Tribal Tech is one of the greatest jazz bands ever. I hope one day people realize how special these guys are. I am a fusion jazz fanatic and they are among the best.
I had the pleasure of playing bass with Scott ...in his very younger days(TEEN)We had a band called Pulse...with Harry Johnson and David Hineline...Don't know if he would remember...but i'm glad i was able to fill in on his learning adventure...i knew he would make it..i am so proud of him...and am glad to have been part of his life!YOU GO SCOTT!Love you music and sound.....Far out and groovy as we spoke in those days!
I can't believe that no-one's remarked on the similarities to the Joe Zawinul Syndicate, and this album, so I remarked, myself. Good shit, bruv !!! 😋🇬🇧👍
Listening to this music ignites a fire in my soul. It's consuming, actually. Just sitting down & becoming emotionally involved is eventually exhausting in the most cathartic way. I can't help but wonder how these performers survive the physical & emotional expression, but I'm so very glad they do! Geniuses I say!
honest words... have been listening to the vital tech tones version mostly. it is more direcct. feeling like i have missed out on the tribal tech in its own right.... same effect: it takes you to some other plane. wouldnt agree on the consuming part tho. if i listen to the VTT album i feel like bursting with energy after : D good!
Remember buying the Spears Album a couple of years before. Heard him for the first time playing on Chick Corea's Electrick City album and just had to buy Spears.
Before the first Tribal Tech record, I'd heard Scott Henderson's playing for the first time on Jeff Berlin's "Champion" album. Instantly hooked. "Spears" introduced me to Gary Willis, still one of my favorites 25+years later. What a great, great, band.
Agree with you about Scott's playing but I must add that the first album from this band are really amazing something a wider audience still has to discover.
Theres hardly any DVD footage available to buy of Scott or Tribal Tech. Its about time a compilation DVD was released Hey Hey!!! or Hee Hee!!! Top Player and composer
this is amazing! just stumbled upon this now! Never heard of this band Tribal Tech 1990? Where they around in the 90s or earlier? Any album recommendations for a first time listener? Already love this
@PamperedTongue The best thing about Tribal Tech 1990 is the very next year after this video came out the band totally changed and became Tribal Tech 1991.
No one has ever, nor can, play the blues like Scott Henderson. Amazing guitarist!! But I was sad when he left the Chick Corea Electric Band in 1986 or thereabouts. He is not a great composer and his work with Chick is exceptional... Check out Silver Temple here on UA-cam, magnificent. Also, as a result of leaving prematurely, he didn't become as big a name as he would have otherwise. But, each to his own destiny, Scott is the biggest tdwr! Downbeat, original phrase, talent deserving wider recognition! One of the best!!
Scott's soloing & tone are amazing here. I like his older style of playing so much more. When he was more fluid & Holdsworth like, than his present raw Beck style bluesy playing. Having said this, Scott is still amazing when ever he picks up a guitar. My top 3 Fusion players forever!!!
any hardcore tribal tech fans, wanna suggest an album by these guys, lookin to pay a visit to the record store and request an order, what do you people think is their greatest album?
The classic bad editing/cameraman disease: Henderson starts tearing it up and the camera is on his amazing soloing prowess…er no, lets get a close up on Dutz fiddling with his bongoes.
These guys are something far out. SRV & Eric Johnson meets Weather Report and Return to Forever in the best way possible. Did I see the guitar player using Peavy in his collection of collections?
thats cool. Im sure he would remember your band you had with him. music is tough to make a living at. like scott here has played with Chick etc etc ,,, ummm so what sre you doing then if your not playing for a livin? McDonalds?, Mechanic?, attorney? cop? Politicia,,,, no forget that one Politicians to EARN money they just steal it from us for themselves. lol... Im just messin with you. No it's very cool you jammed with him,, THAT is impressive.
Man he really playes his socks off himself here...Having that said I think that it's so great that he's developed his playing through the years. Makes him so much more interesting. Take Mike Stern for ex, who has stayed with the same sound and style for 30+ years.. It's great but pretty old & boring after 30 + years.
Hey look, no Kinsey or Covington and Tribal Tech still sounded great and powerful. Was Willis even there playing on this because he wasn't even being shown on this video. Hard to even see or tell he is there. LOL. The absolute Greatest fusion band of all time and they don't make records anymore because one band member (Gary Willis) moved to Barcelona and lives there now. Stupid they haven't moved on and got another bass player. Tribal Tech had other band members in the past before Covington and Kinsey. Robertino Pagliari could have EASILY replaced WIllis a long time ago and Tribal Tech still could have been making records and playing. Why Henderson doesn't want to make more great music with Tribal Tech I don't get it. His Trio is SUBSTANDARD improv boring crap musically in comparison and Henderson probably knows this. So wtf? The Led Zeppelin of fusion music and fans get a new album every 10 years? LOL. Sounds like Tom Scholz and how he wasted time with making Boston albums LOL. It's a shame. Most artists and guitar players know how to play ALL their past tunes. It's no wonder why Henderson forgets how to play his old tunes. He lets 10 years go by. I asked him (years ago back in the day at LaVee Lee gigs) why they never play music from their "Spears, Dr. Hee, and Nomad" albums, and he told me, "We forgot how to play those tunes." What? LOL.
