This video was in the late 80's in the performance room at MI probably during student orientation week. piano Carl Schroeder, Bob Magnuson Bass, Joe Porcaro drums.

They are ( were) teachers at MI. Carl is still at MI, I think Joe is still there too.

Joe and Ralph Humphries started the drum school. Carl is one of the best teachers MI has had, has a new album out and used to play with Sarah Vaughn.

Howard Roberts live on stage this is what i was looking for years who ever made this video thank you for your generosity for us to see the master in action.

@cliffworks4321 It's too bad, he may have spent too much time playing other people's sessions. You should ask Carol Kaye about it...she talks about him a lot, and is very accessible via facebook.

@plectroman it's been a while since I sought out the DR videos and I believe you but at least there is footage of him. The conspiracy theory is just a joke that Ron Benson began in our many writings. Considering that HR had a huge impact on the guitar kingdom teaching untold numbers at GIT, via his Guitar Player Magazine column and years of live appearances does is it not strange that nothing remains compared to footage of Ted Greene, Lenny Breau, Kenny Poole and others?

@cliffworks4321 With all due respect, my friend i have seen all those videos many times and the only one where D.R. is playing live is the one that starts in the theater dressing room and ends with the HCQ playing onstage. All the other videos available have dubbed in sound from a secondary source. Re: H.R. videos...a conspiracy? Wow that's really sinister!

[cliffworks4321]

@plectroman they are on you tube, there are a few up these days, check them out, the first I saw was 20+ years ago DR playing on a train which was touted as the only existing footage but others have now surfaced, and that was ages before videos, portable recorders and such, so where are the HR tapes,

the tapes his many students must have recorded? the seminars, the years of live gigs in LA?

It's a conspiracy I tell ya. Even his great friend Ron Benson who madede Benson amps for HR hasn't clue.

@cliffworks4321 Too bad there's not more video of H.R., but if you know more than the only one live video of Django, you need to tell the rest of the world about it.

[cliffworks4321]

why is there more live video footage of Django who lived before video was invented than of HR? Ditto for Wes, more of Wes than HR, something is wrong but no one's talking.
