Three virtuosos with Billy Cobham, the GOAT.

Rest in peace Chick. A great influence to many, including myself...

I’m a guitar player & Billy steals the show! Like a rapid fire piston engine firing on all cylinders in time! Fantastic...

Di Meola such an inspiration to me.

Mr. Cobham has the absolute quickest drum roll fill inserts i have never heard before in my life! Al intersects with him like magic and the Great Chick Corea is the glue here!

Amazing performance of a classic Chick Corea tune. That drummer is incredible.

Like I tell everyone. I have seen them all. The Baddest Drummer by far is Mr. Billy Cobham. And it is not Close.! I Love you Billy and Your Smile and Joy of Playing!

Before Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Carter Beauford...there was Billy Cobham. A powerful drummer with ambidextrous ability who could groove the pants of any audience. I saw Billy many times over the years and met him a couple times after drum clinics...a sweetheart of a man.

Al di meola sounds awesome on the full hollow body

The greatest Legend Master musician has passed away we'd like to wish everyone who's a fan of Chick Corea and his family and his friends are heartfelt sorrow today remember God is greater and he's up there with the Masters where you should be got a chance to see him at the Landmark jazz festival here in Las Vegas with the electric Band Dave Weckl Frank Gambalie Eric Marienthal wow

I am 61 and I will remember the first time I had the chance to hear Mr.Bill, I was only 15 or so. He stood out in a very large cloud that is only getting better. Time will tell. He is the best drummer that I have ever heard, piriord. 👏👍😀

Billy cobham is one of the most fantastic drummers ever ive been to one of his seminares mind blowing fast ond he can separate his hands and legs beats so far from any one ive seen the guy is a rare gift love ya billy from filthy Rich in seattle

Absolutely spectacular! Three of the most influential and talented musicians to ever walk the earth.

Billy Cobham is the God father of the drums period just brilliant hands down the key to his playing "passion " which escapes a lot of the so call best.

Seen Billy a few times and I consider myself fortunate to enjoy his masterpiece

Great musicians leaving us with best in music .

Cobham!!! On a whole other level from these guys who are already on other levels.

I´m truly sad about the death of the great & uniqu Chick Corea. This vid shows his greatness & how uge the loss will be. RIP.

OMG. Dizz iz good!

The chorus grows - Billy takes the prize here, hands down. Incredible drumming throughout (eg @ 3:25). Style without comparison. He owned this performance and both Al and Chic acknowledge it, from their reaction. Fantastic drummer - they just don't make them like this any more - and what music will they practice to in years to come.... I wonder. Close of an era. Many thanks for sharing.

Billy Cobham: A Single-Stroke-Rollercoaster on fire at his peak!

This is so damn perfect it's sick.

Yet another version of this amazing number. RIP Chick, brilliant playing, as usual from Mr di Meola on his beautiful Gibson 175, is it possible that Billy Cobham is the best drummer in the Universe?

Yes’ Rest In Peace Chick Correa!

Some of the greatest musicians to ever Grace the Earth 🌎

I was there. great concert

RIP Chick! Descansa en paz, genio!

I swear i just can't get enough of this. Just absolutely mind blowing! EVERYONE was on par and billy; well...just being billy. Lol.

ABSOLUTELY MEMORIZING

I saw chick & Al and lenny and stanley RTF in the early 80s in philly incredible show!

that cobham could power a small town.

❤

I had the pleasure of seeing Return To Forever 3 times! the 1st time was at a small venue back in the 70's and the music was so new Al was using sheet music on some songs!

Masterful. Als tone is so.pure

Stunning performance of Chick's most acclaimed standard. Al Dimeola is quite possibly the most rhythmic guitarist ever !!!

Thanks for young bill , chick, & al footage! Wonderful! Hope you got more!

What a great drummer!!...

Stupendo!!

That was exquisite playing from all!!

SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!

Wow master's at their craft's outstanding 🤙🤙

Such a great version of Chick's Spain.!! and those Speed Merchants on drums and guitar. It is so nice to hear Al on a Gibson Jazz guitar..!!

Genius,one and all!👏👏👏👏

São DEUSES da musica

The baddest !!!!

