How is this not famous
Paradoxically too good and too real? Always been a fan, but I was the only one I knew until UA-cam here...
Back again, unreal. Some of the most enjoyable music ever.
Northern song is my favorite..I listen to it almost every night...Been listening since the early 80s..from my home town Minnesota...Never heard anyone use space and percussion like him..I know someone that worked in the studio with him back in the day..beautiful music..
The beauty of a power trio.7minute bliss.
Not purely live - some kalimba overdubs in the beginning - but utterly friggin cool. Tibbetts' first five records are as high on my list as the best of the rest.
This is excellent. More people should be aware of his music. I've ben listening to his stuff for over 30 years and, unlike other more famous fusion/prog/world music from the period, it doesn't get old.
Jay Eastman I have been addicted to Mr. Tibbetts’ music since I was in high school.
I listen to Tibbetts more than any other CD I own, I put five of them in at once and paint all day with them on repeat. It's the best music to paint to that I own.
archeology in fieri of my soul
was introduced with A Safe Journey and have bought everything since, the Best
@@itsALLartVideos, you must have lived in Minnesota
I got to see them live in Tucson mid 80s. Wow. Genius
After listening to the studio version for decades, it's stunning to see them perform such a complex piece live--flawlessly.
When I first heard them, I thought it was all "ad lib" type of jamming and experimentation. To then see them do this amazing song exactly like the album version (with a few minor differences)... it's mind-blowing. Marc is a power-house rhythm machine behind the music, his percussion is genius-level. Just keeps going and going... amazing.
@@itsALLartVideos Marc is blissed out.
One of the best
Safe Journey was my first intro to Steve and still my fave. Genius. These clips are precious.
In 1983...I bought that album based simply on the instruments listed...and boy was my head turned upside down. I've been an avid connessuier of EVERYTHING he's put out...ever since. Safe Journey had zero "dull" songs on it. I musta played it a thousand times if once.
I saw the picture on the cassette cover of Safe Journey and bought it because I had been to that place in Ghana. Man, was that a lucky purchase.
Same here... wore the grooves out on the record, and now the CD... it's in rotation in my studio constantly, the best thing to paint to in the world.
Love it... my intro to Tibetts was Yr in probably ‘89, in college.. My best friend/roommate bought the LP from a record exchange (in San Antonio) because the original cover was an interesting (read: ‘trippy’) hand drawing. It was amazing, so I then bought, Exploded View and Northern Song simultaneously,- quite a lovely contrast. Then Safe Journey, which for a many years I refused to fly without, lol. I still often listen to it on plane flights. Love these guys forever... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
How many are old enough to remember "cut-out" records? The ones that were reduced to something like $0.99 just to get them out the door. There was a place in Greenville, SC in the late 70's and early 80's called Peppermint Records. They used to wrap their cut-outs with t-shirts. Buy a shirt, get a mystery record. A friend bought a Jim Morrison or Jimi Hendrix shirt, tossed the album in the corner and went along his way. Weeks later, he grabbed the record to throw it away, but decided to listen to it first. He's the one that turned my brother and I onto Tibbetts and I've been buying everything I can find.
I lived and breathed by the cut-out bins. Best music in the world was found there.
I remember!!! The best days ever ❤
@@JohnnyNowhere idnt it ? !! found Colosseum live and Jackie Lomax first ,in such a bin.!!!
Brings me right back to circa 1984. Putting the needle down on Safe Journey after buying it on a random whim. 🤯
Tibbetts / Anderson are such a strong inspiration for me. Spare to full, soft to harsh, contemplative to frantic, they span the range of expression with grace and imagination, and are truly in a class of they're own.
It may sound like an exaggeration, but in my collection of 16,000 records, Safe Journey continues to be the most mind-blowing, perfect, exciting of all
I first heard Steve Tibbetts somewhere around 1980. My local record store was playing his then new album YR and I was simply blown away. What is this?! I immediately bought it. This guy is amazing as is Marc Anderson on drums and percussion.
Marc sure played a lot of beautiful things in their collaborations.
I too bought this album after hearing them on KRCC in Colorado springs
That album was produced around 1978..I cought wind on a local late night radio program. I wrote to them. I received album I paid for in advance and still have it today! And a letter from them...gold.
Love Steve Tibbetts! I've been listening to him since the 80's. Marc Anderson shines as always and nobody knows about these guys. YR is probably one of my favorite albums!
I adore YR as well. Just put it back in my car CD player this week. Will have to go buy Safe Journey now.
I've been a Tibbetts/Anderson fan since 1986. It's always been very transcendent and powerful music for me. I actually got to see Steve and Marc play in Detroit at the magic bag theatre...It was genius with delays and footpedals. In 1995 my very first email name was "sphexes", taken from the yr album. I use the same name to this date.
best song on the album in my opinion, love your work Steve
Safe Journey is in my top 5 of all time recordings made by humans. Life music.
I bought this record unheard the year it came out and still have it. One of the best blind leaps I ever made.
I did the same!!!😊
1985 realtà anni d'oro sound gradevoli
This song is simply a miracle. Among tons of records listened to, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. This guitarist is a magician
Very unfortunately, You Tube won’t let me subscribe to your channel. My Masters degree wouldn’t have been what it is without your music!!!.. thank you for the brilliant music that I am addicted to!!!...
Genius.. The Hugh Tracey Kalimba is one of the simplest most beautiful instruments ever.
speechless
yes enfin retrouvé ce morceau
perfect trio. steve, marc, bob...soulful music, rhythms and sounds. such powerful languages. sincere thanks.
