謹んでご冥福をお祈りいたします。

This is really good. Thanks. I don’t recall hearing Darren Barrett even though I’m from Canada. And now I know how Jackie Mc Lean pronounces his name.

Golden age of Japanese Capitalism.

👍👍👍👍💯💥❤

WOW that solo by Kikuchi

It is almost impossible to find video recordings of Himiko, what a pity though... Also I would like to see the drummer performing on the songs, maybe one day there will be more to explore.

I would pay good money for this entire concert, wherever and whenever it was.

Realy amazing !! 🤩

Vim pela dica do Ed Motta ! 🇧🇷

i cant believe i found this video that is so obscure. I love Himiko Kikuchi’s albums its incredible to actually see her perform a song

Mlk muito foda isso aqui, pqp.

awesome!

Now everyone wants this aesthetic lol.

2:03 the best part si ini

Wow, I was in Japan from ‘84 to ‘86 and I missed this band. I have some catching up to do. That is some tasty jazz. Love it so far.

¡¡¡Que belleza!!! ¡La mejor música que puede haber!

¡¡Lo mejor de lo mejor!!

💛🥀🍀😃

❤️😀

にほんじんの らちん★☆♪♪♪～だいすきよ。。。

リーダーのソロが荒々しいな。理性よりも何かを優先している。

I've heard a lot of saxophonists in my time but none of them can ever compare to Ernie Watts. His style is instantly recognisable. I remember him on James Last's album "Seduction".

이게 잘하는건지 모르겠다

Powerful vocals!

Drummer-Mark johnson was ex-member of Steve Coleman & Five Elements.

ernie watts , ? so young and thin then ??

The music is of the highest quality. Thank you for posting it.

Amazing to find this! Thanks so much. Do you have any other tracks from this show? I was looking for Make up in The Morning, Cosmic Dust Blue and Higher Levels. Thanks

Ｎｉｃｅ，　ｎｉｃｅ，　ｎｉｃｅ，　ｖｅｒｙ　ｎｉｃｅ　案加たづく

さいこうな~卑弥呼様～★♪♪♪~~~ノリノリね

Excellent!

Unbelievable

Por Dios casi lloro

Genio

Ernie Watts is just awesome on the Sax! Love Himiko though, she's a genius, all her albums were amazing :-)

It's a very very rare pearl.

great... thanks dude..

Jun Yamamoto さま　コメントありがとうございます。　実は私も、はじめはハバード目当てでコレを録画したのでしたが、がっかりしたことを記憶しています。復帰後の演奏でも良いものもあるようですが、どうしてでしょう。その分逆に、マクリーンの堂々とした揺ぎなさが引き立っていて、彼に注目していくきっかけになりました。

この年のハバードは観てらんないなあ・・・

masahikoさま、コメント有り難うございます。 返信が遅くなりまして、たいへん申し訳ございません。 最近のカシオペアの演奏はほとんど聞いていないのですが、 このころはまだ、シンセサイザーがデジタルに切り替わる前で、 温かみのある、分厚い音色が良かったと思います。当時はこの曲を聴きながら、 都会の夜景を夢想しておりました。

バンドとして勢いがあって素晴しい演奏ですね。新鮮な息吹が伝わってくるようです。
