Saw Billy Cobham back in 1975, believe he was playing with John McLaughlin and the mahavishnu orchestra. It was in a tiny bar in Denver colorado, and I couldn't have been sitting further than 5 ft away from the front of his drum set. I got blasted. Billy is a monster! Only wish I could do a fraction of what he can.😊
@@bazonics Hahaha...you could be right. That was almost 50 years ago, and my memory is not what it used to be, that's for sure. Well, whatever year it was, he was playing in a very small venue, probably about 300 people, and it was a bar. And yes, it was 100% definitely Billy Cobham, I do remember that! I came to Colorado in the fall of 1974, and I dated a girl for 2 years, from 74 to 76, and I remember for sure that she was the one who attended the show with me. So I guess that means, if you are correct about when he was with Mahavishnu, that he was playing with another band.
@@bazonics Just did some research that said he recorded an album called Spectrum, in 1973, and I believe he also named the band Spectrum. Band members were keyboardist Jan Hammer, guitarist Tommy Bolin, and electric bassist Lee Sklar. So maybe that's who I saw him with, I don't know. Billy is still alive, at 80 years old, so maybe I should contact him directly to see what he could tell me. But at 80 years old, I'm guessing his memory is not much better than mine.😆😆😆
My favorite kind of music is actually the Gospel of Jesus Christ I'm ran into this and nevertheless this man is extremely extremely extremely talented!!!!!! I nevertheless consistently and always acknowledge great talent
@@garywilliams6670 well of course it's my opinion unless you have designed a truly objective way to test drumming technique and musicality. You have your opinion and I have my better informed opinion. LOL

@@JeffC-fq1be I think it was called Ebbits Field, but I'm not sure if it's still there anymore. I live in Greeley now.

Billy left Mahavishnu in 1973 and they certainly played big concert halls and stadiums not small bars, so you've got your wires crossed somewhere.
