    45 years ago on this day, Weather Report played one of their most iconic shows in Offenbach am Main, Germany. The show was filmed in its entirety for a broadcast of Rockpalast, a German music television program, and is one of the six professionally shot Weather Report concerts to receive an official release.
    Showcasing the band at the peak of their commercial success, the concert was filmed at the beginning of the 1978 tour of Europe, during which the group gave the audiences their first glimpses of Mr. Gone, released in September 1978. From the opening riff of Black Market to the thunderous synths of Birdland, the jazz-fusion supergroup proves why they're one of, if not the greatest fusion band of all time, and if you're not convinced, I advise you to sit back, relax, and give this a much-deserved watch.
    00:00:23 - 1. Black Market
    00:11:30 - 2. Scarlet Woman
    00:20:48 - 3. Young and Fine
    00:27:41 - 4. The Pursuit of the Woman with the Feathered Hat
    00:34:30 - 5. A Remark You Made
    00:41:34 - 6. River People
    00:49:27 - 7. Wayne's Solo (Thanks for the Memories)
    00:53:14 - 8. Jaco's Solo (Slang)
    01:03:00 - 9. Mr. Gone
    01:11:43 - 10. In a Silent Way / Waterfall
    01:15:46 - 11. Teen Town
    01:23:55 - 12. Joe's Solo (I Got It Bad [and That Ain't Good])
    01:27:19 - 13. The Midnight Sun Never Sets (Keyboard and Sax Duet)
    01:32:45 - 14. Birdland
    01:39:42 - Band introduction
    01:41:00 - 15. Peter's Solo (Fred and Jack)

      Saw them in Santa Cruz, CA c.1976, tripped-out on local shrooms & some liqueur. Managed to get backstage and then (v. small) dressing room. Gibbered out the predictable, "You were so great!" and found myself gently rolled out to the hall.😅
      From there I spilled out into the cool, fog-enshrouded evening. Great times never to be repeated...

      UA-cam, with absolutely NO regard for genius, or the enjoyment of it; chose to put a freaking commercial break 3/4 of the way through Birdland. What a pile of capitalist dypschitts.

    I've listened to this Birdland 100s of times over the last 47years. It still has the all the inspiration and hidden gems of genius and emotion that was Weather Report. This in particular turned on a generation music listeners to Jazz.

    What an amazing power quartet they were at this point, with Peter and Jaco! Truly a groundbreaking band, and at the same time a fun, exciting and accessible band - they had the same kind of wide genre-crossover appeal as Bob Marley and the Wailers had around the same time.
    The take of "A Remark You Made" here shows just how solid musicians they were - none of them is just a sideman in that one, they are all up front and essential, it is like a chamber music piece where all four are key to the textures.❤ Thanks for uploading!

    This is the same year and lineup when I saw them at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor MI. I was already a big fan but I still wasn't ready for what I saw that night. The house lights went down, the stage lights came up, they came out on stage, took their places, looked at each other, nodded and they were off and running for over two hours.

    I saw the 1978 Mr Gone tour at the Beacon Theater, NYC. We were totally blown away! The band was at their peak, along with the previous few years with Alex Acuna on drums too. Rarely is such a special band ever assembled. It doesn't get much tighter! Jaco doing the moonwalk... seriously?!! Good times when I was only 18. Thank you for this ❤🤗

    I saw this band in 1980 in London, it was a fantastic show and they played Black market as an encore. I mean the whole album was the encore. I left that show a changed man and I have seen a lot of bands, the only other band that really got me was Steppenwolf, another great live show.

    First time I ever noticed - Mr. Zawinul's got at least one of the keyboards reversed so when he moves his hands on the keys to the right, he's actually moving down in pitch. Interesting.

      - The Chicken
      - Birdland
      - River People
      - Punk Jazz
      He used one at most of his live performances.

      And why is that? Because UA-cam compresses the file drastically. You have not seen the actual, uncompressed .mov files I have. There is some grain on that video, as is appropriate for the time period, yet none of that is visible on this UA-cam upload.
