@@xRickAstleyx Yeah, and while they were not vintage, they were damn well heavy - as was the gear to keep them steady, the mics and stands and XLR cables to play, monitor and record them, and the ballasts and other riggings required to steady them.

Herbie H. played at Copenhagen Jazzfestival 2022, great concert, the audience were thrilled and excited. As the concert was at the end and the musicians was about leaving Herbie H. turned around and said " oh, yes, and there is this" and the concert ended with an extended version of Chamelon. Thank you mr. Hancock.
As a late millenial I've only discovered Mr Herbie Hancock last year and I can't believe that I'm going to see them next month at the Melbourne Jazzfest!! can't-freaking-wait!!
The Danish video team deserves respect. pre/post vid production was phenomenal The way they recorded and controlled the video feeds for this live event - astounding.
Yeah I frequently see old video's from the 60's 70's from danish tv, they knew what they had and I love the people who are responsible for filming and recording music so I can enjoy it many years later.
@@tyleralden1854The technique is called chroma key. The background is blue so they filter out all the blue footage and overlay two or more cameras. The technique creates unwanted artifacts in the blue patterns of Paul Jacksons shirt😊
Saw HH at the Odean, Birmingham , UK many years ago. Was REALLY hoping to see Harvey Mason but he used Alphonse Mouzon (another great drummer btw). Paul Jackson broke a string and changed it whilst still continueing to play some complicated piece. What skill !
In the 80s when some of my friends were getting into hip-hop, they thought I was odd for collecting HERBIE HANCOCK cassettes. I still have my cassette and CD collection by the way, in 2023.
You weren't. One of my favourites from the mid seventies. HH gave a concert in Copenhagen Jazzfestival 2022 at the DR koncerthal, great concert.Still got HH LP'es.
I got to the fusion party a little late; by 1975 the Headhunters got my attention. Funky fusion at its finest. His earlier work on Man-Child and Thrust never get old. Herb(ie Hancock) is my fusion drug of choice. Love the creative cinematography. P.S. thanks for uploading this. American TV in 1976 would have never considered airing something like this; only the Danish and other European cats appreciated this.
I was about sixteen and went out to a place named Labyrinth in Beverwijk (Netherlands). There they played “Thrust”. I was totally blown away by this music from outer space. Been a Herbie Hancock fan since then.
This 1976 live TV production in Denmark was ahead of everyone's time. Especially the audio mix. The true test of great audio production is when you can selectively listen to, and follow, any ONE instrument and hear EVERY nuance. Everything is crystal clear. Every player has an equal voice and no one is lost or covered up. This makes for a truly unique listening experience. So glad I discovered this. Thanks for sharing!
This is a sound recording studio with cameras brought in. Those are expensive German microphones everywhere. It may possibly be a post-production mix too instead of live-to-tape. There is great Danish TV Led Zeppelin footage of their '69 tour...when they still had something to prove. A great live recording and video with kids sitting right up close to the band...
Yes, this seems ok, but in the 80ies danish television was notoriously terrible at live music. To the point of danish bands insisting on doing playback, because they knew the sound would totally suck.
@@Trk-El-Son TV stations by their nature are multimedia centers and are never proper sound studios. I played in several as a boy in the 80s and it was a mono mix of a handleful of live mics for a 8 piece band. But these same news broadcaster rooms did a ton of 80s music videos and were hired to do live video and sound for broadcast in the 70s. The Zep Danish TV show sounded pretty good but it was an anomaly, for sure..
