@timages I humiliated you publicly by showing you know nothing, don't recall any e mails grampa !

[timages]

@MrSluggo666 ...you're angry and stupid...no more e mails pops

[MrSluggo666]

@timages Lets see " Heavy weather" not only featuring but co produced by Pastorious, received a 5 star review from Downbeat ( you seem to have ignored this) and to quote Wikipedia is probably their best critically evaluated album, you just don't get it sport ,too bad we can't go back to the time when you could get a good 5 cent cigar pops !

@MrSluggo666 like I said believe what you want, this album got just one star from Downbeat magazine, the lowest ever given to a WR album...enough said.

...in fact the only thing worth listening on it is Wayne's haunting piece, "The Elders"

[MrSluggo666]

@timages so you don't think Weather Report wanted to move in another direction and sell out stadiums instead of halls ? bullshit! Pastorious wanted to move on what do you think Miles did with his music upon hiring Marcus Miller ? do you think "TuTu " is the same kind of music as " Kind of blue" or Miles Smiles" ? wake up ! oh and I hate to break it to you but Mr Shorter (who is every bit as good as you say btw) has passed!

@deepseabattles Believe what you want, he killed that band and the great sound it had in the early 70s with his huge ego and lust for money. He forced everyone out, and what did he do after Weather Report? Zero. Wayne Shorter's Quartet is making the best Jazz music today. In fact Zawinul himself said Wayne was the greatest musician he ever played with, greater then Miles.

This track is hardly the music they were making in the beginning...please. It's more like World disco.

@timages Joe was the one with the vision. He made Weather Report.
