These guys have potential. If they keep it up and practice hard, who knows.
These guys are jazz legends 😂
Lol
They are a Jazz Legend
whoosh
@@herlambangtanosefren2350 l know, it's just a joke. Their playing is flawless and their chemistry is amazing almost like a single consciousness. Dave Weckl is my favorite drummer of all times.
R.I.P. to one of the absolute titans in music.
Don't feel too bad... he is with Xenu now.
Anyone in music Chick Corea should be part of their musical education.
It's pretty sad, that he belonged to this crazy sect. If not, may he would be still alive ..
@@naturesound2963why do you say that?? Did he avoid medical treatment due to the cult???
@@mrJimCharles I guess, it is always a lot of stress, if being a "Titan" of the Scientological sect with almost worst consequences, if not "running well" enough anymore, because of his old age, a lot of pressure .. and the many expectations, they for sure have .. towards a "Titan". Who knows it in the end.. : / .. I just guess something like that..
WE LOVE YOU CHICK!!!!
Rest in eternal PEACE.
Your face is so gorgeous
Man it’s easy to forget how good these guys were/are. Everyone of them is a virtuoso on their instrument. John kills it on electric or stand up every time, Frank has to be one of the most underrated guitarist of all time, and Eric is so often overlooked as a player because he came up in jazz during the 80’s . Chick is a living legend, period. As a drummer, I cannot think of Dave Weckl without a complete sense of amazement overcoming me. I, to this day, remain a die hard Elektric Band fan.
Right there with ya, totally agree Return to Forever had an amazing lineup of masters as well a tribute to Chicks virtuosity thier music lives on forever
Don't worry among real guitarists Frank Gambale is a living legend
Frank Gambale isn’t underrated 😎
I wouldn't say that Frank is un underrated guitarist. He is highly respected not only as a great player but as an influential teacher.
Now I'm just imagining John Pattitucci doing stand up
Pattitucci just woke up with a hangover, on a gallon of Red Bull, now he has Wings 😂🤣😅
Today was a sad day. I discovered that Chick had passed away on Tuesday (9th February 2021). I am saddened that a major musician in my life has returned to meet the Creator. He will never be forgotten.
The room isn't big enough for all this talent. Legends, every one of them.
They’ve talked to each other without speaking for like 3 decades now. All of them are amazing musicians that swing for the fences every at bat.
They played together in 2004.
I saw these guys perform the entire first album back in 1986. Allan Holdsworth opened the show. A fantastic concert I'll never forget!
Holy shit!!!
Sounds absolutely historic! Thank you for sharing, that's so amazing!! Chick and allan are my all time inspirations
I still can’t believe that Chick Corea is gone, almost a year has passed, here he is blazing through a brilliant jam session in t-shirt n jeans with all the youth and energy of a 30 something yet he was 78 yrs old!! He was only 4 months away from his 80th when he passed away! I’m so thankful to have had the privilege to hear his fantastic music throughout the 70s and 80s and his phenomenal genius on all manner of synth keyboards. RIP maestro.
Chick Corea is almost 80. Yet his playing flows like a teenager.
Same with Herbie Hancock. Saw him live last year. He's 80, looks like he's 50, plays and dances around the stage like he's 30...
@@Dublin_N Thank you for mentioning herbie. Chick is great but Herbie Hanson's music changed Jazz.
@@mrlofi333 Hancock bro
Because whomever said music keeps you young was not making a joke
Great cover guys!
RIP Chick, talent from beyond this world.
The best jazz-fusion band in the world practicing their magic, thx!
John Pattituci (Spelling) is PURE. humble reactions to his own licks... loving everyone's presence and abilities. boss.....
These guys are cold professionals! The Elektric Band is uncut and untouchable.
May Chick Corea play above earth and continue to bring joy to our souls.... A true Genius
Just look how much fun they are having! Great to see the old team playing together again.
