  • Great music. Really mind-blowing stuff. What the hell has Jack White got to do with any of this? Or jazz in general?

  • Who needs drugs when you have this mind-opening, mind-bending, music like this. Miles is always teaching me new things.

  • Miles, McLaughlin and Jack White are all fucking awesome. I like jazz a lot, but man do I hate the snobbery of the fans.

  • An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).

    I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.

    My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!

  • This is a "busy" song that sounds great through headphones. This is one of my most favorite songs. The instruments come in and out, from one side to the other side, front to back, swirling round and round.

  • Jack White name being discussed in a Davis video? C'mon people!. Show some respect for the deceased...!

    And only a corporate magazine like Rolling Stone could put J. W. on a list where McLaughlin is. Totally different leagues.

    BTW Miles is a genius.

  • except for some of his own later work this has got to the single greatest album of ALL-TIME

  • i get it to the fullest. album fuckin rocks.

  • The true test of Miles' musical genius is that even though I've been a fan for almost 20 years now, I'm still discovering new things about his music. Why has it taken me so long to discover On the Corner!

  • If aliens landed...and we played them this....maybe they would save us.

  • 京都での学生期、ほぼ1ヶ月間程は、LIVE・EVILと、この­"ON・THE・CORNER"しか聴かない時期が!~押し寄せ­る音群! #jazzm

  • hey this is a Miles Davis post, Mahavishnu, Mc Laughling & Cobahm Sly and Jimi are all supreme but lets listen to this incredible recording!

  • miles grooves the hardest

  • @passjay

    i can see why.

  • shit, this is funky

  • John McLaughlin's hard to beat. I read a list of the greatest rock guitarists in Rolling Stone, and in my opinion, they had him ranked way too low.

  • @TheDavemccollom1 I remember that list. Too lazy to google it right now but if I recall he was around the 50s. Jack White was in the top 20....I was done with it after that......

  • @PerryCoxPF93 Yeah. Little bit upsetting. Everyone's got their opinion, though. But I agree with you on that one. Personally, I like him better than Jimi Hendrix. Some of the stuff I heard him play with Mahavishnu Orchestra...intricate, intricate musicianship. Tight band.

  • @PerryCoxPF93 Another thing; I love pulling out stuff like Mahavishnu for my friends who haven't heard it. Their music moves me, and I get a thrill out of seeing someone else feel it for the first time. Partly because I'm a nerd, and M.O. isn't that well-known among my friends lol.

  • @PerryCoxPF93 how did someone like jack white even make it on a list like that? he's horrible

  • @luridoptics Obviously you don't have a clue about Jack White and his work.

  • @abelbokor hey man, i don't condemn things I know nothing about, jack white is a talented musician but his music is pretty much just indie pop with a slight touch of classic rock wanna be... his stuff is too poppy to be any good, no texture to his music

  • @luridoptics why don't you go watch the It might get loud documentary. I love Miles Davis and his work, but I dislike people throwing empty words at something that they don't have a clue about.

  • @luridoptics Hey now, jack white cheated to get famous... started a horribly poppy band (The white stripes) and used that to get famous before coming out with his real stuff... now almost anyone can do that...so to me he is nothing but a sell out

  • @luridoptics just because music is poppy (and I don't hear any poppy-ness in most of the White Stripes catalog) doesn't mean you should put it in a box and refuse to appreciate it. Jack White is a great guitarist, and does things other people haven't done. In the discussion of greatest guitarists ever, he's definitely far down the list.

  • @PerryCoxPF93 certainly John McLaughlin deserves a better ranking, but you are retarded if you dislike Jack White and his work. Don't get me wrong, I believe McLaughlin is better than he is, but White is talented and he makes better music than most nowadays.

  • @PerryCoxPF93

    McLaughlin has opened my mind to improvise like no one before, hes one of the greatest ever, for sure. I believe he is as good as Jimi. I have a few friends that play better than Jack White (not just in the limited techinical meaning of it), we just cant take industrial magazines (or musicians) seriously.

