Chick Corea - Spain (Live At Montreux 2004) - Part I

[getuliosilvapaiva]

The best of fusion.

[egyptianminor]

Great. Roger Federer/Spider on bass, Uncle Fester on guitar, Gary Shandling's Latino cousin on keys

[123must]

Patitucci is a monster !

A lot of thanks

[cherryorchards]

deniro on bass and mel on sax

[egyptianminor]

@cherryorchards LOL, Eric Marienthal is Jewish, if I'm not mistaken, so calling him Mel, is, well...

[bassistdc]

John's a great bass player. However I'd like to hear him play a solo entirely below the 7th fret.

[PHOENIXLUKE]

Dave Weckl !!!

[Hamporkcheese]

thought that was a guitar in the beginning... no... its was the good ol six string....

[AbbathGS]

Nice lineup, but not a huge fan of the saxophone player. Very Kenny G.

[fernandeltoto]

Viva o samba!

[drumforlife720]

YEAH DAVE!!!

[andrezecheverry]

Eric Marienthal plays the best solo... Heart and soul



[Keys1500]

yasssssss lol allll day

[Benedetti1607]

This gig is awesome

[junka22]

I listened to this song once yesterday and my mind was still improvising lines on it 3 hours later

[EmanuelAsurza]

patitucci mis respetos !! un gran musico

[themusicbirdie]

Who is the sax player? What's up with all that scooping?

[MrTheDudest]

I love what Chick Corea starts doing at 7:47

[luibra1]

4 pessoas nunca estudaram musica e não sabem o que estão questionando.

[dlguitarmaster7]

chick corea's face in the back @ 3:26 LOL

[Hackfrostcs]

muy bonitoooooooo! todo!

[mauriciorangel100]

Hear my vesa .... I created a medley of SPAIN + THE CHICKEN. Hope you enjoy! go there!!!

[juanpablobarbosa]

there are 4 deaf people haha

[malesmandi]

everytime i see gambale taking a solo, i want to be a guitarist. and everytime i see patitucci taking a solo, i want to be a bassit. but everytime i see them playing together, its like fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[fperoni63]

I hate stupid cameras. Why doesn't he/she shows the fingers of the saxophonist? Marvellous music though!

[silkymop]

Why are the views so low on this video. This music on this video is a gift from god. John Patitucci you bastard! I hate you for being so good. Also, Chick Corea should be prayed to before each jazz performance.

[Ramudes36]

@silkymop I love your idea of Chick being prayed to before every jazz performance! He's jazz's Zeus!

[erperejildo]

joder, pedazo bajo con 6 cuerdas

[DefiableRiffs]

Why did the video stop!? WHY!!!!!!

[TheEnormousPianist]

Chick Corea is actually playing this on the Fender Rhodes - one with the deluxe stereo ping pong reverb feature :)

[SuperDrummerJoe]

love the way everyone in the audience can sing :3

[mykkrae]

I sometimes wonder if Patitucci is so awkward just because he knows he's good enough that it doesn't matter.

[baixista60]

4 SUCKENS NO LIKE THIS PERFECT SONG

[cr1msonking93]

Concierto De Aranjuez at the beginning...feels good man

[MrDikkie01]

Eric a pornstar, hahahaha

[SupahflyJazzguy]

6:19

[pescato68]

I saw CCEB in Rome, perhaps in 1986 or '87 (Eye of the Beholder's world tour), at TENDASTRISCE ... it was an incredible concert ... what great musicians ! Except for Gambale ... I don't like his style ... think of this formation with Mike Stern or Greg Howe ...

[maccallumtom93]

Eric Marienthal = A pretty cool dude............(this may be an understatement)

[ModernSaxDotCom]

nice



[riosmusic18]

lolwut WECKL Y U SO GOOD?

[MrSmoothsongwriter]

Damn the richness of that Sax is so gorgeous, oh man!!!!

[ModernSaxDotCom]

@MrSmoothsongwriter Eric can play anything!

[petervanblanken]

Frank Gambala is more then a guitarist. He's a mastermusician.

[NousMind7]

I think the most impressive there is the drum solo... I am a guitar player and didn't like the guitar solo at all.... the other solos were great.

[alobolaharres]

Dave Weckl plays a Yamaha Bearch Absolute Drum Set.

John Patitucci plays a Yamaha John Patitucci Signature Bass

[alobolaharres]

Dave Weckl plays a Yamaha Bearch Absolute Drum Set.

