...hi Guys,?
?
...just noticed another 'Live' Weather Report Album on iTunes
?
Weather Report - New York 1976 ( Live )
?
Firstly, the track listing is completely wrong...
- the listing follows a typical set list from '76 with Jaco, but the actual tracks run as follows
?
Track 1 is Drum Solo and is prob Alex Acuna (not Peter Erskine re album cover pic)
?
Track 2 is Percussion Duet Alex Acuna & Monolo Bedrana
?
Track 3 is Joe Zawinul & Wayne Shorter dueting into an early jam on the Birdland Motif - Bedrana plays the Harmonica, into Dr Honorus Causa - Directions
?
Track 4 - Blackthorn Rose (Joe Zawinul & Wayne Shorter improvised duet)?
?
Track 5 - Gibraltar
?
Track 6 - Birdland (?) They were not playing this in 1976, well not when I saw them in London in July of that year...so I think this is from 1977 or maybe later, there is no percussionist on this track, so it's from a different gig...probably with Peter Erskine??
?
Track 7 - Elegant People ( with radio announcement ?? )
?
Track 8 - Scarlet Woman
?
Track 9 - Barbary Coast?
?
Track 10 - Potrait Of Tracy (Jaco Padtorius solo)?
?
Track 11 - Cannonball - Black Market ( with Wayne playing Lyricon towards the end - it sounds pre-Montreux Jazz Fest Switzerland, to me, I take it that most fans have seen that Vid
?
It is mostly from a mixing desk, not an audience recording, but it sounds like maybe three different gigs to me - can anyone else identify this for sure?? there is a radio id at the very beginning of the track of Elegant People -but most of it sounds too raw to be a radio broadcast???
?
Any comments gratefully received -is there anyone on the air, is there ...anyone !
?
best wishes
