The group performs a medley of Seventh Arrow and Umbrellas(nevermind the "Waterfall" title on the screen) at some point during their 1971 summer tour of Europe. The lineup is Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Miroslav Vitous, Alphonse Mouzon and Dom Um Romao. I realize that versions of this clip already exist on youtube, but the details regarding year and title are wrong and some of the musicians' names have even been misspelled. With this upload, I'm trying to minimize the factual errors and just get it right.

@carlosbjones If you like this I recommend you get the DVD Weather Report Live in Germany 1971 (released since I posted this video). It's the full show and contains some (to me, at least) surprises!

Credit is incorrect: Wayne Shorter played TS and SS, but on this cut is playing soprano sax to open then after the medley switches to tenor, than back to soprano at the end again. (They list TS and AS, and Wayne never played AS.)

@BODYtheBand That's TV credits for ya!

original lineup featured airto.

[middlebit]

Airto was credited on the first album and was formally associated with the group because of the press kit, which featured a crude cut-paste composite of the lineup. He performed overdubs on the first album, playing over tracks already laid down by Barbara Burton and Don Alias. However, Airto was not a member of the working group. I hope that clears it up.

Miroslav outjaco-ed Jaco before Jaco was even on this scene. Humility goes a long way in many arenas of life- including life itself. Successful musicians who start believing their own hyperbolic press are soon doomed. Jaco, Hendrix, Joplin, Buckley.....

Wow, weather report is electric! It was amazing on the number of instruments the band members were using during this piece. And the percussionist was using wood-sole sandles. Whatever works, man, it sounded too cool!
