0:51 

[Neidhardt84]

The official DVD release should be named "John Patitucci - Live at the Intensive-care".

[musicisthebestF]

This is is the funky est song performed by white people that i ever heard

I dont want to go racist here i am just sayin

God Patitucci and Gambale are genius on their instruments

[TROMBOTRAK]

@AlisonChaynes

SORRY!! I'm just kidding.....he is just a genius but Corea sometimes bores me though !

[TROMBOTRAK]

so gay

[hoffus]

Peja Stojakovic - not just a baller!

[raguer10]

[SuperDrumba]

Flippin love this song

[MrRedrocket42]

This is a wake up call, man these guys are better than fantastic! Thanks for posting this vid, I just love it. Patitucci is flawless.

[ldrumma2002]

2:15-2:30...omg...

[vithaj92]

@ldrumma2002 I know, it's so freaking sexy!! :D

[maciekfingerstyle]

this piece is absolutely GREAT!!! it has this old japanese video game kinda vibe to it which I absolutely love, brings back childhood memories... everything here is top notch and heart squeezing - melody, incredible harmony, bass riffs, sax, funky fusion guitar playing, Dave's drums and of course Chick's synth improvisations - gotta love this song

[DeBretancourt]

Musical Genius beyond anything you and I can come up with in 10 lifetimes.

[deathviktor]

3 people try to play this song hahaha

[fnord23]

@deathviktor hahahah 4 peepl now, tried to play this song hahahahaha ; )

[RNoldFCK]

Emme tee musiikissa lainkaan virheitä.

[McYaballow]

@RNoldFCK emme myöskään elämässä.

[Colshow]

I think they should do a movie about this band. It would star...

Rick Moranis as Chick Corea

Mel Gibson as Dave Weckle

Joe Pesci as John Patitucci

John C. Reilly as Frank Gambale

Will Arnett as Eric Marienthal

The Movie would be called "Honey i Jazzed the Kids" ha ha ha ha

[bshuker]

@Colshow brilliant casting 

[93effie]

it is wonderfull

[93effie]

it is wonderfull

[southflvitilla]

good god and this is live...it sounds like a cd. it's amazing, unbelievable. i love every single one of these guys. gambale you're a monster, patitucci a beast of a bass player. all of them!

[TENTATIONX]

QUE DELICIA !!!!

[drummingforever]

No one grooves harder than Patitucci and Weckl. 'nough said

[Rumpelstilsky]

@drummingforever HELL YEAH BABY !!!

[drummingforever]

No one grooves harder than Patitucci and Weckl. 'nough said

[gerPzoidberg]

i love Patitucci

[drewper73]

@MonsterJazzLicks...the chords in the intro were played by frank gambale on his guitar using some sort of effects. watch it again and you can see him doing it.

[kayary]

YAMAHA LE CAMBIÓ EL SY-99 POR ESTA ROLA

[dvamateur]

I love how these guys are supporting each other. Nobody gets in nobody's way. Well, espeically nobody gets in Chick's way. And I love the way Gemballe does some simple guitar comping, I mean, he is such a great guitar player and yet he doesn't mind to do simple Strat-like twacks. Fantastic team!

[larkydozer]

Give me "Light as a Feather" over this.

This sounds like the theme to some PBS kids science program.

[vithaj92]

@larkydozer Not really.....

[larkydozer]

@vithaj92

Yes really.

[vithaj92]

@larkydozer You need to tell me one of those shows then!

[gallicharm]

Yes please die

[fletchtamos]

I saw these guys at Memphis State Univ in 1991...I ranged from standing in my chair yelling to sitting there dumbfounded but these guys talent...Patitucci's bass playing made me want to practice and sell my bass at the same time, as I will never be anywhere near his skill...but they were awesome!

[LouisManofMusic]

patitucci looks like a male nurse!

[2468DDT]

@LouisManofMusic I wasnt going to say anything but you took the words right out my mouth.

[jbpiano1]

@LouisManofMusic Thats why your mother never loved you....because you thought patitucci was a male nurse... MOTHER FUCK YOU BITCH!!

[korglove]

@LouisManofMusic , you should drop to your knees and pray to patitucci cause he is a GOD. stop being jealous and admit the man is a genious.

[jindodied]

actually... entire song = jizz in my pants

[jindodied]

3:11 = jizz in my pants

[dvamateur]

This KX5 seems to have an additional wheel pitch bender, in addition to the ribbon. Strange. Mine has a ribbon only.

[santibanks]

@dvamateur isn't he using the volume wheel which he could have converted to pitchbend?

[ICR68]

Oh man. I keep going into a trance whenever they play - they're that good!

[sebajo82]

Five monsters in one band. Good times.

