I've been trying for years to find out what became of the master for this recording. Last year I attended a concert by Gap and asked him. He said "Nobody knows what happened to the master." My LP was played to death long ago - my thanks to Russ Childers for posting this. If anyone knows of the fate of the master, please speak up; this needs to be digitized and released.
Per Wikipedia "Chuck Mangione was among hundreds [if not thousands, if you check out the old-school smaller labels of musician materials that Universal had been snapping up] of artists whose material was destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire." Universal has taken years to let folks know just how devastating a loss this has been, trying to "quietly" go around and find the next closest thing to master tapes, etc, etc, etc... with very limited success. Obviously. If the master tapes and original recordings were destroyed from the more popular artists of the day that Universal had in storage, then most of the remaining 40, 50, 60 and 70 year old+ non-master/original recording singles & album materials from these artists are no longer in the best condition, if available anywhere else, as it is. And certainly not of "Master-tape" quality. An absolutely tragic loss.
We owe it to Gerry, and to those who loved him. That applause break at the end of "Legacy" is one of my all time favorite, the way it rolls out so warmly. You can feel the love.
I sat on the edge of my cot with a small package from my wife. I just returned from a full day of flying missions over the jungles of south Vietnam and my flight suit still stuck to me as I opened the package. It contained a cassette which I put on my player while reading her words that came to me from the world. She shared our love for music and thought this album would be helpful in the stressful place I was at the time. Even today at age 76 it still has the same calming affect.
My introduction to Chuck Mangione was in third grade. He was a student at Eastman School of music. While a student he gave instrumental music lessons at my elementary school Holy Trinity in Webster, NY. Then while in R L Thomas HS in Webster I went to his friends and Love Concert. He came to perform at our school. I interviewed him. We had a television station at our school and I co-anchored our daily show Update. I am only five feet tall and as I walked down the hall w/him we were eye level. That doesn't happen to me that often. But talking to him he was a giant. I just love his music. Don Potter and Bat McGrath were also popular at that time. They had a coffee house many of us attended. They also came to our school to perform. Such wonderful talent we were surround with.
I love this album! My dad had it and I learned to love it. I am 71 now and have a copy of it but would buy a remastered CD in a moment. Sixty Miles Young and Hill Where The Lord Hides are my favorites.
Thankfully, I bought a new copy of this album when I found it again in the late 1980s. Found it in an record store in the original wrapper. I played my original copy to death...and still have the new one in pretty damn good shape. It is a shame that the master is lost.
Watched this concert at the time (1971). It was incredible! The album captures the spirit & the incredibly creative musical personality of Chuck Mangione, and he had wonderful musicians and singers on board too. It's sad that this double album never received the appreciation of which it is so deserving.
I had the privilege of seeing the full concert on PBS television back in 1972. I enjoyed the concert and I bought the album and started collecting Chuck Mangione's albums and going to his live concerts.
This music is beyond wonderful. I grew up in Rochester and I'm sure I heard Chuck Mangione once, live, at the Eastman, along with Chick Corea. I graduated high school in 1965, so it was probably before that. Thank you for posting!!
This concert, music and album is a gem in my heart. I am 64years old now and when I was a young teenager i remember this music playing on the radio as i was always traveling with my grandparents from outside Buffalo New York, a place Dunkirk NY to the Adirondacks on the wide open NY Thruway. It is very smooth and relaxing. Some very warm and great memories as a young teen. Hearing this music brings me to that time right now. And it was summer 1971. Golden !
