trumpet: Miles Davis sax & flute: David Liebman guitar: Pete Cosey guitar: Reggie Lucas bass: Michael Henderson drums: Al Foster percussion: James Mtume
This is perfect party music, specially On the Corner and Bitches Brew ... You put on this music and people start turning crazy or get totally excited or leave (those are the ones you had to invite but you want them to leave) ... Certain people suddenly come alive and loose their inhibitions, other start smoking one Joint after the other ... It always stirs up the atmosphere
Amazing! I never saw this band before but I have been playing the Miles Davis albums they are on for years! The electric period is the most amazing Miles Davis music without a doubt. It's only now people are starting to get up with it!
well: Miles bands 1969-1975 has been my favourit music for more than 40 years. Nothing compares to it - and nothing is close to raplace it (but I am a big gan of Hiromi and her Trio Project).
I though his 80's music was pretty fine too, once he blew off the cobwebs. I saw the band with both Mike Stern and John Scofield - in Austin Texas, well know as a guitar capital. They sure knew where they were! Because of chance, and my age, I kinda went backwards and sideways in listening exposures, in that I heard Mahavishnu first, then Bitches Brew, then backed up to Coltrane. Even though I understand that people are SUPPOSED to, and surely allowed to have preferences and favorites, there was still a great deal of asinine prejudice about "electric Miles." One telltale sign you are about to have a gob of wisdom bestowed upon you by a ignorant doofus is when a critic groups the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever and Weather Report all together! It's hard to imagine how three electric groups could sound LESS like each other. I guess it's a lot easier when you know what you think they're going to sound like before you even hear them... in fact when I did work my way around to my favorite Coltrane period, 1961 to 1964, my first thought was how much he and McLaughlin would've loved playing together, sure woulda torn some holes in the fabric of the universe. Might've been TOO much, actually.
German TV played this on christmas afternoon in 1973. After some experimental computer movies from Munich. This was completely different time. Had seen him in London in July. This is Berlin in November.
Thank you. That was fantastic. Such a rarity to see footage of this quality from this era of Miles. Great version of a classic track as well. Would love to see more but am grateful for this.
E' difficile non riconoscere a Davis un ruolo di innovatore e genio musicale. Dotato di uno stile inconfondibile e un'incomparabile gamma espressiva, per quasi trent'anni Miles Davis è stato una figura chiave del jazz e della musica popolare del XX secolo in generale.
I remember those Yamaha amps from when I saw the Davis band a few times at Paul’s Mall in Boston. Of course there must have been a sponsorship deal between the parties. I’m fairly certain that those guitar amplifiers were transistor and not tube. You couldn’t overdrive them like a tube amp, which worked out fine for Reggie Lucas who played rhythm guitar. Cosey got all the distortion he wanted by using devices and boxes.
Dave liebman flute playing interesting but when he gets on the soprano sax that's when it takes off, in a big way,l saw dave liebman play with John Scofield in a small club in wash. D C.1976s and it changed my life,liebman played insane soloes while John played chord structures as the rhythm section and then took great solos, folks this is the 70s in Washington d.c.
definitelyhave overlooked him as one of miles best guitarists (tho he didn't play with a huge number of them) this almost reminds me of Foley (miles' piccolo bassist) who was in his last bands at te end of Miles career.

@@charleswinokoor6023 It was no accident that Agharta was recorded in Osaka, close to the Yamaha factory. That was the first live recording that was really good, that and Made In Japan. Miles played a Yamaha organ but not with much skill. I think it was mostly a promotion. Mtume sometimes used a drum machine, maybe another promotion.
@@Frisbieinstein Oh yeah, I do remember that Yamaha organ. Miles liked to lean on it for dramatic and sonic effect. He did a lot of the same thing on the “Get Up With It” album. You could call it an acid-funk black version of Jerry Lee Lewis.
+R Ra Don't recognize it, maybe from a fledgling brand of the time. I saw Cosey with Miles live around this same time, and he was playing a Les Paul body with a Strat neck. For real. And it was tuned to open E without a third, ie all Es and Bs. I drove Miles to the gig because he arrived separate from the rest of the band.
my one complaint to all jazz musicians (or most) is that none of them actually had a flute player...they just had a sax player who "kinda" played flute...not even close to the same!
Hey, What's the matter here to be white or black or any color... ignorance is a matter of color of skin... ? in what century do you live ? You're really funny, thanks ;-)

@@stubhead as duke said, 'there are 2 kinds of music: good music and the other kind...'
For Music Lover's😉
Inspired the grateful dead considerably if you look at their progression during the same era
6:45 Miles is really digging Pete Cosey's shit.
Please don't ever delete this. I listen to it every day.
What would the world be without this?
Nothing

Luckily I get to see Dave preform in two weeks at the COTA Festival in the Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. Can't wait!
Dave is killing it. Damn.
Thank you. That was fantastic. Such a rarity to see footage of this quality from this era of Miles. Great version of a classic track as well. Would love to see more but am grateful for this.

Perché piace tanto?
Purché è una banda di fuoriclasse capeggiati da un genio: Miles Davis.
STRAORDINARIO!
Al Foster...
It was underrated in it's day thus not documented.
underrated in its day ?? lol err OK! cool
Trumpet wah-wah?
Yeah, played it like a guitar!
Yup! The wah wah trumpet was the Miles Davis sound from 1970-1975!
Miles Davis is unsurpassed and unparalleled. Miles lives. 😎
@@albertmiller3082 you’re damn right!

60年先を生てたのね。
Still Berlin.
I remember those Yamaha banners. Once I saw Mike with a Yamaha bass. I bet Miles made him do it.
