Alphonso is flaming on that bass. Whoo. Came here because I am a big Cobham fan, but all the members of the band are incredibly outstanding. One of my favorite recordings!!!!
First time I saw Billy was The Birds of Fire tour. Mahavishnu orchestra. Then I had seen him with his Spectrum 40 band. With Gerry Brown, Gary Husband and Rick Fierabracci. I saw George a couple times with Frank Zappa. Also saw Alphonso with Carlos.
Darrylizer1 I used to play lefty and cross for my ride, but about 10 years ago I decided to learn to be ambidextrous... it was HARD, and I'm still not 100%, but DAMN is it worth it =3
ΛUTOMATIC JΛCK I'm trying myself and for simple beats I can do it. Get something more complicated than a four on the floor rock or funk beat and I'm toast, haha.
Darrylizer1 every drummer has some ambidextrous ability.. there's 4-way coordination to consider as well. Billy plays a technique called "open-handed".
One of the greatest concert on youtube, and probably the best "Jazz/Rock Band" EVER!!!!! 1:48 DUDE, 8:17 ECSTASY, 18:03 THE KING, 31:56 OMG, 51:12 FUSION....so many unbelievable moments from this "1h19's JOURNEY" George is a genius of course, Billy one of the best drummer of all time, and the 25years old John Scofield at his best, AMAZING!!!

@ 23:54 - Alphonso Johnson - one of the first musicians to introduce the Chapman Stick to the public. So cool to see this early...and then Tony Levin slaying in King Crimson years later!
everyone tells me there is still great music being produced out there, and it's not that i disagree, it's just when i stumble across "the greats," there's just no comparison. Thank you for sharing Mr. 8
I agree.. Fortunately there are still great great new bands that somewhat purposely slip through the cracks of mainstream music that are exactly what you mean. I might suggest a few artists you may or may not have listened to that are incredible musicians creating similar funk Jams both new and old style music... A few that come to mind are Phish, widespread panic, TAUK, lettuce, lotus, bonobo.. A mixture of genres that remind me of this. Cheers! Check out my channel for ever growing playlists of choice songs from various genres and bands 🙃
There was an aspect of this i had an inlking of listening to because i liked experimental and energetic musicians, but i never embraced it.But later in retrospect after retracing the steps of a lot of my old music & becoming jaded from my nostalgia, this is truly fresh for me.thnx!
@@The7vision That's right. They were so young yet so mature in their playing and outlook, going in new directions all the time. There was room for exploration then.
I'm a guitar player, but a strange coincidence of events led to me recently getting string of gigs on drums. I still enjoy listening to my Billy Cobham records, plus those by several other artists he's recorded & toured with. My extended internet search brought me here. I was looking to learn some drumming skills in a hurry. Billy has said that he'd experienced astral projection onstage while on tour in Europe. he said he'd find himself above & in front of the stage, watching himself play. He said that he'd witness himself playing things that were normally too difficult & demanding for him to execute. That may or may not be what astral projection is, but I had a similar experience just one time and it kinda freaked me out. I was the new guy in an established band, and about 15 minutes into my first-ever set with them, I suddenly felt weak, dizzy, and about to pass out. I was loaded up on weed, just like every other minute of my musical life, but I was sober and trying hard to be as professional as I could be. Anyway, I didn't get any feeling that I actually exited my physical body, but I didn't seem to have any control over what I was doing. I had to prop myself against a wall to assure myself I wouldn't topple over, and I was struggling hard to try to remain conscious. I could not even grasp what song it was that we were playing, and I was totally lost. I totally had no idea what the hell was even going on. I recall that I looked at a spot on the fretboard, thinking, "That note might be okay, if I can play that one." That's how out-of-it I was. Well, in spite of me worrying that I was fucking about to die or something & there'd be a big fiasco of a scene with EMT's, I couldn't believe that, somehow, I was actually killing it on the guitar, like never before in my life. Shit was happening with my fingers that was way beyond my skill level. I had absolutely no control, my hands might as well have been some player's hands on a TV screen. What my hands were