John did a solid walking bass while being able to add his own harmonic and melodic mix to it and to be able to solo and return to the walking bass doing the same thing he did when the song started without any fatigue is a level of mastery no human will ever be able to know
That section where Chick and Weckl are trading 8s is sublime. I had the pleasure of meeting Chick once, back in '93. I told him he was my L. Ron Hubbard. Graciously, he laughed.
No joke - I like their fashion: Chick Corea looks like janitor, Patitucci and Henderson like on Caribbean holiday and the drummer like a math teacher from 80's. They do not care about "theater" or "acting like stars". And the result? One of the best gig I have seen on video. True professionals. Greetings from Slovakia.
in my opinion, scotts solo might've been one of the greatest fusion solos of all time. he absolutely owned every chord that was given to him, and those chord changes weren't easy. He just rolled through them like they were nothing.
i just have to reply chick corea and scott henderson just a great contrast the first chick corea album with scott henderson on some of the songs . my favorites . just a shame that they could not have played together more.
henderson's solo is just so immense. the little references back to the melody ground the whole thing so well and the interactions with weckl and patitucci are so dynamic. amazing stuff.
Chick plays that synth with phenomenal dexterity, it is unreal. Sometimes it looks like the instrument is alive in conversation and making those extraordinary atmospheric sounds all by itself, truly remarkable.
This contains SO MUCH CHOPS...trees are scared! Seriously..the CCEB were,are and always will be one of the greatest fusion bands in history...UNBELIEVABLE music.
Scott, the best... don´t like Gambale, musically, that much.. I mean, technically, one of the best I´ve seen! but like more Henderson´s ideas and playing
Technically Frank Gambale is an amazing guitarist but when it comes to combined technique and musicality ya gotta give it to Scott Henderson! He’s my favorite with the Elektric Band, and he’s great with his fusion group Tribal Tech!
One of the finest & one of THE best live sounds. Have seen him many times with many great Musicians. Also - finally got to see Chick Corea not long before his passing in Seattle with the symphony.
ALL OF THEM! That's the Elektric Band thang, everyone is fucking insanely good, band is always tight, especially whenever they played live. And yes, Patitucci on his own is still a monster player. Scott Henderson, he's the best guitarist most people have never heard of. it is 2022, and Scott has been your guitar teacher's teacher favourite guitarist for DECADES. And yes, he KILLS IT playing jazz, playing blues, pretty sure if a classic rock band hires him, he'll do justice and and even take the band further into the realm of performance awesomeness. Mo'fucka came from the same planet as Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Gambale, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, Pat Metheny... Maybe just a different country from the same exoplanet in a different galaxy.
@@morbidmanmusic That's the sort of league they belong to. Holdsworth had been shredding before shredding was even a thing. When shredding was a thing, Scott was already running circles around everybody who ever dares to play the guitar. Love for both of 'em, they are so good, they are school subjects for musicians who really want to study.
Music of the stratosphere. It's no wonder that the greatest musicians and jazz composers were more appreciated outside the US. RIP Chick, the world is darker without you.
WOW, they where so young! I have never seen such an early tape with the electric band before, even though I have always really idolized them. This must have been intresting years for those guys, they where just about to conquer the contemporary jazz scene for the next 10 years to come, and I guess they knew it.
I love that so many of us are still listening to this incredible music in 2020.. This is one of my favorite CCEB performances of all time.. with Scott Henderson.. I love Frank G. as well.. Patitucci is just devastating.. and a joy to watch and listen to here.. but this lineup just kills!! Maybe its the tension between Scott and Chick?
The tone of the Ken Smith/Jackson 6 string bass that Patittucci played during this iteration of the CCEB was simply awesome. No two Ken Smiths ever sound exactly alike. Of course, the player himself had a lot to do with the creation that sound also...LOL!
Dave Weckl - seen him a few times over the years. One of THE finest drummers you will ever hear. You can be sitting mere feet in front of him while he cooks on something like this, yet it can be a whisper. No need whatsoever to beat them skins. I have played with only a couple of drummers that were able to do that
Chick's rhythm sensibility and 'twilight zone' phrasing is scarily breathtaking. What an amazing piece; and I truly love Henderson for his Jagged-edged melodic approach: ALL THE WRONG NOTES PLAYED RIGHT! My favourite ever jazz-fusion band!
@@GerardoMcCabe Errrr.....no. The guitarist of the first "electrified" version of RTF in the 70s was Bill Connors, before Al. Scott was the original Electric Band guitarist, if that's what you mean, before Gambale.
Jazz is really a musician music and thats it !!! its boring for normal people and its noodling for noodling sake !!!! And it as the most snobs and elitist assholes (probably heroin addicts) in the music industry !!! I only listen to it to practice scales because for phrasing and songwriting is crap !
Love this Masterpiece!! Chick, your body is no longer here but your awesome music is still very much with us!! Thanks for having existed in this world Mr. Corea
Thank you Chick, for a lifetime of inspiration for me at the piano. You would never know and never had to, but your simple existence on this planet profoundly made me the player I am today.
Bestias absolutas guiadas por uno de los Gigantes músicos que hemos perdido. Increíble lo que tocaban, la composición, los solos. Todo absolutamente brillante.
Mozart would have been very inspired, that's for sure! By the way, I'm from Berne and was there in '86 - dang, what a concert!!! I remember, this was just after my master at the Swiss Jazz School and I was deeply impressed - kind of stoned by so much geniousity ! The day after, I bought me a 6 String Ken Smith Bass - just because of John... I still own this amazing Instrument ;-). Was fun to find this vid on youtube... My gosh, these guys where light years ahead at that time!
Aprox between 1-4 times for year since 2012, I came to watch this video, just for Remember Screech playing his guitar, and write a comment about him ...
I have all the love in the world for the classic Elektric Band lineup but this early incarnation featuring Corea, Weckl, Patitucci and Henderson absolutely rocks. Everyone is on top musical form delivering a legendary masterclass of unbelievable musicanship. What a treat to hear one of the the band's most legendary pieces get a full workout and holy smokes, Patitucci is killing it on the bass as are all of the guys. Great performance 👏 RIP Chick Corea, thank you for all the years of excellent music
One of my favorite Elektric Band tunes ever. This tune got my time together really well, (just by listening). And it gave me my first real understanding of jazz improvisation.
The great master, my hero is gone and I am heart broken. I had hoped Chick would've lived forever or at least survived me, but alas, this was not to be. Chick, you were absolutely one-of-a-kind. A great pianist/keyboardist, easily grouped with the greatest composers that ever walked the planet. Farewell and Rest in Peace maestro. I can only pray that I may be worthy of meeting you and listening to you play again on the other side...
THE ELEKTRIC BAND needs to get all their studio albums re-released with extra tracks....and some BRAND NEW LIVE albums out.... make this talent available again....
RIP CHICK COREA ONE OF THE BEST PIANIST/KEYBOARDISTS OF ALL TIME
What? He passed away?
When ?
Wow. So sad.
The Best
RIP...😭
Big ups to Patitucci for reminding me to practice an extra hour today.
LOL - yes!...and playing a 6 string before they were well known.
Yeah those other guys don't practice at all. 😏
@@HazeAnderson Not bass.
for real though
An extra 23 hours a day..
John clearly owned this whole song. He's throwing out intricate and melodic unrelenting walking bass for 15 minutes like he's humming a tune.
And he's 26 here. And he just got the first 6 string a year before this. Fuck.
John Coctostan I think they're all MUTANTS!!!! No humans could be this incredible!! :)
@@j.p.lindsay6768 they are trans
I'd say that he owned walking bass under coreaish progressions
Downright SCAREY!!
This bass solo is one of the best solos on the eletric bass history.
Berlin yawns
@@Rodwill18 Jeff Berlin? Tell me one, available here on CZcams.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 yep Jeff Berlin , look up vid of him & jaco
@@Rodwill18 He said ONE of the best, not the best itself.
your point?
what in the world did i just watch. that band chemistry is unmatched
John did a solid walking bass while being able to add his own harmonic and melodic mix to it and to be able to solo and return to the walking bass doing the same thing he did when the song started without any fatigue is a level of mastery no human will ever be able to know
This year has just begun and has already taken away excellent musicians. Chick Cores R.I.P. and keep entertaining your fans and band mate
HE'S HERE FOR ALL WHO HE TOUCHED 4 EVER.
That section where Chick and Weckl are trading 8s is sublime. I had the pleasure of meeting Chick once, back in '93. I told him he was my L. Ron Hubbard. Graciously, he laughed.
John Pattitucci was already a monster bass player, and he's still so young here.
Mark Daniels it’s almost inhuman man. And to think how he was owning the upright at the same time... I mean dam

