i was 18 years old, when they came to münster, germany, to play the most incedible show, i saw up to my whole life. i flew 10 cm above the floor, without any help...thanks colin, ralph, glen and paul whenever there was anger, fear or lost, i remembered this music, and it helped me, to live on. til now, nearly 50 years later. no other music gave me such a hope, strength and love
They were so young and adventurous, the technique of classical musicians and the soul of jazzmen. This is really the heart of ECM and world music of the 70’s.
I actually promoted this concert at the Northwest Auditorium. My best moment of the whole concert was when Colin came up and sat on the edge of the stage and played an incredible kalimba solo that had the entire audience spinning around.
Great tender version of Icarus, one the the most over looked bands in the history of music. I saw them in the 70's at the Bottom Line in NYC open for Gateway with John Abercrombie, Dave Holland and Jack Dejohnette, what a double header to see in a club!
What a great preservation of a wonderful band in their early days. I saw this band in the late 70's in Santa Barbara, California. I've been a huge fan ever since.
what a revelation! certainly older than any other Oregon video I've come across. And let me just say, it was not hip to like Oregon back in the 70's. Most folk didn't even know about them for starters. Anyways thanks so much for posting this rarity! wordofgord
It was so exciting to see his name in the credits (along with other members of Oregon) when watching the Ravi Shankar DVD Raga Mala. Colin is WHY I ended up falling in love not just with this kind of music but with Indian Classical music, as well. I can honestly saw he changed my life. Long live Colin Walcott
@@cathytai ...Colin was a Friend, whom I met through Nana Vasconcelos when I was only 15, in 1975...Nana took us both to the Brook, where Colin played sometimes after Gigs...Much love, be well, Fox🌬💨✨🎶✨🎵🔥🕶
ayn randy I agree, it’s a sad state of affairs for many years now ... I saw two Oregon performances with Colin, and one concert of his collaboration with Don Cherry, Codona
It is not the same, but they are still incredible, but maybe that is because I came to them after Colin Walcott. The music though, is amazing, and their being when performing is comes through.
Terra Kosako ’70s Oregon, a fringe band with a folk audience, mostly ... after Colin passed the band moved more to the center musically and this was even *with* the addition of a S Indian percussionist(!). I’ve followed them up to a couple years ago and even though the music is played very well, you can’t help but notice a certain sadness that lurks now and then.
@@aeropilot4419 you kinda don't know much about jazz huh ECM? Ralph Towner? these boys were the jazz element of Paul Winter. Oregon was alway actually jazz to jazz musicians.
I don't know. .it was on a sunday night program that was called "new sounds" I think,and I recorded the whole show on a Sony Tape player just in case there was anything different. Yours was the track that stood out. The other stuff was a lot of yuppie sort of crud, I don't know by who. They might have played a Bill Bufords Earthworks track, but I can't remember. Bit.what a coincidence i kept saying too people you got to hear this guy who's name is Fred Simon! but I don't know what he's done!
+Eelbo Dominique It must have been, I'm sure...My parents come from the same town Seifert was born - Cracow. They missed his concert a few months before his death. Walcott, I must say - I was still to young to know anything about him, when he died. He was so much Oregon, that in my opinion it was simply impossible to replace him, even with Gurtu... How can you replace Jimmy Page in Led Zeppelin? You simply CAN'T!!! :)
Are you the Fred Simon who played Keyboards? If so I looked all over for that record that I heard on PBS radio back in around 1986 but couldn't find it.

Wish you had more of this show.
What a rare treasure! Thanks for posting! Pure magical show! This song takes you away!

One of the best live acts I have ever seen.
Ditto!

God I'm jealous

Más de 40 años de historia: son perennes porque su arte lo es. Qué belleza.
so remember these years accompanied by your music and presence. love this!
Not hip to dig Oregon in the 1970s?! It sure was in my world!

thewordofgord I saw them for the first time in CA in 1977

Gràcies a qui ha pujat a TH-cam aquests videos d'Oregon, els trobava a faltar molt.
Grans, grans i sensible músics.
Cool, glad you dig the track. Thanks for listening.
this music is blowing all the fears away, if you have the sence. tahnks TobiaMusic, thank you very much !!!
Thank you very much !
From Italy
What a great band and Paul (I play oboe too), is fabulous.
Ah, I found it, it was called "time and the River" I haven't heard this is decades. I'm gonna buy it, for real.
Oregon without Colin Walcott is just not Oregon.
What a miraculous band this is/was.
ayn randy I agree, it’s a sad state of affairs for many years now ... I saw two Oregon performances with Colin, and one concert of his collaboration with Don Cherry, Codona
Oregon with Collin Walcott was great, and Oregon with Mark Walker is great ... and is very much still Oregon.
De lo mejor
YES !!!!

What a FANTASTIC band! It's only sorry, both Seifert and Collin are long time gone now.
+Tom Rott i still had the time to see Walcott in Vienna ..so great moment

right
Yes, thanks for asking. Which album was it? What do you remember about it?
I was in this room on this night! Is there anymore ?
3 years on and again is there anymore audio from this show? I cant wait many more 3 year time spans to find out.
Are you the Fred Simon who played Keyboards?
If so I looked all over for that record that I heard on PBS radio back in around 1986 but couldn't find it.
... listen to Silence of a Candle.
