love how hard Gravatt pushes them, the energy is insane
Gravatt could channel that urgent feel very well. Mouzon had a more chaotic searching vibe. I adore both.
I don't think Gravatt gets as much recognition as he deserves. Extremely creative drummer who obviously deserved a place in Weather Report.
Eric Gravatt!!! What a musician!!!
Him and Tony Williams "played" the drums.....
@@charlesbeckner7657Elvin Jones too. More than Alive.
I saw this rendition/ line up in San Francisco at this time..Eric Gravatt was awesome.
Fantastic drummer, great sectuon with Vitous and Romao.
I saw this formation of this group at this time of their first release. In opinions this group was ahead of its time,but right on time.Eric Gravatt was a phenomenal drummer. In my opinion the best.One of my all time favorite jazz fusion groups.
Gretch
Eu assisti esse concerto no Rio ,no teatro Municipal e fiquei chapado🎷🎷🎶🎶👏👏👏👏 Ma 🎶Mauro Senise. 100 anos a frente. Viva Weather Report forever!!!!!! 🩵🩵🍷🍷🍺🍺🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🎶🎶
ERIC GRAVATT!
Absolutely Transcendent!
Wow. Weather Report. If I had to pick a favorite band……I enjoy all the versions of the band. Yeah, thank you for sharing this concert.
Music for musicians , it can be very dangerous for normal people . Thanks for posting this video . From Bahia . Brasil .
Dangerous....I like that...my younger brother said he tried listening to Birds of Fire after he got sober and it was just too intense.
Many ppl won't understand dis beautiful ass communication that's taking place on da stage. You're part of the lucky few that do💯🤝🏾
Okay kid, so shut the hell up.
@@jexterdorgon 😂😂
dont be so high and mighty my dude
Brilliant, it’s like watching I Sing the Body Electric.
Totally, excellent comment.
Yea, I know, now all we need is Second Sunday in August, The Moors and Unknown Soldier. Agh

WR had some great drummers but Eric Gravatt was the most exciting for me-a wonderful band, especially this early version.
Wayne said Eric was his favorite drummer!!
Vintage WR!! no doubt
Honestly, Eric Gravatt is a monster! I never knew.
He's like a pack of firecrackers all going off at once ...but in perfect time. Some of the juiciest jazz ever!
Whatever happened to eric gravatt??
@@madisondeans5566 I believe he took a job as a Corrections Officer. Wanted to provide better for his family. I read that somewhere , forget where. May have been here: www.weatherreportdiscography.org
@@FreeCorps1984 thanks!,I did find out he played with every body thats anybody!! Saw him with Mcoy Tyner on you tube in 97'amazing chops!
@@madisondeans5566 he was out of the music scene for man-years but came back and performed for years with McCoy Tyner, among others. Great drummer.
"the look on the band members faces as the percussionist Dom Um Romao played his berimbau was priceless, true masters of their art 🎵🎵🎵"
...this version of Weather Report was the first jazz band I ever heard live. Yeah. I was pretty lucky....
For me, Weather Report was the first electric jazz fusion band I listened to live, but the 1979 line-up with Jaco, Badrena and Acuna ...
They were my first live jazz band too, same line-up, in a club July 1973.
This video is historical.
This lineup was by far the best of the band
Yes !

Saw this group June of '72 in Boston. The first "group". Way before Jaco and Alphonse. Eric Gravatt was amazing !! I'm so glad to be able relive the night of my 22nd birthday. Thanks for posting !!!
Hvilken FANTASTISK genoplevelse. Jeg hørte selv WR første gang da de spillede live i Montmartre i København netop i sensommeren 1972. Shall NEVER forget!
No disrespect to Mr. Pastorius, but the discerning Weather Person grasps immediately that this is the good stuff.
Yeah Trudy ~ "the good stuff" Indeed!
..Wayne said his favorite drummer was Eric Gravatt!
Yeah. Couldn't agree more. The European avant-garde side of things still intact, fusing with American Jazz (Miles "Bitches Brew" hotbed seeds sptouting) and "World Music". Genuinely a Fusion. 🌪🌌🎯👌
@@robertmorrisey2317 Joe said he was his favorite WR drummer, too. I didn't know Wayne also said so.
Hear hear!
Absolutely deep talents and absolutely unique music and performance!!! Weather Report - Music and inspiration from God!
Great! All are High as the sky, but playing their butts off! Eric on drums took it all to another level!
That after vibe of "Odyssey of Iska" gotta love it
Thanks for the post very rare line up video
That distorted Rhodes sound in the first track... So amazing.
I hate it :) But I love some of Zawinuls later compositions and even a few solos. He was pretty unique.
Incredible performance, Free/Avant Garde-Fusion at its best. Dom Um Romão, Brazil Repraezent! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it!
Melodies within Melodies within... Brilliant! If released today it would be groundbreaking, much less almost 50 years ago.
What incredible musicians and fantastic compositions..........Thank you so much for posting this! "Orange Lady" made me cry........which I actually needed to do........
Two Seconds into video, I hit the thumb up thing.
