Previously unreleased recordings from pioneering fusion band Weather Report playing live in the 1970s are streaming from the late Joe Zawinul's estate in the group's 40th anniversary year. This spring's 1975 Live in Berlin set caught the band beginning to sense its power over a rock audience. Live in Offenbach, from September 1978, features the band that included bass-guitar star Jaco Pastorius. It also included Peter Erskine, a shrewd drummer who helped reintroduce a cooler jazz feel after the critical hammering that had greeted the overcooked, studio-made Mr Gone earlier that year. Stripped down to a quartet, the band sound engaged (particularly the sometimes enigmatic saxist Wayne Shorter), and after the standard early workouts on their hits, they get surprisingly loose and open. Shorter exhibits Sonny Rollins's muscular solo-sax whimsicality on the standard Thanks for the Memory, and Zawinul's wealth of acoustic-piano improv ideas burst out of I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good, while Birdland has a bright, rough-and-ready energy. Pastorius's driving basslines thunder through the music, even if his solo spots tend to emit more heat than light. It's a vivid show from a WR period sometimes considered short of inspiration. - เพลง
Weather Report - The Greatest Fusion Band of All Time!
No argument from me.
Jaco's infectious smile as Teen Town starts, if only he had no downtime to get into trouble and just played music 24/7. R.I.P. to one of the greatest bass players ever
Peter Erskine's stamina and clarity through this whole set is beyond impressive. Massive Respect to the drumming sasquatch
AAaaahh so THIS is Peter Erskine!.. it's my first time hearing him but i know he's always been held in high regard
@@timematters800 Peter es una leyenda. Escucha su performance en el tema "Domingo".
@@timematters800 He's the best.
Indeed! I was lucky enough to see them during the Mr Gone tour. Erskine was an incredible presence - the muscularlity of it, yet supreme precision. And stamina! Was too young to appreciate it really, but it is still burnt into the memory
Yes I believed he kinda to busy on the snare in this concert, and he's my favorite drummer.
I'm sure people have seen this, but do you see that Zawinul has his right handed keyboard set up like an accordian. It's tuned backwards. If he goes left, the pitch goes up, he goes right, the pitch goes down. What really wigs me out is that he later plays unison lines on two keyboards. One tuned like an accordian, one tuned like a piano. I pointed this out a long time ago but nobody has commented on it. I know he started as an accordian player, but the unison stuff would wig me out. What a GREAT musicain. I remember seeing this tour at the Beacon in NYC. One of the greatest bands of all time.
+k m venezia That was his way of making sure his phrasings and improvisations don't get repetitive and predictable, to shake up his fingers' muscle memory - a musical genius and innovator in every sense of the word. Had the pleasure of seeing his band live at Royce Hall UCLA, couple of years before he passed away.
+k m venezia Beyond genius.........
+k m venezia I noticed because he was playing the keyboard with his right hand in what would be the bass register and I thought hello, thats high .If he plays further up the keys only dogs will be able to hear it. Joe was an absolute genius ( not just because he was playing ass backward ) and so was Wayne Shorter. I don't think there is another so called jazz fusion band that comes close to W.R Plus they had one or two brilliant bass players, drummers and percussionists at various times.
+John Barrett They had THE best bassist of all time, In The Name Of Jaco, having so much fun with his buddy Peter. Joe is astonishing, Wayne so humble, (making a band together just after playing for Art, Cannonbal and Miles...) these musicians are not really human, and we can easily say thats the best Jazz/Fusion band ever, with this line up :)
+k m venezia yea man zowbeedoo talked about the set up in an interview ...yea man he mastered thatshit from the day after he stole his first accordian
First time I heard Weather Report (on endless looping cassette) was driving with a new friend through the desert to Oregon in deep winter (1977). From the heat of Death Valley to the frosty snowy Cascade Mountains - Sweetnighter had me in a trance the entire trip. The magical music and amazing visuals are one mesmerizing memory entwined together in my mind like a favorite movie
What a "trip" :)
One of the greatest bands of all time.
I have seen some of the greatest bands ever in the company of the best musician that I worked with at Fort Campbell, Ky.