No. It is not a great mix at all, very substandard with mistakes all over the place. Wah wah is too loud and distorting half the time. Bennie Maupins sax too low or jumps in too loud then disappears again. Levels are jumping all over the place. The tone is peaky and crunchy, not warm and full and present in the best 70s way like Musikladen's. The bass is weak. The drums weak and dull. The mics are too far from many things giving them too much in direct room sound. etc etc, poor audio production. The gold standards from this era are the Musikladen/BeatClub ones by far. Most of those have everything...warm big sound, proper levels, present direct sound that is not harsh or washed out with room sound distance, perfect mix, proper compression. Leave it to the germans and their mics and gear (neumann, telefunken, etc). The music and performance is great. The visual effects behind the time. Chroma Key was more an earlier 70s thing, a relic of the earlier psych era, which had been mostly left behind, but the danish were behind the times and didnt get the memo on that. Still great to see and some of my fav tunes. The audio no tho.
@@michaeldsee Man, I wish I had more to share! 😐 I hope there still exists a preserved copy of the Soundstage episode with the Headhunters and Return to Forever. That’s pledge drive material! Same for the Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert episode with Herbie and co. It would be great to see them made available some day. And who knows what else is sitting in other archives.
Can see where Watson earned the Wah Wah moniker. His pedal playing is next level. Such musicality and expression with it. But always tasteful. Never heard anyone play it like he does.
Yeah my uncle was that dude and from 19 years old being a Funk brother up until his passing, Unc was always recording and still has music on the radio. I hear him and his influence everyday! RIP to the GOAT!! Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson!!
@@guillaumedelautre611 At 14:53 we see Herbie take his place at the keyboard that plays in the minds of gentle people, the Rhodes Suitcase Eighty Eight. 😌

Been on youtube since it started in the mid 2000s, and in that whole time I've never had a video I come back to as much as this one. And I only found it like a month ago! This is just such a badass performance, it hits every note for me in presentation, style and talent, I love the 70s analog video effects, I love every musician's intensity and joy... just the perfect live show.
I couldn’t of imagined what it actually felt like to be there and experience it in real time I’m a young dude and I’m amazed by all of the older music/musicians
Nice, Wah Wah is incredible. I practice Buddhism with HERBIE, this is 4 years after he chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. I didn’t know that Wah Wah and Bennie were so incredible. Can’t stop moving!
This is so far ahead of its time the future and the past don’t even exist anymore. A gift from the music gods and H.H. Of course. Tremendous production for the technology of the day!! TO COOL FOR SCHOOL 😎
The '73 Chameleon album was my introduction to jazz fusion and completly shaped my taste of music. Those guys are so F U N K Y, maybe even better than in the studio. Paul Jackson (R.I.P.) formed me as a bass player 🙏, he's so groovy 🤩, what a legend!
At age 13 or 14 in the mid to late 80’s, I listened to Secrets on my Walkman intensely while delivering newspapers. I was a strange child I guess, and I am still fine with that to this day. Still love “rediscovering” this album even to this day. Classic for me
Never ever ever have been more impressed by such beautiful dedication to skill and craft. These gentlemen created the most perfect moment at that time in 1976, not to mention danish. Beautiful video.
Though this is one of my favorite live recordings of Herbie's (always love the Wah Wah Watson addition), The VIDEO EDITING is funking LEGENDARY...I need more live recordings done like this!!
I love that they at least TRYED things back then. Even if some of it looked .... uhhh... interesting.... but this doesn't matter at all bc they went wild with it!
The most incredible deep communication jam of all time period. These gentlemen are so accomplished individually, and they all came together under a well defined structure by a great genius.
The band is one of a kind, but the recording sound and film artwork is amazing for its time. 100 thumps up for the danish TV and sound crew - amazing 👍 Wished there would be more recordings in this quality.
Yes! I really appreciate Gentle Thoughts as a piece of ‚Secrets‘ since it’s one of the more approachable tracks. Some other ones require a lot of attention to really enjoy.
No kidding. Most brilliant jam. Perfectly structured. Herbie Hancock, what a composer. There’s never been anything like this to be recorded for us to marvel at
These men are one with there instruments and were born to jam together when I James this on my stereo in the 70 s or old school 70s headphones always magical
My friend just sent me this and I’m watching the whole thing. I love everything about this from all those keyboards, man named Wah Wah, the bass god with the funky shirt, those early blue screen efffects, the pure harmony and magic of all those wonderful instrumentalists working together. Magical just magical baby Edit: almost forgot to mention the sax! My Lord!