John Patitucci plays a Yamaha John Patitucci Signature Bass

[rokedetbamidbar]

I like that drum solo.

[ReneAristyo]

@zerekx hahaha. I guess no one can stop the fun and clapper :p

[zerekx]

someone turn the clapper off please

[MrKeyzguy]

Chic Corea ladies and gentlemen!

[Jbatera10]

Patitucci.......the bestttttt

[Royzilber]

Eric looks like a porn star

[sax0tenor]

@Royzilber ha ha ha,you're right man .

[FreakyBoy667]

@Royzilber i thought he is mel gibbson:D

[rohanpogi]

@Royzilber he looks like dirk diggler

[KyleBananas]

@Royzilber in a good way

[mastersgta1]

5:50

Eric: "WTF? that is MY LICK!"

Gambale's cool little marienthal impression... Maybe it's an inside joke?

[hazymat]

Re the heckler at the beginning. Why do jazz hecklers always sound like they are on day release? The guy sounds nuts!

[hazymat]

Does anyone know if Chick / Dave / John ever played just as a trio?

[Ramudes36]

@hazymat : Yeah they formed the Akoustic Band in 1989. Check it out.

[KlassyKamikaze]

@Shamanhearts91 And even if you go to Ericmarienthaldotcom, Eric, himself, says he plays a Mark VI alto

[KlassyKamikaze]

@Shamanhearts91 Anyone with eyes can see that it's a Mark 6! Do you see a high f# in the vid? NOPE! Only special ordered Mark VIs had high f# keys.

[KlassyKamikaze]

@Shamanhearts91 You're stupid! Eric Plays a Mark VI! He's played the same one since he was 13. I've studied with him and you've obviously haven't. His Mark VI doesn't have a high F#, Mark VIIs were all made with high f# keys. So explain that!

[Kekspere]

else its good but i dislike the sound of that guitarist... im just saying.

[K3KCT]

You know, when a comment has received too many neg votes the video uploader should just remove it. Simple as that.

[9600Nvidia]

Shit, this is just sick!!!!

[basketballstars415]

The saxophone player is god. Just saying :)

[15Charel]

It amazes me how calm Chick Corea is when he plays. Its like second nature to him. And Dave Weckl...no words.

The whole band in fact...

[15Charel]

Legends...great legends

[operatenor67]

piano rhodes mark II its fantastic sound!!!

[ifng74]

Exelentes los solos de Patittuchi, ningun bajista en el mundo domina la improvisacion como el.

[Mayhem2414]

Did somebody notice the playing of Frank?!, nobody mention him!! he's also a great great player!!!.

[pabloself]

OH MAN, MEL GIBSON IS GOOOOOOOOOOOD

[stef555stef]

Incredible drumming from Dave Weckl, sheer genius.

[fedalxis]

it's Rhodes! not Yamaha KX-5 ;)

[Superphilipp]

@ReneAristyo I doubt the Selmer has much to do with it.

[Vitruvian42]

Two people can't find the off-beat.

[EggTheBox]

Don't forget John Patitucci.. Sant John, the protector of bass players..

[ukiemexican]

is chick play a Wurlitzer?

[Superphilipp]

@ukiemexican No, it's a Rhodes. It says so in big letters on the instrument.

[fedalxis]

@ukiemexican Sometimes) But now it's Rhodes electric piano as far as I hear.

[DrummerRF]

What kind of drum beat is that in spain? the base pattern is: x--xx---

[Superphilipp]

@DrummerRF It's a samba pattern.

[tozzila]

Totally agree. Sean Penn on bass and Mel Gibson on sax :-).

[TroyCorn]

this is simply the best recording that I have found of this song.

[PreToSpain]

Si el maestro Rodrigo levantara la cabeza ....

[Darkfatez117]

I like how the 2nd part of this video the piano player teaches the audience the song in bits of pieces and um yeah i agree with joker22556.

[yogsothoth2099]

patitucci looks like sean penn lol

[ReverendNegar]

4:40 look at Patitucci

"And I jizz...in...my pants."

[aintnaive]

CHECk THIS  youtube.com/watch?v=DEpp5xOrnJ­0

[DRATER469]

Mel gibsons mad at Sax

[quackiebuackie]

Omg..The sax player is wonderful.

[rilasciando1]

Patitucci... woah... so solid

[OronzoPanzi]

3:26, look at Chick's face!

