Chris, your Mother and I, & sister are so proud of you. The Word says your gift will make room for you. Thank you Dave for sharing our gift with the World...
6:00 -- Look at the right-hand side of the frame. Chrissi, thumbs hooked in pockets and leaning casually against the studio wall, as she watches Weckl. The personification of confidence. Outstanding musicianship all the way around.
D.W has inspired many drummers..He fits into any musical set up and here the two great drummers have shown their greatness in complimenting each other..God Bless you guys..
Wow. Gave me chills. Dave is in a totally different relm. Love her voice, guitar solo, horns and back up vocals. The last note by the lead trumpet is the best part of the entire song.
+Roberto Andreasi When you got the best drummer ever everything just falls... well... in the pocket. I dont know whether to get practicing or throw the sticks away
Wow!!! I'm a huge Stevie Wonder fan and couldn't possibly have imagined that his version could be improved upon.....until today! Great production and being a drummer....to be able to enjoy Dave and Chris on the same track is HEAVEN!!!
My Drums looked happy watching this Video with me. Dave Weckl, my wife (RIP) and I thank you so much for what you do for the music community. Well, back to practice.
DAMN, this NEVER gets old. I'll bet I've listened to this fifty times over an extensive period of time. Energy level = 120% Performance level = 120% Showcased Drumming = no words. And that vocalist is so darned inventive, the subtleties in timing, timbre, effects, etc...superb. To my ears this is the pinnacle performance of this song, not just cover, but including the original. And yes, there are a few REALLY good others.
Dear Jesus! Dean Brown , Chris Coleman , Dave Weckl and Jay Oliver? This Is Ground-Breaking ! I still have the autographs of Weckl and Brown in my house.
This doesn't leave me grinning... simply raises my eyebrows up to the very exreme limit to and leaves me wondering ... just how anyone can come up with such brilliant and thrilling music.... with that kind of feel and touch... These people are absolutely brilliant
These people are true musicians.... they make your hair hair stand on end..... Which is exactly how true music should be... ha ha... All I can say is.... How can anyone play like this
You gotta be made out of a special alloy, to be put in the middle of some of the best musicians in the world, and pull out a performance like that. Hats off , Chrissi Poland. Impressive. Best studio video ever.
If this doesn't set your hair on fire you're obviously dead. One of the best studio sessions I've ever seen, they killed it! I think the people that downvoted this video were so blinded by tears of joy that they missed the "like" button, there's really no other explanation.
Yup, I'm so sick of having to grow it back I've quit watching. :-) Seriously though, I'll never quit watching this from time to time. For me, this is THE cover of that song.
i have SO MUCH respect for Weckl and Coleman right now. the solo / vamp section is no-friggin-joke. i am playing this w/ a 10 piece horn band & WOAH, lots to work out.
Dave Weckl is awesome, I've seen him in several settings and he is soo musical and always supports the band in the most senstive way. Amazing recording, mindblowing!
This is a demonstration of the discipline of pro musicians. Dave and Chris are absolutely LOCKED. Normally, having two drummers is a groove nightmare because of inconsistency in the space between notes, but this level of professionalism makes this is a masterpiece of time and feel.
I've always really liked Dave's playing. He's one of those alien level drummers who can play anything with great feel and groove. He's really musical but has amazing chops too.
Been a Weckl fan since the late 80's and this colman cat is equally incredible. Sometimes I think I take for granted just how ridiculously talented these guys are, almost seems impossible for people to play at this level. Truly incredible! I feel blessed to what musicianship and musicality at this level. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
As always, two of the world's greatest drummers exceeding one's expectations. You guys are a tremendous blessing to music. Keep on reaching for higher ground, and as always kudos to Stevie Wonder for starting this musical journey.
OMG this is the most proffesional piece of music and groupal coordination I've ever seen, they're all terrific musicians. And the staff behind scene made an amazing work too. Excellent job.
Man!!! that's the real shit. Musicianship to the MAX!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Dave and the gang for reminding me that its about playing with technique and musicality.
The collective talents of so many outstanding musicians and singers all working as one finely tuned group. Simply amazing and inspirational. Thank you Dave for sharing. Your recording facilities and engineers, your video capture of this session. You all have given anyone with eyes and ears a gift and I think Stevie would be quite pleased with your tribute.
So everyone is totally at the top of their game here, and Chrissy Poland just leaves me speechless. She has to be about the best singer out there. Just wonderful!!
