  • ....And there goes me doing my U.S. History report

  • This song changed my life.  Jaco's playing on this tune is - for me - the best bass playing ever recorded.

  • @DeeCee I think that refrain you refer to came not from a doorbell, but the peals of church bells, from a long time ago. The doorbell is just a cheap imitation.

  • CELPH TITLED-MAD AMMO

  • Jaco Pastorious at his best...with that big fat sound.. poppin that fretless bass! A great Wayne Shorter composition...what else would you expect...they'll never be another Wayne!

  • I thank my long ago friend and fellow guitarist Colin Butler for enlightening me to the joys of this superb album. Excellent.

  • Comment removed

  • 1:52 Zawinul says "what are you gonna do about it, biotch"

  • Justin Bieber watched this video. Once.

  • This track is all about the bass line. There's your sick boy. The melody on top is cool and clicks right along, this band was so tight. But, you have to at least grant the notion that the refrain is copped from a doorbell. Peace.

  • @DeeCee8121 tighter than dress shoes on bigfoot. 

  • @DeeCee8121 -as you know the bass runs the show and not the drums contrary to pop-ular belief

  • How's the weather... incredible. How's Kenny G... putrid. Damn I miss Jaco but he passed his story to us.

  • im just getting into weather report. I love this one and Herandu and a few others. Can someone tell what they think should be the first album i should get?

  • @TrevorsaurusRex Heavy Weather.

  • @TrevorsaurusRex "Black Market !" if you like it get the two before that one .

  • @TrevorsaurusRex Heavy Weather, this is their towering achievement. Listen to this masterpiece in order, it will become the soundtrack to your life.

  • @msinorma okay!

  • for me..its the keyboard part that comes in at around 3.58 man that is the sickest baddest meanest most sublime solo ever.

  • @bbqbod That sealed the deal for me too. Zawinul was a friggin boss, man. After Miles bands,. this was the only monsta jazz band left.

  • @roscoegino to be honest miles band started a lot of good shit. if you think about it the four best keyboardists came out of that band and made some of the best music ever: herbie hancock, joe zawinul, keith jarrett, chick corea. n all of them played on "in a silent way" (except jarrett)

  • oh HELL no!!!!!!!!...This jaw-dropping musical performance does NOT end like this on the original vinyl. This ending is AWFUL!!!! I would love to slap the taste out of the mouth of the record company exec who approved this!!! On the original "HEAVY WEATHER, this song simply fades out with Zawinul still soloing his ass off. This is a not PALLADIUM as it was originally recorded.

  • only 1 dislike? ok, I still believe in human being ha

  • MAD AMMO

  • any time i read the word 'palladium' in a magazine or book or hear the word spoken on tv, this song immediately starts playing in my head.. its like this song has totally redefined the word for me..

  • @zwartepiet412 I'm thinking same thing.....instant electricity from the first note!

  • . . . the very best of jazz and electric fused together. . . always makes me feel good when my life is not going my way. . . GOD BLESS WEATHER REPORT!!!!

  • Fusion without a guitar, imagine that! Always wondered if Dave Weckl was thinking "Weather Report" when he dropped the guitar from his band. This has to be one of the top 10 jazz albums of all time. These guys (and Chick Corea) were ahead of their time.

  • Playing this on a fretless bass is orgasmic.

  • It's just not the same to play it on a bass with frets!

    I want a fretless!!!

    Love it!!!

  • I have Heavy Weather as my morning alarm !

  • this 1 dislike vote is beyond a fukin bieber fan, a high school bad music fan as well, he thinks listening powerful wayne shorter sax and says: I dont like timbre saxophone!!! poor asshole

  • Love this.. So glad my dad gave me this album for my 18th birthday 2 years ago:D

  • @cafl u have an awesome dad.

  • @cafl

    Your father is a very wise man!

  • @cafl yea the cd was rediculous,still is

  • @DeaconJohn16 1 justin bieber fan disliked this!

  • Listen to Jaco. Quit your job and just listen to Jaco, you'll be a lot happier.

  • Thanks for sharing

  • @DeaconJohn16 you said it

  • listen to jaco go at that fretless bass.... he will always amaze me...

  • Play that shit Wayne!!!! I was given my first Weather Report album when I was in Junior High @ 13 yrs old and I never looked back! That was in 1973! The kids in my school thought I was crazy! They were like, “what are you listening to?” I told them to open their minds and get an education! Ha! I was lucky enough to see them at the Hollywood Bowl back in the day! They were awesome! Miss you Joe & Jaco!