"Fuck yeah, this is fusion!", he's saying.

[guillermo140]

the sax wins!

[pepachet]

Phenomenal talent on stage there!

[larszepp]

These guys really have CHEMISTRY goin on!!!

[TheGUIDOBASS777]

son mis idolos buena musica por siempre!!!!!!!!!!

[ProjektBlaze13]

That was possibly the most badass solo ever Eric Marienthal and Bob Berg are two of my hugest idols

We're playing Spain for our marching show this year it's awesome but this is on another level

[ferrysax]

a master formation. awesome to see,& hear

[lucasmacmillan]

eric marienthal is a god

[asahi501]

great song best team ......

[MetalJSolid]

Awesome.... @-)

[TheVilliersBand]

Not only does eric have an amazing jazz sound, he's enjoying playing it.

he's incredible

[harveythelobsterzbak]

i think if you can comp a good solo to this song, you have reached a certain benchmark in musicianship. the chords give you so much freedom.

[leadlefthand]

was that John Patitucci on bass?

[Rumpelstilsky]

@leadlefthand yep

[maidoodesu]

nice !...

[AndersFraWow]

SPAM and now im setting up a bot to compete :) again aint stupid lol

PUT ALL TROOLS SPAMMERS IN jail!!! :)

dont say anything unless its clewer.

[xXcRENzXx]

@ReneAristyo selmer's are garbage

[KlassyKamikaze]

@xXcRENzXx Selmers are now garbage. With Selmers, it's Mark VI or crap.

[futureNFL2]

@ReneAristyo it's not the saxophone, it's the player!

[SelmerMarkVI66]

why does everyone compare musicians and even bands with each other? there is no best, there is only the musician or group you like the most. For me, I place Mr. Marienthal in the list of names as Michael Brecker, Garret, Redman ,.. for some might be a good solo one with 2000 notes and 20 different scales, for me this is a Kick ass solo!

[zararochy]

dave the best

[fenix1597]

4:15 chek the john´s wrong

even they make mistake

wow

[fenix1597]

the part where everyone applaud sounds really good we might call "the chorus"

are you understand me?

[quinsanity]

Eric is good, but not the most ridiculous sax player of this generation. Ever hey of Kenny Garrett, Michael brecker, joshua redman, james carter,???

[gimmeyourglasses]

The Akoustic Band is way better.

[perovaas]

I guess that Eric Marienthal is in the B team.

[Shamanhearts91]

Eric is beast, nuff said, penatonic usage or not he is a genius and forever my greatest influence

[DaMastaMynd]

... I like pentatonic scales XD

[joker22556]

everyone shut up and listen to the music!!!!!!!!

[jazzpianosolo]

jazz



[amigosud]

@joker22556 daaa!!! EXACLY!!!

[schwoazi]

haha I think that's the A Team, there is no better and more authentical version of spain than this one, even if Gambale did a solo where he shouldn't...

[sweetchildonline]

@schwoazi chick made the mistake

[StickManChannelTv]

la raja wn tremendos musicos me ponen los pelos de punta... la cagan estos locos ojala se den una vuelta por chile algun dia.

[TRICKY315]

Chick doesn't look thrilled to be playing with the B team..........This is still a great song.

[dys4ikH2]

@TRICKY315 the B team?

[zenodotus]

@dys4ikH2 I think he's refering to Return To Foreveer as the 'A' team. It's just a matter of opinion.

[ReneAristyo]

B team = Chick Corea Elektric Band?

Then what is the "A" team? Is it RTF of Chick Corea Akoustic Band?

[TRICKY315]

Yes RTF was the A team, but I wasn't referring to them specifically. A great musician, like Chick, needs at least one other great musician playing with him. There isn't much of a challenge playing with these guys because they're solid professional side men who aren't likely to surprise him. Pull up some of Chicks videos when he's playing with another great. You'll see that he's much more engaged than here.

[Avedisdrummer09]

@TRICKY315 Dave Weckle not a great?

[ianidinuse]

@TRICKY315 Non of them are greats? You definitely need to do some research on your part. All of them are greats in their own right. Not just 'side-men'.

[AliothSenator]

@TRICKY315

STFU

[jazzonthetube]

@ReneAristyo RTF IMHO

[DeathbySunburn]

Return to Forever

[DrummerRF]

@ReneAristyo Everybody knows The A-Team. With hannibal, BA and Mordock etc.