  • @TheDavemccollom1

    yeah . my favorite Mclaughlin is when he's with Miles . Awesome .

  • There is so much going on here that it's overwhelming . . . rhythms inside of rhythms on top of and behind and around other rhythms . . . absolutely brilliant.

    40 years on and nothing I hear now even approaches the level of innovation Miles an his best collaborators created.

  • one of the greatest artefacts EVER produced by any human mind throughout our entire existence

  • First album I ever bought at the age of 10...It was a shocking trip then which has since turned into an amazing journey.

  • fuori di testa! :)

  • My Boy from back in the day (high school the 70s) emailed me and asked if I could send him some music for a trip he's arranging from Alabama to Washington, DC. He requested some hard funky jazz and mention Miles "On the Corner". I sat there thinking,,,what is this dude talking about? Well,after hearing this, I got it. Damn this stuff is hard, funking, electrifying, earth shaking and straight-up radical......My boy is gonna be listening to this with his family on the way to the White House ;-)

  • i d like a hug, a cup cake, and a glass half full with state of mind please Paula!

  • "It [On The Corner] is the music of the streets...and as such it has the throb of the street as well as the beauty of a rose in Spanish Harlem. It is music which celebrates street life as well as the beauty of life itself and it brings together (and celebrates the individual beauty of the rhythms of) many different cultures...this music is more about feelings than notes as Donald Ayler once remarked."--Ralph J. Gleason, Rolling Stone, 1972.

  • free me

  • im so fucking high

  • one of the best albums ever

  • no Dave Creamer?.I know he's there somewhere in all this muck? Miles was always a pissed guy

  • I saw Miles for the first time right after this LP was released. The band was much the same personnel. Cosey and Lucas on guitar, Henderson on bass, Al Foster drums. Probably Maupin and Goodman on reeds. Badal Roy on perc. I was sitting less than 8 feet from Davis through both sets. Venue was the old Jazz Workshop, Kenmore Square, Boston. I met Davis that night. A life changing experience, at least. Of course, this track has Johnny Mac on guitar. During his rubber string phase, as I call it.

  • Dang. What a groove. Cooks like a mofo.

    Dave Liebman at his best.

    John McLaughlin sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown. In a good way. One my favorite guitar solos.

  •  "On the Corner"を聴くと「お前を思い出す」と友人に言われたこと­があります。まぁ自慢ですけど…。

  • YouTubeできくと

    ええかんじにエコーがかかってて気持ちいいね

    やはり素晴らしい

  • I listen to Miles' more progressive stuff like this and bitches brew in kickboxing class, and his older cool jazz stuff on my walk :)

  • what is miles playing into to make his sound like that. It's like autotune or something, damn he was before his time haha

  • @Yuengring Its a Wah-Wah pedal, just like a guitar. The electric pick-up was on his mouthpiece. Check out the live 70s vids to see him in action with the device

  • @cali22boi any specific vids i should look up, I'd def like to see this in action

  • why would anybody say theeres no melody to this?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

  • Right on the money !

  • Real smooth !

  • When this came out I really enjoyed it..still do. A lot of people don't realize this is Mr. Davis interpreting the sounds on the streets in NY, 1972. Fantastic!

  • Totally "Out of this World"!

  • 50 years ahead.

  • This is not absolutely terrible. This shit blew so much wide open. This album trumps Bitches Brew in some respects, if only for the fact of how utterly radical it was when it came out. It's still on the forefront. All you naysaying motherfuckers need to pull the blinders off and gain some appreciation. In the meantime, can y'all shut the fuck up and go like what you like. Hating on something is such a waste.

  • great

  • nice !...

  • Sorry 'critics', but listening to this track on youtube does NOT do justice to the actual rich, complex, multi-layered textural subtleties of this track - you CAN'T hear the full stereo image here Ex: the organ solo starting on 4:50 is barely audible here, and then some, so detractors, get of your lazy asses and get the CD-but even then you might not 'get it' so I feel bad for you.

