@Mystery101terminated dude, relax. i understand what you mean. I appreciate all sorts of music and get annoyed when people get philosophical about music. But seriously man, if you don't like this version of the song, then don't listen to it. Stop your b!tching and do something about it instead of being a hypocrite and making more dumb comments about dumb comments. Kinda of oxymoronish... right???
Hey man, not to burst your bubble but this isn't a remake. It's their own song with the same title. Sorry man. Not a cover. I listen to the version you spoke of, it's okay . But there is a reason why nobody knows about this band and nobody knows about the band you desire.
I remember once I've visited this concert in 1993 at the Jazz Festival in Frankfurt (Hauptwache) I almost forgot to breathe - it was absolutely breathtaking in its literal sense!
Its amazing how much the power of Dennis Chambers playing the drums making this song what it needed to be. I have to say that this song is one of there best. The sad part is that the Brecker Bros. are no more, but just out past memories & one of the best! Michael is the best in ways people don't understand. This song gave the definition of what the song title is. The adventure in the song; The complexity & the sound; plus the feel was just amazing. All the solos made me smile. Picture Perfect !!
Is he a midget or is he just slouching awkwardly? It's hard to tell but his arms look incredibly disproportioned. Not knockin on him at all he was sick just wondering
@callumlicks I wondered the same the first time I was the video. But it was only a weird illusion caused by the camera angle and the way his elbow is positioned. He's totally normal person physically :)
But anyways, this is one of the best live performances ever, all the solos are just totally exhausting. I can't breathe at any point - just waiting for the next note!
Now my favorite Randy Brecker solo! Those block chords behind the last chorus of Michael's solo are totally inspired! And words can't even describe DC!
This is one of my favorite Brecker Brothers songs. It's just very nice to listen to, MIchael's solo is great, and Dennis Chamberst makes this version amazing!
Best drummer in the world? I don't know but what I do know is there's no drummer alive on this planet that could have played that tune with that much feel, dynamics, chops, and expression as Dennis Chambers. No drummer and I don't give a damn who.
@CHC4669 lets not get ahead of ourselves. Im pretty sure travis parker,carter beauford, tony royster, hell even brian blade can play with as much feeling. but youy are right , dennis does have some serious chops
@BassClarinetPEace Don't know quite how to take your comment "lets not get ahead of ourselves" so I'll leave it alone for now. I don't know who Travis Parker is but I'm sure if the Breaker Brothers had wanted him for this gig they would have called him. They didn't so nothing more has to be said. Beauford, Royster, & Blade are excellent drummers no doubt. But none of them could have played this tune with the feel and expression as Dennis no where near him when it comes to playing the music.
@mbos4115 No doubt he's one bad mug but Steve Smith's interpretation is a little bit more fuller and beefier than Dennis's on this tune. But Dennis is still probably one of the World's best players
This is absolutely the most perfect version of the tune ever. Chambers is insane, Whitty is insane, the whole group just plays together so goddamn well! Barcelona gig contained other otherwordly versions too, I love Stern's last solo on Song for Barry.
This is totally insane version of the tune. I wish I'd been there and experienced this live. I've always loved Chambers' style and he truly rocks the world here! And damn that sax solo, I don't know where to breathe :)
I miss the Chestnut Cabaret in Philly were these guys would frequently play in the early 90's. I've seen a lot of fusion groups there, some of the best musicians in the world. Cost- $18.00!!
This was a concert in Barcelona, Spain. The recording seems hard to find. I had the VHS. One of the most inspiring musical journeys you could ever, ever experience. FOR REAL!!!
These guys are awesome. I love both the Brecker brothers, and Mike Stern and Dennis Chambers are just amazing. I wish they'd let Mike Stern take a solo, he's a great guitar player.
I've been able to play with Randy Brecker on stage and it was a very thrilling experience. That was with my high school band three years ago, before Michael got sick, but it got me to practice more improv and inspired me more than anything else.
This is lightning in a bottle. And we can uncork & drink deeply anytime we like. Too much joy!
