Billy Cobham's Spectrum live from the Conga Room!

[dadduorp]

When was this show?! I'd have paid anything to see Cobham and Sklar team up again!

[jonsilence]

Was there for this gig and stood just below Clint Eastwood who was checking it out from his own booth...unreal. I asked Billy afterwards about the original Spectrum version of this with Tommy Bolin: "We did two takes and the one on the album is take two." Wow, where is Take ONE???????

[cromagmax]

This sucks..........sometimes you shouldn't try to play shit you did way better 40 years before

[viennastudio1]

This song is called "Quadrant 4" Just in case. And Bullets is going to play that song, too.

And we`re good.

That's Lee Sklar on bass who played on the album version in '73. Man, if they only would've had Jan Hammer and Tommy Bolin (impossible I know).

[cromagmax]

@cwphunky68 Lee Sklar!!! Man , Gary is such a freak...I hear was actually in a mental hospital for a while...but he shreds!!!

[isaacleedrums]

Gary Husband as in the exceptionally talented, top notch, drummer?

[marc777danielle]

and equally amazing pianist

[chrook]

Wow, Sklar still doing it big time.

Brown does a good job here, but the Bolin solo is impossible to surpass. Tone and fire, Tommy is missed.

"were not worthy "

Amen, bro. ;-)

[DrumHero2639]

QUADRANT 4!

[d0g69s]

Crazy. Dean looks a bit like Weird Al Yonkovic here. It's a crazy shuffle he plays the whole song on the bass drums, man....

[Rikk303]

Guitar is so much better when played open-mouthed

[indydrt]

wow lee sklar ,,kool for a sec i thought it was billy gibbons,,woops sorry guys..lol

[Kittaan]

That's Lee Sklar on Bass and Dean Brown on Guitar, in case anyone's interested. Gary is such a bad ass on the drums his own self too... Billy is a mad man. Going to see him tonight in San Francisco!! With Dean and Victor Bailey. Thanks for posting this.

[BibcottUnitas]

This is awesome footage, just great!

[drummerofchicago]

[Groovehigh]

[TonyBtheEG]

this looks like much fun live

[corigraves]

wow that is just amazing .. Gary can really play keys well ...and Billy omg words fail me at his skill he s a master ! :)

[tomney1]

Don't try this at home kids! Must have 12 when my friend's older brother put this on (72?). Viciousjbone you have my deepest regards for posting this; did you film it? Great camera angle- sends you to heaven while it nails you to the floor with the ferocity of the music.

[ViciousJBone]

Glad you like my work! It was a major bitch to shoot this show! 3 other guys got their cameras taken by security. I somehow got lucky..

He hasn't toured hear since, either.

[classAvideo]

This shows why it's so tough to do this song live! In over two dozen times seeing Cobham, I've never seen him perform "Quadrant 4" onstage. Great post!

[AsafSirkis]

wow!!!!!!!!!!
