[tinicum54]

I also had this album in the early 70's. Check out an old movie called "The Groove Tube". This song is used int that movie in one of the various sketches. Richard Belzer is one of the actors.

[Filmhits]

Glad to see you guys like it. I was the producer-engineer on the gig.

[perez14soccer18]

Nice to see that this music is still enjoyed 40 years later. Can be same be said of what passes for music today?

[roccopep]

These guys actually came into a club we were playing in Atlantic City 1971 or 72 and sat in minus Billy Cobham he was leaving the band. Thier vocalist Eddie heard us play New York City and brought the whole band in to see us .

[roccopep]

Sorry I thought you were serious

[roccopep]

Also Will Lee on bass , Don Grolnic keys,Eddie Vernon vocals

MY DAD HAD THE 8-TRACK. I FOUND IT ON VYNIL YEARS LATER..... WE WORK DAMN HARD TO KEEP THIS REAL SHIT ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheJonnyc1]

was so hard to find this, loved it when it first came out and still fresh today...thanks

[Zvuk52]

Great music never grows old. Thanks

[curiousnomad]

I don't know- the horn section is a little weak. I think they should hire some seasoned Studio PROS........LOL

[roccopep]

@curiousnomad What Brecker Bros weak?

[curiousnomad]

@roccopep It's a joke- obviously there was no better than Michael and Randy with Barry Rogers. The horns were KILLING on this, and the whole band was amazing. They improvised a lot of the horn parts, and this was truly jazz-rock. If we could only hear this kind of thing live nowadays in a small NYC club....

[gratzr]

I bought this album when it first came out because Randy Brecker had sounded so great on the first (Al Kooper) Blood, Sweat, & Tears album, and was glad I did when I ran into all of the other players on this. Great posting!

[KleePietro]

At this time nobody categorized music like nowadays and people listened to these new bands regardless of the background of the musicians. In this album there are rockers, jazz players, studio musicians, etc..Great period to be in a creative band like this.

[JohnLnyc]

The bass player was a "lefty" Doug Lubhan who also played on some Doors records. He is a pretty incredible musician. Much under rated.

[costa1953]

thank you so much ... I've been waiting for this post so long ....

greetings from costa@italy.rome

I bought this vinyl from the cutout bin in early 70's because it's cover art matched a polyester shirt I had (I swear!) Got it home & found out the players - wow! Great bridge band between Chicago/BS&T-style horn bands and Mahavishnu/RTF/Weather Report jazz-rock fusion.

[bmarsh1]

I had both their records and loved this tune, thanks for posting. I saw a lineup close to this at Paul's Mall in Boston in the 70's, Billy Cobham (Band) on drums, John Abercrombie on guitar, Brecker Bros. on horns, bass & keys? memorable show.

[musicminor25]

@bmarsh1 You're Welcome!!

[SOULMUSICFX]

[MrCudaddy]

I saw them with Buddy Miles at the specrtum in 1971,great show. Can you up-load "Clouds" from the same lp? Thanks,mrCudaddy

[gaaggo]

thanks

[claryscat]

My best friend and I drove from Virginia to California in the spring of '73. We had a cassette tape of this record that we played over and over. It was the sound track to our epic adventure. I haven't heard this in 35 years or more. WOW! A blast from the past. Huh?

[LEGSUDESIRE]

nice kind of reminds me of Donald Byrd & the Blackbyrds

[koscina5]

I bought this vinyl in 1970! Love it till this day. This song and Dream Suite are incredible!

[freein2339]

That's what I'm talking about....!!!

[randylincoln]

COBHAM CRUSHES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[claskew1]

Great stuff...upload more of this if you can. All of my stuff is back in the States.

[randylincoln]

this is truly the quintessential ending of a song ever solely produced by anybody!!! it captures the essence, the heartbeat, and the soul and spirit of nyc at that moment in time!!

[ruffbizness]

that beat Cobham busts out at the beginning is one of the greatest intros ever!!! I bought this album in used record store in KC and was very happy to find it! My dad used to have the 8-track!

[MrChangosantero]

killer stuff!!

thanks, cause Im a very fan of barry rogers!!

[jamesintheplace]

WOW, this is good music!!

[rgbme]

I love this album. I have it now on CD. I still pull it out and listen to it after all these years. I also have their second album on CD. " Imagine My Surprise" This first one is my favorite. Both are available at amazon.

[geekazoid777]

This is great. A young Billy Cobham giving hints how he would Revolutionize drumming

[intrakgroup]

can also be heard on Ray Barretos Lucrecia the cat from "the other road" album 1973

[randylincoln]

nothing else is needed to be said!!!!!!

[Timpscars]

I have this album, buried somewhere in this house! Haven't heard it in probably thirty some odd years. Thanks for sharing a great memory.

[lucascain7]

Actually got to perform (warm-up band) at a Dreams concert. Unbelievable group, too bad the band was short-lived.

[bf1973]
