The drummer Michael Narada Walden went on to be a great music producer.One song i remember is "let me be your angel" by Stacy lattisaw, where e also played drums. This Band is Legendary, This is music when it is Set Free,not controlled by some money hungry fucks.

Is it just me or, does McLaughlin play the guitar riff from Layla at :54? Then you hear Ponty repeat it.

Oh, and it's kinda weird that every time they cut back to Gayle Moran, she's still singing, but you can't hear her. Sounds like her mic is turned off.

Glad to see Michael Walden playing drums for Jeff Beck these days. He was on fire back then and I'm glad to see him playing drums again instead of producing. He's too good of a drummer not to be playing drums. This piece is ON FIRE!

John McGlaughlin carries on in the tradition of Miles Davis. He finds these guys you never heard of who are so good at what they do.Michael Walden and Ralph Armstrong are a testament to that statement. To the dumbasses who insist on saying that Walden isn't Billy Cobham, wow did u figure that put on your own? Or did your mommy help you? Guess what? She forgot to tell you that Billy is no Michael Walden either..lol

@florafox You should check out the "Turn it over" album by Tony Williams Lifetime, it also features John and Jack but with Tony Williams on drums (which isn't a punishment to say the least)

Does sound like a bit of layla played there. He does seem to almost laugh as he does it. Guess it's one of those things people do. The sax player in my band likes to sneak in silly bits in to songs like fitting a bit of the benny hill theme into a ska track!

What the heck is she singing (shrilling) for???

@Kohntarkosz yes, John must be a CREAM fan. He once played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in the sixties. If you listen to the live version of "dream" (album "between nothingness....) during Jerry's solo you can hear him play the riff from "in the sunshine of your love" it is played there in 15/8 time ! I like that stuff very much, greetings, florafox !

@Kohntarkosz Its good hearing that John was a rock fan
