Steve and those old Pearl fiberglass drums. He revolutionized the modern drum set up and tom sizes of the day. I however still like the old standard 8x12 and 9x13 rack Toms . Steve is a legend.
Absolutely great archival footage. Love to listen to Gadd from this era. Keep posting & I'll kepp watching. I'm a bit dissapointed in some of the negative comments that I've seen on youtube regarding Gadd's playing today. Let's keep in mind that he's 70 years of age,& NOT 30 anymore. I think that he still plays w/a lot of conviction. Let's see how some of his detractors still play when they turn 70+.
Love that stuff 'twixt the kick and left hand snare... phew! I mean... I love it all. But that's some sick stuff there, when his right hand takes time out for a spell.
DAMN!!!!STEVE GADD LOOKS LIKE CRAZY,BAT DAAAAMN GOOOD!!!!THIS IS MABY THE BEST DRUM SOLO BY GADD...I m gonna listen mister Gadd et Tour 2010,with Clapton,in BELGRADE-SERBIA 09.06.2010!!!!
This is the band L' image, where Steve was becoming the legend he would become. I went to school with Steve and believe me, what you see here was a style and feel totally unique to Steve at the time.
wow....standing o.....and the tune was still goin'......Gadd had all the influences before the internet....I'm sure information was harder to get back then
Its amazing to see this, knowing what he is and what he evolves into as the years go by. He is so much more refined now, a bit more musical and a better touch. This is still pretty kick-ass though, no doubt about it.
@@tipasoneinthisone9498 Agree , he even studied with and was mentored by the Timpani legend John Beck. His skills are hardly reachable. Great body motion, great musicality by, extremely good feet, you can’t go better, you just can go different
yeah but he was in his late thirties here !! + 30 = ? the music he made from 1978 - 1983 was awesome especially with warren bernhard you just dont get the quality anymore !!
Warren Bernhart on Keys and the monster Mike Manieri on Vibes. Mike came out of the Be-bop era as a young guy, played and recorded with Buddy Rich's small group for a couple of years but ultimately transitioned to more modern stuff...as you can see here.
Where'd you find this recording? I have a cassette recording from 1975 at Red Creek that my Dad had, and I'm trying to figure out how he got the recording.
watch steve gadd solo with mike mainieri in 1977. then watch him in 2007. same man, much greater knowledge and experience. but the passion is not the same, the body is eroding. he can hardly play traditional grip anymore. let alone expend that kind of energy.
Steve Gadd never knocked me out. He is a good groove player but he wasn't smooooooth. Very choppy. He played like he was falling down the stairs. Nothing any more than most drummers can replicate. I never got the hype.
I'm here to stan the incomparable Tony Levin! Skill-monster!
The grand theory of EVERYTHING is here!!! Einstein😮

This is probably the best raw footage of early-Gadd anywhere

Nope. There is footage from when he was 4 or 5 on the Mickey Mouse Club
Google it
Mainieri - Gadd a perfect combination !!!!
his ideas lack the glue to join them together that he later nailed but the genius of whats to come is all there .amazing
Love the sound of Steve's drums here, nice dead sound, very pleasing to the ear.
This is amazing. I am so sorry I never heard Steve und Mike together on stage, so thanks for sharing this video.
Love the ghosts that materialize around the 3 minute mark. Gadd is so good, even the dead come see him. 😉
the master of drums..... just awesome
the magical Red Creek ! Steve Gadd is amazing ! this is wonderful thank you for sharing ! oo
The two-part video "Conversations with Mike Mainieri" brought me here.
Damn this is some priceless footage! GADD you are a force of nature
Tony Levin on bass 'n' hair !!!!!!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! Just realized it (and it's actually in the name!)
Steve Gadd pre-Yamaha. LOVE these early Gadd videos. Thanx for posting. Keep 'em coming if u have more !!

Wowsers!
In a Gadd- a da Vida..
Sick.
wow....standing o.....and the tune was still goin'......Gadd had all the influences before the internet....I'm sure information was harder to get back then
Gadd recorded Asia this same year!
good album

Disagree. Steve was fully formed by this time and as another comment notes played on Aja the same year.

He’d already recorded DiMeola’s Elegant Gypsy and Casino before this. He’s well into his excellence and maturity here.
I remember doing to the Joyous Lake in Woodstock, NY. Brings back fond memories. Wondering if this was filmed there?
Respect mon steve !! ;-)♫♪
Tellement chaud le Steve

Dig the ghost wait staff. Far out, man.
It's the chaccaron bassline. *Glass Shattering*
Another pants go straight to the trash!! Jesus!!
Bad As Fuck!!!
rare
yeah i know what you mean but it is just old tech
How come I can see right through that person walking in the camera @ 3:09?! Or am I just baked?
Nice if you'd credit the rest of the band too

I was 2
Along with a Cheeseburger and Fries!

Yea, I used to make all those Red Creek gigs. :)
Gadd has an uncanny resemblance to a certain muppet in his manner, style and countenance…no, not Fozzy Bear!
TA FUR THA' boy bands sheesh
Probably coked out of his head in this video. All in all I think he has a pretty decent career don't you?
