I will speak to Bill and see if he will let me upload all the videos he has. I know for a fact there's a ton of unseen footage! I will try and sweet-talk him over a pint ;)

Do you have access to any more of this concert footage with the rest of the group? Puhlleez? Mahalo!

[darkphoenixmedia]

I will get in touch with Bill and see whether he wants any other footage digitised - I've seen literally stacks of tapes just waiting to be uploaded!

So, put this on an acoustic kit, and take away every melodic element, and it's still musical. That's why Bill Bruford is a god of a drummer.

Please find any videos of him and Patrick Moraz i.e. "Music For Piano And Drums"

and "Flags" there has to be some video footage from those days somewhere...

Thanks!

no offense to bruford but D.C.'s SDX playing was way more potent.