If not THE greatest.
Queen are no1
@@JFmK-sh5nh 1. Queen 2. Weather Report! 😁😁
@@JFmK-sh5nh why?
Dont't forget the incredible sax player, Wyane Shorter. He played that sax like the old days, fascinating. And he compossed some good songs for the group.
He has a funny story when first recording with Miles......Shorter kept a notebook of music he was working on -- and never let it out of his possession. During a session break -- Miles began flipping through the pages, asked Shorter about the compositions and as they wrapped up for the day, said: "Tomorrow, bring the notebook!"
I still like my life when I can listen to this.
Well put mate...
truest thing I've seen all day bud, hope you're well.
Yep,me too.
I still like my wife when I can listen to this.
Real music, played by real musicians. Shorter is easily one of the greatest reed players, ever. He says more with four notes than most can accomplish with four bars.
R.I.P. Wayne innovator, pioneer, and genius - he absolutely was the greatest ever!
They all look kinda short guys, which one is he?
Like Miles Davis, right?
I could listen to Peter Erskine all night long--my favorite of the entire pantheon of drummers in WR.
Fantastic, amazing band in its best version. Jaco Pastorius is an amazing bass player and musician, providing so vivid passages, incredible sound and mastery of the instrument. The other master is Wayne Shorter, my favourite jazz player, saxophonist and composer ever. His imagination, sound and never ever fear to take risks and to explore the universe. What an amazing performance!
To experience Jaco in his prime is always amazing.

Hopefully that's accurate! (/helpful)
+bjexpress Thank you a lot)
happy to help!
bjexpress I maybe wrong, but wasn't Gibraltar in the line up too?
Not that I heard. if you throw down a time for it, I''ll add it though
snartled I
Zawinul always seemed like the commander of a spaceship at the helm on his keyboards. Man do I miss seeing him.
WR was always HIS band
This is my favorite Weather Report lineup. Pastorius and Erskine...fuggedaboutit.
Sometimes when I listen to Weather Report, it feels similar to sunlight breaking through a gap in the clouds, the feeling you get when everything around you, for a fleeting moment, suddenly becomes clear.
Nick Norman I always think of perfumed flowers,sunset in the city,the smell of restaurant food,the different coloured lights,music when great is so spiritual and enlightening and my only drug is coffee.
Epiphony, resulting from a brief flash of insight. Momentary in nature. Elusive.
celestial
BRILLANT and the sun is smiling
Colours. Joy. And a sip of fresh air through a small crack in thickness.
40 years ago...this concert ...and still FANTASTIC...this music will never die!!
I'm a rocker through and through but I gotta say that Jaco blows my fucking mind!!!...RIP man...
He's one of the absolute greatest. Check his 2nd album Word Of Mouth. Masterpiece.
There will never be another jazz band like Weather Report - simply spectacular. They play notes, chords, phrasings that have never been played before. And perhaps never will again.
+Jonathan Pansacola Why should there ever be a band "like" Weather Report? Isn't the point of music, especially jazz, to be individualistic, and promote self expression? I see this same post all the time; there will never be a group like such and such... Well, duh, of course not. There will be something else unique and wonderful in place of... You got to let go Man.
+Max Brabner Lighten up, man. It's just an expression of appreciation. Of course there will be other groups with their own unique style and musicality. I just happen to like this one and used a common phrase that I didn't know some people will get all twisted about. .
+Jonathan Pansacola You're right, don't worry about the trolls and their comments. You go right on loving WR because they deserve it . They were one of the greatest pioneering bands in this music they insist on calling jazz. Every member of this band was more than just a memeber of the music community. Like Miles, these guys had a large part in the shape of the future of music. The Peace to you and go brother.
k m venezia Never said don't love it. Just don't judge it. Anyway, it doesn't matter. People have a right to their opinion. I was in a shitty mood that day. My sincere apologies to Jonathan Pansacola.
Check out Snarky Puppy ... not comparing, but incredibly talented musicians that can cover all genres
A once in a lifetime band. So wonderful. I miss Jaco and Zawinul.