John 👍😂👏👏👏
I saw these amazing gods in the 80's 90s , we all have aged, they have not only more scarier and making me feel even more inferior for my 45 + years of musical study!! Utterly amazing! This was a fucking rehearsal that appears to be back stage BEFORE the show !! Fantastically awesome ! Why hasn't Frank Gambale reached the popularity of all other guitarist not even half his skill ? I must have spent thousands of dollars on my Dave Weckl sticks over the years , im not even close to his skill level of just one of his limbs ! Thank you for posting this, you have been and always will be my electric /non electric MUSE Chick ! Love you from Detroit !! Peace
"Why hasn't Frank Gambale reached the popularity of all other guitarist not even half his skill?"
maybe he plays too many notes LOL
The patterns used in sweep picking sound pretty limiting and repetitive, to me. I prefer Frank's more traditional playing, esp his comping, check out Coming To Your Senses.
@@acjohn6995 frank is totally awesome - even alan holdsworth said so
They are very intimidating,indeed
You are right! Gambale should be in the vocabulary of every guitarist that plays jazz and fusion! Totally agree!
I had the HUGEST smile on my face the whole time. Spectacular!
This is absolutely awesome. Chick Corea is a great jazz musician and a powerhouse in the world jazz society! And Frank Gambale is another great fusion jazz guitarist. I’ve known his works since late 80’s !
Chick : Great American composer who - at nearly 80 - proves he can still play that thing ;
Frank & Dave : These tireless virtuoso players showing us that 60 is the new 30 ;
John : The anchor, holding it all down as only he can ; Eric : Laying back, swinging as needed.
I've seen this performed on video and live and it has never failed to blow me away... Awesome !!!
It's so goddam relieving seeing someone like john patitucci mess up lol
where did he mess up?, gotta prove that so it holds up in court
@@wurzelausc 4:12
His mistake was planned for your relief
Inspired by this video, I made myself a practice video th-cam.com/video/FwNOt1uZ62U/w-d-xo.html It's actually quite hard at 150 bpm. ;)
Actually, Chick messed up the melody at 4:14 .. that's what everyone was smiling about.. It happens to the greats, too! They're only human! ;)
Mw diverti mucho viendo sus cara de Patitucci cuando se equivoca en los obligados, a la vez me dio un poco de consuelo saber que tambien ellos que inventaron esa música maravillosa se equivocan y que son seres humanos como cualquiera.
Que maravilla de musicos, quedaran para la eternidad con su legado
I saw these guys play 'Got a Match' live for the first time in 1990 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY my senior year in college with my girlfriend. I'll never forget it.
The pure joy on JP's face while everything is going on, love his enthusiasm. The jam at the end, that was something... Chick was like "follow me, I know the way..." Love always to Chick one of the most versatile and inspiring people ever.
Rip Chick Corea...Thanks a LOT for your music.
Met Chick a couple years prior to his passing while we were both waiting to board a commercial flight. Sadly, no one even knew who he was. Better for me, I suppose. Had a most interesting, uninterrupted conversation with him for about 30 minutes. Super nice guy. RIP, great one.
Even John's mistake is just lovely! Thanks for the video master!
When John fails, I said to myself wow he is human too.
It’s not surprising. They’re playing this already breakneck tune about 20% faster!
I've seen them live some 20 years ago... They blew my mind. And made me want to play jazz. It's nice to see them back together.
this band still absolutely wonderful
Make it look effortless, smile even when playing complex parts, have the chemistry with bandmates... these guys have it all!
Brilliant chemistry with these masters. Saw the Electric Band twice at Tipitinas in the 80s with my dad & sister. We met Chick during a break they took out the side door while he ate a banana. We even shook his piano hands😎🤙🏼🎹
It's so sad that master Corea is no longer with us. However, it makes me very happy to know he played his amazing music until the end of his days.
Truly an inspiration. Really want my life to be like that, to carry on my music until my strength succumbs under the crushing weight of the oh so powerful entropy.
Rest in peace Chick.
Almost 40 years of experience together!!! Look at their chemistry... Don't even need to rehearse
R.I.P. the great Master of all time!! We miss you forever, the music lost "The Hero "!!
