What loser would dare to give this wonderful Masterpiece in time a thumbs down. Such talent.Thumbs up always to the late great Tony Williams. Can't stand Haters...

I remember a story about Tony where he was asked why he played so loud. He said, "Why do people ask that question? They're drums! No one ever asks a trumpet player why they're so brassy or a flute player why they play high notes". I thought it was priceless.

Being so incredible drummer may overshadow how great composer Tony was, every tune is a jewel

I saw Tony playing with his group Lifetime at Shellys Manhole in Hollywood I think around 1974 sat right up in the front next to his drums. I had never heard anybody play the drums like he did it really inspired me as I went out several days later and purchased a drum set like he had on the stand what an experience still think about it to this day

This performance is probably one of Tony's best performances. I'm sure what I've just written can be debated, and argued over. HOWEVER in my opinion, I think that this is just top notch, one of the best. Excellence, class.. Honey for the ears, and I mean that.

Jazz with a capital J, these gents have worked long and hard at their craft. Great compositions and playing....they're also well turned out! 😊

Video in 2 parts, Part 1, and Part 2 :: Recorded at Chelsea Studios in New York City on 15 Dec, 1989 :: 7 tracks :: City of Lights, Geo Rose, Juicy Fruit, Sister Cheryl, Crystal Palace, Warrior, Life Of The Party.... [Tony Williams credited as composer/arranger]

Fantastic!! I just can't stop listening. Over and over again!

These guys are hard wired together, they just did a good job of hiding the cables, WOW!

Tony is the MAN!!I was lucky that I met him,,,Salt Lake City ca.1987.It was Wagstaff music in SLC.My brother and I were the only ones there?!!Got to see him that night in a small club downtown SLC...Once in a Lifetime event!!!(Pardon the pun)

Absolutely great, one of the best drummers ever. Thanks for posting.

Tony Williams was one of those few drummers who had the music "in" him, in his being. It was his purpose to manifest the pulse of the Universe. He's like a holy technology, in his precision and organic nature. Whatever he does fits into his "holy grid."

Good stuff. Mr. Williams front and center- nothing held back.

So nice to hear a superstar jazz group.....really awesome

Quel batteur magnifique que Tony Williams !

Tony Williams was great drummer. What a guy! Even Miles said of him, years ago, that Williams was his favorite drummer - either that and/or that he was the best drummer around, something superlative like that- and he wasn't kidding!

I saw tony sitting in with the max roach group in boston I think he was 15 he was great then.r.i.p.

Thank you so much, this inspires me so much! Tony Williams and Mulgrew Miller, gone too soon! Ira Coleman bass, Wallace Roney trumpet and Bill pierce sax Take care! 1

brilliant.........i listened to all of this ....BRILLIANT....thank s Tony .....you were the best!

Grandissima musica!!❤️❤️

Crazy man crazy..love Bill P on Tenor

La vidéo a été de 4:3 pour commencer. Espère que vous avez aimé la musique, et je vous remercie de votre attention !

Currently thinking through the earth shattering fact that Tony apparently used 2B sticks. Such dynamics! Such power!

Greatest drummer in the world!

Awesome

It's incredible to just imagine what it would be like to play in a band with Tony WIlliams! How much he would inspire you and kick your ass. The Miles quintet of the 60's was of course an astounding band in terms of all-around talent but in my view, way more than 1/5th of that band was Tony WIlliams.

I believe I saw this same lineup in Minneapolis in '89. I feel like it was around the time that the "Native Heart" album came out. Incredible! Mulgrew has some great records from this era too, and Tony's playing on some of them.

I loved every second of this performance! But only regret now is not getting an 18 inch floor tom from my kit.

brilliant absolutely brilliant

May he rest in peace...

I am a trader, a slightly high stress occupation, hehe this shit makes me see soo much, and relax. In one version or another this is on 24/7, because thats what markets do

At SIXTEEN he was playing like this!!!

Thx for sharing this wonderfull music that Tony ( & friends) gave us.

Tony what can I say? Man RIP. Hard to believe he is dead......

What a Band!!!!!

Beautiful Jazz....thank you so much for posting Crazy 8s Drums

Billy Pierce! Monster

Tony:-IMPRESSIONANTE-

Thank you.

The piano really reminds me of Ahmad Jamal on this first song

In one word, Superb!

Good shit man, thanks.

Thank you for posting this. Can never stop listening to Tony Williams

Bravo les artistes

Fantastic

👏🏾👏🏾

Pure excellence...

Any chance we can get Sister Cheryl as a stand-alone clip? One of the greatest tunes of all time; but its split in this vid and the only other version on KZfaq is terrible quality. That's a tune that deserves MUCH better. But hey--thanks for this stuff. Love it.

EXCELENTE............

inspirational

Epicurioso. Magesteriumistc. G.

Loud Drummers Are Needed. You Will Never Lose the Pulse.. Get It??

Wow 🤯

i may sound naive,but tonys snares always sound dampered,hardly hear the crackle of snares?is it deliberate to get the sound we hear?

After "Sister Cheryl" What are the titles of these wonderufl tunes?

King

❤️

Three tunes? Pt 2 :Crystal Palace, Warrior, and Life Of The Party.(Somebody posted the listway below. Pt 1 finished with "Sister Cheryl".)

Yeeessirrr

'Dresscode'?....not for Tony Williams . Playing softly jazzy ?.....nope ! Jazz drum set ?....negative ! Tony preferred 'Metal - Kit' ! Unfortunately his car was too small for a 2. bass drum ;- D

Yeah, I wonder if this footage was included in Tony's STORY OF NEPTUNE CD / DVD program that Blue Note Records discontinued some years ago? Anyone here know the answer?

I have the laser disk of this concert.

What's the name of the songs

Shame no one took vid of tony with allan holdsworth

Dommage qu'il y ait un problème de décalage son image.

not to beat the same horse eveyrone else has alresady said but the only great dummer that is also a solid leader that tony is be art blakey. lots of drummers have tried to lead but while they might be tremendous drummers they lack the consistent quality that williams and blakey. bring. there is a young guy--brian blade--who may someday enter their ranks

Bill Pierce!

Anyone know names of the other artist?

13:59 the homer simpson shot

Obama? 10:25 :D

I respected Wallace as a Trumpeter...but something about His choice of notes, and the intervals He used to speak... threw me off. Same with Mulgrew. I NEVER liked Him.