Weather Report, during that time frame, was pretty spectacular.
It's funny how much Joe and Jaco got to hating each other.
I know it would piss Jaco off when Joe would double his lines...lol
I'd imagine everything Jaco did got on Joe's nerves
Some musicians are almost magical in their abilities, To have so many of them in the same group is amazing!
I was fortunate to see Weather Report while Jaco was alive. The first time I heard "Elegant People" it did something to me. That was my introduction to fusion. Thanks Joe, Jaco, Wayne and Peter. Long live fusion!
They were great!
Never been another band like thisl Never been a musical conception like Zawunul's. He was through and through a genius!
In every sense....Scott Henderson, the incredible guitar player who played with Zawinul in the Syndicate. He called Zawinul the greatest musician who ever lived. They used to play "duets" where Henderson would improvise chord changes. Zawinul then improvised incredible melodies over those changes.... so good you would have thought he composed them..
Shorter, one of the greatest of the greats!!!
Prime Jaco = No substitution...Jaco= A Legend’s Legend!!
Top of the top. Uniquely original.
You know i grew up in same neighborhood with Jaco. He was a little older than me. Met him a few times,knew his brothers Rory and Greg. I became a musician myself, but this music is great but off my scale. Ya know what I mean. The theory behind this stuff is unbelievable. The tight jams without a train wreck is amazing. All these guys were amazing. So glad i got it here it again in a live setting. Hey Mom Pastorious if your still here this is Kenny Cabral from the old neighborhood. God Bless
So interesting confirmation and document
Tell more please? We all know how it proceeded, and the ending. But how did he get up to that? I really hope you continue I saw WR twice in Stockholm One of three "best concerts ever" The second Chick Corea Return to forever. But Muddy Waters 3 times!
JACO LEFT US WAYYYY TOO EARLY
also I read he was a very troubled soul who didn't embrace his success and had a real hard time staying straight . But I guess that was his curse a emotional/mental handicap
Nice memory thanks
Getting a little older now, and I've been listening to so much crap over the years that I honestly forgot a lot of these beautiful songs that WR made so long ago. I have to thank you guys for posting so much good music on YT. It's theraputic and "fills the hole in my musical soul"!.
I know the feeling my friend. I'm "only" 38 but I keep getting back to stuff like this. There is good music being made nowadays, but it's hard to find.
I count myself lucky for having a father whom is still actively listening to these great fusion bands and has been passing on his music interests onto me. Who knows what I would have been listening to if it wasn't for him, probably some modern crap that every other kid goes around listening to.
aye, it's the mindless corporates who took over the music industry and think only crap that will make the most should be promoted, kind of stupid because it all makes money, lets face it, simple sells and as the world gets dumber so does the music but in an ever growing population everything has its place to be and if music was taught and encouraged at an early age instead of sports the world just might become smarter
Mens sana in corpore sano, a sound mind in a sound body. Don't really agree this whole music instead of sports thing, but I really think that music is something that should be encouraged which I fell it is but not everyone has or can ever get a good sense of rhythm and music. Also heard that pastorius himself was a real kicker for football/soccer when he was a kid and that it he got great support from his father, but this didn't make him any dumber or less talented when it came to music.
I'm 20, and it went the opposite way for me. I used to listen to shitty mainstream rap in middle school, then converted to all rock/classic rock/metal. Ever since then it's been diversifying into the progressive and jazzy realm. Needless to say, I'm always digging up treasures like this.
I saw them in Melbourne on this tour. It was an absolutely awesome experience with the amazing rhythm section of Jaco and Peter Erskine backing Zawinul and Shorter. Of course, Jaco was as much the star as anyone else in the band. The whole concert was awesome with an incredible sound system and an amazing start and finish. It started with all the lights out and some ominous droning music in the background. Then, bang, all the lights come on and they're playing Black Market with Wayne Shorter out the front. Unforgettable.
It's hard to wrap around that stunning bass playing! What a band!!
What is the real nature, the heart or the soul of WR ? I mean, how is the first, spontaneous feeling that we have just mention their name ? Could say we that in "one" word ?