The team best!!! Without words.👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
The best concert I saw in my life. R.i.P Maestro,I hope one day Eletrick Band will continue the Saga of Mr. Chick Corea.
Love how Chick is still playing the same KX5 controller from the mid 80s! 🤓🙌
If anyone cares, here’s me playing mine 😎 th-cam.com/video/WnO3hc2Y4Rs/w-d-xo.html
The best all stick to what works. No need for upgrades.
Chris Godla Agreed. The KX5 May look like a toy, but it’s a totally professional-grade controller. The small keys take a moment to get used to, but the feel and action are very DX7-like, which is legendary IMO.
@@nofretzDW That's hilarious. My only question is: WHY?
Rick Perlstein My only answer is: why not?? 😂
Gosh, I miss the 80s because the electric jazz from this period was just so fucking awesome. I worshipped these guys They fell off my radar for many years. I find myself today listening to this band a few times a week.
In a room full of monsters, Weckl is the Papa Monster. Damn that dude can play.
Same thought occurred to me ! 👍😀
... and he listens carefully, picks up every little pattern in a second. And he's doing these super-complicated triplet-rolls without a glitch - amazing!
They’re all part of a superheroes monster invasion
Give or take his Buffalo Bill look
RIP chick 🙌
4:14 John mistakes Got a Match theme and he laughs his ass off! ahahaha that's the most motivational thing I've encountered so far. Thanks John!
Chick has mistakes in this place too :)
Definitely the last time john played this song must have been in the 90's 😅. But it was worth it just to see everyone together again 🙏
It's amazing how much grew over the years. The first time they ever play that song, it was only Chick, John, and Dave. I just love how later on, they brought more instruments to the song! 🔥❤️
que descanse en paz master, cumplió su destino, a dejado un gran legado, inspiro y seguirá inspirando a mucha gente, bravo!
My favorite jazz band with my favorite jazz pianist. RIP Chick, we miss you!
I am going to tell my kid that these are the Dream Theater
Dream Theater when they grow up!
Smart. Dont tell them about that other band that is doing music like sport player trying to qualify for the Olympics
@@rolandcr Slayer?
@@rolandcr dream theater is a fucking talented and good band but good bait
i don't get the joke
After learning Spain and playing that great tune for years I finally feel comfy with that. Now got a match ??? OMG lol love this man and his great playing.
This sounds like Magic.. Music Magic..!! Frank is flowing out the notes
YOU GUYS are all capable of pushing your musical instrument to its ultimate limit and beyond.......simply mind blowing. Just standing there having a conversation and making it look too easy! I’m a multi instrumentalist that hopes to be at least 1/4 good as you all. LONG LIVE THE ELECTRIC BAND! Chick- I love my new MODX 61! Light version of your montage. Killer boards!
Chick moved definitely to a latin jazz, the experimental electric jazz days are long gone but when you were a pioneer in that field certain things just stick with your being and will always resurface.
Good to see that the vibe hasn't changed, if not it's even better!
I was at the festival on this day and I can definitely say that was the best performance I’ve ever seen in my life!!! Got a match was played in the last of the setlist, with more faster tempo, and intense phrases...these masters were totally on fire. hope to see this band again in Japan!
Damn, awesome to see some of my favorite musicians here playing together again...love you guys, keep up your amazing work!
It's taken me a few listens, but I love the way that Corea's improv AROUND the theme, without actually stating it outright, still brings Patitucci and Weckl in perfectly on the last unison statement of it. If I only saw it once, in one performance, it would probably pass me by. But that gives good reason to the proposition that every performance by an improvising musician or band should be preserved.
I also love the way that every time I hear this tune, they manage to do something different with it.
I also love the way that they gather at "front of stage" for the unison lines in the middle section, in the manner of "Hey, look what we can do...." ....
I love the way that they all look happy to be doing this.
Love the way you guys play, so musical and so high level you guys are.
