You're killing me! 🎶🎵🤯🍻

My god - THOSE were the days.

you took a piss with Jaco Pastorius? Yea right!! hahaha

@@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 :-).

@@vittli damn, he said that? Dick in hand? 😄 nah seriously I'd trade lives with you for a chance to have gone to that show. Fuckin beautiful

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

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.

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.

Greatest band of all time IMHO.

Hoy 12 de diciembre es su cumpleaños, y vine aquí para rememorar la gran obra de nuestro compatriota y orgullo ❤❤

Alex and Jaco melt together.

I envy you.

Joe asked me back Pirates Cove Cle.

just a little old harmonica player

picking almonds in the California sun

And they knew it.

zawinul moody guy, he could be mean to jaco, not here though

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.

@@willemsengers6017 wow where the fuck did that come from?!

alex acuna from peru brought all the cocaine props to him

Nobody is rating musicians.

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.

Jajajajajaja absolutamente de acuerdo filman al vendedor de canguil en el momento del mejor sólo de la historia

jajaja!!! es verdad!!!! te pasaste amigo!!

Es cierto, pero era la moda, un poco psicodélica de filmar con más libertad que los típicos planos fijos del cine de esa época.

Me hiciste reir jajaja

Truth...

Sublime, just sublime! Incredible line- up!

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

it s coming from nowhere .....Alex is a preacher on drums.....

Soon after this gig, Manolo Badrena, the other percussionist, was fired for "non.musical reasons" - wonder how he had messed it up...

Yep that's Alex Acuna. He's a badd man lol

How's your job at Kmart today?

You know they still make albums right? Like music is still music?

Correct

L'inspiration a son sommet je dirais, les musiciens de ce groupe sont tous des brutes, de grands grands musiciens.

Mostruosi punto di riferimento del jazz rock anni 70. 80

@@toourspeakingshadows WTF does his physical stature have to do with his musical ability?????

He's amazing. One of my very favorite Weather Report drummers.

@@bholaoates1542 Chester Thompson and Peter Erskine weren't too shabby either....

@@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.

@@bholaoates1542 Leon Ndugu Chanceler and Ishmael Wilburn were also outstanding drummers for WR....

We lost Joe too? Sucks. Did not know. R.I.P. Joe and Jaco.

❤

RIP Wayne

Timeless music indeed!

Exactly, the shit music of today is not music, it is anti-music..............

Jacob Collier??? Anyone?

❤

The "Black Market" line up for me!!...hi!..hi!...or is it the same?...

@@mainsblanches8793 No Jocko or Alex or Peter yet, but on the other hand, they are Weather Report. They never made bad music...

The greatest band ever?? fusion bores me!!

Blair Jones It can get redundant sonetimes. It works for me because I like to hear the virtuosity. But I am more of a punk rocker.

@@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

It sets you straight.

Sven Figueroa I hope you asked him for classes

Dang.....that is absolutely epic.

He's a good man. I hung out with him and Alex about 4 years ago at the musicians union in Hollywood. I worked for Alex for over 15 years.

Jeffbeck

9 is.

Alex Acuña from Perú!.

Unbelievable bass lines. Pure gold.

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

MinorThreat82, Dig that Ex. Large Acoustic amp. Mine is tiny.

You mean not slipping into schizzo/bipolar breakdown. Poor amazing man

Poor jaco bless them

ah yeah there is one here at about 5 min

Ahh me too, maybe near you! 🤩

@@toourspeakingshadows i dont know. 😎

@@dariosucca58 Oh ya!!! I remember that carpet. Man some zygote stepped on my fingers man.

@@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 :)

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.

donald drysdale . Indeed I will attest to that...........

I saw Acuna in an interview. He said he was Porte Rican.

​@@breedurham1288no, he is peruvian, other different thing is that he lives in puerto rico and speak like one

WOOOOOOOW!

Cool!

Mains BlanchesGentle Giant should have opened for them

ILove Music, Either way it would have been a good show.

I'd say he's tied with rocco prestia for being the best fingerstyle player of that era.

@@possibly8180 Rocco is the king of playing those ghost notes...Jaco just lays it down the notes u wanna hear!

Iga 27 not claiming to be anywhere close to this level... but I’m creating music in this spirit. Check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5l2ktlq2a-Xn4k.html

AMEN LGA 27.....................!!!

The 70s Golden Age of Jazz Rock,later called Fusion.

Weather Report introduced you to techno music?

Miss 'ya, Wayne!

+Xcorgi Nope, he wasn't. He was in his own time just perfectly, thanks.

Xcorgi mate people have known about harmonics on stringed instruments for centuries

@Wadsmitter the classical technique is different, classical is a stop and thumb pluck affair Van Halen hammers the string onto the fret at the appropriate interval, Eddie didn't invent too many techniques he just made the world aware of them☺

@@hughjarrse "Van Halen hammers the string onto the fret " You appear to be describing VH's "tapping" technique. Harmonics are a different thing.

@@rjlchristie you're missing the point I was trying to get across, Van Halen sometimes taps between the frets which gives you the note at the interval between the hammered note and the fret (or nut) below. The other technique he uses is tapping directly onto the fret giving harmonics , Jaco isn't tapping the harmonic

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

Exactly, the camera angles are just the bonus..............

It looks like we found out who filmed this 😉 good work.👍

Living groove

sigh ... Stanley Clarke, Chris Squire ... that old Jaco-did-it-first placard was tiring even 25 years ago

Brian Hammer 😂

Brian Hammer I’m a huge Yes fan, but Chris Squire is an absolute child next to Jaco. And Stanley Clarke-what a monster player-couldn’t begin to play harmonics the way Jaco could. Not even close.

Greg Adamson Well said that man!

@@grega.4556 Rubbish. Pastorious had a certain style, and that's about it.

At least this!

I noticed that too,. Love Jaco!

Right? Sax player looks like he's gonna knock off any minute now.

Indeed..Too much emphasis on tight shots overall.

Tu étais ou en 1975 toi, Jaco à cette époque la débutait...

Quincy Jones, summed the band up best: "It was a privilege to attend a Weather Report concert !"