playing was noticeably getting a very-favorable response from the band and the audience. I don't know if this next part was better or worse or what, but the next thing I knew, the band members had sort of moved a little off to the side and here I was, in the middle of a guitar solo. I didn't even know it was supposed to be my solo. I was somehow vaguely aware that the crowd was paying attention, and rarest of all, I got a round of applause at the end of the solo. I couldn't have told anyone a single note or riff that I'd played, it seemingly all played itself while I merely observed with extreme bewilderment. Hell, I remember I couldn't even guess what the next chord was gonna be. The feeling was a lot like if I was looking down on a busy street from a balcony or something, with no control over the motions of my hands a mile below. Except, again, I felt as if I was seeing normally with my eyes from in my head, and not from up above the room or anything like that. But at the end of whatever song it was, I peeled off some unbelievable lick, and the crowd cheered again. They went nuts on me as soon as the song was over, and in a minute or so, everything going on in my head was back to normal. I don't expect anyone to believe this, but I swear, it actually happened. I'll probably never get to find out what it was. Well, it wasn't long after it happened that I got tired of telling people about it. I wrote it all down shortly afterward and sort of moved on with my life. But then a year ago, I happened to read what Billy Cobham said, and now I want to see if there's anything about this that I might learn. I'm in my 60's and I've had some freaky nerve issues here & there. I'm thinking it might be that I just had something go temporarily awry in my brain. I don't take any talk of the supernatural seriously. Anyone who has anything to suggest, for a website or a study will be much appreciated. Also, I already took more than my fair share of ridicule & flak for even telling my closest friends about this, so any trolls can save their smartass remarks for their mom's funeral. Thanks for reading this.
I can’t believe they were doin this shit back then. This sound, the way of playing. The way BILLY PLAYS… don’t even get me started. They were revolutionary at their instruments
OMG ! this band was way up there with the greatest jazz fusion ensembles ever (Return to Forever, Mahavishnu, Weather Report) .... B.C. at his peak, after the extensive touring and recording with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and his early solo projects, Duke fresh from several albums and tours with Zappa (how much can you learn?) John still had hair and just burst into the fusion scene and blew everybody's mind ! Alphonso had just been with Weather Report for a short period before Jaco Pastorius joined them (W.R.) ..... but just listen to the music and everybody's playing ... TOO MUCH !
magnifique voyage jazz psychédélique musique du monde cela fait du bien george duke😍😍🤩🤩 le meilleurs et les autres musicien billy🤩 alphonso 🤩john 🤩the great's...
I was listen to this legends in The age of 10 years old and this still inspire me to play drums and mix music. The sound is so good and now still 43 years later its better than The most of livemixes today.
Saw Billy Cobham George Duke Band on probably same tour. Took a Young Lady really liked she was polite but didn't think she cared for much. Great Band Cobham Duke Scofield Johnson. Saw Billy in 77 With Jeff Beck Jan Hammer Alphonso Johnson really blew it out of the water
oggi ho ascoltato una cosa che mai avrei creduto di ascoltare, conosco il mondo delle percussioni e chiedo perdono che lui il genio non lo avevo mai ascoltato una cosa indescrivibile. Mai avrei pensato che un essere umano arrivasse a questi livelli, lui non è un essere umano è un extraterrestre!!
i am beyond words with gratitude that music and concert events such as these have been appreciated enough to be preserved like this. future beings will certainly marvel at all this ingenuity.a true golden age of the musical imagination.
Holy Cow!!! I forgotten this some >30 years ago. What an amazing coincidence to see this now. They sure don't make music like this anymore. Amazing....
Wow, what a great concert. I have the album with all of these songs live, but never had the fortune to see this particular group live. Now I have, I did have the fortune to George & Stanley Clarke live as well as Billy Cobham's group live. We'll never see the likes of these magnificent musicians again. No lip syncing, no over dubbing, no unplugged guitars, these guys were the real mccoys.