A most brilliant performance. Smart Camera angles from sharp Danes show the supreme tightness in all positions. Delicate & delicious it just gets better as geniuses synchronize together.
What can I say about this amazing performance and the audio and video that hasn’t been said so beautifully by 500+ people in these comments. Like everyone else here, I’m especially grateful to the person who posted this video, for sharing this joyous piece of history. Thank you and bless you. ❤❤❤❤❤
this is the typical case of music from the past passing through the present and going straight into the future herbie is now a star and you know that when you become a star (by merit in his case) you no longer have the creative vein as when you need to establish yourself, herbie continues to be an unparalleled pianist and composer, but the music he makes is aimed at personal affirmation rather than the creative quest excluding a unique and beautiful album dedicated to the music of joni mitchell the river beautiful and full of music equal to poetry Also wonderful are the images with the superimpositions of faces and instruments with refined framing, very forward for that era
@@Phazers thank you as you say, I simply expressed my thoughts in a world today that only shoots out judgements, thoughts, even if conflicting, can and should still be expressed and when one remains within the enclosure of civilisation, every thought, even if discordant, is right to be there
thank you very much indeed for sharing this wonderful period film, a relic of a civilisation that unfortunately no longer exists I am not at all nostalgic in any area, but the creativity that was concentrated in that period, I think it can hardly be repeated today, maybe there will be other artistically relevant things (and there are) but the creative spirit that was there in the years of this film where musicians and artists in general lived a wonderful freedom and state of grace, I think it could hardly be possible with today's world
the time in that thing .. i got all the records i could lay my hands on from the players i got to know through Bitches Brew then and Headhunters just freaked me out completely i was a young middle class white boy living in the south of Germany and smoked a lot during this time - i thought i lost it all together trying only to follow the beat in that music. The funk phenomenon was unknown to me you see. Some ride i can tell you that. But even today i'm still floored by this pulsing mosaic - i can follow the beat by now but what does that get me? Anyway the joy hasn't changed a bit. This band is so ... well the appreciative adjectives and more expression are here already. No need to repeat them. It is very pleasing to find such a lot of voices who show themselves moved by the experiences of the impact of that sound. I guess 'smoking hot' and 'incredibly tight band' say it better after all ..
Great post, much appreciated 💜 His ‘73 Chameleon album, helped me change direction from Atlantic/Stax/Tamla of the 60’s/70’s. I was lucky enough to buy the album, then later in the year he toured UK & I saw him @Leeds University.. loved it. Seeing this brings back all the memories (& all the African percussion) Here’s another live of Chameleon played in Germany ruclips.net/video/9BEtFX37reU/видео.html

I love everything about this from all those keyboards, man named Wah Wah, the bass god with the funky shirt, those early blue screen efffects, the pure harmony and magic of all those wonderful instrumentalists working together. Magical just magical baby
Edit: almost forgot to mention the sax! My Lord!
A most brilliant performance.
Smart Camera angles from sharp Danes show the supreme tightness in all positions. Delicate & delicious it just gets better as geniuses synchronize together.
Wah Wah Watson is amazing!
I love Herbie's music with all his bands. A true innovator and kindred spirit seeking to push the boundaries of music and take it further.
Great musicians, Herbie is so incredibility talented.
the guitar in "Gentle Thoughts" is bliss
Top notch performance. What incredible musicians these lads are.
Wow! Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this in its entirety. Just sublime.
Headhunters Forever!!! Bennie Maupin is killing it, though it sounds as if he wasn't properly mixed. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Nonsense. what do you mean: "it sounds as if he wasn't properly mixed``.
@@au46tro9I think it’s just the distance to the microphone that sometimes makes him barely audible. But it adds dynamics imho 🙂
Wah Wah playing that guitar and Herbie on the Solina is the sound of the cosmos! Amazing performance, thanks for the upload.
