Weather Report - Madagascar( live at Hammersmith O.) Part 1

Joe Zawinul - keyboards, Jaco Pastorius - bass, Wayne Shorter - saxophone, Peter Erskine - drums, Bobby Thomas Jr. - percussion. This version of Madagascar is probably the most intense and energetic you're ever going to hear( especially part 2), and the combination with great sound quality makes this a "must-listen" for any Weather Report-fans. This concert was performed at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, on November the 14th in 1980. Due to youtube's time-limit I had to divide the track into two parts.

To everyone: If the performance in this video seems abruptly cut off, it is because youtube still operated with a ten min. time limit for uploads when I posted this about ten months ago. Since this track exceeds that time limit I had to split it up in two separate vids. So if you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out part 2 which among other highlights contains a wild solo from Jaco. You can find it in my channel or simply by looking at the list of related vids on the right side of this page.

Thank you, so much for posting this. Do you have the complete recording of the show??

I'm dating myself here, but I attended this show as a teenager -- family lived in London. The energy and brilliance displayed that evening resonate with me today. It was a magical evening and experience that I'm ever grateful for...

Many thanks for the posting.

@Musicenthusiasm maybe the best piece I like from Pastorius, it's just like a dream, a musical dream
