Creme always rises to the top and that is exactly where you want to be with Simon Phillips ! He always raises the level of all the artists who play around him and this concert is another that exemplifies same.Makes no matter, Jazz, Rock or Progressive Rock, Phillips plays at an elite level.A great concert with everyone playing tight ..and with respect ! I am 75 and played coronet, trumpet and baritone since age 10 and can attest to the mastery of instrumentation that is shown here.Great ordered soounds !
Respect Sir. U got it right!! I'm a drummer age 42 and i cannot agree more with U. So frustating that he gets so little attention from the mainstream music industrie. I know why...only 0000000.1% or so know what he's doïng and did. To bad...
@@jenteworrell4065 Paste-ing this comment from the comment I made on John Hunter Drummer. Thought it made sense here too: I'm not a drummer (although I love fool around on drums) but a guitar player and sometimes produce and arrange my own music. To me Simon is complete to the verge of not being spotted where ever he plays on a record or live. I mean, at the age of 20 he had played with Jack Bruce (How's Tricks? album) and with Judas Priest (Sin After Sin album; there's a great live gig from NAMM 2009 on YT where he plays Dissident Agressor with Andy Timmons). Then Mike Oldfield, Jeff Beck, Pretenders, Pete Townshend and Toto and countless gigs as session and live drummer. To me he's got a kind of 'light touch' in everything he plays, and a groove!
It's amazing How the soul expresses itself through the instruments As they Have an amazing rhythmical conversation. As the rhythm of the drum encourages The feeling of the groove.😊
Simon Phillips is one of those drummers who just knows what the music needs. He always seems to put just what the music calls for into exactly the right moment in just the right way. Sax player isn't bad either ;) really reminds me of Bill Evans.

Musicisti fantastici....Simon Philips è uno dei più grandi batteristi.... controllo, dinamiche, armonie...il bassista è spettacolare....gli altri non scherzano.... grazie...
Tight, tight, tight. Love the bass and drums relationship, the gorgeous compositions - I haven't heard Simon make a mistake in his entire career. And did I say they're tight!
... as if the great times of fusion, 70s-80s, continue even greater, george duke smiling from above - what an amazing human machine is working here - corona-anesthesia is just blown away in a super-smooth operation of joy of playing ...
Not only is Simon one of the greatest drummers of all time, my personal fave of all time. But he is also the most prolific JazzFusin composer of all time, writing all his own compositions.
Wonderful band and music. Definitely one of the most important fusion bands today and among my favorites of all time. Simon is amazing and has consistently produced music of outstanding quality year after year. Thank you, Simon and band for sharing this beauty with us - my life is more enjoyable and meaningful for your efforts.
SIMMON,YOUR PLAYING IS ELEGENT.the sound you pull out of your drum kit is beautiful. You truly are a master at your craft. Absolutely love what you have put together here.!!!
From Toto to Hiromi Trio Project to Judas Priest to Derek Sherinian to Jeff Beck, Simon Phillips is one of the greatest drummers of all time and one of the true masters of the drums, Protocol have had many great lineups but this incarnation is just a monster powerhouse and the finest collection of musicians ever assembled. This band rocks!
This is just the best, who are those 39 that gave thumbs down? oh well i suppose you cant please everyone. Simon you are such an inspiration, just awesome.
Non ci sono molte parole per definire concerti come questo.....c'è tutto, perizia tecnica, feeling, impatto sonoro e visivo. Simon Phillips è un batterista dotato di una tecnica straordinaria e sopraffina.
Altísimo nivel planetario de los cinco miembros para los que no se hayan dado la cuenta. Otmaro gracias siempre por lo que haces para este mundo musical❣👏. Tambien como no, a Simon. "El mago del ruido frecuencial"🙌. Saludos desde Madrid. Spain
Before COVID hit, I had enjoyed watching Protocol play in Ronnie Scott's, London, every year they appeared there. Have seen Andy Timmons, Greg Howe and most recently Alex Sill on the guitar. A different experience each time and some of my favourite Ronnie Scott's gigs have been Protocol. For sure my favourite current fusion line up around!
I’m so out of it. Love Simon and Protocol but thought they had never been to Yoshis in Oakland California. Wrote to Yoshis booking and to Simons booking and hooked them up to arrange a tour date at this great venue. But Pandemic came…………..so thus my wish for an adjusted Anniversary Tour. I’m in healthcare for schools, so I should be more patient. Looking forward to the day😌
I actually went to see them a few days prior to that recording. Simon's friend with the owner of a small club in Verviers, Belgium. So he drops by from time to time. I'm standing first row, stage is maybe 0.7m high max. I could've just hopped on it. It's really amazing to see such greats up close
EXTRAOOOOORDINARIO......LA MAGIA DE LA EJECUCION "MAESTRA"....todos en cada instrumento, son de lo mejor...y don simon el lider...GRACIAS por compartir tan grande AGASAJO........SALUUUUUU
Can't thank you enough. Been killing to see them somewhere close to Spain! Ernest Tibbs has to be in my top 3 basemen. Check out a 19 year old SciFi on Judas Priest's Sin after Sin, check out the track Sinner. He had been playing professionally for about 6 years at this point. Listening to him developing his signature sound. Great track if you're a metal fan. Twin axes of KK and Tipton and a rollicking Phillips.
Check the description for the track listing and personnel.
i also saw greg howe listed in 2020 is he coming back?
Circle seven isn't at 24:47 but at 26:30

