About the instruments they are playing:
Yamaha KX5 Keytar
Chick Corea uses during this concert the Yamaha KX5, a master laptop keyboard from 1984. This is a 37-key keyboard covering a range from C2 to C5 with MIDI connectors permitting the remote stand-up performance of the keyboard instruments.
Yamaha TRB JP TDR
John Patitucci plays the Yamaha TRB JP II, a 6-string electric bass. The TRB series was born during the'80s to cover a wider tonal range, both in the low and high frequencies. The four-layer laminate body is constructed from veneers of curly maple, ash, alder and maple. This design produces a precise and intense resonance throughout the instrument's register.
Ibanez 540S-LPF
Frank Gambale plays the 540S-LPF Dessert Yellow. His first signature model, the FGM100 (the first of the Frank Gambale series) by Ibanez, introduced in 1991 is based on this 540S-LPF but has different pickups. The FMG100 was one of the 15 guitars that had been stolen from Frank Gambale house in 2004.
Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, serial #201695
Eric Marienthal always showed a predilection for the Alto Saxophone. The Mark VI was introduced by Selmer Paris in 1954. Many Jazz giants have used the Mark VI, including Dexter Gordon, Ornette Coleman, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane.

The way Chick Corea plays those synth reminds me That feeling of playing a new instrument with those sounds you know you're never gonna use

[@TwistVinicius]

I gotta admit I kinda love the way he plays amazing melodies with ugly synth sounds, it makes it really a unique performance.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

17:14 one of the finest bass solos you will ever hear or see courtesy of the one and only John Patitucci, he is absolutey on fire!!!

[@williamhunter5549]

My Group.😥Play on In heavenly peace Chick

[@klistiranikrupije1724]

RIP Chick.

[@georgerikken]

Corea...Always beautiful musical paintings full of melancholy and heavenly moments...what a magical music...

[@Noyabuiss]

One of best fusion guitar solos ever, I think. My opinion, at least.

[@tmayne220]

one of the best bass guitarists ever. John is fantastic!

[@bobelston6105]

Such phenomenal mastery of their instruments!

[@jorgejaray.2671]

Se ve muy bien y se escucha excelente, muy buena grabación

[@jameskrell4392]

A sonic cathedral of sound

[@karlsalocks]

Fucking awesome

[@Savignylol]

I wish a woman would look at me the way Dave looks at John at 20.52 ...

[@georgerikken]

19.08.... beautiful lines !!!!

[@Archvil1]

20:35 such a pretty sound. I loved it.

[@ikethompson5839]

2:45 mark to 2:57 is so mysterious sounding to me, I love it

[@jazzualdo]

Wow! Eric on tenor!

[@EthanFAllen]

I have always FUCKING! loved this song...

[@achenarmyst2156]

Amazing string sound by Chick in the beginning

[@sandysmith3126]

Kurzweil 250, I think. Sounds like the solo violin patch, though it might have been a custom variation he had.

[@gianluchissimo]

Pattitucci è mostruoso

[@mariamatos5046]

Great ! Friend , Could you get the next show? It would be extraordinary! Only those from Japan can do it. It is as follows: Chick Corea Elektric Band Nakano Sunplaza Tokyo, 1992, soundboard.Thanks

Great...

[@JIbanez29]

18:27 The lick

[@LAOMUSICARTS]

Very funny to watch his feet tapping out of sync in the Intro, while playing two keyboards at the same time!

[@greglesondak]

Can’t help but wonder what’s going through his head

[@LAOMUSICARTS]

@@greglesondak I had observed some classical players do the same too.

[@ronojoysen5324]

Wrong! He's keeping the one.

[@Noyabuiss]

Frank's solo is the pooh!

[@kozovoi1975]

12:20 guitar solo

[@WayTooMuchGear]

That's not a Yamaha bass. That's a Ken Smith.

[@5150mili]

Gambale solo 12:12

[@Wazoox]

He's not playing the KX5. More the Synclavier, then the Rhodes electric piano, a bit of the KX88 (driving probably a TX816 module).

[@dvamateur]

Doesn't matter. All great instruments. The first few minutes are on the Kurzweil K250. But who knows what the Kurzweil keyboard is driving from its MIDI ports.

[@sandysmith3126]

@@dvamateur It sounds like the Kurzweil solo string patch. Also, he had a KX-76, the synth-action littler brother of the KX-88.

Musical Masterbation

[@saxmandiggle1573]

Royal S I’d love to hear that bootleg album! You know where I can find it?

[@dvamateur]

I could do without comments like this.

[@thevomit5851]

You have terrible taste.

[@Savignylol]

Amazing melodies, but unfortunately not in time...

[@jameskrell4392]

In time? This is Jazz man, it is time itself

[@ivanbotaro4697]

Amazing comment, but unfortunately not in correct video...

[@thevomit5851]

You have no sense of rhythm and you're projecting.

[@cgawainf4785]

In whose time? You simply have no idea.