Every once in a while you run across a group of musicians that are just plain stellar. This video here is one of those times. ;-) They are kickin' butt and takin' no prisoners!
Dave Weckl and Chris Coleman together?!?! Like a tour of Mamady Keita and Famadou Konate or Bolokada Conde, it is more talent and skills in a singe room and in a short amount of time than a person can digest. So fantastic, these guys are beyond words to describe their virtuosity and incredible mastery of music.
This is the best video I've seen in such a long time. Dave and Chris are perfectly matched, even though they're from two completely different schools. The band is off the charts, the engineering is impeccable, and the lead singer is absolutely phenomenal. Thanks for making this happen, Dave! Inspirational. Keep it up.
I like the singers voice but for me that band is out of this world!!! Stellar arrangement of an already great tune! This is one of the best remakes of a tune and I usually don't like remakes. Stevie should be proud!
Yes, Dave Weckl and Chris Coleman are complete and total bad asses... but let us not neglect the other cats in the room, too. Horns are incredible, vocals are stunning. Every.Single.Cat in this clip is a serious A-Lister.
Just extraordinarely spectacular and mind blowing!!!!! Congratulations to the entire band for smoking this masterpiece! Dave & Chris...powehouses!!! As for the morons who "didn't like" this...oh nevermind...
In the list of great drummers, it seems Weckl is often overlooked. He's just sick talented. Chris Coleman is awesome here, too! Great group all around!
I've become a Dave Weckl fan after watching this terrific video. Perhaps the best studio video ever produced. Every musician played his/her part and they came together as one cohesive unit. Stevie's eyes would have rolled in astonishment at the ease with which Dave and Chris just rolled through the track, Jay Oliver on keyboards and oh boy!! Chrissie Poland's voice sure packs a punch. She hits those notes perfectly. I could watch this video all day long and not tire of it. Superb Dave Weckl, thanks for sharing this gem!!
Who is here 10 years later still in awe of this masterpiece ?
Here 👋
🤘
hereee :D
👍
I keep coming back to this absolute masterpiece
How did the studio not just totally catch fire & explode????
Man I’m saying that studio should have just blown up after that!!
You are right sir !!!!
It was a very special day! We had a lot of fun recording this!
🔥😂
The sound proofing is the only thing containing all that heat so it must be some good acoustics
Chris, your Mother and I, & sister are so proud of you. The Word says your gift will make room for you. Thank you Dave for sharing our gift with the World...
Ronnie Coleman pure talent
Is Chris ever not having fun? I could just see him with that same grin filling out his taxes.
You raised one hell of a kid (assuming you're their parent)
I love his (Chris') face at the end, looks like pure joy, and bubblegum.
Amen match made in heaven
6:00 -- Look at the right-hand side of the frame. Chrissi, thumbs hooked in pockets and leaning casually against the studio wall, as she watches Weckl. The personification of confidence. Outstanding musicianship all the way around.
now this what shedding is all about period trade licks and complement each other while playing not trying to out do one another. I love this video
Well said I could watch this video all day and all night. Especially the ending!!!!
Professionals.
Exactly.
Must have listened to this at least 100 times. Fantastic.
SIX YEARS LATER I STILL SEARCH IT OUT. TURN IT UP.
Same here! I just CAN'T stop listening to this fantastic video! OUT OF THIS WORLD!
...and counting
So much talent in one studio!
+FesliyanStudios Yes yes... Bravo to all the musicians and studio crew
Tell me about it.
Need to shout out to the Brilliant JAY OLIVER, always enjoyed his brilliant musical lively playing!!
Is the best performance in history of music... Simply perfect... I'm always cry in the end... So emotional.
D.W has inspired many drummers..He fits into any musical set up and here the two great drummers have shown their greatness in complimenting each other..God Bless you guys..
I'm usually not a fan of 2 drummers playing but wow!
Listen to that touch and feel... that coordination and synch.... even with your eyes closed? You'll actually feel the music
same and same.
Wow. Gave me chills. Dave is in a totally different relm. Love her voice, guitar solo, horns and back up vocals. The last note by the lead trumpet is the best part of the entire song.
Came here for the drummers, stayed for that amazing voice
The contrast between Dave and Chris is huge, yet they so well compliment each other here. Just AMAZING!!!
Best studio video ever?
+Martin Andy
Agreed!
+Roberto Andreasi When you got the best drummer ever everything just falls... well... in the pocket. I dont know whether to get practicing or throw the sticks away
Could very well be.........