This was the line up on "Sweetnighter", my 1st WP album, an old classmate intro'd me to WP, Billy Cobham, and Herbie Hancock; a most memorable summer it was 1973.
I saw this lineup summer of that year outdoors on the Boston Common.
They were the headliners.
Opening acts were violinist Michael White’s group and Maynard Ferguson’s big band.
Amazing group- “ We always solo, yet we never solo”. Great concert and camera work, recording. Of course it’s in Europe, where they appreciated this. Wouldn’t see this in the US.
I always found Zawinul an enigma- playing improvised jazz, yet an Austrian- Germanic background. I guess the German Expressionist and Abstract painters were similar.
Saw them in Oshkosh wi in 1973 or 1974. Sweetnighter album.
Love this band -but Eric Gravatt. just. floors.me.every.time.
Off-the-charts!!!
My all-time favorite lineup of Weather Report!
I just got a copy of the ""Weather Report ~ Live In Tokyo" CD at, of all places, Barnes And Noble!
The only Weather Report CD I own is "Weather Report Live In Tokyo" which is represented by this incredible line up!
This is, hands down, the best of all the Weather Report line ups!
I love them all. I saw three different WR rhythm sections in concert: Jaco and Acuna, Jaco and Erskin, and Bailey and Hakim...
@Steven Perren
Yes! In MY opinion.
@Steven Perren Listen to yourself
@Steven Perren Scary
My three favourite WR albums are: I Sing the Body Electric, Sweetnighter and Mysterious Traveler. This video is almost like watching the album, Live in Tokyo.
Kamau is my favorite drummer.
Everyone solos and nobody solos. Fabulous.
their best lineup
I big fan since it's inception,the first album was the very beginning..the 2nd was a nod to what was to become of the band.I saw this line up in 1971-2 in a small nite club in San Francisco my first jazz concert. They delivered brilliant at improvisational. Had seen many concerts in different configurations after.They left a strong impression on me forever more.
Went to see this band in Feburary of 1973 at a Club but it was over sold and could not get in. Had to wait for an out door Jazz Festival four months later, but Miroslav Vitous had problems that night with amplified acoustic double bass...great bassist, bad night. Thanks for posting the best of Weather Report!
This shows Zawinul playing much as he did with Miles just a few years earlier on Bitches Brew etc. His style evolved quite a lot later when you hear him on records like Heavy Weather. Interesting to hear.
I saw them in 1978 in Italy, but with Jaco Pastorius on bass and Peter Erskine on drums
2 anni prima il 15 luglio del 1976 al PalaEur di Roma suonarono loro e dopo Billy Cobham & George Duke band wow che serata e dopo il 16 via di corsa a Bologna per rivederli ancora, nel 1978 li ho visti ad Offenbach in Germania, tu dove li hai visti nel 78 ?
@@mauro18solitarymannelli73 al Palasport di Mestre.
this was the great WR...WOW!!
Thanks for posting this great performance!
I saw this exact band about a month earlier (July 1972) while visiting a friend in NYC. It was part of the Newport Jazz Festival, which had been moved to New York for a few years starting in 72. It was a triple bill that night: first up was the great Roy Haynes Hip Ensemble featuring Marvin Hannibal Peterson on trumpet and George Adams on tenor sax; next came Tony Williams (I'm not sure who was in his band except for a vocalist named Tequila); Weather Report headlined with a very similar set to this....a mind blowing evening of cutting edge jazz and fusion.
Outstanding video, fabulous sound, THANK YOU
I was a young pup when I saw this lineup in Boulder. Mind blown!
saw them live 74/75 still lovin them after all these years,awesome.
Eric Gravatt- the best drummer Weather report ever had. Period.
Zawinul's favorite.
Nope according to Zawinul its paco sury
@@jimbosteen2935 I'm saying Gravatt was Zawinul's favorite _Weather Report_ drummer.
@@jimbosteen2935 Paco SERY was in the post WR phase of Joe's career.
...heard this band at the Walker in Minneapolis when I was a junior in high school; came up from Mankato, MN to hear them. Let's say they made a very, very strong impression on this townie...
24:34
Thank you for this
this is so raw,amazing musicianship from greyhounds straight out of the traps
& after the hare on track one,managed to cross the finish line together.
vitous is doing some adventurous stuff.saw joe & w/r at oxford university in 76,
changed my direction in music for sure.
Thank you for posting this! Amazing.
Great upload ❤
Whoa! Great post.
Thanks for posting a great show... agree that the songs are listed incorrectly -Orange Lady starts @ --9:42-- and starting around 33 minutes to the end is It's about Time/In a Silent Way- how exciting to hear Joe play this on the Rhodes only, Miroslav is so dammed funky on the upright bass and Eric Gravatt.... man did he drive this entire set..... Gravatt was the drummer through my favorite period - right after the funky Alphonse Mouzon- on the Tokyo Live shows ( I Sing the Body Electric) thru Sweetnighter & Mysterious Traveler..... seeing this "live" really shows how intense and magical these guys were ....
