OMG! I remember seeing that OGWT show when it aired. It changed my life! Can't believe how YOUNG they all were back then! Return to Forever were a game changer for jazz.
Thanks for the clicking, Dennis. I don't demand anybody like her, but just as you might feel anything you post is at least WORTH a brief listen, so we can understand a little about what you describe or rave about, the few seconds out of your life clicking on that can't have been the MOST wasted time of your life!
I don't mind her not being your cup of tea, but we all ought to take at least a SIP from each others' cups, now and again, just to better know our fellow members!
Yep fair enough too Diki!! It was one of the reasons I DID finally have a listen

Randy is truly one of the best writers out there...this is a version of his song, "Feels Like Home" sung by the incredible Linda Ronstadt...I couldn't seem to find a "live" version, but this one still is pretty nice.

I saw them not so long ago on their 25th anniversary reunion tour. They were even better ... if that is possible. And they played all the tracks from the "Romantic Warrior" and "Light As Feather" albums. It was pure magic. And the night I saw them was Chick Corea's 65th birthday. They talked on stage about when Al Di Meola first joined the band ... he was 19 years old then. I have Romantic Warrior on vinyl and CD ... and I will buy it on whatever audio formats the future holds in store. Just love that record. When I first saw the OGWT performance back then I was blown away. I had already played the album to death but was knocked out at how easy they made it look live.

Now you got me started flashing back to my favorite jazz bands from the 70s. Here is another clip from a tour I saw live in Australia. It was the Weather Report "Heavy Weather" tour. Total virtuosity. Wayne, Jaco and Joe Zawinul ( managing an arsenal of classic keyboards ) .

Here is a very good friend of mine that I used to play bass with back in the 70s in Melbourne Australia playing "Over The Rainbow" on piano. His name is Warren Wills and he really is an exceptional piano player. You must listen to his interpretation. It starts off very tastefully ... and then becomes a virtuoso performance. This is keyboard playing at its very finest.