  • OMG I love this piece... and Teen Town and Birdland...

  • Now this is what I call music. Who's with me?

  • You can call this Mambo @ is best, wayne shorter is the Bomb , what a Sax player,

  • Can you imagine being a teenager just starting to feel good about his bass playing then this Jaco guy comes along rapes the very concept of the bass and changes the sound and approach forever. Now it's all Victor and Victor.

  • OK...Palladium was Dance Club...very good size...where most of the Latin musicians in NY were hanging and Playing and also the jazz Players came to Check on Machito, Tito P and Tito R. of copurse many other bands...that is why Wayne wrote this tune in tribute to Palladium dance club in the 50 and 60' and this tune was recorded on 1976 it came out in 1977...cool.-aa.

  • @SuperAlexacuna That's right my man; you nailed it!

  • My first time hearing this song and music from Weather Report. I'm absolutely amazed!!

    Instant fan here!

  • @HAZARDOUS88 Soak it up man, all of it; it's a beautiful thing.

  • I hear Ravel, Stravinsky, Jossu n Dour, Jobim, Irakere and great others sitting n smiling happy in een beautiful painted Merry Go around. To me this is the greatest music that ever was performed. Incredible strong, very artistic, wonderful, attractive and swinging too. Weather report is a comet that shines by now in other places in space, far away.

  • @ronaldsnijders U are too true! You hear Irakere here? Then I ask for your help. Once I was taken to a spot in the mountains of Pinar del Rio province Cuba to hear 5 man orchestra playing with hand made wood(bamboo?) organs...want to go back but know it's out of this dimension now. I ask you now for all us, draw us a map to that place you describe so well. Dark times here on earth...show us where Jaco lives on please!

  • Poly-rhythms....

  • To those who don't know Jazz music or Weather Report for that matter Wayne Shorter is an underrated musician living in the shadows of more notable stars. But the truth is he's one of the greatest jazz saxophonist and composers of his generation. His compositions with Weather Report: most notably Mysterious Traveler, Elegant People, and Lusitanos are some of their greatest music. His compositions with Miles Davis are some of his best ever, and he has 4 Grammys with the The Wayne Shorter Quartet.

  • Why would they name a song after an element? (Palladium is an element used in pollution control fyi.) Pretty funky nonetheless

  • @BassGuitarGuy128 No. Palladium was the a name of a popular NYC jazz club back in the 30s and 40s. It's their dedication to that place.

  • @roscoegino

    Okay, so then why would they name a jazz club after an element used in pollution control? hahaha

  • @roscoegino Good call! Firstly, it's just a bad name for a tune. But, it was certainly an ode to the classic NY jazz club; harking back to Wayne's bebop roots.

  • @roscoegino Actually it was the 50's and 60's, but yes, that's the general idea.  Latin jazz club that Wayne Shorter (composer of this song) and Joe Zawinul (keyboardist) undoubtedly played at many times while with Miles Davis' band.

  • @roscoegino it was also the name of night club in metairie, la in the 80's

  • @roscoegino A palladium or palladion was an image of great antiquity on which the safety of a city was said to depend.

  • @roscoegino A palladium or palladion was an image of great antiquity on which the safety of a city was said to depend.

  • @BassGuitarGuy128 its an expensive element isnt it,

  • Simply awesome !!! When I am driving to work in the AM i turn this way up and it lifts me right up......that and an ice coffee. Jaco makes me sit up and bounce my head.

    Oh and 2:36 is just makes my hair stand up.

  • musical orgasm!!!!!!!!

  • huaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! so great!!!!! to start a day with this maximum volume!!!

  • Sooooo Grooovin

  • heuuuuu!!!!!!!!!

  • To all the Weather Report fans out there, this line-up from Heavy Weather is the best to me!! Joe, Wayne, Manoldo, Alex and the great Jaco teamed up to make this super classic album and one of my favorites of all time!! Thank you!!!

  • @m7a7b725 Yes you are 100% right on the money. A lot of cats have come and gone within the Weather Report but this is truly their best line-up.

  • Pure early jazz funk love it back to the 70's

  • This is the s--t!!!!!

    I don't care who you are, if you truly love music, this stuff makes you love it even more!

    If you don't know that you love music, this will make up your mind for you!

  • Jaco is aweome but if you want to hear incredible talent, check out my nephew Nelson Bustamonte III. He first picked up a bass only yesterday and is already jamming out to Mary Had a Little Lamb...

  • Enough talk about Kenny G. Guys who listen and like him , tuck their pee-pee's between their legs and get tingly all over thinking about fabrics.

