I was at that concert! When I went to take a leak after the concert, Jaco was taking one right next to me :-). On the same night, there were Art Blakey and Klaus Doldingers Passport, two days earlier, there were Billy Cobham-George Duke, with the young John Scofield and McLaughlin's Shakti, two days later Stan Getz, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, the next day Sarah Vaughn. We slept in the courtyard of the Montreux casino. My god, those were the days...
@@allinthemind2006 Yes, I did. And we also talked. My parents, the trumpetplayer Oscar Klein and my mother, jazzsinger Miriam Klein, grew up with Joe Zawinul in Austria. So I told Jaco to tell Joe that I'm here and to let me go backstage to say hello. Jaco answered: «I cannot tell Joe to let you come backstage, but I could certainly ask him.» I got a free english lesson from the amazing Jaco Pastorius :-).
5:55 my heart breaks. he's so young and clean, his mental demons haven't attacked him yet. It's an honor to see him at this stage. Belongs in a time capsule, that's how important Jaco is
I was thinking the same thing. Except for the word "talent". I was wondering if it would EVER be possible to witness something like this again? Probably not. But, I would be happy to be proven wrong. But, with only 674,000 some views since 2012, what are the chances another group of musicians getting this diverse, creative, and motivated for some serious killer jams still in the vicinity of Jazz.
Here's Weather Report in their prime....Saw them 5 times back then...Really was going to see Jaco each time...Alex Acuna ; one of the greatest drummers on the planet!
No muchos peruanos te reconocen hoy Alex, pero los que sí te queremos mucho porque quién no sería capaz de reconocer tu maestría y hasta donde has llegado gracias a eso
Is it just me, but does it look like Zawinul has never been happier? Maybe because he knows he's finally got the tightest, best band on the planet in 1976. Can't stop watching this.
It was an incarnation of WR I did not like quite as much as this one but if we're just talking about the expression on Zawinul's face, I think there were some moments with Omar Hakkim where he looked a bit happier. There's a Tokyo concert I'm thinking of (avail here on YT) Regardless, I think there's no question he was proud of having the best band in existence.
zawinul is an ass. he doesn't deserve such great musicians. an Austrian Nazi. fuck him. everything he did after this great band was crap. he never again got the music people interested in him. so he gave a whole lot of shit to everybody. this band carried him. he didn't carry anybody.
@@willemsengers6017 Err, I just got into WR, but seems to me he composed some of the best modern jazz melodies. And a Nazi? I remember hearing him say he was a racist yeah...because he only ever listened to black music.
10:52 tune Cannonball from album Black market is one of the most beautiful Weather report /Jaco tunes. (A hommage to Cannonball Adderley) 14:44 The outro w Jaco bassline and Wayne and Joe soloing over it is a cry moment both here and on record 😭
I saw Weather report in 1982 at The Palace in Columbus Ohio. Awesome show....Jaco played two basses at once with an echoplex...the song was Purple Haze....killer show.
They were at the Stanley in the winter of 76, if I remember correctly. It sold out and I couldn't get in. I stood by the marque all night and listened. Froze my ass off. It was the best show I never saw.
I’m glad I saw them live in London in the late 70’s. I only remember they were magic and I was swinging from my tree! Weather Report never has bad weather.
I've always tried (and failed at) reading Wayne Shorter. What is going on in that genius brain? He always looks so forlorn. But I sure feel every note he plays! My fav saxophonist.
This was the summer of 76 ,to this day one of the hottest ever in Europe and you can see the sweat dripping off all of these musicians, so I think it’s just physical discomfort.Dripping sweat must be awful for a sax player. Wayne’s concentration levels are incredible, and I think he keeps still and expressionless so that he can deliver to the max.
Almost seems like he was worn out with maybe Zawinul and the pissing contest that Zawinul may have had w Jaco...maybe lack of creative space for Shorter...I think Zawinul crowded his ideas...if that makes sense...just my uneducated guess
They were all great musicians and talented instrumentalists who came together to blend one of the most eclectic styles of sound yet to be replicated. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to grow up in that era.
Oh man there's so much joy here between the players and the music they're creating. You can see it in Joe's eyes - pure and childlike, which says a lot for a man who was pretty demanding and hard with high expectations and a competitive mean streak.
Manolo badrena was my next door neighbor when i was a kid. His drum practice studio was some 20 feet from my parent’s room. I remember seeing him with his long hair and all.
@@blairjones8231 all subjective bud, everyone has music they like and dislike, or what bores them or makes them happy, gotta have respect for it all though, its art
Saw this version of this band three times that year of 1976. Thank you for posting this, because it takes me right back. Jaco, young and not yet wrecked, is beautiful. So much joy in the way this band played.
Forty-three years ago....Jaco stunned The bass community, much like Scott LaFaro did with Bill Evans... NO one played like that before, just a standard vintage Fender Jazz Bass, but with a defretted and coated fingerboard, ans Rotosound stainless round wound strings... the lines, technique, his use of harmonics.... Now, it seems like EVERY new 'bass star' or 'phenom' is just imitating him, and his sound. Bill Milkowski's book on Jaco's life is a great read.
I saw them during the Heavy Weather tour. At the time, I was about 27 and still trying to be the bast bassist I could. That night I heard/saw this punk guy named Jaco. I handed him my hopes for the bass that night. He was doing stuff with that Jazz Bass that no one else was. Within a couple of years, you could not escape his sound on every fusion record there was. I completely agree Dave with your assessment. He did a solo section with an Echoplex and the rig shown that rearranged my world musically, and I had been gigging for a living for 5 years before that.
