There are both advantages and disadvantages to being old. Though I feel my age at times, I also relish the fact that I am old enough to have shared mother earth with a voice like this one for longer than many have. Living in the Tokyo area at the time, I was at this concert, almost 35 years ago. I always wondered if I'd ever hear it again. Thank you, se146np for the opportunity. I have the concert "book" as well; one day I'll have to translate it from the Japanese and post it on line.
How I envy you... sometimes I sit back and just think what you guys were in for! Can you describe the hall, the experience, the audience, the atmosphere?
this is heartbreakingly beautiful. truly an open door to contemplative jazz. Jarrett has been working in this spiritual realm since I have been aware of his music. I hope he knows how much his music is treasured. Bill Turley
Three years after his great Köln Concert , two years after the great Japan tournee with five concerts (Sun Bear Concerts), but CD of this in Budokan does not exist - thank you for uploading this rare taperecording ! :)
AMEN! I can only echo Thomas Brunner's praise and thanks. I was fortunate to own an Upstate New York concert nightclub in the late 1970s where Keith Jarrett played for two magnificent nights that were among our best E-V-E-R!!
***** BTW, comments on this thread all seem totally positive: I hope my comment doesn't draw in the perverse poster who opined re another Jarrett TH-cam track that Jarrett was "overrated, little talented, pretentious..." Happy to say that his ignorant views were outshouted by dozens!
Have your best birthday EVER, Mr. Jarrett! You deserve it. This Tokyo gig is a masterwork if anything is. I've followed you since the mid 70s and am still intrigued by your passion, your commitment. Thanks for all of it. Robert T.
Jarrett may have a reputation for being a little difficult but when he plays like this you can forgive him for anything; beautiful music created by a master piano player. I have not heard this set before so thank's for sharing this.
I don't like to imagine how much recordings of KJ never will be published on CD . I think the audience all over the world deserves to get knowledge of every music he did.
Hi Dennis, I agree it is great to discover this recording: I did it today while looking for another that Shazam would not find. So it is possible you don't know this other breathtaking recording from live concert in Antibes, France in 1979. I have just emailed the radio to know how I can get it, today they broadcaster part1 tomorrow they'll broadcast part 2. Link: www.francemusique.fr/emissions/les-legendes-du-jazz/keith-jarrett-1-2-60326 Pure bliss...
The Almighty only knows! - whether in the entire history of both recorded and unrecorded music, historical periods of music that, pianists of the given day possessed scope in musical ability to spontaneously compose in real time, as does Jarrett. Jarrett must be the greatest ever to have done it?! My earnest wish is that someone out there better informs me otherwise and sends us links to such a celestial being, the music to whomsoever eclipses that of our most Musical Immortal WONDERMENT: Keith Jarrett
Dave Adams George Peacock I also love Jarrett above almost any other jazz piano great (especially when he played at The Unicorn (a [relatively] intimate nightclub ["concert club"] that I co-owned in the 1970s in Ithaca, NY, an Upstate NY 'college town.' The Unicorn wasn't exclusively jazz, but still, more jazz than any other musical genre. The owners and the audiences hear jazz concerts that I still remember fondly even today, having emigrated to Australia (which I ALSO LOVE!) LONG INTRO TO SHORT COMMENT RE DAVE'S POST: I don't know Richard Bierach, but I DO KNOW (AND TRUST!) ECM, which I consider a uniquely WONDERFUL label, ie. I'VE NEVER HEARD AN ECM RECORDING THAT WASN'T GOOD OR WORTH LISTENING TO! => For THAT REASON, although the artist/recording not familiar to me, I would still guess IT'S BRILLIANT! Thanks, Dave, I will definitely search TH-cam for it ASAP!!
George Peacock Brad Mehldau is one of the most similar jazz pianist to Jarrett. His solo stuff is very reminiscent of Jarrett's folk influence and openness to let the music travel anywhere. Check out Mehldau's "live in Vienna Concert." Really inspiring stuff.
Awesome performance. I wonder why he cries out now and then. Reminds me of Glenn Gould, not the playing but the vocalizing. It's like some kind of anguish. Must be the difficulty of playing music of such a high level.
Have your best birthday EVER, Mr. Jarrett! You deserve it. This Tokyo gig is a masterwork if anything is. I've followed you since the mid 70s and am still intrigued by your passion, your commitment. Thanks for all of it. Robert T.

That's amazing. Keith Jarrett changed my life, musically and spiritually and I cannot even imagine seeing him live..
It's still hard for me to believe, but I was in the audience for this one. Never thought there'd be a bootleg of it to hear! Thank you se146np!

very beautiful thank you 🙏💐
Thanks a million!
Beautifull My Song!
Greeting from Japan!
The pianist virtuoso, par excellence!!!
アップありがとうございます。音響の悪い武道館でソロをやるのは、今では想像できないくらいです。当時は観客のキャパを優先していたのでしょうか。1976年のサンベアでは大阪サンケイホールなど意外に小さい会場でしたね。
Everything about you must breathe life to be in such a creative space.
Keith is my favorite along with Bill Evans. So beautiful, spiritual, thoughtful, calming, creative, spontaneous and full of life!!
maestro Keith

I have just about everything Keith ever recorded including laser disc stuff and all the LP's but I never heard this solo piece. Thank you

Thé producer of theradioprogram already answered me: that Antibes concert is unpublished...

great, great great!
that must be a surreal experience, hearing the music again...thanks for sharing your story!
The encore is the best version of My Song ever. It's such a greasy tune - but when he plays it I can't say any word
Melancholy shores and strange tides, yay!
Gracias! crecí con esta música y la extraño!!!
one of his greatest shows - check out my transcription of Part I here on TH-cam! Thanks for the upload :-)
Thank you so much
siempre que quiero meditar, escuchando su música me dejo llevar...cientos de viajes, Keith,gracias!!!
i love you

Thanks to up-load.
I adore his music. Can any one tell me who else I may enjoy, particularly solo artists
Richard Bierach on ECM...get the EON record..
Dave Adams Thank you.

i wish there was a digital or vinyl audio...
Yeah, it can be heard that it's from tape.
Would love to have this in good quality.
ooh ah oh yeah
O god, another hammer of KJ! Where did you get it from ?

What instrumentation is he using at 22:00?
I guess it’s just the faulty recording