@@edubatera72 THanks, I was like "the dummer? That's dave freacking weckl"
From now on I will wear my t-shirts tucked in
This clothing was "hip" back then. Their albums even include thanks to Armani for the clothing!
@@darenbvvsazorg Really? It means I'm wrong, does it? :(
Got a match? THAT'S a good one! They don't need one..these guys are on FIRE!
Screech is just killing it on guitar
Pity they didn't have a camera on him to see what he was doing. Major #DirectorFail

"After reaching the highest level of Bass, young Roger Federer went on to pursuit glory in sports"
😂
Close lol.
Massive props to the engineer here, they aren’t getting the credit they deserve
RIP Chick! You changed the rules of the game and made everyone want to play it more. A true legend who now returns to forever!
Amen, to that!
I love Scott's solo!
RIP Chick. An absolute legend.
Damn Chick Corea and his habit of always hiring non humans for his Elektric Orchestra!!
RL R I completely, and sincerely agree!
What’d you expect.. he’s non human himself. StaySafe ✌️
Chick plays that synth with phenomenal dexterity, it is unreal. Sometimes it looks like the instrument is alive in conversation and making those extraordinary atmospheric sounds all by itself, truly remarkable.
Chick Corea passed away.. but his music will never die ! Lots of much thnx for all priceless stuff you left us... play in peace Master !!
This contains SO MUCH CHOPS...trees are scared! Seriously..the CCEB were,are and always will be one of the greatest fusion bands in history...UNBELIEVABLE music.