This show should be put on to DVD.... If not for anything else it should be done simply as a tribute to George Duke... This show is outstanding... Billy Cobham - Drums/George Duke - Keyboards, Vocals/John Scofield - Guitar/Alphonso Johnson - Bass what an amazing line-up....
ogrebattle22763 blu-ray* please :D ...not that they could really "upscale" the footage, but I think there would be something they could do if they had all the original footage.
I remember seeing this album with the cut off heads of Duke and Cobham as a young lad,it freaked me out but as mum had just bought Spectrum,I was fascinated by it but mum didn’t buy the record,now listeningvto the material,I wish I grew up with this album as well. Duke is legendary on those keys,his work with Zappa is technical yet so musical and tasteful. Schofield and Johnson just brilliant also,I live for 70s music,I think the most creative and groundbreaking decade of music ever. Even the hifi stores were cosmic back then with hifi gear stacked high,with cosmic metres and lights with huge tower speakers housed in carved wood cabinets,the 70s were out there and I love that decade for it.
Crazy 8s Drums, thanks for the share 😀I bought this album on vinyl used for $2.99 in 1989 in Boston. This is a real treat for it has tunes that aren't on the album 😁. The Cover of the record is classic with Cobham an Dukes head's each on A walking ✋? trippy shit. Look at the stage!? you can tell these guys are having a Ball! what a band this is! Alphonso Johnson,John Scofield,COBHAM and Duke(R.I.P) All great band leaders.
As super cool and accomplished as they are, I cannot help but find their grimaces, whilst finding that perfect note, rather amusing and at times, funny!
Thank you so much for sharing this concert, great to see Billy Cobham and the late George Duke together! Great bass playing and, for my personal taste, Mr. Scofield has no doubts about where to place himself, just the right balance between Jazz musicianship and the power of Rock.
Love it love it, volume is to low turn it up please!. The people that are picked to play an to record are great. It must be a fantastic feeling to have the best of every thing people, instruments ,songs vocals, the right place an time. And then it happens. WOW!!!
I had a set of the Yellow North Drums myself they really were amazing they would draw attention in the clubs Like Mr Cobham Boomer the Godfather of Fusion Drummers
Alphonso is flaming on that bass. Whoo. Came here because I am a big Cobham fan, but all the members of the band are incredibly outstanding. One of my favorite recordings!!!!
Love what Alphonso played with Eddie Henderson. Exploitation...wow
First time I saw Billy was The Birds of Fire tour. Mahavishnu orchestra. Then I had seen him with his Spectrum 40 band. With Gerry Brown, Gary Husband and Rick Fierabracci. I saw George a couple times with Frank Zappa. Also saw Alphonso with Carlos.
Billy is a league of his own, changed the drumming world. Love how confident he is and his soft touch
Billy is Simon Phillips idol and has the same drum setting as Billy had in 1976.
Billy Cobham is amazing. His ambidextrous playing freaks me the hell out.
Darrylizer1 I used to play lefty and cross for my ride, but about 10 years ago I decided to learn to be ambidextrous... it was HARD, and I'm still not 100%, but DAMN is it worth it =3
ΛUTOMATIC JΛCK I'm trying myself and for simple beats I can do it. Get something more complicated than a four on the floor rock or funk beat and I'm toast, haha.
Darrylizer1 every drummer has some ambidextrous ability.. there's 4-way coordination to consider as well. Billy plays a technique called "open-handed".
Janitor989 Yes, I can play simple stuff with either hand, but nothing as complex as what Billy can do.
Then practice.
This is the HIPPEST music I have ever listened to!
Billy is always amazing! George Duke is a treasure we have lost too soon.
One of the greatest concert on youtube, and probably the best "Jazz/Rock Band" EVER!!!!!