My first jazz concert in my town Cagliari, I was 15.I was very lucky at that time: I saw and listened to the best jazz musicians for many years not in NYC, London or Paris, but Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.

I wish there was a high-res recording of this legendary performance, thanks for posting!

great version, never heard it before, love the original with airto moreira on drums...

No bass player,check that. All these guys when they are young,and still were so good. A good foundation is extremely important.

I spent a week with Billy Cobham at his epic 6 day run at Ronnie Scott's, interviewed jazz greats like Ron Carter, Jan Hammer, and Randy Brecker, fans, critics, club owners, plus 14 hours with Bill himself. The life and art of Billy Cobham. "Six Days at Ronnie Scott's: Billy Cobham on Jazz Fusion and the Act of Creation."

MAGNIFIQUE!

Billy cobham changed my thought and understanding of the modern contemporary and fusion drumming this man had a huge influence on many many young drummers like me on 70 ,s

Cobham Taming the Tama....

Billy Cobham

Wonderfull ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Please, more reverb & compression. (That aside, there are only three drummers that are so unique you can ALWAYS tell it's them: Buddy, Ginger and Billy Cobham. Billy is maybe the greatest, most powerful and articulate of all. GOSH I love his playing.)

Super. Lubię taką muzykę. Cześć Pamięci Chick Corea.

Rip Chick corea My Teacher my Mentor I love you Jazz clasik

Seeing this again I'm reminded that Al Di Meola played this "jazz" type of model of electric guitar only around this time of his career (early nineties) but I honestly think it sounds better to the solid-body electric guitar "in his hands" in that, if in his early days the "rock-lead" sound he used made sense for the type of music he was doing then, his style of writing music since the nineties is such that on electric I'd imagine his playing would sound better on this type of model guitar rather than the models he now uses

So jubilant jazz fusion ... I would have liked to be there to see these stars, so young at that time !

Powerhouse musos, all of them..

Man those drumzz were begging for mercy!!!!!!

Magnificent Music!

The drummer seems so happy. I’d be happy if I could play like any of these guys.

extraordinario

Todo músico qtiene la posibilidad de...llegar al jazz... Y foguearse en el no será jamás la misma persona, el jazz es un antes después en los caminos de la vida, el buen gusto nos conduce por un camino q es solo de ida !!!

They were happy to be in Sardinia

magical performance... made my life better...

Fabuleux

Thanks !

Wow

fun fun ! my jazz .

R.I.P Chick Corea

Never seen Cobham on a set of Slingerlands before.

Wow.

they are happy and share this happiness with us

@7:28 my face slowly melting. just wow

Eternal gratitude.

Wow!

kind of a unique performance this. a 1990 encore, I think, but none of the trio played in the same band at the festival, I think. anyway, like Al's tone here; Corea has rhythm of course; and Billy plays enough to cover both the bass and drums...lol. Saw Billy play once in a Dublin pub; Corea once with Burton in London; and Al once in London and once in Cork. Nice to see them having a bash at being an impromptu trio, albeit with the inevitable choice of encore number, for Chick, without the audience sing-a-long this time. Cobham did an album inspired by his Panamian roots once; I have it somewhere; but never think of listening to it...hmm

Real music Really great music....

perfecto

Drummer is unbelievable

Bestias!

I am humbled!

amazing

2:46 omg...Cobham...that shuffle

Thanks God !

Al's face at 7:51 is Priceless

Nice

interesting seeing cobham using the slingerlands ive only seen him with those super deep yamahas

Billy......

I've always admired Cobham's creativity and development of "New Sounds".. His new band from what I read will have a Bassoon player, Paul Hanson... Can't wait to hear his new Band Crosswinds..WHO DAT! WWW.KKAREMUSIC.COM

Cobham is better than a drum machine.

bonita melodia

Words for Al di Meola... Always love the precise and clean on his execution... Not to menction the technics and virtuosity...

Música asociada a sabiduría conduce al alma al reencuentro con la esencia, digo ...música...no se si e sido claro... !!!! ???? O.k......

Yeah amazing how they pulled it off without a bass player huh? Billy and his open-handed technique allows for more bottom to cover the baseline with toms and a very busy samba kick drum.

Quel druming..!!!

Cobham is always the standout.