Ernest Tibbs on Bass...wonderful.
I would love to get a chance to jam with Tibbs one day.
That guy is so passionate about his playing.
An intensely focused player! Faultless.
@@VALERIAN-p9l I saw him twice with Holdsworth and and Chad W in 2008. Superb... as you'd expect.
What an incredible tone.

And with the WDR making the sound you got it perfect!

One of my all time favorite drummers!!
Appreciation to Simon for talking in german, it took me few years to learn it on communication level ;) Wonderful and humble musician.
Tight, tight, tight. Love the bass and drums relationship, the gorgeous compositions - I haven't heard Simon make a mistake in his entire career. And did I say they're tight!
Absolutely brilliant band... Simon Phillips is definitely a god on drumkit!
This the best concert I've seen in years. Absolutely stunning.

Great drummer--best drum sound ever. You can tell he pays attention to that.
he's a sound engineer aswell
This kid on sax is blowing some serious changes. My goodness..Hella tight Quintet. 🎵
Thats what she said.....\
lets take a moment and appreciate the lovely audio done by WDR.
Great band, great gig and my favourite drummer... and I worked with many... great kit, almost as many toms as Terry Bozzio 🤣
Thankyou.
Glad you like it! Keep following to our channel!
Not only is Simon one of the greatest drummers of all time, my personal fave of all time. But he is also the most prolific JazzFusin composer of all time, writing all his own compositions.
Got to see Simon and Al Di Meola in Houston many years back, Awesome show!
Magic melodic drummer, super sound, virtuosity of the tempo and the band, inventive music. Thank.
wow! great band! great Simon, what a drummer!
I love Circle Seven. I never want that song to end.

This is great! What a band Simon has at the moment 👌🏻
You mean Protocol 3 or 4? 'Cause this is 3... Anyway it pays to have talent and friends at good places, and God knows Simon has plenty of both.
Or is Protocol4? Gosh I'm getting confused myself lol. In any case this is the best iteration of the band so far IMHO :D
Kaveman Karl I think this is 4? 🤔
@@TTPDrums Really? Not too familiar with 'em yet...
@@kavemankarl2588 Now they are up to 5 xD
Very good that you uploaded this to UA-cam so it is preserved. I was there, to the right of the stage, by the guitarist!
Amazing music!! Long live, Simon!
Simon Phillips on the drums, Amazing drumsound and a great drummer!
Conheci Simon no Toto e depois fui atrás de seu trabalho que é explendido

Nice with the addition of a saxplayer!!
And his tone is HUGE! Saw them live last year in Belgium. It was epic!
Spricht besser deutsch, als die deutsche Außenministerin. ❤ Superschönes Konzert, danke für den Upload!
Just phenomenal musicianship all the way around.
2:15 Atomic clocks work exactly to the millionth of a second because these clocks follow the clock of simon Phillips
:-)
It’s all about the clock !
Wrong. Scientists created atomic clocks to find out how Simon Phillips plays.😀
Hahahah, so true.
super nummer 🙃😄
O ! My. Been waiting for a concert hi def. Sound. New tunes. There it is. Thank u so much for uploading.
