One of the best things about attending concerts during the '70's and '80's was how much the musicians enjoyed experimenting with different sounds on standards and hit recordings. Rarely did they perform a song exactly as it was presented on the album. Concerts were for pushing the envelope and branching out to new horizons.

Many have no idea that this man is playing on the song" Cloud 9" by the Motown Temptations & that changed the sound of soul in the late 60's and early 70's. I played on the stage with him myself( as my mom and dad watched)along with the soon to be Drummer and song writer for the Jimmy Caster Bunch(Elwood Henderson). And on our break at a local club in his and our hometown of Richmond VA. He was with Motown and told us about 5 young cats from Gary Indiana he had done sessions with. Exactly 2 weeks later the Jackson 5's 1st hit came over the local Radio airwaves, "I WANT YOU BACK". And the rest was history.The bassist also with him went on to play with Bobby Taylor and the Van Cougars and then with Donny Hathaway his name was( bassie )Irvin Saunders and can be seen on the flip Wilson 70's show with Donnie Hathaway.Elwood and myself were kids of 16 years old at the time. The year was 1969.

My Uncle Don Myrick (EWF, Phil Collins, MJ)...comes to mind seeing him in the Pharaohs, rehearsing in the living room turned into a Woodwind/Sax Rehearsal studio, infused with African Incense, African Art. It brings you to time everything was real, not sampled. Instant creativity. I will be picking up some of Wah Wah's funky phrases...

No musicians were out there except for him sitting on a folding chair playing, but it didn’t sound like any guitar sounds . No one was at the keyboard setup and it wasn’t until the show started that we realized it was him the whole time. By the way we are all musicians. One of the high points of my musical life 😢🎉❤

Brings back good memories of college days and nights at UNC-W/Chapel-Hill ... Weather Report, RTF, the ECM sound, CTI-Kudu stuff. All good.

Growing up as a kid I always wanted to be Herbie Hancock because he was so great at this.

This jam sounds like it came of the Man Child album back in mid seventies.I was a teenage white starting college in New Orleans. The college education didn’t stick , but Herbie and the Jazz I carry to this day! BTW if your in New Orleans in early go to the Jazz Fest. 💫 🎹🎼 🎸 ⭐️

Love this jam, especially Wah Wah. I remember seeing Herbie open for Chick Corea at an outdoor fest in Tulsa back in the 80’s when he came out with the Rocket LP. Awesome jazz fusion!

@10:43 Here's where I started to hear Return to Forever vibes enter the piece. These thirsty exploring Jazz musicians from the early '70s onward clearly influenced one another (positively, IMHO). Joe Zawinul was also paying attention as were all the rest to what was being explored. Thanks very much for the upload Bob the Juke. And condolences @djcoolcliff at the loss of your uncle. For as long as we can still hear the music he made, he will never be forgotten. 🙏❤

Thanks so much for posting this - there's so little video footage of Herbie's jazz/funk bands from the second half of the '70s that it makes every new discovery even more of a treasure. If you have more, please post it!

Wow. This is pure talent and energy. I was a kid in the 70's and I thank my elementary school music teacher for introducing me to Mr. Hancock's music. I fondly remember sitting in the "listening corner," headphones on, enjoying stellar jazz, world music and fusion. It broadens the mind, body and spirit. Forever a fan.