TRUE STORY
Yea
Wow!!! I'm a huge Stevie Wonder fan and couldn't possibly have imagined that his version could be improved upon.....until today! Great production and being a drummer....to be able to enjoy Dave and Chris on the same track is HEAVEN!!!

No doubt brother. You KNOW this took weeks of 100% dedication!
Yes. This fucking kicks ass.
According to the description... the musicians did...
You gotta be made out of a special alloy, to be put in the middle of some of the best musicians in the world, and pull out a performance like that. Hats off , Chrissi Poland. Impressive. Best studio video ever.
Duke Ellington said if it sounds good it is good - THIS IS GOOD !
Two drummers & those curling lips when Chrissi starts singing...WHOOW!!! HEAVEN!!! Thanks so much Dave :-)

AGREE!!! THIS WHOLE PERFORMANCE MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL EVERY-SINGLE-TIME I LISTEN TO IT!
i have SO MUCH respect for Weckl and Coleman right now. the solo / vamp section is no-friggin-joke. i am playing this w/ a 10 piece horn band & WOAH, lots to work out.
The musicianship is just "off the charts"...a truly amazing performance!
I keep coming back to this. Chrissi Poland is just... just... there are no words. Wow.
Chrissi Poland, as always strong voice and fantastic, looks like she's feeling every word and every note.
Ladies and gentle men, the legendary Dean Brown on guitar!
Yeah the guy is a beast on that guitar. He is killn em in there!!!!
He is a legend in his lifetime
I'm a legend in my lunchtime
Two distinct approaches with a helluva united sound! New fan of Chrissi Poland,too. From a drummer....
Dave Weckl is awesome, I've seen him in several settings and he is soo musical and always supports the band in the most senstive way. Amazing recording, mindblowing!
This is a demonstration of the discipline of pro musicians. Dave and Chris are absolutely LOCKED. Normally, having two drummers is a groove nightmare because of inconsistency in the space between notes, but this level of professionalism makes this is a masterpiece of time and feel.
Two of my favorite drummers in the same video playing together. I love it
I've always really liked Dave's playing. He's one of those alien level drummers who can play anything with great feel and groove. He's really musical but has amazing chops too.
My Goddddddddd, what a band, what a version !!!!!! I love this video

You should probably check out snarky puppy then.

Man, simply fantastic, the remake of this song it couldn't be any better. The singer is perfect. Amazing!
This why I love music, truly inspirational. Will be attending Dave's clinic in Stockholm July 4th, I can't wait!

Chris coleman and dave weckl together are overkill!! i love it!
Stunning. Absolutely brilliant. What an awesome rendition of a classic song. Stevie would be very proud.
The Grandmasters at work! Unbelievable as always when master Dave and Friends play along. Maximum Respect from Austria.
Great version !!!! Like that !!! Double drum set, like the Doobies, PUNCH !!! and the brass, total delight !!!! Superb arrangements !

Amazing Arrangement! Great job, great music and great monsters musicians! Thank you for providing a sing with so much talent and quality!!! 👋👋👋👋👋🙏🙏🙏
Every once in a while you run across a group of musicians that are just plain stellar. This video here is one of those times. ;-) They are kickin' butt and takin' no prisoners!
2:25-3:40 Give the drummers something. Dave and Chris took it! TRUE STORY: I can watch this video all day!!!!
Good God...SMOKIN'. How on earth could anyone top that? Incredible arrangement - and the performance?...there are no words...no words.
By far, the best cover!
Dave Weckl and Chris Coleman together?!?! Like a tour of Mamady Keita and Famadou Konate or Bolokada Conde, it is more talent and skills in a singe room and in a short amount of time than a person can digest. So fantastic, these guys are beyond words to describe their virtuosity and incredible mastery of music.
This is the most amazing version of this song I have ever heard!
Wonderful Voice Miss !! Powerful !
This is the best video I've seen in such a long time. Dave and Chris are perfectly matched, even though they're from two completely different schools.
The band is off the charts, the engineering is impeccable, and the lead singer is absolutely phenomenal.
Thanks for making this happen, Dave! Inspirational. Keep it up.
Yeah, completely agree :)
Wow, can't believe it took me this long to find this Master Tribute, well done all who participated, nothing but respect. Carry On
I like the singers voice but for me that band is out of this world!!! Stellar arrangement of an already great tune! This is one of the best remakes of a tune and I usually don't like remakes. Stevie should be proud!
I must have viewed this 100+ times and every time it leads me behind the kit and play even more. The talent is unreal!!