[peppeascione]

Three component of this band are italian's son

[sebajo82]

@peppeascione Patitucci, Gambale and Corea?

[Mooncalf2012]

Shouldn't it say 'Elektric' Band? One of my 99 favorite tunes. Saw them live on their title album tour. (Chick is an alien, I think). Have you ever tried playing those mini keys and making it sound musical? Amazing.

[Rhythmicons]

sax player...oops

[Rhythmicons]

That flute player is just standing there, he can't keep up except for the intro lololol

[r1skate]

You mean Eric Marienthal? That is like saying Frank can't play sweeps. LOL!

[Rhythmicons]

No he woudln't be in Chick's band if he couldn't play lol.

[gief01]

@r1skate

true XD

[pownjhell]

@Rhythmicons Check out "Illusions", or any other song which he has a predominant part in. Then you'll realise how ridiculous your statement is

[Rhythmicons]

read a little deeper there, youll see I was just joking.

[pownjhell]

@Rhythmicons oh right haha, i'm a bit of a Elektric Band-Nazi, dispelling any negativity towards the band :P

[Rhythmicons]

I love Chick, especially his usage of the MiniMoog. Ive been listening to my father play his music on the piano ever since I can remember.

[oldwarcraftgamer]

thata actully not even a flute =)

[Rhythmicons]

I know I corected myself. lol

[Rhythmicons]

Joey Buttafuoco on guitar. 2:15 is my fave. Pattatucci is crazy.

This is a great one.

My dad loves Chick.

Eric

Rhythmicons

[jonannlou]

digimaton, you are wrong mate, that cd is more jazz funk based - one of my favorites (Beneath..)

[dvamateur]

Man, to me, any piece on which Chick plays the KX5 is wonderful! To me, that's like ultimate in keyboard playing, aside from what Hiromi does with the piano and the Nord Lead, of course.

[digimaton]

holy crap this sucks, that whole Beneath The Mask album sucked, real bad, probably the worst one they did, cheese for jazz FM or whatever it might be.

[exsequor699]

4:00 to 4:06 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[r1skate]

Don't you mean from 0:00 to 6:11? LOL

[JanCarlo88]

i love this music so much !

if this isn't a prove for a god (if there is one) - what is ??

[eladrianii]

hi

all excellent musicians teachers

good video

Adriani.

[dvr554]

does anyone know if patitucci is playing a yamaha? model?

[gr00veN1k1]

It is YAMAHA. Check out YAMAHA site for the model.I think it's his own model.

[alejandrodepinedo]

IMPRESIONANTEEEE!

Chick Corea es DIOS!

Patiticci, Weckl, Gambale & Eric... YOU ARE GREAT!

[blackamer1]

chick and jp mess up at 2:19....very hard shit to play

[free2bpoppie]

Funky and smooth, J.P.s bass work is awesome here as well, he sits in so well in the pocket, and he leaves the open spaces for the other players to shine in.

That's what a pro does!

He gives that damn yamaha J.P. signature a hell of workout though, right?

[dvamateur]

The KX5 is a fantastic instrument, especially in Chick's hands. To me, nothing touches the KX5 as far as portable keyboards go. I prefer it in black color, though.

[irocknj]

They keytar is almost as cool as the accordian

[indiandrew]

They are groovin so hard!

[arturolopez7]

Buen jazz!

[mrthundaboots]

Chick looks like Edward James Olmos with good skin!They were doing it back then!

[cavoglavi]

patitucci looks like a doctor in that blue outfit

[sazon0]

it seems like a nurse men

[Bluesub6]

Weird, but awesome.

[irocknj]

Chick Corea looks like Steven Hawking. I wonder if its a coincidence that they are both genius'.

[spectorman09]

more like Jerry Lewis as the nutty professor

[neanderthaldander]

you had to be able to rip shit up and dress like a dip-shit to be in this band... fuck you boones

[bshuker]

Any information about whether this concert is available anywhere in full?

[ivandanu]

that's a yamaha KX5... i want that one...very2 extremely rare these days....

[Joshypoo777]

john patitucci is wearing scrubs

[free2bpoppie]

Joshypoo777

What J.P. is wearing, is out the line! He's bearing down on that bassline with authority!

[bingefeller]

yeah! it looks like he's a surgeon on a lunch break and just decided to jam with some of his friends.

[BamBam56]

I like Weckl's Power Mullet personally.

[Souperbass]

I think its pretty obvious that Chick was the fashion director for this show.

[damoltier]

men we are in 1991, its normal this fashion sense

[manuelergcruz]

He's using a different keytar here. What brand and model is that?

[Gorgalisin]

it's probably Yamaha and probably the same model that chick usually uses but only in different color

[Chalo77]

Chick Corea has a nice cardigan on him...

