Just a great band. Good recording to. I stood on stage behind Lenny White in Guildford England at around this time when they played this and were promoting "Where Have I Known You Before". Great times back then. Thanks for posting this wonder.
I was fortunate to c rtf in 74- Stanley theater down town pitts pa... just before this lp was released...I think...I do remember I bought one drink at beginning of show...mi still had it at the end... didn't want to miss a note jack... kids now days..just don't know what they've missed
Very simply put, Bobby. I couldn't agree more. From the time I was introduced to the band 41 years ago, they were then, and remain my favorite band of all time. Their level of excellence is unmatched. Creative, complex, and alway's exciting!! Cheers from Leamington, Canada.
a musicians band at its best that means other musicians listen to them to be entertained and that takes alot. An example is like when Hendrix went to England. they knew right away what they were dealing with and I know what I am dealing with here. Genius
I was lucky that i heard RTF since i was a teen in the 70' as the Chick's and Stanley solo albums , the Romantic Warrior album always listen from beggining to end , i miss them live at Tampa Florida last time , i regret .
I was lucky to see every tour in the 70's also. The "Where have I known you before" tour was hands down the best concert I've ever attended, and I've attended well over a thousand. No Mystery and Romantic Warrior were both in the top 10 concerts. This band changed the way I hear music to this day.
He's less inclined to play electric as much because of the toll it takes on his hearing. But he, Lenny, and Stanley may actually get together to do some Return to Forever tunes in the near future....
He played Dallas in January 2024, all electric, fantastic show. He had a heart attack in September, but sounded great playing his black Les Paul that he hadn’t touched since like 1974. My personal best showing of him. I agree the acoustic is great but the black Les Paul is fantastic.
This is good, though the original, and the whole album it's from, has a special place in my heart. I live in Japan, and can't help but to notice that Japanese Jazz pianists seem to be more influenced by Chick than Herbie (thinking particularly of Hiromi Uehara and Makoto Ozone here). But as I age, I find myself listening to more Herbie than Chick. This was a great line-up ... but I especially like him with Airto and Flora, maybe because I prefer the Brazilian tinge to the Spanish. 🤔
This is a most interesting viewpoint. I do know of all you refer to. I am no academic. I was introduced to this music very young... and in its prime. Let's just say.. they are all brilliant and Thankyou.. rip CC.. and what can we expect next .❤

@@Bix12 The 1st RTF album "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy" was 6 months before the 1st Eleventh House album. Both bands came 3 years after The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin.
C O AGREED! If you've heard one DiMeola Guitar solo, you've heard 'em all! YAWN! Quote by BILL CONNORS ~ "I don't have a huge ego, but it still hurt when people would tell me that I must've listened to a lot of Al DiMeola. I was robbed of my identity, that my Guitar was like a credit card that had been stolen and I'd been left to play the bill." I recommend a track by Jazz Trombonist Julian Priester/Pepo Mtoto called "PROLOGUE/LOVE, LOVE" which was featured on Priester's solo album called "LOVE, LOVE" which was released on the ECM Label in 1973. BILL CONNORS solos on his Gibson Les Paul Standard for a little more than 2 minutes. Connors solos between 8:38~11:02. Bill's solo is more Free Form and his phrasing is out of this world! The track clocks in at 19:25. It's cool funk vamp. The track is on RUclips!
Why? Herbie is a MONSTER....Chick is a MONSTER. They have different musical hearts is all, no one is any better, or worse, than the other. Instead of silly, feel immature.

First time I listened to that song in the mid 70's I was on acid!!...man, what a trip that was!!...
WONDERFUL !!!!!! BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !!! 4 EXTRAORDINARY MUSICIANS!! CHIC COREA GENIUS IN MY HEART ! R.I.P. MAESTRO

this tune has been on repeat in my head for... well, forever, it seems like. Sure do miss Chick daily.
This song produced one of the greatest jazz/rock/fusion themes of all time.
Saw them at 19..now 63..long time fan🎶😎
Its an incredible song played by 4 men but of one mind....it's magnificent..beyond words to describe.
...I believe Chick wrote all their parts 🎉
Lenny White kicking ass!
Killer performances by all. Audio is killin’ too!
This group of musicians were pillars of the new music called Jazz Fusion
Yeah man, though that's not what Lenny calls it!

For my money the best fusion group of all time
Period. My favorite musicians.

Not disagreeing with you, it's pretty subjective after all. But I'll also give props to the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
I think just one great example, of one divine love
Chick wrote this song. He's a follower of Scientology. The only love anyone has in scientology is to oneself and the benefit to you from your actions.
hahaha !@@Relayer6a

One of the greatest piece by the 4 MASTERS C S A L ❤
I've heard thousands of CHick Corea solos over the years, but this one beginning at 20:50 is pretty special.
Chick’s one of those musicians who has the facility to play whatever he hears in his head.
Amazing! :)
Awesome..Thank You for posting
Chick can sure play that Moog.
He's no slouch on the Fender Rhodes, either!
La mejor banda jazzrock grande
Just saw Al Di Meola in concert, but it was all acoustic guitar. Kind of wish he would get a band together and play some electric tunes from this era.

Me Too!!!
Welcome to the family!
Still great!!
Much Gratitude

¡¡¡¡impresionante!!!!, me recuerda a Romantic Warrior por la calidad
Can't categorize these greats. As Herbie Hancock once said," It's all music."
I guess this is a "live" recording of the reunion tour? I like it
Epic!!

Got the 4lp 2cd today limited edition
Refrain of RTF , Warrior.
Al seems pretty tight with the vibe on this tune. Shame they fell apart shortly thereafter.
Agree he was awesome.. Was it cause of Chick’s Scientology, his leaving?
Who doesn't like it?.

This is tuf
WOW! And I who thought Herbie Hancock was the best. I feel silly now.
Why? Herbie is a MONSTER....Chick is a MONSTER. They have different musical hearts is all, no one is any better, or worse, than the other. Instead of silly, feel immature.
Sorry 2 b the 1 2 tell u, BUT........ur statement is SSSOOOOO INCREDIBLY, how could I put this.........
naive.......
That's the G rated version.
@@Bix12 Not to mention they respected the shit out of each other and played together. Multiple times.
Not at all, both were masters of their own flavor of fusion, both electric and acoustic piano and synthesizer.
