Uaaaoooo Chick Corea, Stanley Clark Al Di Meola e Lenny White four fantastic musicians. Amazing

We saw RtF around that time in a tiny Santa Cruz club ("Margarita's" iirc). The 'stage' was about 1'. Stood "this close" and couldn't believe what we were hearing. Maybe only150 people or less and they gave us a full show. Really blew the doors off. Saw Roy Buchanan in that same club. Times never to be repeated..

Nothing quite like jazz to impress the mind with the great potential of the musician and bring bewilderment that it will never be realized until a composer is brought in with a melody.

It was so goooood to hear this!!! I saw Return to Forever at the Jazz Workshop in Boston when Bill Connors was on guitar and Clarke was playing upright bass! Al covers up for Bill well, though! So good to hear this!

Saw them do Romantic Warrior. Such a grand event. Jazz Fusion shaped my listening style to this very day. Thanks guys.

Best jazz band ever !!! The greatest !!!

1974. What a year.

This is pure magic. Please keep posting.

La grande époque de Return to Forever...des musiciens d'exception . Merci pour ce cadeau.

Very nice recording of a very good band!

Thank you!!!

Saw them at Carnegie Hall 1974 (age 14), Beacon Theater (NYC) 1975, then the reunion tour in Atlanta about 17 years ago (?). Managed to wangle our way backstage with some of the higher-paying patrons after the Atlanta show. Chick had already left the building, but Stanley, Al, and Lenny were very gracious. Got a photo of my family with Stanley Clarke. I'd mentioned I'd seen them at Carnegie Hall as a teenager in '74, and he said, "Al had just gotten out of school." I guess he was about 5 or 6 years older than I was. Damn.

Excellent. Can't wait to hear this...

Arte não envelhece! apura!!!! Músicos maravilhosos, sem dúvida, e fusion daqueles de arrepiar.

Los genios de la música en un concierto a nivel mundial. Stanley Clark. Aldy Miola. Chick Corea. Lenny White. Dejando su testamento musical. iconos de la música universal. Estampa Rock Colección hace un homenaje a tan grandiosos genios de la música.

An hour and a half of four virtuoso musicians in a contest to see who can play the fastest jazz run. This is why only musicians can get into groups like this.

They're great jazz musicians and superb album.

Pure wizardry…that’s all I can say about it, except I would have absolutely loved being in the audience. Much, much respect to these cats.

I was there with my girlfriend and brothers. They to this day were four of the most gifted and fantastic musicians even to this day, now that I'm 65. Fusion music was at its peak then. Chic Corea was a genious for sure. I've been a Guitarist/Musician ever since then! I remember how incredible it sounded in the Theater. I'm still greatly influenced by it, and still mourn Chic's recent passing away. Bruce Mancuso.

Vintage RTF. WHIKYB might be my all time favorite album all time, by anyone, any genre

Yaaaaaaaaaa

Fresh off the road didn't have a chance to do a sound check, and or this might be a bootle recording off of the audio console that may or may not have been my guess is was mixed off of an augs send probably done on a Yamaha pm16

Although it actually could have been a could have been a Kelsey I don't know that the 16 have been out yet probably at Kelsey 24 that's not really a model number that's just the number of channels that had and it was a stereo with a four aux, I think each Channel had a prepost choice switch or it was a balanced control that would balance from pre to post, if memory serves but the hiss definitely explained by a Kelsey, but if it was recorded or done live in a board mix Yamaha then the Houston's probably from an amplifier we haven't heard yet in other words the Amper sign it's mic'd up and no sound has been played out of it yet by one of chicks many keyboards now I'm in the early days like 74 75 I want to say that Korea had three or four small amps I think but I could be mistaken I think it also depended on the venue. They're probably the first if not the first chance fusion band the first jazz fusion band that had traveling techs. My guess is check had a real keyboard tech, Lenny probably had a friend that he brought along that also acted as Rhody for drum tech, and Stanley and Al probably had a tech between them it's possible it was just one tech for the whole band as far as electronics and then Lenny had a friend who would help him out, I'm just guessing early days of rock and roll as applied to jazz

На эту рок группу повлияло творчество ИГОРЯ СТРАВИНСКОГО .

The band is great in the way that scientology isn't.

Why a sudden fade out at the end?

STEVE MARCUS FROM BUDDY RICH DOING THIS ON SAX IN 1974

The

Scientologys greatest achievement.

Scientology jazz...

Great stuff. Bad mix. Love RTF, CC Scientology notwithstanding... :)

They where good,but not a patch on Mahavishnu orchestra.Di meola v McLaughlin nah Lenny white v BC.nah.