What can I say about this amazing performance and the audio and video that hasn’t been said so beautifully by 500+ people in these comments.
Like everyone else here, I’m especially grateful to the person who posted this video, for sharing this joyous piece of history. Thank you and bless you. ❤❤❤❤❤
this is the typical case
of music from the past passing through the present and going straight into the future
herbie is now a star and you know that when you become a star (by merit in his case) you no longer have the creative vein as when you need to establish yourself, herbie continues to be an unparalleled pianist and composer, but the music he makes is aimed at personal affirmation rather than the creative quest
excluding a unique and beautiful album dedicated to the music of joni mitchell the river beautiful and full of music equal to poetry
Also wonderful are the images with the superimpositions of faces and instruments with refined framing, very forward for that era
Great thoughts, well expressed!
@@Phazers thank you
as you say, I simply expressed my thoughts in a world today that only shoots out judgements, thoughts, even if conflicting, can and should still be expressed and when one remains within the enclosure of civilisation, every thought, even if discordant, is right to be there
thank you very much indeed for sharing this wonderful period film, a relic of a civilisation that unfortunately no longer exists
I am not at all nostalgic in any area, but the creativity that was concentrated in that period, I think it can hardly be repeated today, maybe there will be other artistically relevant things (and there are) but the creative spirit that was there in the years of this film where musicians and artists in general lived a wonderful freedom and state of grace, I think it could hardly be possible with today's world
this is beautifull...what a performance ! the cooperation ! love it !
This don`t get any better - Brilliant chemistry for brilliant music.
the time in that thing .. i got all the records i could lay my hands on from the players i got to know through Bitches Brew then and Headhunters just freaked me out completely i was a young middle class white boy living in the south of Germany and
smoked a lot during this time - i thought i lost it all together trying only to follow the beat in that music. The funk phenomenon was unknown to me you see. Some ride i can tell you that. But even today i'm still floored by this pulsing mosaic - i can follow the beat by now but what does that get me? Anyway the joy hasn't changed a bit. This band is so ... well the appreciative adjectives and more expression are here already. No need to repeat them. It is very pleasing to find such a lot of voices who show themselves moved by the experiences of the impact of that sound. I guess 'smoking hot' and 'incredibly tight band' say it better after all ..
Excellent. Got both those original LPs but never heard this recording 😀👍
This is WONDERFUL ✨ This music really hits me🕺😎🔥 wooooow this is so good, what a vibe !
This is music at its finest! I often find myself thinking about this set and 1st chance I get I come back here to listen to this masterpiece!
First time ever listening to this my body won't stop moving love it
Wah Wah with the perfect tone.... not too clean, not too dirty...
Great band great music the best of funky jazz!!!
This is just amazing
Merci, a great piece of music and t.v. ! ✌
2:26 - whatever Melvin “Wah Wah Watson” Ragin is doing right there is COOL!
Great post, much appreciated 💜
His ‘73 Chameleon album, helped me change direction from Atlantic/Stax/Tamla of the 60’s/70’s.
I was lucky enough to buy the album, then later in the year he toured UK & I saw him @Leeds University.. loved it. Seeing this brings back all the memories (& all the African percussion)
Here’s another live of Chameleon played in Germany

What a sensational record! A really Big gem. Thank you very much for sharing this 🙂
Listen, Wah Wah Watson wasn't taking ANY prisoners. At ALL! And I'm sure that Dutch "hospitality" was on point too haha
Thanks for uploading, incredible 🙌🏽🔥
Paul Jackson and Wah Wah are geniuses!!
Such a perfect performance. Thanks
Another immensely talented artist the great Herbie Hancock.
I remember listening to Head Hunters on walkman while doing my paper route. It was a revolution in my little teenage head!
I think I’ll try to get my hands on a velour tracksuit
Music At Its Best.
Straight A!
