A special thanks to 3sat for graciously allowing this video to exist here.
Billy Cobham is an animal on them drums
Always wore those football jerseys so you know, you know
"The Greatest Band that Ever Was". Period.
Jerry Goodman was incredible
I saw them and billy had a quiver on full of drumsticks when he went solo drumsticks were flying then to the quiver!! I miss music
Astonishing playing by BIlly Cobham. He absolutely kills it!
Love how Billy Cobham almost looks as though he is dancing sitting down on the faster sections
Feeling it with his whole body, I love it
God bless Mahavishvu
This musick effects me ever so on the deepest most natural level.
8:52 drum stick flip FOR EMPHASIS on that note. Watching at half speed to marvel at Billy's technique. ✌
This was the Snarky Puppy of my day. Thank you for posting this awesome unbelievable flashback. People dont realize Billy and Jan are killing it with primitive drums/hardware and electronics. Peace from Detroit MI.
Even as a musician, it can take 3 months of serious listening to start to get it!!!!
Meraviglia..tutti fantastici,io poi amo Billy Cobham !!!
Billy is the king
Soft Machine's John Marshall is no less cool and masterful.
this is so amazing ❤️🔥👏❤️🔥👏❤️🔥👏
Saw Hendrix in 68 , zappa I can’t count high! Mahavishnu was the tightest band bar none
Everything else aside the most interesting, intimidating, inventive drummer I have had the privilege of seeing perform. And there still is the rest of the band. I really wonder if and when this type of fusion will ever cycle around again. Not gonna hold my breath. Ah the stick flip.
Jag träffade Mr .Cobham i Örebro nån gång (1975?) Det var konsert på club 700......Jag tog kort på honom och en kompis som var med mig på konserten. Han blundade för blixten....😀
The greatest of the great fusion bands of the 1970's. The level of musicianship, improvisation and communication between the players is stunning and breathtaking.
My introduction to jazz-fusion. Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever.
Saw the last incarnation in SF a few years back. Jimmy Herring opened. Love or hate MVO, you have to agree these guys are not just great musicians, they are like top professional sports team.
I saw them in Akron O in 73' with Yes. Brilliant
I got to see them opening for Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. I think they alternated on who opened the show. I believe Frank had returned to calling his group The Mothers at that point. He had George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty, Ian Underwood, Ruth Underwood, and I forget who else. That's still probably the best concert I've ever been to.
MOST SPIRITUAL OF MUSICK & most empathic of players. Just look at how they ALL watch, listen & non verbally communicate. Their choices this nite were ⚡🔥💯
Man... Jan Hammer & Jerry Goodman played some aggressive solos in You Know You Know.
Finally! This wonderful music and video uploaded in high quality!!! Thank You, Thank You for persevering.
Only 16k views??? This is magic. Magic!!!
Billy!
Jerry G. was fabsolutely fantastic!
brilliant!
Oh my God(Frank Zappa),Cobham is just --- i dont know what to say .Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!
Watch from 8:37 to see an epic zoom in to a double stick flip
Drum minutiae I know but it looks like Cobham's Fibes kit has Slingerland tom mounts. I bought a Fibes kit in 1975 and hated the tom mounts as I always tightened the two bolts into the plate that held the ball and stripped the threads. I had to keep a lot of spare plates on hand. I had the Slingerland mount on a Gretsch kit and thought it was pretty decent.
Celestial.......
wow
Thanks for this!
Late ‘72 was a good period for the band (although I don’t know for certain if this was the latter part of that year).
Come to think of it, if they were playing “Inner Mounting Flame” as opposed to “Birds of Fire” then it more likely was the first half or middle of 1972.
Great video quality BTW.
It’s funny, but I always preferred Hammer soloing on Fender Rhodes as opposed to Moog synth).
And dig the white slacks and blue fiddle!
These recordings come from the first concert of the Mahavishnu Orchestra's European Tour in 1972. They performed it at the "Deutsches Museum Kongresshalle" in München (Munich), Germany on August 17th, 1972. They continued the concert playing "The Dance Of Maya", "One Word", "The Noonward Race" and "A Lotus On Irish Stream". The last gig was on September 2nd, at Crystal Palace Bowl in London England, before they returned to the States, where they played their next gig on September 8th in Durham, North Carolina.
Thats Badd!
Billy Cobham ...FREAK !!
I'm laughing seeing Cobham doing lightening fast double tapping decades before metal bands claimed to invent it.
I love prog & have had to try to get into these guys. I still revisit their material to see of my attitude has changed with them. Talented players all. Playing what, to my ears, amounts to sterile music. Heck, ELP & King Crimson exhibited humor sometimes and had a warmth to them by comparison. (maybe those bands tried not to fall into that trap; something I'd never really considered before... )Not here at all to knock them, because their playing is unquestionable. They just lack soul, to my ears.
never compare, it's pointless.
Well, to jump from prog rock to jazz is natural sstep, but it takss time to settle, you just dont get it yet. Dont mean no disrespect, its just the way it is, i had similar expierience with some jazz, you just need to develop taste and understanding
MOST SPIRITUAL OF MUSICK & most empathic of players. Just look at how they ALL watch, listen & non verbally communicate.
You obviously don't know you know.
I would politely and respectfully have to disagree and I was weaned on prog.