My first introduction to Chuck Mangione was this concert in it's entirety shown on PBS in 1972. It was only a few weeks later the same station aired the Friends And love concert. From then on, I've been a fan for life. Saw him twice in concert with full orchestra along with Don Potter, Esther Satterfield, and everyone else from the original shows. Three times more with just his quartet (Neiwood, DiBartolo and Joe LaBarbara) at The Lighthouse, all In Los Angeles. I was able to purchase a copy of The Friends And Love DVD off of Chuck's website but this concert just doesn't exist on audio or video. What a damn shame. At least I was able to commit the two concert albums to digital and burn them on CD. That was an awsome time to be alive and witness this music live.
I've seen dozens of copies of this album at thrift stores and garage sales around the Rochester, NY area over the years. I actually have 3 copies in my collection. Firewatchers is the first song I remember ever hearing as a child. My mom would play this, Herb & Hugh's "Main Event Live", and Herbie Hancocks "Headhunters"/"Sextant" literally back to back.
Thanks, I have all the commercially available recorded material as well as some of the bootlegs that are now on TH-cam. But I’m always looking for new sources.
I have this on Vinyl as well... it's raggedy. Thank you for this. I'm from Rochester. My dad and my Mom went to see this live at the Eastman Theatre. Don't know why I didn't go. I LOVE THIS ALBUM and Esther Satterfield, Don Potter, and Al Porcino who I worked with in Munich in '87. I didn't know at the time that he played on the great family favorite Album. Thank You for the recording and post. This is friggin fifty years old this year. Yup... because I just turned ugh... 59.
My father found out about Chuck while we lived in North Tonawanda in the late 60s and early 70s. We had this Together double album, Chase the Clouds Away, The Land of Make Believe, and Feels So Good. Later on I borrowed The Children of Sanchez from the library. It's incredible that Chuck had his songs slightly rearranged for marching bands - but on second thought they are so powerful, they are natural for "build ... build ... build ... explode!" Also, I am 56, and saw Chuck "in the round at Melody Fair" in Tonawanda.
Many thanks for posting! After many years of searching this is the only place I found this Chuck Mangione gem. Legacy is among my CM favorites. Thanks again!
long ago I used to have this recording on audio tape I really like Firewatchers nice and relaxing no version of Hill Where The Lord Hides is as nice as the original version which is the very best
Great live album so soothing! Had years ago on case rte and played a ton. Found a copy of the double album on vinyl. One disc clean the other scratched up so glad it’s on here!
This album contains the BEST versions of all of these songs. The Hollywood Bowl concert--another recorded live performance--is a big disappointment compared to this. Everything seems to have been working that night. All of the musicians and Esther Satterfield were in top form, and the recording quality is superb. I played this to death when it first came out.
I have an LP of this. On the out chorus of Freddie’s Walkin’, it sounds like the plug was pulled when they cut the vinyl, and it slows down to nothing! (Collector’s Item?)
Wow, every time Chuck gets together with a few of his friends good stuff happens. Don Potter was his normal amazing self , on Freddie's walk in. I would have preferred a less static, but I love it all.
la grabacion esta rompiendo el nivel de entrada con distorsion. O es otra cosa pero rompe y no se escucha bien. Podrias arreglarlo? Igualmente gracias, es un buen album para conocer. Saludos
The record was pressed using a mix which was too loud and created clipping/distortion. I made sure to transfer it to wav/mp3 at a level which did not add distortion. I can see the clipping in the original pressing in Audacity (which is the program I used to do the transfer from vinyl).
@@RussKC isn't that frustrating? We're now starting to have digital tools to 'clean up' such issues, sort of, but I hesitate to use them because they are imparting sonic information that, even if 'sounds good', is not of the actual performance. It's important to not add anything that isn't of the actual analog performance. Though it is tempting, and I occasionally remaster but just for personal use, never releasing into the wild. Anyway Russ thank you so much for this!