[hotontheset22]

They are together with there music

[bluesmannonthebass]

awesome playing; terrible pullover;)

[Sjusovaren]

Did they play Free Step on this tour?

[ExtraFreshDinosaur]

what a tight sound

[stixs2005]

there was another video, same concert, that i loved. blues for mile maybe? anyway, does anyone know if i can get my hands on this concert video???!!!

[LefterisDelirium]

CHECK the video response. the beautiful song GOT a match in a live version..

[kakaeb]

she is so hot!!! wow!! B

[AtomicDopeDog]

Does someone knows whats the name of the bassplayer?

hes awsome....

[AlexDelPieroAleAle]

I think he is John Patitucci... But nobody knows the truth... LOL

[monsterjazzlicks]

Does anyone have a live video posting of "Jammin E Cricket" (from this album) ??

[monsterjazzlicks]

HOW is Chick triggering the sustained background chords on the 'intro' ?? Or is it 'sequenced' ??

[Symmetry44]

I think everything is a trend to the degree that as time and music both progress, so too the heightened awareness and the imminent need and desire for change which concurrently builds upon the former.

The progression of music itself reduces all bygone influence to that of a "trendy nature" I think -- a trend being nothing more than a passing of fancy of course.

Albeit trends of their own accord do seem to scratch the itch with more profound nuances, cliches & niches attached to them.

[jacs91]

God I hate the 80s. They did to music what Hitler did to the jews...

[cocobass]

You are entitled to your opinion. Sadly, you posses neither the depth nor intellect to fully appreciate the magnitude of musicianship displayed here. Run along....Coldplay is calling....

[jacs91]

I said nothing that underestimated the musicianship displayed by these world class musicians. Musicianship is always there. They are truly virtuosos, but, as the 80s infected all music, they tended to make it a lot more cheesy and with "astral" sound effects that are way too ridiculous. I personally prefer his akoustic band, or the latest elektric band CD, "To The Stars". Now there you have musicianship AND good taste in both musicality and use of electronics.

[Symmetry44]

Everything you said has credence only to the degree that it is one man's perception; therefore in that light is your comment to be respected, but never taken beyond the single-sightedness of its efficacy.

"Cheesy" is in the perception of the beholder, and if it weren't then my statements and opinions would be in agreement with yours, but alas I love the sound.

Those who created the sound know a little more than you or I about creativity and therein lies the differentiating factor.

Peace.

[jacs91]

You are absolutely correct. But as you said, it is all about perception. Now, I may perceive 80s influence in Chick's music as "cheesy" or "industrial", and it is exactly what I wanted to point out. It's my point of view, not to be accepted as an invariable truth, since nothing in music is exempt from personal opinion. What you can say objectively is that Chick's virtuosity as well as all the other musicians' is present, since this is not commercial or pop music. It's just another trend.

[WuSchell]

what games shall we play tonight?? ;)

[drumology2001]

I love how Patitucci looks like he just finished some kind of minor surgical procedure before he went on stage. Nice purple scrubs!

He's still my bass hero. ;)

[iiirhd]

there's absolutely no excuse to be playing a keytar

sorry chick

[nathan87]

for all I care, he could play a washboard if he sounds as good as that ^^

[kayary]

HJahjahja!

[winkabloblob]

I'm with you on that oneiiirhd

[ICR68]

Huh? What on earth are you on about? Have you been on the pills again?

[BeatSpirit]

This is seriously some gay, smooth jazz music. Not saying its bad-musically- just really really really gay. Listening to it, the duet between patitucci and corea is like a dialogue between two former gay lovers.

This sounds like cheesy 1980's video game music. Or maybe the song they would play at the end of a bad TV show. Also in the 80's.

[iiirhd]

as a chick fan

i agree with you

and thats hilarious

[vithaj92]

@BeatSpirit It is all subjective, personally I love this "cheesy" thing going on than his other projects. Seriously, this is so good I almost get sexualy arroused.

[scoutcheie16]

is that patitucci on bass?

[Poliotas]

Yes, that's John. Great tune, one of my favorites!

[juanbarros88]

I want Charged Particles and Jamming E. Cricket =( .... as well

[aronizer]

Damn, amazing what these guys are capable to...

[j4sc3]

99 Flavors and pistachio ain't one!! HAHA

Love Chick with RTF. Romantic Warrior is one of the best CD's ever.

[AXXID]

this song cannot be more chickcoreaesqe.

[YAS6931]

who is this male nurse on the bass ? it's an halloween's show ??? lol

Stupid punk! this are great musicians !

[bailey6757]

wow!!!!!!!!

[bena1989]

such a flipping tight bassist

damn

[d1versify]

the worst thing about that is chick corea is really old now.... u know what i mean :/

[flavio195]

there's only one reason to believe in god...Chick Corea!

