I know this vid is more about Jaco, but I was just as enthralled by Joe Zawinul's genius. One of the few musicians who were not intimidated playing with Miles Davis. In an interview in the early days of Weather Report, Joe was asked how it felt to play with Miles; Joe's answer was "Why don't you ask him how it felt to play with me"? No brag, just fact; Joe was every bit Miles' equal!

This is a big part of why the 70s were the greatest decade for music. We had jazz, funk, jazz fusion, prog, psychedelic, medieval-classical, hard rock, Gaelic and Welsh rock, and so many shades of "experimental" that didn't fit into any category at all. This was the decade of Zappa, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Weather Report, Stanley Clarke, Jean Luc Ponty and Parliament. Etc. Sure, the 60s were fun, and lots of great music has been made after 1980, but there was never a decade for music like the 70s. Where's my TARDIS?

But almost every album and performance featured a percussionist, except 8:30, which I believe is a document of this tour. And yes, they were phenomenal in Toronto…did I mention I was 16 years old, in the second row at Convocation Hall.
