@74choppzilla aw hon- all the other guys are going... darn.
-
well it was actually the other way around.Steve's Wife would not let him go on tour so got Lenny to replace him
-
Absolutely amazing.
-
I was 13 and jamming RTF! Go Youtube!!!! And for those who can"t do the math...brain cells fried too much weed.!!!!!
-
Gadd didn't want to give up being a studio musician for touring, so Lenny came on board and did a great job with them. At least that is the way I heard it.
-
Great stuff, just wish Bill Connors wasn't such a hermit these days!
-
If forced at gunpoint to name one song as my all-time favorite, this might be it. Maybe because I saw them perform it in concert, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
-
wow,from then to know.this is on the virtu album along with the violinist on the recording.they where as potent then as now!!
-
This information is true and accurate it was told to me by someone close Steve.
-
Steve Gadd had just come out of the army at this time and was looking for work, and conners was living in Hicksville,Long island.

I see Steve Gadd standing there but I never knew he played w/ RTF at all. When did Lenny come in- this goes way back. thanx

I rather think that at this time Lenny simply didn't have time so Corea found someone to replace him for a few shows.