I wish someone would upload the entire LP of the Friends and Love concert... The recently produced CD of it was disappointing :(

@@PJBubbles yes it came from them... maybe you can track it down.

I was a junior attending Wayne Central. Our music teacher got a bunch of us tickets to this concert. Greatest night of my young life.
In love with Track 5 Places Warm. I heard it on the radio this morning (JAZZ90.1 in Rochester) and had to look it up!
Gerry Niewood, rest in peace.
sad ending to his life. I always thought Chuck and brother would record a tribute to Gerry
I love this album! My dad had it and I learned to love it. I am 71 now and have a copy of it but would buy a remastered CD in a moment. Sixty Miles Young and Hill Where The Lord Hides are my favorites.
Fantastic.
I have this well loved double album. Sun Shower, found nowhere else, still brings me so much joy.
Thankfully, I bought a new copy of this album when I found it again in the late 1980s. Found it in an record store in the original wrapper. I played my original copy to death...and still have the new one in pretty damn good shape. It is a shame that the master is lost.
Chuck has brought a beauty to jazz music that it never had. Like firewatchers.....so beautiful!
I will always love his music!
yeah, brother, from that day; all the way out~
Watched this concert at the time (1971). It was incredible!
The album captures the spirit & the incredibly creative musical personality of Chuck Mangione, and he had wonderful musicians and singers on board too. It's sad that this double album never received the appreciation of which it is so deserving.
agree 100%... my Rochester 'homeboys' Man, where has 50 years gone?
"Look to the Children" gets me everytime. I performed this in 7th grade chorus and fell in love with this song. Great album and concert.
absolutely beautiful singing by Don and Ester ~ I was just home from Vietnam when this was being performed, awesome!
I had the privilege of seeing the full concert on PBS television back in 1972. I enjoyed the concert and I bought the album and started collecting Chuck Mangione's albums and going to his live concerts.
Would give anything for a copy of the original broadcast. Does anybody know if it is available anywhere?
Oh, how I listened to this. Love this. 10 stars.
This music is beyond wonderful. I grew up in Rochester and I'm sure I heard Chuck Mangione once, live, at the Eastman, along with Chick Corea. I graduated high school in 1965, so it was probably before that. Thank you for posting!!
Decades ago I had this album on 8 track cassette. And played the heck out of it.
The nice thing about having this on 8-track is that it never ends!
This concert, music and album is a gem in my heart. I am 64years old now and when I was a young teenager i remember this music playing on the radio as i was always traveling with my grandparents from outside Buffalo New York, a place Dunkirk NY to the Adirondacks on the wide open NY Thruway.

right on Mike, I feel the same

Did you by chance make any recordings of the concerts you saw? I am a former student of Gerry’s and would love to hear more recordings of him. Thanks
@@parisax your best shot right now is TH-cam when he played with Chuck Mangione. Look for the album Chuck Mangione Quartet here.
Thanks, I have all the commercially available recorded material as well as some of the bootlegs that are now on TH-cam. But I’m always looking for new sources.
Wow, I attended the Eastman School of Music in the 70's. Sure brings back some memories. I have this record but thanks for the upload.
I saw this concert 1972 Walnut Hills high school auditorium with the Eastman School of Music orchestra in Cincinnati with my female friend.
I have this on Vinyl as well... it's raggedy. Thank you for this. I'm from Rochester. My dad and my Mom went to see this live at the Eastman Theatre. Don't know why I didn't go.

@@RussKC I saw CM at Melody Fair as well, with my family. I can't remember when, maybe 1974 or so.
Thank you, thank you. This is what got me hooked to the music of Chuck Mangione.

I've been looking for this too! Thank you VERY much for posting!!
Great tune by Chuck Mangione When I first heard this it did sound kind of familliar like maybe I heard it way long ago from a television movie
What a gift!! Thank you for recording.
I grew up in Rochester. I went to the Eastman Theater and attended when ever Chuck played.
Great album. Lovely arrangements and great playing.
Thank you for uploading this whole live album...
Amazing! Thank you for posting this!

Could you send me just the LEGACY only. I used to play this in the 70’s and been looking for one for 35 years. Thanks for posting.
I have an LP of this. On the out chorus of Freddie’s Walkin’, it sounds like the plug was pulled when they cut the vinyl, and it slows down to nothing! (Collector’s Item?)
... Not a bad Album overall ... they sure didn't waste a lot of time on Lyrics in " Freddie's Walkin' " ...
Wow, every time Chuck gets together with a few of his friends good stuff happens. Don Potter was his normal amazing self , on Freddie's walk in. I would have preferred a less static, but I love it all.

As always the RPO is always fantasies
Непонятный альбом, ужасно записан и не качественный звук.