[kostasburas]

the bass !!

[vivelavidarocka]

I saw him that year. I love this song.

[Sman72]

I love this song. I also feel special that Im like one of the only people born in 92' that know who Corea is. Also, dude, if you can, can you get a full of illusions on Youtube? Thanks!

[40012338]

love this great job

[ememtaow]

If you horny,listen to Chick Corea!!

Have Fun.

[Masterspionek]

It`s great...Dave & John :)))))))

[larkydozer]

Soundtrack to an 80's race car video game.

Awful, just terrible shit.

Weckl's playing makes music as ugly as his hairdo.

It should have been "PUT THE MASK BACK ON."

[rob4ra]

hater hater hater hater

[AntiAntiAmerica]

The group epitomizes a musical expression which seemed to put an emphasis on individual chops rather than forming an integrated group sound. So typical of that time period in jazz/fusion. Weckl ruined drumming in the late eighties. Quantized almost.

[marc777danielle]

dude it seems 2 me like you are so negative that you should just kill yourself and do yourself and all of us a service. no one wants 2 hear your anti chops, anti weckl or anti american 4 that matter, shpeel

[juanbarros88]

arent you the gospel fanatic????

[marc777danielle]

i'm not a gospel fanatic. i'm a music lover.

[marc777danielle]

i actually don't even like gospel but i can appriciate the musicianship. i'm not gonna write off a genre just because it personally does not appeal 2 me. hell i don't like country iether but counrty musicians are incredible song writers

[juanbarros88]

anyway it was a joke, agree with you though

[marc777danielle]

considering our last exchange could you blame me. anyway. i live in the ATL so all i hear is (besides soldier boy and snap) is country and gospel. not really much of a jazz scene. a far cry from the NYC scene i'm use to. actually they do have a kinda "jazz light" scene( what i call it anyway) but its really underground. although, lotsa jazz cats live hear and you can go 2 certain bars on any given night and see chambers or royster or lil jon roberts shredding a set in an impromptu jam session.

[stromonie]

you're unbelievable

[JoBoSo]

After this stupid reply (which was too much intelectual masturbation) I must admit that I am warming to the US again and its fabulous Jazz!

[luvkns]

WRONG!

[Joshypoo777]

you are retarded. Chick only used the best. Weckl was amazing in the eighties and inspired alot of people. you are stupid and not a musician. please die

[AntiAntiAmerica]

@Joshypoo777

You sound like a teenage fan boy.

Make a jazz noise when you flush.

[d1versify]

@Joshypoo777 who?

[kineticdrummer]

@Joshypoo777 you made me laught! hahaha

[RasMajnouni]

@Joshypoo777 You must have been in a bad mood,or nervous when you said "please die".I'm sure you don't say that often & might even be nice all of the time. What we wish on others only comes back to you in the spiritual worlds. I would write a short note of apology to the other person.It will help you be more humble & erase your curse.

[ertoliart]

@RasMajnouni Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha. Wait, that wasn't sarcasm?

[Whit3n3lack]

@RasMajnouni WOW What The Fuckedy fuck fuck

[RasMajnouni]

@Whit3n3lack Thank G-D we have all sorts of people in the world, otherwise we'd all talk like Dr.Dre or Justin Beiber,though I haven't actually seen them,I realize that their are those who like them.How would we appreciate a good smelling rose if there were not people who give off the stench of sewer from their brain?

[zzztopzzz]

AntiAntiAmerica, Are you deaf?

[vithaj92]

@larkydozer N000000000000b Is fucking all I caN SAY TO YOU, go learn to play you freakin n00b

[larkydozer]

@vithaj92

My facility with an instrument (or anyone's for that matter) is irrelevant.

This music sounds like Japanimation.

[kayary]

@larkydozer JEJE

[QTGbass]

MORAITO where did you get this footage? What a great concert.

[sirfrancisdrake2008]

Ackerlaw: unfortunately, the only commercially recorded live performances on DVD that I know of are the following: "Live in Madrid" (1986 and very rare today), "Live at the Maintenance Shop" (recorded 1986 but released only in 2004) and the band's reunion featured in "Live at Montreux" (2004). I don't know of any similar DVD of the "Beneath the Mask" tour from where the above clip of "99 flavors" is taken. But let's hope there are more videos from more fans...!

[ackerlaw2004]

These guys were just the SICK3ST. I'm going straight to Chick's site and see if this is commercially and immediately available on DVD.

[ackerlaw2004]

AWESOME!! Thank you for the upload!

[exsequor699]

OMFG!! look at 4:00-4:06.

[Ynger63]

Yeah, it looks incredible

and it sounds great...