Wow! A KILLER performance of this tune!!!!
A rhythm machine called Dave Weckl ......and Jay Oliver ! Congratulation !.... God bless you all ! Sorry for my not perfect English :)
Walter
Your English is just fine. As good or better than many or most Americans.
this is badass musicianship at its highest. no wonder if it was illegal in certain countries
This music...It brings me tears to my eyes and orgasms to my ears! kkkkk
how can someone dislike this is beyond me!
AMAZING!
greetings from Brazil
Dave weckl is the best drummer in the entire universe.
Wonder how Neil Peart (RIP) would have handled this! Or Steve Gadd?
Stevie Wonder should hire this band!
Absolutly!!!!
Yer damn right!
I second that!
When the pros take over...
That's right!
I totally agree!
Yes sir !!...Just give them the resources and a good studio, I bet the studio engineer didn't have to do much !!
Love the arrangement. Dave, never stop using horns!
Man, I haven't heard Dean Brown in a long time! Awesome guitar solo.
Heard him, Dave and Doky....and a French guy on keys in Denmark some years ago.................oh my god.......they where all fantastic
Yes, Dave Weckl and Chris Coleman are complete and total bad asses... but let us not neglect the other cats in the room, too. Horns are incredible, vocals are stunning. Every.Single.Cat in this clip is a serious A-Lister.
I'm not religious but I think I just went to church... GODDAMN !
Wow.. that singer rocks.. Love her voice. Band sounds killer. Love the mix too. Weckl does it again!! He's the man.
Truly exciting and fun. Excellent! Chrissi Poland rocks.
The whole band is just amazing.. weckl and Coleman my two favorite drummers ever
The Good Guy of LA Moses G I’m a have to agree
Other than Stevie.... this is hands down the best version of this song.... Thanks to Dave and Jay....and Chrissi Poland slayed the vocals Oh my my!!
Saw Dave & Chris & Chrissy the lead singer in person back in 2016; Chris hammers the drums like a madman. Weckl is smooth & laid back. Great clinic.
Thank you so much for that! ...Awesome light & food for the soul!
Wonderful piece of art!
This line up is ,,,, smoking hot. I got to go practice. Thanks to Dave and Jay ,,, and this whole gang.
Oh, and of course the rest of the crew, especially the mixer(s). Fantastic.
Just extraordinarely spectacular and mind blowing!!!!! Congratulations to the entire band for smoking this masterpiece! Dave & Chris...powehouses!!! As for the morons who "didn't like" this...oh nevermind...
The voices are great, too... ¿who is that girl? What a voice!!!
I can't stop watching this video...It's Brilliant !!!
dave weckl and chris coleman together in one song ? DUDEEE, NOW I'VE SEEN IT ALL
In the list of great drummers, it seems Weckl is often overlooked. He's just sick talented. Chris Coleman is awesome here, too! Great group all around!
When someone asks me what will happen if they put the best musicians in one place, I show them this video. Now they do the same.
Two of my most favorite drummers playing in the same song. It is definitely a treat for both the ears as well as the eyes. It's simply orgasmic.
CHRIS YOU STILL INSPIRE ME EVERY TIME THAT I CHECK YOUR AWESOME PLAYING OUT. DAVE IS STILL PHENOMINAL AS WELL. GREAT VID!!
Impeccable. A great collection, too, on the album. Great music, great price, great delivery - well done DW and all involved.
Chris Coleman isn't getting nearly enough love! What a monster musician!
I've become a Dave Weckl fan after watching this terrific video. Perhaps the best studio video ever produced. Every musician played his/her part and they came together as one cohesive unit. Stevie's eyes would have rolled in astonishment at the ease with which Dave and Chris just rolled through the track, Jay Oliver on keyboards and oh boy!! Chrissie Poland's voice sure packs a punch. She hits those notes perfectly. I could watch this video all day long and not tire of it. Superb Dave Weckl, thanks for sharing this gem!!
I'm a drummer and I'm totally blown away by these guys, but the vocals are freaking spot. Holy testicle Tuesday she has a great voice
oh come on guys.. I can watch this tons of times and i'll never be able to understand how you made those solos! Damn!
Buddy Rich just rolled over in his grave with complete and utter astonishment at these modern monsters!!!
VOTING: the BEST comment here LOL
I agree he would be proud!
Exactly who I thought of almost immediately. We used to see him at every chance!
Dave Weckl and Chris Coleman! WOW! Amazing!!
