First time I saw Larry at a small club, he hit on my date! The last time I saw him, shortly before he left us, I teased him about it. We talked guitars... He was playing with Victor Bailey, who was also very nice.
Wow! The very first fusion show I saw was opened by Larry and the 11th House and their Level One record had just come out. They were incredible and i became a Huge fan of Larry Coryell and Alphonse that night. So sad they are no longer with us, but we have all the wonderful music they made to enjoy forever!
one of the greatest periods of music history. besides all the classic rock, you haf fusion. Mahavishnu, RTF, Weda Report and the 11th House. phenomenal.
Eleventh House, Mahavishnu, Tony Willians Lifetime, Passport, Jean Luc Ponty, Colosseum Second.... All representatives of the late jazz rock ... from the early 70's to about the middle of those years, then the fusion began to dominate everything and also ruin a lot.
Yes, I agree and forgot to also mention the Return To Forever as a quartet had wonderful moments of pure and creative jazz rock. I remembered now the UK of Bill Bruford, Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth in many jazz rock moments, Soft Machine also, the German Krann and also many progressive bands that used elements of jazz rock like Focus, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Dixie Dregs mentioned by you, among others. I know it's bullshit these labels but I've always seen very different characteristics in jazz rock, particularly in the compositions .. the english jazz rock shows this very clearly ... very rich and elaborate, the vigor of the drummers, the language itself of this style. The fusion with exceptions, of course, I see very rooted in a more pop, clean and pseudo sophisticated side. It did not absorb, for example, the powerful groove of funk music and gives me the impression of being located many times in the fusion with other rhythms that I don't like so much, not to mention that I don't think the compositions so impactantes ... in fact I see much improvisation and little relevant composition ... except Chick Corea who is always good at everything he does. It's just my vision, please don't take it as a truth that I want to impose.
They were the real deal top notch musicians and a period when the fusion thing was in full bloom with others mentioned in this chat earlier Larry could definitely rip it with the best of them this is a special treat to a great album
I appreciate the share very much. Thank you! Yesss...this is a sonic boom that fills you up! The musicianship displayed is not egotistical....it is pushing limits and deep communication.
we saw them at My Father's Place inOld Rosslyn, NY. A Bunch of us sang What's it all about, Alphie. the band cracked up and Alphonse looked pissed. Coryell quoted it in one of his solos.😂
Oh Yess.... Now This a True Live Jem of Larry and 11th House... Absolute Awesomeness.... Thank You for Sharing and Uploading This Treasure.. And R.I.P. to All My Most Amazing Musical Big Brothers We've Lost 💖💖
Liking this already from the opening. Just checking this out, I already had it as a like. This is the first time I'm sitting down to listen. Page and Coryell were friends weren't they, at least that's what I heard. Certainly Plant was impressed with Mouzon as a drummer.
Amazing how the drummer Mouzon adds his drum fills perfectly for each change of song arrangement. Bill Bruford from Yes and Carl Palmer from ELP were also good at that.
l saw the 11th house at the Shaboo Inn in CT in winter '75. l was seated, oh, 10 feet from Alphonse. Unbelievably dynamic, incredible drummer. l was entranced! Decades later l heard that John Bonham was playing AM albums at high volume in a L.A. hotel around this time and told to turn his stereo down.
Wow, just stumbled on this and it's awesome! Any chance you could make a FLAC version of this available somehow? I have a friend with a quadraphonic decoder who'd like to have a go at decoding this. For anyone into quad, this broadcast was Sansui QS matrix encoded so you should be able to get some 4-channel effect with a compatible decoder.
Looks like they took him out back and killed him. "This account has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted."
@@flotationisgroovy BUT I think that if you run that recording through one of the 4 channel decoder boxes that were available, it would decode your tape. Not 100% sure about that, and good luck finding the little black box...