Gold! I got to see them just before this, I guess -- since the set was similar but they still had Alphonse Mouzon on drums and (I think) Airto on percussion. The freedom, and the virtuosity of all in the group, got established already in these days, with Miroslav on the bass fiddle and Joe content with all Rhodes piano (for the while)!
Mann ging da die POST ab so krasse real jazz energy thanks for uploading, love you guys.
Wonderful-what a shame the original band did not stay the same for very long. A lot of fine musicians came and went but for me this lineup was the most creative and original. I only got to see WR on one occasion but by then only Wayne and Joe remained of the original band. Thank you for this fine upload-happy memories.
still love your music!!
Great music for great musicians.
Super Wayne ! Les autres aussi bien sûr
WR didn’t play around but around they played👌🏼
still love this music!!
grazie stupendo
37:10 the drummer adds an extra dimension to the music that is already in another dimension.
He owes it all to tony Williams
That is damn funny and it is also true!
amazing
outstanding
Dom Um Romão
Lendário! Detonando no berimbau.
Foi meu vizinho na minha infancia em sao goncalo foi o maior drums ainda com Sergio mendes !!

Great performance, the same as “Reelin’ In The Years”, dated September 25, 1972 and the DVD called Weather Report / Morning Lake by Laser Media
Great, thank you very much for this detailed song playlist.
Thanks Peter !!
Maravilhoso!
Crazy that this was only 4 years before Live in Montreux.
Incredible
Early in “Untitled Improvisation” Joe plays a concentrated and frantic rendition of his composition “His Last Journey” (original version on the Atlantic lp titled “Zawinul”)
Grupo maravilhoso!
I saw the same lineup summer of ‘72 on Boston Common
Opening act was violinist Michael White followed by Maynard Ferguson’s big band.
I was there too!
A WR treasure
Grrrrrrreat !!
THE BAND...
Miroslav on Orange Lady!
Miroslav here there and everywhere with his lofty brand of counterpoint - and you can hear him!
Alessandro de Souza AXÉ Músicos DE ALMA
very good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.........................
I think I'm on da right path listening to dis type shit
You are indeed. Check out Miles Davis Bitches Brew next, Shorter and Zawinul are all over that. Then Live Evil, or Miles' set at the Isle of Wight. Then look for Crossings by Herbie Hancock, and then...well, it just keeps going and going!
@@georgeneuman488and then...??
Every time I mention Eric Kamau Gravatt, people say WHO? Their loss I say.
Same thing with Miroslav . . . the inventors
It IS a shame no one knows his talent & skill !
Having been out of the music scene for years if not decades, kept Gravatt from establishing his name as he would have deserved. But those who know, know.
Saw him live with McCoy Tyner in more recent years, after his comeback.
Still great.
This band featured Eric Gravatt on drums here in 1972 . Alphonse Mouzon (at first) and later Peter Erskine and Omar Hakim. But my favorite drummer was Alex Acuna......
Chester Thompson was also cool drummer, I like what he is doing on Black Market album...and Erskin's favorite drummer Jaco(Peter's words), who is playing drums on epic Teen Town.
@@ZvonimirBucevicBuc Don't, whatever you do, spend aeons on a quest like I did to find a cover version of Teen Town with anywhere near the feel that Pastorius got on the drums. It can't be done.
Also, Leon Chancler was brilliant on Tale Spinnin'.
@@ZvonimirBucevicBuc Yes! I forgot about Teen Town and that tune was on the same album that Alex Acuna played. Chester Thompson was brilliant with Frank Zappa's band...a very good drummer indeed. I guess there's no one that's better than the other, just personal preference. The ballad "A Remark you Made" is one of the best songs ever recorded! I just like the entire Heavy Weather album.
Joe Zawinul once said in an interview that Eric Gravatt was his favorite Weather Report drummer.
It took me a while to warm up to Omar Hakim. I agree, Acuna was my favorite drummer; but that is also a matter of liking the material WR was playing during his tenure a lot more. Erskine was probably my least favorite; but I'm not demeaning him in the least.
Saw this group about same time. Second alblum just came out
Wow
This is the first time I have seen a Weather Report video with double bass. Miroslav Vitous is a great bass player but I thought he only played Electric bass when with Weather Report. I was wrong.
He reminds me of cobham for sure!!!!
💿💿💿💿
Tony William# would have been interesting in this phase, with miroslav. Gravett sounds much like him here.
this is the shit. Love early WR
BURNING...
soundtrip with beer...
OK
Anyone know exactly what effect box Zawinul is using here? Modern version?
Wah-wah.. For starters.. The book elegant people goes into depth on his setup chronology sounds like wah-wah to me..
Wah and a ring mod pedal i think
@@libre-tad6283 Yes Curt Bianchi's book is excellent.
All I can say is damn.
Seems a bit out of sync... but FANTASTIC!
What is Joe playing at 28.06mins?
an accordion through effects? what is it?!?
branching from bitches brew - my thought -
No disrespect at all meant by this... Early Weather Report was made up of graduates of Miles Davis. Even Freddy Hubbard was on the first record, right?
