Loved Tom for many years But...As a drummer, Rick has the Big magic! One of the greatest pocket drummers ever! master jam here with the great ones... Salute...
So many giants! Rick Marotta, Carlos Vega, Jeff, Gadd, Vinnie, Damn! we were surrounded by the best! What an era to be inspired by....So glad I didn't miss these Killers..
Rick is chewing on this groove like cheap steak, and he turns it into fillet mignon, slowly and deliberately. What a tasteful player. Did you guys notice the humble first bar, to orient the band? Solid, and this is what happens when a player sets aside ego - but delivers the goods (in this case, old beef jerky deep in the pocket turned into tender and juicy). :)
@Brad Sure. He's just a monster that can do anything like Vinnie Collaiuta or Simon Phillips. I was thinking along the lines of a tight drummer that does funk. Clyde Stubblefield. Dennis Chambers could be in here. Omar Hakim too.
Actually Rick played that hihat figure on a old record before Gadd! Cant remember the tune but Stanton Moore did a drum lesson on it someone where on youtube
Yes I noticed it too. I kept hearing some kind of wailing and looked at all the other players to find that Rick was playing with his mouth open the whole time. It was likely him and then the end came. You can see him vocalize as he hits at or near the ending. Haha!
Marotta is a great player...but this was a joke. He didn't come close to the Gadd groove here. Do your homework before trying to play this song...make me appreciate SG all the more coming up with groove in '75
Sadly true from where I'm listening, and that's not all .. why are the keys so sleepy and sloppy here? It doesn't work. Dear old Richard Tee .. what a fantastic player .. greatly missed.
I think this version is better than the studio version with Gadd. Much more groove and played with a more funky style. The studio version is also played at a faster tempo...it makes the song sound rushed and too stiff. Rick Marotta improved the song.

Rick is just killing it in this groove!
Rick is an inspiration...a man who understands his instrument...
First heard of Tom Scott in 1977
Have never looked back
Such great musicianship
Deeeep pocket. The Marotta brothers are groove monsters.
I first saw him in Vail, Co in 1978 at Studio in the Rockies with my roommates, he was great.
Ricky Marotta sets the funk in place with Jimmy Johnson. Smooth.
Rick has always been one of my favorite drummers sence the early 70s , i was around 11 years old now im hitting 60 heehaw

Very well described, DT`s Digital Den! :-) Greetings from Cologne!
The only other drummer I can see doing this is Dave Garibaldi.

Brother, you are a genius. What a tasteful comment. Love it❤
Thank you Tom Scott. You were/are a huge influence on me and my playing.
Dear Lord!
Killer Rhythm Section
And To top it up
Mikey on Guitar 🎸
Sweet G-Sus!
Great band! Mike Landau on guitar! Rick marotta on drums! Jimmy Johnson on bass! Got this album! Great sax player! Funky!
Wonderful to see Tom Scott at work.
Larry Goldings on Keys...I believe!! Practically JT's band here...
mr landau is pure class...
A living legend my favourite from the 'Blow Out album released in 1977.
love jimmy's alembic bass
Love his playing. Alembic you have to love the sound!
WOW! Bad dudes, all. Thanks for posting!
リックマロッタの声をマイクがずっと拾ってて最高!
Oh god I freaking love this song!
We played this chart in my high school stage band back in '82. Brings back cool memories!
One of my favorite performances by far!!!!
Love that rhythm. Thank you, Rick!
Tom scott looks like a typical dad next door🤣
First time I’ve heard this live. It was track one on my first Tom Scott album, New York Connection.
Pocket city...to say the least...✊😷
What's ironic about this, compared to other events honouring drummers, is that it was Rick that influenced Steve...
Great to see you again!!
Tom still got it..
This is just amazing!
Ahhhhh!!! I still have to say Cooooool!!!!!!
LOVE IT TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Jimmy!
Again TOO COOL!!!!@
Tom Scott put Steely Dan on the map
Yes that's Larry Goldings on the keys!
I see steve smith sitting next to my guru, Freddie Gruber, there in the audience!!! hahahaha
A ver si nos vamos enterando chavales. Esta música se toca asi.
It's Rick of course ! :) He is quite famous for that.
Larry Goldings on Keyboards
When was this recorded? My guess would be around 1977 which is around the time I saw him in concert.
2009
Is it Larry Goldings on the keys?
リック・マロッタがドラムを叩きながらワーワー言ってる声がマイクに乗ってる
Anyone know what series Yamaha kit Marotta was playing?
+12groney Looks like a Maple custom. Could be birch.

THANK YOU
2:24 Whats tecnic ?
Rick is plenty funky here but he's having a hard time playing the hi-hat figure that Steve plays on the record.
he kills it though... not quite as smooth as Gadd, but with so much balls....
The drums are too loud
@@DrJ-hx7wv never…they sound amazing
Actually Rick played that hihat figure on a old record before Gadd! Cant remember the tune but Stanton Moore did a drum lesson on it someone where on youtube
Landau just rips.
Who's on keys?
Richard Ballard Tom McMorran
Rick Marotta, one of the greats but very out of practice here...
What is Rick mumbling, while playing?.... it's almost distracting....
Yes I noticed it too. I kept hearing some kind of wailing and looked at all the other players to find that Rick was playing with his mouth open the whole time. It was likely him and then the end came. You can see him vocalize as he hits at or near the ending. Haha!
Part of Zildjian's tribute to Steve Gadd. And Steve Gadd plays this song much better than Rick Marotta.
Whatever man. Marotta kicks ass on this. Haters gonna hate.
In what way? Please offer whatever empirical or subjective evidence extant that backs your assertion.
Don't be an asshole. WTF? Ford vs Chevy crap. You sound like a child.

@@pbaker7160 Steve Gadd is Steve Gadd. I much prefer to play with a drummer who's in the heat of battle. Gadd is really a jazz drummer.

sounds like a musicians institute jam in their 101 room near the entrance
bland crisp and scaley