  • @egyptianminor Cut the shit, what kind of fidelity can anyone expect from You Tube. On the Corner is Miles darkest masterpiece, pissed on at the time it was released but ultimately miles ahead.

  • @molloyxx1No,no BS ,music with simpler instrumentation/arrangement/le­ss tracks reproduces quit well one you tube, you can't compare any generic 5 piece band w/ this multi track work: guitar,bass, trumpet, sp. sax, 3 keyboards, 2 drummers, 2 or 3 perc.tracks, tabla and sitar- on 16 track analog machine, no automation,etc..., so yeah, you tube don't do justice to this track in particular.

  • YEAH !!!!!

  • omg this is absolutely terrible....lol

  • this music is so animated and alive and not to mention FUNKY!

  • scares the funk outta me

  • this isnt jazz just fucking incredible. the horns, the percussion, the guitar EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

  • Mclaughlin

  • le morceau le plus fou!!!!!!!!!!

  • Open up the door it's to funky in here !!!! Thanks for the post.

  • I don`t know what they where smoking at that time, but it must have been good!

  • Fuck Yeah !

  • thanks for the uploads!

  • カッコイイ!!

  • @tokyojoe2009 You got that right!

  • Miles at his funkiest!!!!!

  • This one's baking me....

  • @FunkySkunk90 ripped

  • this is just so wrong.....but so right at the same time......

  • great listening to this on dope

    got it from my dad

  • Super phat McLaughlin solo!

  • Comment removed

  • An electrified and multidimensional burst of ass-shaking funk straight from the master himself. If Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix took a space ship to India together, they very well might have come up with something approximating On The Corner.

    (written on piratebay)

  • @buddycathedral what are you hearing? this is absolutely terrible, lol.

  • @buddycathedral jimi already did aka band of gypsies

  • AMAZING MUSIC!!!

  • right- i NEED this CD :) more Christmas shopping for myself

  • Ridiculous (in the best sense).

  • So alive, so unique and versatile that words are redundant! Now if only modern hip hop was like this; pure skill AND emotion!

  • @paraxicosis I really love this, thanks a lot!!!!!!

  • drum n' bass, hip-hop, techno, post-punk, rock, i hear it all in this music!!!

  • me too =D

  • Paraxicosis, you was right!!! This is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!! I never heard about him!!! Thanks a lot for this info!

  • @rvxs09

    I'd say: it is just about time, brother!

    you're the man now:)

  • awesome album

    awesome track

    awesome miles

  • I believe John McLaughlin played guitar on some of these tracks

  • starts solo just after 300

  • I need to get the Complete on the Corner Sessions. This is phenomenal.

  • 500 years from now, if we survive, this album will be recalled as one of the best of the 20th century

  • YESSSS!!!!

  • whos on guitar?

  • john mclaughlin

    this is the only song he plays on the album

  • Apparently Miles was pissed with his record company who he felt didn't push the album to the target audience, namely a young black one, instead album was pushed as a jazz piece, regular Miles Davies fans didn't like the new departure, hence record never did that well but was later picked up after Herbie Hancocks 'Headhunters' album exploded on the scene, similiar groove I feel happening in both records!

  • Never heard nothin' like it before and will never hear nothin' like it again. If you really want to get deeper into it, get On the Corner (The Complete Sessions) Its a bit pricey but definitely worth it. Also check out the album Big Fun!

  • this is a great album, its so crazy and the beats and bass are so fresh it reminds me allmost of King Crimsons perfect album Larks' Tongues in Aspic.

  • was EVERYBODY stoned in '72?

  • Jazz or not, this is freaking me out. Thats so funky i could lose my mind. I really like that beat even if it is the same for more than 20 minutes, its so the basis of one of the best progression from miles... This album is a most.

  • thanks for posting this, because i have been considering buying a copy.  but, i wanted to hear more of it first.

  • it's some of the finest jazz

  • thanks for putting this up. this is DOPE. right on.
