Great recording and video but there's one point where Wayne's soprano is playing but the horn is clearly outside of Wayne's mouth.... what's up with that?
@langerzoriginal I've seen Wayne many times and he has a somewhat...aloof stage presence. He's a mysterious guy. Very cerebral. Never know what you're gonna get with him. But love him!!!!
@redmonicus You insane? That's Alex Acuna, and he and Manolo Badrena are arguably the best rhythm section Weather Report has ever had! Just check out their compatibility in their solo part in Montreux, which was later cut and made into the album version of Rumba Mama (from Black Market or Heavy Weather, can't remember at the moment). HA! Fool...?
@langerzoriginal They're all sweating profusely in this show, like it's 100 degrees in there. Wayne repeatedly wipes off his brow with his hand and then shakes off the sweat, I think he was very uncomfortable (but didn't sound like it!)
@jibsmokestack1 He might not actually have made a mistake (in the sense that he didn't WANT to play what he did), but I'm pretty sure that note is not in the key of this song. I think the "River People" groove works perfectly here, it's just that one note seems off. Either way the song and the groove are exceptional.
As for Wayne, coulda been he was feeling a bit under the "weather", or perhaps two percussionists flailing the crap out of their Chinas had him wishing he was elsewhere.
Check out Jaco's note selection, phrasing and technique. Absolutely smokes any Bass players ass. The guy rules. Yeah Wayne, throw down but give your rhythm section props for giving you the floor with giants.
@langerzoriginal that's just Wayne, he's in the zone when he plays, other than that I think there may have been an issue with the stage sound, I think he winces a bit at one point when the drums/percussion volume intensifies, it seems to be drowning him out, the monitors may not have been cutting through, so he had to struggle to hear the keys perhaps, who knows?
@digimaton Hi,I saw them in France,Bayonne,on July 4 ( or 3...?)1976 .I was 18,I'll never forget this moment of pure joy.
U know,very few people was listening and enjoy this music...I could not believe it...See:in the SAME night:Shakti+Weather+George Duke/Billy Cobham Band and...Herbie with The Headhunters!
This dreamteam,just four 30 Francs (5 dollars !).
Never I forget it !IAll of us were impressed by the CLASS of Wayne.Few movements of body,but all energy inside his Saxophone...
@digimaton I will have the tendency to agree on this comment...Wayne is one of the rare greatest musicians who is perfect in every thing, besides, the harmony,melody and his own musical statement/ phraces. he has perfect rhythm. I don't understand how some percussionist can play the cymbals when the drummer is also playing the cymbals...maybe that is one of the reasons...read this with a grain of salt.
Hey people, there were two songs back in 1978 that introduced me to JAZZ and I am still in love with this music: Gibraltar and Kowloon Jag by Larry Corryell. I heard those two pieces again and again till I started buying all those LP's (yes in Vinyl then). I also love Alphonos Johnson's bassplaying on the studio version of this masterpiece ...
This is the song you need if you got ten minutes to get out of the door. Two cups of coffee....a shower....find wallet and keys from yesterday..feed the fish....throw the cat out (and I do mean throw) the door. Make sure there is no drug paraphanelia visiable before closing the door (just in case !!!) and and bread and peanut butter in a bag with a knife for my lunch!!! 9:57 out the door.
definitely, he was their best drummer cuz he was always pushing it to the limit, you could feel he gave all he had, and you could feel how sometimes he would go out of bounds but always come back in the rythm
remember,
LIVE AND UNRELEASED !!!
(buy this album if you dont have it)
Teen Town, the two drums/percussions solos by Acuna and Badrena, waw
Ha!! dig how Jaco is quoting the line from River People!! But of course, this was well b4 Mr. gone.. correct?? I believe this was the " Heavy Weather" line up, if I'm not mistaken. And yes, Acuna was really good here.. but I think you could say the same for Peter Erskine. Jaco is just TOO much here!! YOW!!
i baught this dvd frm amsterdam blue note jazz cd shop.... i have watched it b4 bed every night SINCE I BAUGHT IT lol sound quality is perfect jus about
that would prob be zawinul's doing. i could see him being a control freak in that manner in a bad way. but even though they didn't do as much improv jam, the fact that every bar in the song was something new...some little nuance or change in chord progression, i thought that that made the mental stimulation high for me
Yeah but it's a bit like buying some fine clothes but never wearing them or so know what I mean? These are all great musicians able to play for a long time whitout being boring, now live and unreleashed is the best for me especially the line up with Chester Thompson and Alphonso Johnson Those are chalenging musical stuff and long instrumental jams at the same time when i listen to freezing fire I don't get the feeling of something is missing
But if they would leghten the jam part it would still be the same great song, there are some WR song that I don't like like birdland i don't know why but the melody of Gibraltar is simply great a bit like in a way of goodbye porkpie hat simple but maaaan I wish I could find out great lines like that (ofcourse Thelonious Monk is the best in writing my opinion)
@Kemenesfalvi that was because the medium (33 1/3 RMP Lps) only allowed about 40 minutes of music. Musicians get paid by the piece for publishing so it's economics; shorter pieces or starve. This bands music was never about the recordings, the recordings are there as little signposts to what they were doing live.
trop la folie à la fin de la vid !!! Acuna fais signe à Jaco de lancer le riff de fin mais il veut pas il est trop lancé .Wayne shorter fait un dernier riff mais personne s arrete à par lui ! Hey Digimaton super cette video (dommage que tu n ai pas laissé jusqu à la fin )qu est ce que donnerai pour retourner dans le passé et voir ce concert !!!
Great Stuff, but I don't think it's their best percussion unit out there. The more I look/listen to Weather Report, the more I'm convinced that their earlier lineups and music were their best moments as a band. After Sweetnighter, you can pick great tracks off the rest of the albums but none of them as a whole are great. The music flattened out, too much Zawinul, too formula, too slick and not enough soul...let alone that other worldly quality I love about them most of all.
wait...so acuna's playing this one live, although chester played it on the album and acuna played perc. Were the drums parts interchangeable amongst the percussionist rotation??
i love how the album version's got the cowbell tuned to the key of the song. not happening here. ohwell..clearly not a problem tho, cause they're killing it regardless
This is just insane! Shame you don't see Jaco that much - the least, in fact. And Shorter seems to be so serious during the Montreux tour, I've only seen him smile once, lol.