1:48 DUDE, 8:17 ECSTASY, 18:03 THE KING, 31:56 OMG, 51:12 FUSION....so many unbelievable moments from this "1h19's JOURNEY"
George is a genius of course, Billy one of the best drummer of all time, and the 25years old John Scofield at his best, AMAZING!!!
The exact year I discovered BC as a young drummer at 15, giant influence. Still can't get enough!
cobham' s drum set is the sickest i have seen
O,douke,smiail,tou,mpili,compxam,they,are,hapi,for,that,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Malcolm Yekhtikian I think it’s because musicians were pioneers,revolutionised music forms,now it’s just going over old ground.
There was an aspect of this i had an inlking of listening to because i liked experimental and energetic musicians, but i never embraced it.But later in retrospect after retracing the steps of a lot of my old music & becoming jaded from my nostalgia, this is truly fresh for me.thnx!
Because they were adventurous pioniers

Astral projection kills trolls dead!!
One of the greatest: George Duke, incredible inspiration, his soloing is so thought driven and tasty, fantastic, especially during his solo part
ALPHONSO JOHNSON is so underrated......i wish the folks at Eagle Rock would release this on DVD
aj is bad as hell....i mean bad as hell...a great feel for the bass
I heard him with w.r. amazing player
Do you even know what "underrated" is?
Absolutely in fact when George Duke passed away they should have released this on DVD for his fans as a tribute to him.
Alphonso Johnson is an idol for coming up bassist generations, thanks for loading up this rare concert.
I can’t believe they were doin this shit back then. This sound, the way of playing. The way BILLY PLAYS… don’t even get me started. They were revolutionary at their instruments
Merci George and RIP. Tu nous a tant donné..! Ce concert à Montreux, j'y était, trop trop bien.
"The Legend Of Al Mustafa" is one of my favorite songs ever written.
Honestly....Cobham is the best of all time, right?
OMG ! this band was way up there with the greatest jazz fusion ensembles ever (Return to Forever, Mahavishnu, Weather Report) .... B.C. at his peak, after the extensive touring and recording with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and his early solo projects, Duke fresh from several albums and tours with Zappa (how much can you learn?) John still had hair and just burst into the fusion scene and blew everybody's mind ! Alphonso had just been with Weather Report for a short period before Jaco Pastorius joined them (W.R.) ..... but just listen to the music and everybody's playing ... TOO MUCH !
I think this is all around the best live recording of the fussion era, audiowise, qualitywise and ofc musically
Unrelated to the band, this comment section is fucking gold. Good job everyone!!
Great document of Billy! His whole craft. Groove, power, sensitivity. One and only!
I wish this was on DVD or Blu-ray...this is amazing.
No sweat from me, but those guys were sweatin it out! Glad you dig it!
still digging it in 2024 to eternity, it needs to be on every channel
Def one of my top 5 bands ever. RTF, Mahvishnu, Jean Luc Ponty, and these guys. Thanks for posting.
Even if he was new, the young guy, Scofield was the star here !
Amazing and thanks for your work Bob! Astonish me sounds amazing.
Saw this concert at Royal oak theater Detroit 1976.
magnifique voyage jazz psychédélique musique du monde cela fait du bien george duke😍😍🤩🤩 le meilleurs et les autres musicien billy🤩 alphonso 🤩john 🤩the great's...
At 5’45 G Duke GREAT CHORUS 👏
RIP George Duke
I was listen to this legends in The age of 10 years old and this still inspire me to play drums and mix music. The sound is so good and now still 43 years later its better than The most of livemixes today.
Alphonso Johnson sounds AMAZING!
Saw Billy Cobham George Duke Band on probably same tour. Took a Young Lady really liked she was polite but didn't think she cared for much. Great Band Cobham Duke Scofield Johnson. Saw Billy in 77 With Jeff Beck Jan Hammer Alphonso Johnson really blew it out of the water
Simply top super band of the 70`s - an inspiration to an lot of musicians in the Fusion 70`s
Billy Cobaham é um monstro.
