Took me some to stumble upon this here: Thanks a bunch! I've had the, here comes a word in its right place: Experience seeing them live around 1986 in Dortmund, GER. And what a trip that was. Me only being half familiar with Material (get "Memory Serves", sheer enlightenment!), a young guy with an amazing outfit (1986, right), about to study piano and sax, daytime I met some guy at the venue whom I didn't know, suspecting him to be a roadie, asking whether that stuff might sound a bit like Material, what's it gonna be, etc, and he asked me if what I carried around was a sax case, then, If I were german. Yes to both, so we went on in Krautish. That was Brötzmann who asked for my name and put me on the guest list. I was into New Wave and polished pop and electronics, open to weird shit, of course. But oh my golly, when these guys entered stage, first Sonny, ignoring the audience, plugging in, cranking up, raising hell... then Brötzmann... don't recall the order. So then there were 4 folks on stage doing some seemingly wild free-jazzish thing, doing mighty seismic things, and then- out of the blue, no visible or audible sign: All in sync, some elaborate funk jazz piece. And so it went forth. Beautiful and kicking arse and doing, what art should do: I was a different (maybe even better, yippie) person after that. Now watching this, it hits me: Of course none of their sets might have sounded like the previous one. I should have followed them like a drooling Deadhead. Lessons for my next life. Thanks again for the upload, for the gorgeous memories, for sharing the beauty! 🧸💕🎶🦠🔨
Love the improv on this. This was in the moment. Liked the guitarist with the slide really trying to see where it was going or where it can go, or where he thought it would go. Anyway, very cool and inspiring to see musicians laying it on the line on any given night no matter what because it is what they set out to do.
Ive got most of what Last Exit recorded either on vinyl or CD,It's the antithesis of pop slop and rap crap. that alone makes it outstanding in my book.Thanx much for posting.
I "Ask the Ages" , the muse answered @ 9:03 ....'Ma' Rainey came to Town, folks came from Miles around....they say I played with the three great mover of avant-garde, Albert, Ornette Cecil, counting Sonny, I say four r more....in rhythm
takes a lot of confidence and belief in what you are doing to go up in front of an audience and play like this... but i guess at this point he has been doing it for years so he's used to the dropped jaws
..Sonny was literally a genre of music all to himself. R.I.P......
Its amazing how his tone and playing sounds menacing but at the same very beautiful.
Truly, boil down his chaos into simplicity and you're left with beautiful music.
Sharrock just kills me. Black Woman ishands down one of THE great albums of free music.
Sonny was such a beast, and Peter still is at 80 years old!
Sonny is just the best in my book!
still love his msuic!

R. I. Peace, eddie van Halen
hendrix would be in this band, if...
Is that Brozman on sax? Wow!
Wow this sounds just like my local music store. Any Saturday morning.

Sonny is creaming the whole time!!
Only a fool disrespects Mr Laswell.
who let silent bob up on stage with 3 jazz legends?
Sorry for being late: That's Bill Laswell.

This music is cool, but there's something hilarious about it.
Does humor belong in music?
@@brötzmannsax sure why not
@@KevinHeaven9 Of course it does, Zappa always said so.
hahaha....i purely doubt that....