Just… incredible. The effortlessness in Steve’s playing is just extraordinary
So excited to have come to this and the recent “hellbound train”. Truly one of the GoAT.
“Safe Journey” T25AT. 🤘🏼😝
Marc playing congas and drum set... mind: blown.
So far---
...my fav ever. Done.
me too!
Love "Safe Journey", but "Northern Song" is in my top 20 all-time recordings, even tho' Steve apparently was unhappy with it. This "Vision" sounds fantastic, all these years later. And so does his "Test", spectacular.
I can't believe I'm seeing Steve Tibbetts live. Incredible music that has accompanied me on my journey through life. A safe journey guaranteed. Thanks Steve, Marc and Bob and Tim 10 000 times. When Marc Anderson walks down the street his footsteps make music. Will you play in the UK anytime soon?
Wow.....Steve Tibbetts con Vision.....Excelente
I like to follow this with 'Test' from the same session. Kalimba to start and end.
I have been a casual fan since 1995, but these videos make me want to listen to Steve's music EVERY day!
love how at 4:34 he whacks the guitar and turns it to the amp, and it screams breathlessly like a frightened ghost
Yep ! Definitely.
@carts2 The drones is probably a taped Prophet 5. Terry Riley did an album with a title that was a pun on it. Prophet 5s have 5 voices. Riley's album was called "The 10 Voices of the Two Prophets" and of course he played two Prophet 5s on the album. Also a wonderful album.
The soft drone in the song is absolutely brilliant! Unique and rare musicianship!
Whatever happened to Bob Hughes? Terrific bassist.
I don’t know, but he’s incredible one of my favorites ever
wowza
Since the early 80s .... been an avid listener to Steve Tibbetts. Thx for the great videos. Wonderful to see their performance for the first time. Eye opening... awake !
I bought Yr when it came out with because I liked the cover. Huge fan since then. You have to admire Steve for not resting on his laurels. Always the restless mind looking for new territory to explore.
STUNNING!
物凄くかっこいい
I'll assume it is Steve himself who graced us with these vids! Thank you 10,000 times! I can only hope you are working on more stuff. ..and no, I don't worship any idols or otherwise...but I simply love your music...it has always influenced my own music, and my life. Thanks.
Steve Tibbetts doesn't know what to expect from the Oklahoma audience when he performs at 8:30 tonight in Norman's Sooner Theater.
"I don't know anything about Oklahoma City," the avant-garde guitarist said in a phone interview, "except that when I hitchhiked through there once from Austin, the dirt was bright red on one side of the river and brown on the other."
It's true, we do have colorful dirt here in the Sooner state, but very few music lovers who have ever heard of Tibbetts.
With four albums to his credit two of which were virtual one-man projects, right down to the pressing and distribution he's garnered breathless praise from the most esteemed music journals in the country: "Tibbetts overdubs acoustic and electric instruments in a Hendrixian mindscape of production wizardry, often combining up to 20 guitars on one track," raved downbeat, the top-dog jazz and experimental music magazine.
"The guitar work is never short of excellent," touted The New Rolling Stone Record Guide.
"It (Tibbetts' music) has overtones of classical, jazz, rock and Martian style, but mostly it is just an extreme pleasure for the senses," The Los Angeles Tribune rhapsodized.
Despite the praise, sales of his most successful albums are in the low thousands and radio airplay of his music is rare, particularly in this part of the country.

I'd hope that even in a hick town like OKC...the people who went to that gig knew who he was beforehand. The city IS big enough to have a few hipsters around...
These are the BEST videos. Does anyone know if they are available on a DVD? And if not, Mr Tibbetts can you please release them?!
wow. I can't believe I'm seeing this. My mind is blown.
Thanks so much for uploading these vids.
Yr changed what I thought music was
My YR Record on vinyl, on YR label, is one of my most prized possessions.
I bought all kinds of ecm records at a used store "vortex" in toronto, because i liked the covers, and the quality of the vinyl(heavy) and 2$ each, lucky guess, i guess, thank steve, and vortex
I only know YR so this is a treat, thanks .
Note that there are zero "thumbs down" votes as of 12/31/16, in over 23 thousand views.... I think that says it all.
Still zero as of June 30, 2018!!
Never dreamed there were videos of this material. A million thanks. Big inspiration for my own music productions and pushed me to grab a kalimba - watch out if you get one, they're addictive.
Loved his album Safe Journey on the ECM SP label back in the 80's.Tried to buy it again recentlly on the ECM site. No chance. Just discovering this utube medium. Cool.
Incredible
I appreciate somebody explaining that song title. Not that that sort of thing needs explaining. I'm just impressed that you know what you're talking about. I have the album "ten voices . . ." just never guessed there was something behind the title.
Thank you for posting!
wow, this is pretty great.
Love the album version of the section from 3:19 to 3:31 here. Takes me back to long drives back to college and looking at the highway that continued on into the distance.
Awesome!
Music for musicians... and others if they "get it".
YR/northersong/fall of us all/big map idea took me from Miles to weather report to unequaled gratitude
temazo
Aye!!!!1111!!!!!11!!1!!!!
Steve---come play in the Pacific Northwest!!! Please!
Hi Ric,
Thanks for the kind offer.
Sorry for delay in reply.
Will send you an email proper.
He strums with his fret finger...! Dang
I wanna date the bassist in 1985.
Not a synth - it's electric guitar thru chorus, delay and modulation. I do that all the time and you can easily approximate synth textures.
You Tube won’t let me subscribe to your channel. That is a bad thing...
