  • Keep in mind that this clip is very early in Chick's synth days. Has anyone seen the videos of RTF4? Awesome, with Frank Gambale and Jean Luc Ponty. Can't wait until tour dates are announced......

  • Keep in mind that this was very early in Chick's synth days...

  • Bill only stayed with the band a short time, I think only about a year.

  • No, unfortunately this is the only one I found from this show. I saw Bill Connors after RTF and he was a very shy type of performer.

    he would turn his back to the audience and when he faced us his eyes were shut much of the time. He is a great player in every respect.

  • Starting at 3:18....man, I love Lenny White's drumming. Pocket as all getout!

  • @KenLane I saw RTF in June of '09 and even though Lenny played a kit that was completely different from the Slingerlands of old, the sound was identical, like hearing the original album. He chilled out , wasn't doing the animal riffs from the '70's, but nonetheless sounded as only Lenny can. Phenomenal!

  • some kind of groove on that one...what a set of tones

  • @jimmied01

    Saw the 1st show of the new RTF IV tour "Hymn 7th Galaxy" at the Calvin Theater in Northampton MA. last week and the performance was OUTSTANDING! - Mix of old and new RTF tunes plus... My 24 year old son went with me and he was very impressed with the skill level of the band members and the music. Go to a show if you can when they come back to the states. You will not be disappointed. Too bad Bill didn't make the tour.

  • Man, Bill's and Chick's interplay rules on this one.

  • Man, Chick really did some of the coolest sounding stuff I've ever heard on the synthesizer- and this is coming from someone who is not really the biggest fan of the synthesizer in the first place.

  • Love the polyester track suits!

  • championship play

  • chick always puts di meola to shame when they trade licks, but i think conners kicks some serious ass here. he more than keeps up. his lines are almost tighter than chick's.

  • @titusbeertsen arp odyssey not a moog :)
