Miles Davis - May 25th, 1974 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

[@nafdar6]

"I was in São Paulo, Brazil, and had been drinking all this vodka and I smoked some marijuana-which I never did, but I was having such a great time… Plus I took some Percodan and was doing a lot of coke. When I got back to my hotel room, I thought I was having a heart attack. I called the front desk and they sent up a doctor and he put me in the hospital. They had tubes up my nose and IVs attached to me. The band was scared; everyone thought I was going to die. I thought to myself. This is it. But I pulled through that one … They had to cancel the show that night and reschedule it the following night. I played and blew everybody’s mind I was playing so good." - MD

So this is what Miles was doing the day I was born. Cool.

A lovely day, sonically indeed. Add to the fact that Mr. Cosey is actually playing cowbell... Fly On, Pete.😊

There is something about the may/june 1974 situation that is really hot with Miles Davis

After listening to The Byrds live version of 8 Miles High, I get to listen to Miles & Miles of Miles and The Band. What a treat. Thanks

I can absolutely tell the difference in audio quality here, than at the Sao Paulo concert. Thanks. 🎉

How often can you compete for the crown? A limited term like a president or multiple title bouts like an athlete?

👍

[@bmuhamad]

Isn't Pete Cosey also playing synth, while Dominique plays third guitar rhythm / solos, here also?