Surely, there had been a "before" Jaco and an "with" Jaco (and also an after, sadly....). Jaco IS one of the most beautiful music sound ever - one of the most magnificent and astonishing human invention - and we all listened and discovered it in 1976's Black Market !
Everybody knows that WR moved from avant-garde to groove, a rhythmic band with two percussionists (and always on their top ! Thompson, Alias, Badrena, Acuna, Moreira and so). Jaco playing for.....three (melody, harmony, rhythm) one drummer was enough.
By the way, I wonder how felt Wayne (one of my all time favorite artist) with that kind of "madcap" on his side......
the more times u listen the more u realize how freakin GOOD this is!!!
I can only imagine what people today think when they hear this for the first time. An out of body experience perhaps. Live forever Jaco and Joe!
I was in the front row in front of Josef! When the smoke machine went off it went right into my face! Best concert I've ever been to!
A Remark You Made is my absolute favourite. Smells and remainds of our youth. Thank you very much for this music.
This concert tour was used to promote the Mr. Gone album which wasn't very well received by the critics after the massively successful Heavy Weather album. This is still concert footage for the ages and the boys played their asses off!
Mr. Gone was a killer album, though. I'm conflicted between favorings of it and Heavy Weather.
One of those really rare bands, not only massive talent but great synergy in the way each can be playing full out and yet compliment what the others are doing. Real giants to be sure.
Legendary.
I and my husband have listened to Weather Report for as long as they were preforming; they're music withstands time, like great classical music, and so forth.
Peter Erskine is such a lyrical drummer.......thank you
Also has an original feeling linear flow...
Superb, yes. He had a telepathy thing going on with Shorter too.
He'd have been more comfortable if he'd taken that jumper off though.
Y Alex Acuña?
@@aarthoor erskine has the body hair of a 55 year old dad at 24, amazing!
Jaco is the greatest bassist!
i love his sound
no shit Sherlock!
They are cooking through out the gig ,sorely missed music like this,origanal
Just amazing these guys. Off this planet. Been with me for >40 years, will be with me forever
Love how Wayne plays the part. Everyone else is just kind of jamming.
Sometimes I lose focus; my sense of direction. As a musician (guitar & bass) this is like a death sentence. WR is like my master class in music. They remind me of why I play and where I'm going
I feel what you're saying, I'm glad that you have something to go to
I saw them at the Beacon Theater around 1977, NYC. Definitely one of the most Fantastic bands ever. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wayne Shorter...one of the all time best sax players, and playing with such an exciting, innovative group in the 70s and 80s! I loved Weather Report and as acidfrogs10 comments, Black Market...epic! Who did not wear out their Black Market LP back in the day!?
The "Beatles" of jazz fusion. No one's done it better. RIP Joe and Jaco, "the professor and the poet".
Perfect description, I love it
I'm total agry !
But for me is an egality with Return To Forever : "Romantic Warrior"😉
Joe & Chick are gone...he stays Herbie
This is THE band and music alive as it should be. Wonderful!
This is THE line up in my opinion, certainly live anyway The rapport that Shorter had with Erskine was amazing; I think not having percussion highlighted the other players better; Jaco was Jaco. Zawinul knew these players were heavyweights so it gave him the confidence just to weave in and out as he likes to. The best of the best.
Absolutely. As I said, the rapport he had with Erskine was incredible. Listen to the sax/drum jam in the middle of Black Market from the 8.30 album - it's telepathy, nothing less.
loved this lineup yet weather report had percussion from day one and things sound a little dry and stiff here , they picked up a percussionist for the next two records bobby thomas jr ?
Had the great fortune to see Weather Report several times in SoCal. Along with Return to Forever, my all time favorites!
I had the opportunity to enjoy Weather Report twice in the 1970s. What a great experience. Wayne Shorter was awesome and still is! I hope someday to play as well. Santiman
Wow who knew that 27th september covid level 2 id be watching this stuff its purely wonderful music
You're 100% right, I saw this concert in Amsterdam and it make me a real jazz fusion lover. And of course I bought me a bass guitar....
Fretless?