JE LAI VU EN 1976 ET JE L AI CONNU LE MEILLEUR
oggi ho ascoltato una cosa che mai avrei creduto di ascoltare, conosco il mondo delle percussioni e chiedo perdono che lui il genio non lo avevo mai ascoltato una cosa indescrivibile. Mai avrei pensato che un essere umano arrivasse a questi livelli, lui non è un essere umano è un extraterrestre!!
Came for the music....stayed for the music AND the faces
in 1976 this band was kings!
i am beyond words with gratitude that music and concert events such as these have
been appreciated enough to be preserved like this.
future beings will certainly marvel at all this
ingenuity.a true golden age of the musical imagination.
Holy Cow!!! I forgotten this some >30 years ago. What an amazing coincidence to see this now. They sure don't make music like this anymore. Amazing....
I saw George Duke the year before on Halloween night playing with FZ at the William and Mary Auditorium in VA. it was an amazing show!!
Wow, what a great concert. I have the album with all of these songs live, but never had the fortune to see this particular group live. Now I have, I did have the fortune to George & Stanley Clarke live as well as Billy Cobham's group live. We'll never see the likes of these magnificent musicians again. No lip syncing, no over dubbing, no unplugged guitars, these guys were the real mccoys.
Damn. Whoever put this whole concert up may the Creator and all of the goodness in the universe bless your life.
Alphonso c'est la grande ❤❤classe avec Billy. 🎉
If anything this should have been put on DVD as a cool tribute to George Duke when he passed away a few years ago...
Numeri uno. Immortali.❤️❤️❤️
Musicianship doesn’t get much better than this!😎
1976 Wow Today 2018 isl fresh!!! Billy Cobham innovator!!!* Right instrument and Audio Great Concert!!!
I have never heard Stratus like this amazing
Music from my childhood. Amazing! What happened to music and creativity?
one hour and nineteen minutes of bliss
Ain't NO musicians like this Anymore....SADDD.

This was wonderful too. Back in 1976 and I like it today to. Thanks again
I love that cool glass of water on the Clavinet. Ha!!
first time seeing young john. he had hair!
I say, I say....get the funk out of my face! Damn this stuff is smooth.
1’01 my favorite song
Was soll ik sagen.. Amazing... LG
This show should be put on to DVD.... If not for anything else it should be done simply as a tribute to George Duke... This show is outstanding... Billy Cobham - Drums/George Duke - Keyboards, Vocals/John Scofield - Guitar/Alphonso Johnson - Bass what an amazing line-up....
ogrebattle22763 blu-ray* please :D ...not that they could really "upscale" the footage, but I think there would be something they could do if they had all the original footage.
ogrebattle22763 and geez look how skinny Scofield is here ;)
Wow. The Incrediband! Sick playing all over. Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I've been there. Row 18. Too stoned to even lift a brow. A lifetime memory.
seen them twice at the Ivanhoe theater in Chicago. great band!
First listen. Blown the f away. Hi on Music
I'd love to find a video of Billy with Doug Rauch on bass. It didn't get better than that.
I remember seeing this album with the cut off heads of Duke and Cobham as a young lad,it freaked me out but as mum had just bought Spectrum,I was fascinated by it but mum didn’t buy the record,now listeningvto the material,I wish I grew up with this album as well.

Even the hifi stores were cosmic back then with hifi gear stacked high,with cosmic metres and lights with huge tower speakers housed in carved wood cabinets,the 70s were out there and I love that decade for it.
Super song from a super line up-wish they had done more tours!!
This should have been released as a double album!
Always good to see and hear George Duke play.
Crazy 8s Drums, thanks for the share 😀I bought this album on vinyl used for $2.99 in 1989 in Boston. This is a real treat for it has tunes that aren't on the album 😁.