Pastorius debe ser el mejor o uno de los mejores bajistas de la historia llegó tan alto como virtuoso y cae tan bajo x sus dependencias hay que recordarlo en lo grande y que lo pequeño sea ejemplo para que no se repita. RIP
My favourite incarnation of this wonderful band. I remember seeing them on the Night Passage tour in the early 1980's with the great Peter Erskine and Bobby Thomas Jr at the Birmingham Odeon....what a great great night...
Saw them in concert around 1977 in Chicago. To date, one of the best bands that I have ever seen live. Jaco did a solo that brought the house down, totally mindblowing! I love how he altered his Bass to make it play the way he wanted it to play. Try playing a "fretless" Bass like that. No one playing either before or since even comes close to Jaco. Those were the good old days when music was amazing & musicians had real talent, unlike the crap around today. Thank you Jaco & the crew of Weather Report for the great music that you gave the world.
I learned modalites and practiced and practiced and practiced Wayne Shorter riffs and listened to every WR album (that's right youngun's - albums) over and over and over. I wore out the grooves! Best band ever!!
this music still sounds fresh and crisp to me after all these years. very unique sound, very tight playing, very gifted musicians. makes me feel blessed and grateful!
@@Thundergod- I love Chester Thompson and Peter Erskine, but my 3 favorite WR drummers are (in no particular order) Eric Gravatt, Alex Acuna and Alphonse Mouzon. I could conceivably replace Mouzon with Erskine based on Erskine getting to show more than Mouzon did while they were each with WR. Mouzon's best work for me was away from WR.
Not being a jazz fan in particular, but liking it very much, I sometimes forget that there is such a music scene in Europe. When I think "jazz" my mind doesn't immediately fly to Europe, but, here it is! Very cool!
Who else was in love with Jaco in these days? I was 15 years old then. Is this really 76 and not 77? Totally blown away by Weather Report and followed Jaco as much as I could after that.
I had heard that alcohol was involved in his death, and in the music business it's been far to common someone has got out of control with it. if your an out of control addict of any kind in the business, you better get a handle on it because people don't care about you enough when you stop looking after yourself.
I just recently started learning about Jaco and I don't know why I didn't do so earlier. How I overlooked him when I have loved Weather Report all these years is beyond me
@@jackburton6998 Oh yesss ! I will never forget this fraternal encounter! A cosmic "Full 🌕 Connection". We were a good ten aliens, vibrating blissfully four meters from the great Jaco, on this little flying carpet and we sweated abundantly with these genius musicians. What a masterfully filmed ten-fingered solo! I kept this rug preciously. Although it has aged somewhat, it still flies very well. This summer, I used it to spend a few days of family vacation on the planet Gong. And at this moment, as I write these few exciting lines, etc, etc :)
Brent Jackson :His way of landing on the “1” weather it be 4/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8....etc is just amazing.....speed never mattered, he always said it was usually just two fingers flicking and raking,.... that’s when you “become” your instrument when you explain it that simply, in my opinion. I’m a funk/Jazz drummer and would give....a lot....to play with that man. The older I get, the more I “hear” in his performances ....for example from 7:55 to 8:13....what a beautiful riff to send you on a “ear learning” tangent....and yes....what an animal....and what an inner animalistic inspiration
@@minorthreat8240 You and I need to jam my friend. I've been searching for many a year for a drummer that loves this type of music and appreciates the genius of Jaco Pastorius III like I do. Truly one of the greatest influences and inspirations of my entire musical journey. I sincerely hope you read this and that you live in the NY area. Get in touch with me. I play guitar and just to give you a brief idea of my style, Hiram Bullock along with Jaco drastically changed the way I play my instrument. Think Live in NYC Vol. 2. I have a bass player that can really throw down too. Paulvonwiegand@verizon.net
Damn shame you're not in London - I'd be up for a jam - I'm a Joe obsessed/influenced keys player - I did a tribute set to Joe covering Weather Report and Syndicate repertoire back in 2008 just after he passed away with my UK fusion band Curfew...……….@@techmiter6299
This just blows my mind. Sadly i haven't listened enough to Paco nor Weather Report, nor any of the names involved here, until recently... Better late than never, but this is so incredible that I feel embarrassed to not have been listening for decades. Mind blown that there is SO much clarity to all sounds here, with SO much going on, SO many treats give. Within this set, and done with all this clarity. Everything sounds so dang good. Modern times, alot of this type of stuff doesn't hit me so beautifully, not because of the players now, but, to me, the new ways of recording, producing... The newest mics involved, etc etc... It doesn't bring the music together with such snap all while carrying grace throughout. I miss the sounds of yesteryear. I will be listening to these players for quite a long time from here on out. Also the other projects they have each been part of otherwise. The drums sound sooooo good. The wind instrument Carry like they are riding on the actually air of the sky. Paco's even included such brutal sounding distortion at the smallest of moments, that add to everything so well. I love all this whole set.
Probably captures the time when this all came together for Weather Report. This was a storm OK. Zawinal actually really enjoying himself, he got Jacko with him and the rest of the greatest line up innit. All the line ups that joe had were all full of great players and its all worth watching BUT this is actually the genuine article.
I was at that concert! When I went to take a leak after the concert, Jaco was taking one right next to me :-). On the same night, there were Art Blakey and Klaus Doldingers Passport, two days earlier, there were Billy Cobham-George Duke, with the young John Scofield and McLaughlin's Shakti, two days later Stan Getz, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, the next day Sarah Vaughn.