From sticks on hollowed out logs to the revolution of the 17th and 18th century symphonies to Bix thru Miles and Coltrane, all musical form culminated with the advent of Zawinal, Shorter, and Pastorious. They were the summit of musical expression. The mountain has been crossed and we are the other side sliding downward. There can never be another Beethoven's 5th, or another birdland. We are blessed who heard it and got it. I truly despair for those who didn't. Rest in peace Joe and Jaco. Heaven is a sweeter place with your tones.
Mark Berthel So you like them?
+Mark Berthel Meh. It's great stuff to be sure but the pinnacle was Miles' 60's Quintet with Tony Williams.
+mark taylor Meh. There is no "pinnacle" of music.
+King DubMeAllJelly Fine. But I can testify personally to having heard what could definitely qualify as 5 million examples of the nadir of human auditory vibration in my years... THIS IS FIRE
+Mark Berthel Not only are you wrong, you are doing a great disservice to young musicians everywhere. Stop being so judgmental. If you enjoy it, fine. If it is your favorite work, fine, say so. But what gives you the right to say what is anything? Free your mind, and don't be a music nazi.
Super band I saw Whether Report 2 times ilive show in Milan fantastic and the Best bassist in the world Jaco 5 times! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️👋✌️
Beautiful, creative music from beyond talented musicians and songwriters. RIP Jaco and Joe
These are hard core Jazz guys extended the vocabulary. I can almost hear the lyrics from the titles of the songs through more than notes.
remark you made.......sublime..............
Likewise
Solo of Shoter & Erskine together, WOW GUYS!!!!!! I was blessed to see it Live and I'll never forget it. Talk about money well spent.
So beautiful to Hear REAL MUSICIANS play their instruments and for Us to Enjoy their talents and collaboration within their crafts. Thank you for sharing the Love.❤❤❤❤❤
Dear Joe, Wayne, Jaco and Peter:
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
Ridiculously-great. So grateful to have this to listen to whenever I want. Thank you so much.
When I saw them joe was not happy the prophet v’s were not in sync many thanks for the post. If nust for us old fans but also young musician s yet to discover the beauty and power of WR
thanks to all of you, immortal musicians! You have made the world a better place. Make music not war.
Four brilliant musicians at the top of their game. Totally unique sound like no other - then, now or the future. rip JZ and JP.
I caught WP in Waikiki Shell, open air concert summer '79. After 3 encores the guys left stage to Jaco who did his taped feedback and left the stage too. The music was rocking to crescendo and he flew over huge speakers landing on kill button. People went crazy, jumping on seats, falling on ground etc. Best of memories. Read Bill Milkowsi's book JACO, you dig? Erskine is right on that magic place, leading the way.
I saw them at Constitution Hall in 76. I knew I was witnessing a once in-a-lifetime band and a benchmark in my musical background. Just awesome.
Jaco, the greatest of them all.
I was a bit too young to be into this stuff when it was current, but I'm sure enjoying discovering it all now.
Same here buddy!
not everybody knew about it then, any more than now.
Back in 1975 - 76 I was turned on to Weather Report: Black Market , Return to Forever: Romantic Warrior, and Jeff Beck Blow by Blow. What a wonderful summer!!This is an incredible concert. So glad you posted... and I found.
+Harold Terranova (HaroldT101) I lived in Philly in '76....You're correct....what a wonderful summer....!!!! The Bi-Centennial, the Phillies winning the pennant....!!!!
Hi Harold, funny - same triumvirate for me, same year ! Lucky enough later to see them all live. And Miles.
See my reply to Judasmack
JACO - gifted player , troubled soul .
The Pursuit of the Woman in the Feathered Hat - wow!
Jaco, one of the best voices of our generation
Jacoooo! WR was a great band that made wonderful music. And that bass! I love Jaco´s sound and playing. He was one of the greatest bass players ever. What a beautiful sound he had. And his timing and fills was stunning great! Awesome!!
Fusion music was ambitious But a lot of try-outs and easy to fail with it. So these masters sticks out to save it
I am 65 and believe i have lived in the best of times for music.I listen to all genders of music, all the greats are fading away what a shame. but thats life.