Utter Bliss Larry and Alphonse sadly missed

A great and rather underrated band. Right up there at the top of the creative 70s fusion bands: Mahavishnu, Weather Report, RTF.
agreed. Their 1st album is on my list of my 26 favorite albums.
Eleventh House, Mahavishnu, Tony Willians Lifetime, Passport, Jean Luc Ponty, Colosseum Second.... All
representatives of the late jazz rock ... from the early 70's to about the middle of those years, then the fusion began to dominate everything and also ruin a lot.
Don't forget The Dixie Dregs, who stayed great until '82. Seems to me there's 1-3 others that were great in the late '70s too, but not coming to mind.

I was going to mention Bruford, if u didn't Also McLaughlin's Mahavishnu. If u haven't heard Adventures in Radioland, u really should..

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS !!!!! Brings back memories with my old cassette player. Larry Flies !!!!!
hat must be Alphonse Mouzon on drums.
Alphonse Mouzon is a funkier version of Billy Cobham and absolutely swings harder!
Solid jazz.
Liking this already from the opening. Just checking this out, I already had it as a like. This is the first time I'm sitting down to listen. Page and Coryell were friends weren't they, at least that's what I heard. Certainly Plant was impressed with Mouzon as a drummer.
Brings on many happy memories. I saw this tour with one difference, Gerry Brown was the drummer that night and he kicked some booty!
Track 3 is "Dierdre" from the Level One LP.... #4 is "Some Greasy Stuff" (ibid).... & I think #8 is "Scotland 1" from Offering
Amazing how the drummer Mouzon adds his drum fills perfectly for each change of song arrangement. Bill Bruford from Yes and Carl Palmer from ELP were also good at that.
@Jay great and an amazing band
I know. I saw them several times at THE VILLAGE GATE and MY FATHER'S PLACE in Long Island.
l saw the 11th house at the Shaboo Inn in CT in winter '75. l was seated, oh, 10 feet from Alphonse. Unbelievably dynamic, incredible drummer. l was entranced! Decades later l heard that John Bonham was playing AM albums at high volume in a L.A. hotel around this time and told to turn his stereo down.
l also heard that a youthful Larry Coryell challenged Jimi Hendrix to some kind of guitar playing shootout.
John Lee and Alphonse Mouzon are divine.
still love your music!!
Track 1 is called Cover Girl. It's from a later issue of the debut that had 3 bonus tracks.
OK, thanks.
What a gem of a recording!
Thanks for posting. It's been a long time since I heard any of this! I read Larry's book long ago. I'll have to re-read it.
Song #13 is a track titled SUITE: ENTRANCE/REPOSE/EXIT which is on the LEVEL ONE album.
Thanks! The list has been updated!
This show is pretty amazing!
Great quality thank you! Anybody know the name of track 4?
I believe it's "Some Greasy Stuff", from Level One
WQIV... The Quadfather!
cut 4 is called funky waltz. its from the first album
Excellent !!!
Excelente!
@jose talented band

It all seems such a long time ago now. I don't think this style of music has improved much over that time.
Anyone know the name of the third tune? At 12:32 in? Beautiful tune.
It's called Diedra. It's on the Level One album.
Also track four is "Some Greasy Stuff", again from the Level One album (1975).
and track 8 sounds like a reworking of "Scotland 1", from Offering
@@georgelamie7001 Thank you.
This is great! Do you know what happened to +master Eddie?
Looks like they took him out back and killed him. "This account has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted."
In the words of the soul classic, "Get it while you can".
totally fucked.... you drop some awesome stuff.....but dayum!.....master eddie was non stop non stopping! like 10 a day...!.....
Where can I get actual downloads?....etree?
he recently posted Al di MIEOLA and Larry Coryell line in Tokyo 1986.....i need that show in my life forever! +ringo zingg help me!...lol
WQIV was a quad station and this was broadcast in quad. Was your source tape quadraphonic too?
Unfortunately, all I had was a Sony reel-to-reel and a standard receiver.
I believe if it was a quad encoded broadcast, and you run that tape through the appropriate quad decoder it should decode the signal...

@@flotationisgroovy It sounds fantastic in stereo ! Thank you for sharing this