Fortunately we have these recordings as time capsules to savor.
Totally agree with you Jamie, and he was very much in his prime without a doubt.
A Shooting Star that came from nowhere and went right back there too soon! I have seen 3 in my lifetime: Jimi, Jaco and Tony Williams. That's been it.
Alex Acura was so underrated. A band full of all stars and all I can do is watch that little dude bang the drums with such precision! Wow!
Fantastici musica GRANDIOSA
he's great
He was fabulous ! ❤
I'm sure Zawinul knew what he had with him. Swiss clockwork presicion.
Acuna one of the greatest
The talent on this stage is unreal. Wow is all I can say....

Jaco remains the most incredible bass player ever.

Nice find ! Time to dig the old albums out. Great stuff.

Truth...
had the great privilege of seeing this line-up
que bien sonaba ya ese jóven Alex Acuña! thank you so much for posting this!
Saw them three years later in Antibes/Juan les Pins, now with Peter Erskine on the drums. Unforgetable.
This is the best formation of "Wheather Report". They came in Rio in 1979. it was wonderfull !!!
Always come back to weather report. Balances me out real good. Hard to find anything else like it
It sets you straight.
Jaco had the longest fingers ever.....this is the seminal line up...best ever of this supergroup!

Once. I heard this group..it put my ears on another level...wow 1976 *

Jaco was so young, pure, and not on heavy drugs at this time -- a burgeoning genius.
You mean not slipping into schizzo/bipolar breakdown. Poor amazing man
Poor jaco bless them
Who else was in love with Jaco in these days? I was 15 years old then. Is this really 76 and not 77? Totally blown away by Weather Report and followed Jaco as much as I could after that.
It’s crazy and sad the way Jaco lived his last days. They named a Park after him in our home town, Oakland Park, Fl.
I had heard that alcohol was involved in his death, and in the music business it's been far to common someone has got out of control with it. if your an out of control addict of any kind in the business, you better get a handle on it because people don't care about you enough when you stop looking after yourself.

The drums sound sooooo good. The wind instrument Carry like they are riding on the actually air of the sky. Paco's even included such brutal sounding distortion at the smallest of moments, that add to everything so well. I love all this whole set.
YA NO SE HACEN MILAGROS COMO ESTE. THANKS!
this its a great album and the late jaco in its height of his career...
I just now discovered this groovy ass jam. WOW!! All the wasted years of not knowing. Got it now..
My goodness what astounding beautiful vibrant music.
Quincy Jones, summed the band up best: "It was a privilege to attend a Weather Report concert !"
Probably captures the time when this all came together for Weather Report. This was a storm OK. Zawinal actually really enjoying himself, he got Jacko with him and the rest of the greatest line up innit. All the line ups that joe had were all full of great players and its all worth watching BUT this is actually the genuine article.
Magnifique ! Toujours aussi prenant . Vraiment le top .Pastorius a donné ses titres de noblesses à la basse.
One of my favorites also one of the best all-time bassist and bands Jocko pastoria
The camerawork in this is maddening.
I think we're seeing the #2 camera's perspective. If not, let's shoot the camera guy. This drives me crazy too
Who gave that kid a (WHISTLE) zoom lens?
Aww...
@@LOKJazz Exactly correct........................!!!
Yes, it was horrible. Sniper in action transmission
Jaco, man. He was Not Of This Earth.
Bellissimo! Travolgente👌👍👏👏👏
Tengo una resaca maravillosa que ellos elevan . Gracias genios
It's so nice to hear something creative for a change!
damn, this is great !.........wish I paid attention to this band back in the day but thankfully for recordings, it's never too late I guess
Thank YOU !!!!!
What a great player Alex Acuna is - totally free with a terrific feel. Unique maybe because he is predominantly a percussionist?
So cool, so loose. I agree, he plays like a percussionist which really opens things up. Brilliant style.👍
magnifique!!!
I’ve seen this line up of musicians that year in Hartford,Connecticut unbelievable you had to be there and only 10 bucks admission!
