Lenny White plays so effortlessly. Cobham with Mahavishnu was so energetic and powerful. Lenny barely looks like he is breaking a sweat. Both drummers are amazing as the final result of how they play.
Most of the audience doesn't know what just hit them, nor do they have any concept of the greatness they just witnessed. Only a few seem enthusiastic. I saw RTF on Kirshner's in '74, I was 12 yrs old, I knew they were great but had no idea how great. Now at 58 yrs old I have some idea of how great these guys were (and still are) and I still can't believe them every time I re-watch. Lenny White continuously keeps my attention even though I'm a guitarist, dude rules the kit.
The greatest exponents of Jazz/Rock are ~ Weather Report Mwandishi featuring Herbie Hancock The Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin Return To Forever featuring Chick Corea
This is where it all started for me...RIP Chick and thanks for being the muse behind many meandering journeys at my piano . .always exploring little nooks and crannies of harmony, melody and rhythm..
Simply said this is one of the great performances of the vintage fusion archive. The production of the video is exquisite- absolutely captivating is the quad screen solo section which begins at 3:38. And I’ve gotta say I’m just a sucker for that bass riff with the perfectly harmonized moog - an absolutely Vulcanic timbre- Wonderful!
Jeez. I was only 5 years old.. I WISH I was exposed to this rather than crap like Motley Crue, Poison, and [insert 80's metal band here].. about the only thing that sort of saved me from bad guitar was Yngwie Malmsteen Rising Force solo album, Alcatrazz, and Steve Morse.
I could never understand Chick! He is the greatest exponent of the Electric Piano and the worse exponent in the use of the Pitch Wheel on the Mini Moog Synthesizer! Although, Corea's use of the Arp Pro Soloist was much better!

I can't believe Chick composing standards came down to this from the absolutely Cosmic "Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy" album!
RIP Chick and thank you for heightening my appreciation for Jazz-Fusion of the 70s. My favorite synth-keyboardist GOAT.
TOTAL FAN since 1974 !
Sweet god.This is beyond greatness.The musicianship on display is lvl 100.Maxed out.Amazing stuff.
All are fantastic talents and abilities I really dug this song and can thank my Uncle Michael for introducing me to this great music.
The Flawless Craftsmanship of Lenny White ... Holds it All together ...
Percussion , Beyond Amazing
RIP Chick Corea this One Hurts 💪🏽🙏🏽

Watched this five times in a row for real, holy cow, melted my face clean off!
Brilliant I grew up with this music
Me too and we were all lucky. Timing couldn't have been more perfect!

Beat that drum. I possibly learn more about the art of drumming watching this guy as anybody.
Rest in paradise Chick 🥺
My favourite band of all time.
Truly amazing, just pure greatness. Some people are just born with it and these guys found each other and look what happened.
I love the rock and the rip of Stanley and Chick.
I wish I was alive in the 70s
One of the great bands ever!
I love tunes like this :-) Crazy to think this was recorded 42 years ago :-) An Extra "BIG" thumbs up :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Эти легендарные музыканты,устанавливали планку виртуозности и импровизационного сумасшествия🔥🔥🔥💪
My FORMER Home Town..... My Girl & I went to see Concert THERE way after this one.. Good S@#T right here 4 SURE......
This band was awesome!
Quintessential jazz-fusionists, RTF (and Mahavishnu).
Everybody in this band can absolutely SHRED
At one point in the show, Chick stepped out in front of keys to play a percussion duet w/Lenny. Chick's a damn good drummer himself!
It must be played at some point. I can't recall not having watched this in years.
3:52 when Chick starts talking you know shit's about to get real
Lenny White's performance on "Race with Devil on Spanish Highway" is still my favorite, this is a close 2nd, and no less impressive
Lenny is such a beast, and so relaxed.
@@jfo3000 He looks as though he's thinking about his grocery list. Amazing!
True masters or their instruments.
These guys are the nerds of music. Frickin Big Bang Theory status! Amazing talent all in 1 place!
He does a duet with Lenny White, Celebration Suite pt 1. A quick drumline like cadence in 3/4 time.
Midnight Cowboy feeling
Does anyone know how he supports his mini? What kind of stand is that?
6:30 "Vibe (If I Back It Up)" by Cookiee Kawaii
Chicks left hand is way bigger than his right...and that's (right) is closest..????
What's the purpose of the mic'ed snare drum in front of Chick?
American treasure
The director: Let’s show everyone else but Stanley during his solo….