Beautiful! RIP Chick Corea!
The Perfect Band their techniques are absolutely on Drums ,Bass,Guitar, Keyboard and Saxophone
wonderful! only one word! when 5 fantastic musicians decide to play together one more time , all we have to say : Thank you !!!!!!
Yeah!! Thanks for posting!
Que gran falta le hace al arte musical actual , músicos de esta talla !!!!!!!!!
What a freakin super group. Every single one of those guys is my favorite.
That unmistakable look on Chicks face! Still the man after all these years! Thanks man!
Their practice is better than anybodys album with 10 producers
THE pinnacle! Thank you, Chick, for the incredible body of work you have left to us, and also for the world's best musicians that you mentored and developed. You were a true father to your genre. RIP, Maestro.
5:18 "wanna go eat".RIP Chick! :(
The incredible band playing with such awesome ease!
Wow, this is beyond any words........FANTÁSTIC!!!!
Adri from Holland.
Absolutely Amazing
RIP the great Chick Corea. Legendary 🙏🏾🙏🏾
This video deserves 100X the views.
Anyone who knows the name Chick Corea probably knows "Got a Match"
Most people who know the name Chick Corea know that he passed away in 2021, but then subsequently won two more Grammy awards weeks later.
His wife gave exceptional posthumous acceptance speeches on Chick's behalf.
Got a Match? :-)
RIP
Muito bom rever esses mestres tocando juntos novamente.
I'm so lucky to live this time. I remenber buying that vinyl in the store in the 80's. After in CD and them for my Ipod. Great times.
Rest in peace, legend
GREAT! seeing John Patitucci being human and mortal in 2:29 gives me a tiny hope to keep playing instruments. Lovely.
Grazie ragazzi !!! 🖤
Thank You boys !!! 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏻
It's pure alchemy , these magnificient players are connected between us and it's a real pleasure to see that , the evening show must have been unbelieveable , thanks for this magic !
ThX
people from other planets - BRAVO!
How lucky are we to get to see this kind of stuff..?
The greatest band of all times. Period.
Q: what is the difference, for a band like this, between rehearsal and gig?
A: 25 people on the Blue Note in NY
haha no
Some nights for some bands, that's true. Def not this band... th-cam.com/video/xGThuVarurk/w-d-xo.html
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're saying they would only draw 25 people, think again
Sic, just SIC!!!! We love and miss you Chick!!!!
hahahaha yup.. John at 3:19 imagine playing with him for 30+ years... and that is still the proper reaction to Chicks playing.
Mine Favorite band of all times! And still 🔥 🔥, you guys are amazing musicians!!
They will find that note I'm sure of it
Smokin ! I MISS CHICK !!!!
Guys, health to you and many years of life !!! Take care of yourself!!!
I was at the Tokyo Jazz Festival 2019! A spectacular performance that I will never forget.
Imagine how good they'll be once they're done rehearsing.
Pattatucci relays the convo to us mere mortals. Always amazing
That was fuckin' insane!!! Never rusted legends!!!
This is what happens when the stars align...the universe allows us a brief spell of musical perfection...wow!!!
I think more aspiring guitarists should know who Frank Gambale is.
i think more aspiring guitarists should not listen to guitarists at all
@@alessandrobonifacio9103 kinda true
True, aspiring guitarist shouldn't listen to music at all in fact
Frank is a monster !
I never heard of him until now. What a player!!!
They're still amazing. 😁
Another level 👏
How human you guys are is astounding. Thank you so much for this. I will cherish the conversations in this video!
I love this band, everyone is legendary 😭
The best musicians ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh, MAN! This is just so fantastic. I'm a rocker. Rock music has produced great songs with lyrics. Great love songs and songs about whatever, politics... But these jazz guys just kill. I love 'em!!!
Magicians of Sound.
Title should be: "Got a Rematch?"
Alfredo Guevara., That's a good one sir. 🤜💥🤛
yes!!!
Grandes !!!!!!! Jazz´ín in Peace maestro Chick ..!