TODAY WORLD CRIES UR LOSS CHICK... THANKS FOR ENLIGHTENING ALL OF OUR HEARTS. ALWAYS INSPIRING MUSICIANS AROUND THE WORLD.
The greatest has now Returned to Forever. God Bless Chick Corea and his legacy to the world of music. Forever missed ♥
R.I.P Chick Corea. An inpiration for all of us. A music GENIOUS!
I refuse to let Death take me until I'm able to play this on bass at this speed
UPDATE: I've just about got it down at half speed
immortality then?
@@nomnom112 lol I guess so
Well..... it’s your funeral.
LOL thank you for that
Scott Henderson = The Hard Blues Jazz Rock Fusion Master, and my favorite Elektric Band Guitarist.
Same here!!!!!

Probably one of the best fusion guitarists around now that Holdsworth has gone.
Scott Henderson tells great interesting stories! Gambale does not .
One of the finest & one of THE best live sounds. Have seen him many times with many great Musicians.
Also - finally got to see Chick Corea not long before his passing in Seattle with the symphony.
RIP Chick. I saw the Electric Band in 1987, The Chance Poughkeepsie NY. Probably the best show I ever saw at that venue. It’s a sad day today 😢
Henderson bought a very different musical flavor to the band!
He was #BRILLIANT!
Thanks for all the music chick!!!
WwwwooowwWW.....the unbelievable level of excellence of all four of those guys !!!
Those were the days.........
ALL OF THEM! That's the Elektric Band thang, everyone is fucking insanely good, band is always tight, especially whenever they played live. And yes, Patitucci on his own is still a monster player.

nothing early Holdsworth hadn't already done... But Scott is also one of those untouchables.

Chick Correa = A Legend’s Legend
I play this song every time I swipe right on Tinder.
This amount of talent and musicianship is insurmountable. RIP Chick.
This way favorite lineup!!!!!! All electric with Scott Henderson tearing it up along with everyone else!!!!
RIP Chick. You cannot be replaced, but you will never be forgotten. Amazing.
Music of the stratosphere. It's no wonder that the greatest musicians and jazz composers were more appreciated outside the US. RIP Chick, the world is darker without you.
RIP Chick !!! Thanks for your geniality
Everyone knows about Chick, but that bass player is something else!
dude thats Patitucci... everyone knows about him too!
Yeah, lol. Everybody knows who's Patitucci.
As expected- he's a living legend
Patitucci my dood. One of the greatest electric player out there, up there with Jaco
John is a nice guy. Went to a clinic of his. He was very down to earth and gave a great class.
What a monster group.
RIP Chick. Thanks a million for the priceless gift you left us. 🎹❤️
Chick Corea
Then
Now
FOREVER!!!! THANK YOU MAESTRO
Adios maestro de maestros. RIP
Que descanse en paz. Debe andar tocando en algún lugar del Universo.
Man they all looked like kids then... killing it too! All of them have taken it up several notches since then. Just amazing!
Dude Patituccis basslines are insane, worth transcribing what he's doing when just walking that bass
rip master! u will never ever be forgotten!
WOW, they where so young! I have never seen such an early tape with the electric band before, even though I have always really idolized them. This must have been intresting years for those guys, they where just about to conquer the contemporary jazz scene for the next 10 years to come, and I guess they knew it.

I close
My eyes and listen to this music and it feels like if I was playing
And very hard level of Super Nintendo s game CONTRA and super Contra.
bahahahaha!!!! good one!!!
Amazing !!
Well if you heard stage 3 to Contra 3 Alien Wars you might consider that one the most. It's theme has the similar progression.
Especially at 13:30.
Man, those changes are going a million miles an hour
Jimmy Landa 300bpm to be precise
Seems faster than the record even
Woah Henderson just went beast mode on his solo. Crazy!

I believe I've listened to this piece 30+ times, never gets old, all do very tight and stretched out beyond beyond.

RIP Mr. Corea
Thanks for all the great and the infinite legacy and inspiration of your music!
Never gets old. Genius can be enjoyed forever.
Unbelievable freedom of expression, top quality playing and true improvisation skills by top quality band.
Scott Henderson def has his own style...Super staccato indeed..Wekyl and Chambers my 2 fave drummers
Armando, You'll be sorely missed.
RIP King