  • @PumpkinPuffer HAHA!

  • @PumpkinPuffer @PumpkinPuffer Hey!!!!...I resemble that remark!!!...uuuh...I mean ..I RESENT that remark!!!...lol... ;-) Hey...for the record...'Most u old enough' jazz heads already know that Kenny GORELICK was a pretty decent fusion saxophonist when he was jamming with Jeff Lorber bands back in the 70's.

  • But of course his commercial success was realized in the watered down, soft-ass "jazz flavored" instrumental music that the CD 101.9 and other stations "popularized" (stuffed down our throat) and labeled as "Smooth Jazz"...cough...gag...what a joke! (which is a smack in the face of Mile's REAL smooth jazz aptly called"Cool Jazz") In any event...thus was born Kenny G. Lets all thank true artists who push envelope of music and create the true improvisational music, like Mr. Shorter.

  • @keybobrob Yes Kenny Gorelick was very good with Jeff Lorber -- and it's with JLF where he left his best work. G's musicianship went straight to the toilet the moment he went solo. However, his banal style has made him one rich MoFo. This is what happens when you sell your musical soul to the devil (lol).

  • Wayne Shorter is a real genius, one of the best composer ever, and you guys you add the name of this sax player that I even don't want to name, shame on you !!!

    Give some respect to Mr Shorter, we're not talking about sales here, we talk about music, and it's all about music.

  • @Rodgebi you spelt genius wrong, genius.

  • shorter is a genius for sure

  • beautiful.. this should have been a premier band in theie era

  • Yes. Truely a legend.

  • Wayne Shorter, to me, is one of the great Jazz legends--like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, etc.

  • This is one of the funkiest joints I've ever heard in my life. Jaco is making that bass speak a whole new language. Jaco, Alphonso Johnson, Stanley Clark, they are just so innovative. I love this song.

  • my personal weather report favourite

  • my favorite, too.

  • Shorter

  • pure genius !

  • one of my favorite tune from WR,love that fusion funk mix. very soulful

  • wayne shorter the most under rated saxophonist ever. the man gets no credit for his greatness, yet they pour that awful kenny g down our throats.

  • yeah, and that's largely due to wayne not going the pop route (thank you wayne). and also because his name is more synonymous with a band (Miles Davis and WR) than as a solo artist unlike grover washington, jr.

  • @roscoegino Well, Wayne WROTE man of Miles Davis' classic tunes. He's the greatest post bop jazz composer left alive.

  • @JeffreyS821 That's exactly right, my man. Doesn't get the credit he deserves, 'cause he was always a low-key guy.

  • 's cauze Shorter's black, man. Black men get no respect in da States man...

    Seriously, though I don't understand why Kenny G is so much more liked. He's allright, but Shorter's way out of Kenny's league.

  • Kenny can't even tie Wayne shorter's boot strings. LOL Kenny G.....Please.

  • which one, Gorelick or Garrett?

  • When I say "all right", I mean tolerable. I wouldn't buy his CDs or anything. Wayne Shorter? YEAH MAN

  • ultimabass: Kenny G is more popular than Wayne Shorter because he plays a form of pop. He's in a league with Britney et al. The audience for genuine Jazz is much smaller--especially here in the States. And it's a sad thing. But in the long view of things, Wayne Shorter has something far more valuable than all of Kenny G's tremendous sales: R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

  • Definitely. Wayne Shorter has more respect from me than Kenny G. I won't say he sucks, but he is by no means anywhere near Shorter's level of playing.

  • @phatstevie2 you're right. he really got smothered by grover washington's popularity , i think.

  • redonkudonk

  • I love this tune!! Sir Pastorius is a GOd!! what else can I say about??

  • Better than a God :))

  • to push555push- thankyou, hon- our shared love of the music makes us all shine- now and maybe "after"?

  • our loss, the afterlifes gain-wherever they are you know it's kickin'!!!!

  • simply magical and timeless

  • badrena&acuna..kick azz....gotta love it

  • heavy song..for one of the heaviest bands during the "fusion era..seen em at the stanley theatre in pittsburgh,pa..1974....me thom "T" & "BIG INKY..

  • This is a perfect example of why Wayne Shorter is one of my all time favorite composers! The end vamp F'N KILLS!

  • My thoughts are the beginning is what kills, man... then at 0:29 is when Jaco really makes the song sound great!

  • Yes, sir!! The ending to this joint is so tight!! OMG!!!

  • great thanks for posting !!!