Tribal Tech is one of the greatest jazz bands ever. I hope one day people realize how special these guys are. I am a fusion jazz fanatic and they are among the best.
Absolutely. Playing wise, definitely, but even compositionally, in my opinion.
Fact check: Correct.
I agree. He is the best fusion guiter player and composer!
I had the pleasure of playing bass with Scott ...in his very younger days(TEEN)We had a band called Pulse...with Harry Johnson and David Hineline...Don't know if he would remember...but i'm glad i was able to fill in on his learning adventure...i knew he would make it..i am so proud of him...and am glad to have been part of his life!YOU GO SCOTT!Love you music and sound.....Far out and groovy as we spoke in those days!
The DR. Hee 1990 album was a complete masterpiece. And Nomad was as well.
Yes, absolutely, he started playing 'outside' more and became a musician's guitarist...
What a HUGE guitar sound.
Happy 60th birhday to Scott Henderson and congratulations for more than 30 years of recordings!!
I can't believe that no-one's remarked on the similarities to the Joe Zawinul Syndicate, and this album, so I remarked, myself. Good shit, bruv !!! 😋🇬🇧👍
Great to see Steve Houghton on drums in this video! Such a great guy. He ran the Big Band classes at M.I. in the 80's and beyond.
holy crap ! Love to see a lead sheet on this .The chord progression is fascinating
Everything Scott Henderson plays is a masterpiece
Perfect. I remenber everything. Tribal Tech rules all the 90's. Amazing band.
Listening to this music ignites a fire in my soul. It's consuming, actually. Just sitting down & becoming emotionally involved is eventually exhausting in the most cathartic way. I can't help but wonder how these performers survive the physical & emotional expression, but I'm so very glad they do! Geniuses I say!

Steve Houghton !! 🥁
Always on my mind, forever in my heart,
my greatest of so many great teachers !!!
😊❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO EVER OF TRIBAL TECH !!! I Like this period !! great mix between jazz and fusion !!
I remember buying a vinyl copy of Dr. Hee at the House Of Guitars in Rochester, NY circa 1987.
That's some very witty, absurd and off the wall humor! You should be a comedian, and I'm not being sarcastic. Comedy gold
Remember buying the Spears Album a couple of years before. Heard him for the first time playing on Chick Corea's Electrick City album and just had to buy Spears.
best music of the planet
Loved this LP!! Just what the doctor ordered! 😉
One of my favs, I so loved TT when they were writing long form tunes like this
I just love Scott's playing so unique. And incredible tone..
Before the first Tribal Tech record, I'd heard Scott Henderson's playing for the first time on Jeff Berlin's "Champion" album. Instantly hooked. "Spears" introduced me to Gary Willis, still one of my favorites 25+years later. What a great, great, band.
Oh this is great footage, thanks for posting. What a band!
Arguably Scott's best TT solo ever. Definitely my absolute favorite at the moment.
One of the best bands ever.
Agree with you about Scott's playing but I must add that the first album from this band are really amazing something a wider audience still has to discover.
Masterwork Record
Theres hardly any DVD footage available to buy of Scott or Tribal Tech. Its about time a compilation DVD was released Hey Hey!!! or Hee Hee!!! Top Player and composer
Fantastic
Scott is one of the best ever.
awsome technic and beautiful song!
i heard his first album with tribal tech in my teenage, definitely impressed by his songwriting technic and plays.
really cool video. this was my first tribal tech cd, and this live performance is a jem to find. thanks for posting!
Thank you very much Scott!!This is a treasure!
Amazing!!!!
Great Scott and Tribal Tech!!!
Many thx Scott ! you're great !
Absolutely wonderful playing by all! Wow!!!
Amazing!!!

What a treat it's been to find these new/old videos posted. Thanks for putting them up, Scott, and best wishes for the new album--I'm there.
Fusion of the highest level !!!
absolutely phenomenal my friend
Impeccable.
Scott!! amazing licks:=)
Incredible
i love this tune ! worked a lot on it ;)
Never get enough of watching this. Now having said that, TT's new release 'X' is absolutely fantastic - a must have for any Fusion fan.
I got to play bass with Steve Houghton one time in college. It was a great experience and what I nice guy!!
MUY BUENO EL VIDEO CON MUSICOS DE PRIMERA ELITTE Y UN BAJISTA COMO GARY WILLIS QUE ES GENIAL
. ...extra....merci...:)...
Great to see and hear Goldblatt BURN as well
Dr. David Goldblatt... Do your thing, sir...
And Scott said, let there be Dr.Hee; and there was Dr.Hee. And Scott saw Dr.Hee, that it was good; And Scott divided the light from the darkness...
FODA! AMO!
