Weather Report Live at Montreaux in 1976?
post Johnson-Thompson Black Market era line-up featuring a fresh faced Jaco Pastorious: "Oh yes, by the way, my name is John Francis Pastorius III and I'm the greatest bass player in the world." 'And I don't want to say this thing, but I said', "Get the fuck out of here." Joe Zawinul.

Who is the drummer ?

[digimaton]

Alex Acuña

[222Lightning]

This is the song you need if you got ten minutes to get out of the door. Two cups of coffee....a shower....find wallet and keys from yesterday..feed the fish....throw the cat out (and I do mean throw) the door. Make sure there is no drug paraphanelia visiable before closing the door (just in case !!!) and and bread and peanut butter in a bag with a knife for my lunch!!! 9:57 out the door.

Wayne Shorter, Alex Acuna, Manolos Badrena, Joe Zawinul and Jaco Pastorius...yeah, it doesn't get much better than that...

@talkingwall I think Zawinul is doubling the line on synth, isn't he? Shorter does seem to fuss a lot with his sax throughout the video.

@redmonicus You insane? That's Alex Acuna, and he and Manolo Badrena are arguably the best rhythm section Weather Report has ever had! Just check out their compatibility in their solo part in Montreux, which was later cut and made into the album version of Rumba Mama (from Black Market or Heavy Weather, can't remember at the moment). HA! Fool...?

Jaco is playing the shit outta that bass.....

[talkingwall]

@Kemenesfalvi that was because the medium (33 1/3 RMP Lps) only allowed about 40 minutes of music. Musicians get paid by the piece for publishing so it's economics; shorter pieces or starve. This bands music was never about the recordings, the recordings are there as little signposts to what they were doing live.

[talkingwall]

@jbdfc you are out of your mind. Wayne is a devout Buddhist and was before Weather Report even formed back in 1970

[talkingwall]

@Viimane the drummers are Alex Acuna and Marleno Badrena

[talkingwall]

Great recording and video but there's one point where Wayne's soprano is playing but the horn is clearly outside of Wayne's mouth.... what's up with that?

[Viimane]

@Lillars There are 2 of them....But I don't know either