[ahpeckus]

Yea cuz Dave Weckl is deffinately the "B" team.

[Muso6291]

I'd say there's no reason to think Dave Weckl is a great drummer except for what he's done for technique and the state of drumming today - what I mean by that is everyone's obsession with chops and playing fast impressive licks without being musical at all. Have you heard a Dave Weckl groove that actually made you want to dance? Compare him to Tony Williams on Four & More, which one makes the music flow better and feel more enjoyable?

[quathar]

@Muso6291 You truly are an earless fool if you do not hear musicality seeping through every note that Weckl plays. If anything, he is the quintessential musical drummer. He's also played LOTS of simpler grooves with more mainstream artists. And musicality is when you wanna dance to it. Go listen to Lady Gaga, and leave the real music to people with ears.

[quathar]

@Muso6291 There was supposed to be a question mark in my sentance before last.

[mileswarm]

You´re B team ....

[jazzpianosolo]

jazz



[jthekk2]

@TRICKY315 B team? dave weckl on drums? john patitucci on bass? eric marienthal on sax? frank gambale on guitar? that's no b team.

[jamieblond1]

@TRICKY315 - "Chick doesn't look thrilled to be playing with the B team?"

I'm not sure what that means, considering that he's playing with Marienthal, Patitucci, Gambale and Weckl.

Maybe he looks like that because he's a little weird.....did you know that he's a $cientologist?

[cochabamba1614]

DAVE!!!!!! MAESTRO DEL GROOVE

[ReneAristyo]

Yeah. Dave Weckl is good.

[MeenBack]

@cochabamba1614 Dammi il tuo numero di telefono che ti voglio sposare!!

[HEYMYNAMEISCARL]

also, chick looks like a toad. no disrespect or anything.

[SAXTail2]

THE INTRO WAS HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frafunk]

eric marienthal has a sound that is too much sweetish

[HEYMYNAMEISCARL]

yeah, true that. he can't get the smooth jazz out of his sound; he's a great player, but he's just got that adult contemporary sound :P

[leetheviolet]

marienthal's sax solo RULZ

[Hightower1983]

well since im not familiar with Miles davis, i just recognised the tune from a buckethead song. whos is the prick some one how hasn't listened to a piece of music or someone who gloats over knowing a composer of a certain song. you are a mindless prick and your fucking wrong as sddogg has pointed out the miles davis version was infact a cover.

[Hightower1983]

this sounds like a song buckethead does called sketches of spain , i think it is based on another song though brilliant stuff

[sddogg]

It is based off of Concierto de Aranjuez by Joanquin Rodrigo, second movement. It was written in 1939, and then covered by Miles Davis under the name Sketches of Spain in the 70s as well as by Chick Corea as the intro to Spain. Then Buckethead covered Miles Davis' version.

[ReneAristyo]

Wow!! That's a new info for me, too. Thanks!!!

[ReneAristyo]

Thanks!! That's a new information for me!!

[saxking620]

anybody ever notice how much eric marienthal looks like mel gibson and the guy from gradmas boy? lol

[ReneAristyo]

Lol. Hahahahaha.

[r3ck0rd]

I thought Corea was playing Fender Rhodes?

[minicannonball13]

eric marienthal is the most ridiculous sax player of this generation. everything about his playing just blows my mind

[miniredsubmarine]

@minicannonball13 He looks a tiny bit like Mel Gibson?!

[Arkerovich]

@minicannonball13

He owes you money or what ??

[SupahflyJazzguy]

@minicannonball13

I wouldn't call him the best of his generation because you have to take in to account Joshua Redman, James Carter, Chris Potter, Branford Marsalis etc etc etc.

I mean, his tone is definitely one of the best I've heard, but as far as technique goes, it hurts me to say he's kind of a one trick pony.

[peganabenga1000]

sax solo is just amazing

[spirit7492]

6:19 That's the way to start a solo!

[lizard218]

It's cool how when Eric starts playing, Chick's head pops up then he looks at the camera as if he's looking right at you.

[lizard218]

Badass intro. The dim, mysterious lighting goes really well with it. Chick is amazing.

[Loveyeahyeahyeah]

2bad the saxplayer didnt play the 3.09 part

[conandrade]

quite sick... these guys are amazing...

the drummer´s solo is outstanding... and how they manage to keep the rythm is really absurd!! nice video

[dachamp999]

great sax and bass solo