Dave is kickin serious ass!
i've seen (and heard) a bunch of his playing. i've never seen him crush like this tho. he is ON here! Ah-mazing playing...
Excelente
greatest guitar tone ever!!!
It is fantastic.
I just met gary willis and steve houghton yesterday at the tribal tech gig . I told steve houghton he looks like Mr T
Goldblatt on them keys!
this is amazing! just stumbled upon this now! Never heard of this band Tribal Tech 1990? Where they around in the 90s or earlier?
Any album recommendations for a first time listener? Already love this
Back when Scott used Peavey amps, an Ibanez guitar and his awesome musical mind!
Would have been a Mesa Boogie Quad or Studio preamp through a Boogie power amp at this time.
Goldy on keys!!!!
Super
@PamperedTongue The best thing about Tribal Tech 1990 is the very next year after this video came out the band totally changed and became Tribal Tech 1991.
You know you've 'been around' youtube when you run into your old post on a different name from a year ago.
No one has ever, nor can, play the blues like Scott Henderson. Amazing guitarist!! But I was sad when he left the Chick Corea Electric Band in 1986 or thereabouts. He is not a great composer and his work with Chick is exceptional... Check out Silver Temple here on UA-cam, magnificent.

Downbeat, original phrase, talent deserving wider recognition! One of the best!!
I sorta Kinda agree with your Post, but hey Scott is evolving who knows what can come from this Guitar Master!
Scott's soloing & tone are amazing here. I like his older style of playing so much more. When he was more fluid & Holdsworth like, than his present raw Beck style bluesy playing. Having said this, Scott is still amazing when ever he picks up a guitar. My top 3 Fusion players forever!!!
jeeez that's a killer guitar tone
and a murder solo of course =D
Hey, he's playing with the "sharp" part of the pick. He never does that anymore.
Sometimes I think it literally is a different person because his style of playing has change so much he also looks very different lol
What a tone!!! Which planet is Scott Henderson from?
3:57 aprox Just incredible
holly shit scott your solo just wow man it is way to much too handle
Is this from a larger concert video?
That guitar howl at 5:11
!! Lol!
Dave Goldblatt has so much soul as well as the other TT menbers, but this particular solo hi just rips it off!!
any hardcore tribal tech fans, wanna suggest an album by these guys,
lookin to pay a visit to the record store and request an order, what do you people think is their greatest album?
meua migo
Amazing but… not one shot of Gary Willis? So sad lol
Dave Goldblatt's Solo is amazing,starting of slow but once he locks down it starts to smoke...with a lot of Hancock in that...
i'm agree with you... fusion is original and unique (alone) and inimitable but there is a lot of hancock in that!!!!!
E STRING IS A LITTLE BIT DETUNED? IS THAT NOT KIRK?
6:00 the storm is coming!!!
Hey ledzeplin154, i went to IUP
me voy a ver a Henderson en el ateneo, quiero escuchar esos fraseos mas de cerca, quiero inspirarme .. . chau mundo ordinario
Nuff said…
The classic bad editing/cameraman disease: Henderson starts tearing it up and the camera is on his amazing soloing prowess…er no, lets get a close up on Dutz fiddling with his bongoes.
lol. What I was thinking to. Obviously not a guitar freak like us!
👽👾🤖🤘🏼
random, but where did you go to college? haha
He holds his pick in an interesting way...reminds me of Frank Zappa's picking technique.
These guys are something far out. SRV & Eric Johnson meets Weather Report and Return to Forever in the best way possible. Did I see the guitar player using Peavy in his collection of collections?
the other 2 beeing Alan Holdsworth & Shawn Lane,i suppose
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Jazz Fusio の最強レベルはこれだ!!!
The guy on Vibes looks like he just got done chopping wood with John Scofield ...lol 1989
i appreciate the skills and in no way am dissing this but as a grow older i find this stuff a bit cold
That main melody is quite amazing though...
4:27
thats cool. Im sure he would remember your band you had with him. music is tough to make a living at. like scott here has played with Chick etc etc ,,, ummm so what sre you doing then if your not playing for a livin? McDonalds?, Mechanic?, attorney? cop? Politicia,,,, no forget that one Politicians to EARN money they just steal it from us for themselves. lol... Im just messin with you. No it's very cool you jammed with him,, THAT is impressive.
Doesn't look like Gary Willis on bass here!
dalhe penta
Man he really playes his socks off himself here...Having that said I think that it's so great
that he's developed his playing through the years. Makes him so much more interesting. Take Mike Stern for ex, who has stayed with the same sound and style for 30+ years.. It's great but pretty old & boring after 30 + years.
Gary is very quiet ...
Hey look, no Kinsey or Covington and Tribal Tech still sounded great and powerful. Was Willis even there playing on this because he wasn't even being shown on this video. Hard to even see or tell he is there. LOL.
The absolute Greatest fusion band of all time and they don't make records anymore because one band member (Gary Willis) moved to Barcelona and lives there now.

He may very well
Be a different person.. it is show business
