. You may not like them but they have definitely carried the torch for jam bands and exposed them further, as well as each member being a solid rock at their instruments.

[Joeskateapool]

@JimmyPageisGOD but they won't. that's why you listen to these guys because they slay those shit jam bands all day long.

[markusmala]

These were nice times, some of us missed! Nice minimoog behind billy, give it to George he would have played on both...anyway they all masters, you can see at their faces how much they are in!

[JimmyPageisGOD]

that laugh at 1:08 is great!!!

[JonP1961]

@JimmyPageisGOD

And check Duke with that look at around 2:44 during the middle of an awesome improvisation !

[CopingMethod]

@JimmyPageisGOD Haha, it really is!

[motobecane73]

I'm going with Sonor on the snare drum

[motobecane73]

Excellent snare drum tone

[GregRX7]

@motobecane73

Billy plays the Hinger Touch-Tone Snare exclusively...

[TheToastersOfficial]

stick drop at 1:02

nice recovery

[dansaghin1]

check Scofield and his smoke ... it`s so not him... :)

thanks asimsidd for posting this... still looking for videos with Alphonso and Scofield

[asimsidd]

@dansaghin1 my pleasure!

[clark90able]

could you upload the entire concert? if you have it..

[asimsidd]

@clark90able : I have it.. will try posting all the songs.. though it can take a lot of time, since my net doesn't go above 20kbps (uploading rate)..that too if m lucky!

[unknownkingdom]

Bass too low in the mix.

[SpiffaJ]

Lmao! Lovin the facial expressions in this vid haha! And LOVE the bit where Cobham breaks a stick, throws it away, and almost hits Alphonso then laughs at his reaction lol. Classic stuff right there. Amazing energy!

[arontung]
