[jafuso61]

Great MUSIC! Great TRIBUTE!

[Tdubs2u]

I can't believe how long the intro is before the song actually starts. But this is some classic stuff. I don't think I have seen anyone else play the Chapman Stick except for Alfonso Johnson. Great find!

[deepseabattles]

@Tdubs2u re: the Chapman Stick: check out King Crimson.

[palipao]

Yeah,I totally agree,this is Real Music.

I grew up with this concert in my ears,in my heart...

Pioneers.

[ROCKKERFAT]

F**k!! This is REAL MUSIC!!!

[techxdabruiser]

What a group ! First time seeing Al play the Chapman Stick.

[nubonyx]

I can't believe this is on Youtube!!!!!! Classic!!!!! Thank the Creator for George Duke, Billy Cobham, John Schofield, Alphonso Johnson, and YOUTUBE for blessing us all with this classic!!!! I first heard this when I was sixteen...1976...Philly...time­less classic!

[WahkibaJ]

WHAT KINDA YELLOW TOMS ARE THOSE?????

[frostbyteSB]

@WahkibaJ Those toms were made by the NORTH company in the 70's. Their inventor, Roger North also had another company make them named MTI. The toms were made out of fiberglass and they stopped making in the early 1980's.  - Isn't Wikipedia wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

[frostbyteSB]

This definately the earliest footage i've seen of someone playing the Chapman Stick. I guess Alphonso (along with Levin, of course) were the first two high-profile players to use that instrument which I think first came out in 1975.

[huzzism]

This IS the shit!



[MrAAron5775]

A MEGA Blast from the past !

[clark90able]

what is cobham drinking ? water, beer perhaps, or soda??

[teague67]

chapman stick eh? mustv been a brand new thing back then.

[jfusion10]

hey Scofield... smoking is bad for you.

[davidjohnstephens]

Thank you for this! Oh Joy!!!!

[wildsticks]

This song makes me cry it's so good. Heard it on record (vinyl) tonight at a drum mentor's house who has a ridiculous Cobham collection. Instantly, hearing the first few notes Gave me chills instantly. I mean it was so intense that I do even think I can listen to on mp3 or cd and not feel the same as I did with hearing it on record.

[pegsterdtown]

THIS SONG IS crackin!!!!!

[thamotherflippin]

MYKA'S 7TH SEAL! AHHHH! cobham is insane

[kolisionn]

@thamotherflippin 7th seal is fuckin epic!

[FusionHowie]

Thank you for this video. You made me sooo happy. I missed this era by two years.

[nukanub]

this song is majestic.

[RalfGer]

lol, cig on stage

[RalfGer]

pitty that there was no digital recording at this time

[nomadikindustries]

Blasphemy

[Asymmatrix]

Seeing Alphonso with The Stick, it hit me.. this band could pull off Crimson's Indiscipline if so inclined (if it had been written yet). Scofield does Fripp? It... could.... work!

[soundscaperadio]

Man! What a blast from the past! I was AT this show at the casino in Montreux in '76

AND I just played it off the album this morning on my radio show. Good stuff doesn't go away, man

[rafa1969]

I don't believe you... but in case it is true, wow :)

[soundscaperadio]

I went to high school in Vaud. One day, a friend left "Total Eclipse" on my turntable and I became a Cobham fan. When we saw the Montreux Jazz schedule that year, we bought tickets and went - it was a big deal for a couple teenagers so we couldn't believe we were there either. The next year we saw Shakti and Sun Ra and the year after that I became a jazz DJ in the US. Been one ever since.

[Jahmylov]

@soundscaperadio

Great story and journey

[e320w]

GREAT - thanks for adding. I saw them in cologne germany during the same tour... fantastic, bass player Alphonso Johnson still kills me!! THX

[nywlaw]

Stunts, Blunts, & Hip Hop. Stunts are a man's best friend...

[floffunk]

se zarpan

son los mejores.

[clickidyclack]

@ 01:36 is what Mica Nyne sampled for "7th seal"

But he used the album version. I think that this one is way hotter...

[P0rn0ralle84]

No the sample in the song is a flute sample no keyboard!

[jammmessenger]

Sorry You are wrong . It was a sample of the same kind of Moog synth in this video .

However with a sine wave , not the square wave you hear on this video.

[jammmessenger]

Yes he did sample this song , but not this version.

We got it off George Duke & Billy Cobham live in Europe.

Good ear my man .

[clickidyclack]

As soon as I read "We" in your response I had to check your channel...hahaha.

Jammmessenger, I remember seeing you @ Beat Cypher in LA like, um...maybe 4 months back. Anyway...where the heck can I find any new music you've done...

[zappajazz]

Thank You for have you this and upload video.

[illcollins]

Mr. John Lucien on the intro...

[jbc6]

Check out Cobham from 8:00 - 8:26. Damn!

[khechari]

utter phatness

[Daftendirektour]

This sounds just like the tune from P Moneys Everything...

Hmmm... He sampled it didn't he!!!

[Frostyb0y]

Yeah he did. And respect to him for digging this deep!

[mandrew81]

4 of the best of the best.

[gdooyear]

[KenPatera78]

Great Song, Great Music!!!

[truemusicians]

greatttttest

[wassis72]

I love it.

[goecart]

One of the best things that happened in the 70s.

Best drummer, best jazz guitarist, best new talented bassist, most soulful, jazziest keyboarder and a she-alien with a "mighty low voice". Still one of my favourites !

[Lukasio666]