They play as a cohesive unit...bravo possibly the greatest "fusion" group ever
Excellent live version of "A Remark You Made". I started to appreciate the individual phrasing of this song on the album later in life. This live interpretation is no different.
Jaco's solo with those passages from "Bésame Mucho" is simply amazing.
'which minute?
From it's very beginning, 51:55, there are excerpts from Velázquez's tune here and there.
Weather Report in a class by themselves
Can't be duplicated
Under any circumstances or any precipitation conditions
I was blessed to spend 8hrs with Jaco when they came to upstate NY when they stay at the Marriott hotel where I work at in July 81...One of the greatest jazz fusion band ever !!
@Luka Meah I understand...that day I met him he was in good spirits good health he was with his wife who flagged me down to meet Jaco it was almost like it was meant only for me that day being I also play bass.The second time I saw him was in 83 he came with his own band at a club down the street from the Marriott he was in that same condition u saw him in falling all over the stage grabbing his band members instruments playing them flawlessly which was sad to see but blew everybody away at the same time!
Best freedom ever seen ! Jaco is best !
This never gets old!
Incredible always listening to Weather Report!! The one and only!!
THANK GOD SOMEONE FILMED THIS !!! 🙏
I have been listening to Carlos Santana's autobiography, "Universal Tone" and have learned a lot about what music inspired him. Weather report is probably his #1. As mentioned in his book several times, "Still learning and having fun!"
I loved the freedom in all their music!
He was certainly a master of the multi keyboard set up. that was the the way it was done back then. In rock you had Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson, In Jazz there was Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and of course Joe Zawinul. Zawinul though was unique among all of these and maybe the best at using his two hands almost independently. I was lucky enough to see them play on multiple occasions. The first time I ever heard of Jaco was at a Weather Report Concert. They were touring with Shakti as their opening act. (what a night). Never noticed that the tuning on the keyboard to his right was different. As I watch this I'm not convince it was, but if anyone was capable of doing it, it's JZ.
just one of the most influence jazz band ever! amazing! Tks
Top notch live preformance, Joe, Jaco, Wayne, and Peter on top of their game here.
Other fusion bands of the era may have been more technically flamboyant, but this band had the songwriting strength that proved durable. And Shorter goes without saying.
Oh man! They were great.
I was lucky enough to see them about a month before this at the Santa Monica Civic Center with a high school friend and my younger brother.
Zawinul+Pastorius = pure musical magic
listening to Jaco's percolating style is like looking down into a whirlpool at the center of a cluster of river rapids.The bubbles form by the hundreds, rise to the surface in a glittering silvery bouquet and split off in a hundred different channels. Of course that's all in the first minute.
One of if not THE BEST SHOW🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉EVA❤
I grew up on Weather Report... This is a great recording of a great band and great performance. THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Jaco's vocalizing on Birdland is pretty amazing too.
the
The dust under the stage here has more talent and genius than a hundred Kanyes.
What's a Kanye? is that like a Beeber?
Robert Hansen apparently it’s a presidential candidate 😂😂
GENIOS
This is just.... sunset in the desert... bliss...
One of the best concerts! So clear and grand! Thank you to that Weather Report team and thank you Gabriel
Weather Report was one of the very few groups I missed seeing live. And I attended concerts every other weekend. I'd catch a live concert, then off weekends I'd buy records and comic books. Everyone felt I was wasting time and money. As it turned out, this became a very profitable ritual. Not only did I see concerts that can never be replicated, but the collections became enormous financial assets. Someone recently paid my brother $3000 for a book I bought for .50 cents! Unfortunately, my albums have yet to increase in value. WR is the FF of the music world.
You are right. A Jaco and Josef friend explain it to me. He ask the arp techician to add a switch to inverse the keyboard. You can see it in a Josef Zawinul Sindicate where he take that switch and turn over the keyboard and start to playing from the back. Excuse my english. I speak Spanish. The Jaco's Friend is Peter Rabek. You can meet him in Facebook.
One of the best WR live vids. Wayne is especially fluent throughout. A refreshing take on the album's original cuts. Electric jazz bliss!!!
