the military style drumming at 1:25 is absolutely brilliant(being an ex Army percussionist) & this is one of my fave RTF tracks. At 8.30 so beautiful,what a lovely piece of music,Chick Corea,what a master.
What an all-star band! All four musicians are unbelievable and they played so well together. Lenny White is unbelievable. As is Chick Corea, Al DiMeola and Stanley Clarke, probably the best bassist ever.
He is a great bassist and is well respected among his peers...Bass has limits though...Stanley wasn't doing things a thousand other great bassist did or do...Percy Jones, Victor Wooten, Jaco, Squire, Entwhistle, Lake, and many more are just as great...
Eric Paulos Most Definitely, I didn't know how Vintage he is until I heard this track, I heard Flight of the Newborn years before but when I brought the cassette, I said Lenny is off the chain, hook, or whatever these youngsters describe it
i have the lp...not sure ??? Lenny prob plays the snare drum part incredible time whoever..superb drummer.....God Bless Chick Corea...master musician......xxxxx
Mi madre lo tenía este y otras piezas en un cassette allá en 1980, lo ponía todas las noches, pase varios años encontrando e identificando este y otro piezas que contenían dicho cassette, pero especialmente este últimos, hasta que al fin lo encontré. Grande,grande Corea, un maestro de maestro.
I definitely did not know how BAD ASS WAS LENNY WHITE. AL, STANLEY AND CHICK PLUS LENNY WAS The GOAT OF ALL THE 4 MOST TALENTED BANDS WHEN IT COMES DOWN MUSICIANS IN 1 GROUP. THEN THE BEATLES ANDZEPPELIN ❤❤❤❤
No es 1974, es la joya de january, 1975. Entonces fue la principal obra maestra de la radio mundial. Царствие Небесное Гению Чику Кории. Он стал Магелланом жанра jazz-rock
I got this album In 74. It was my 2nd album of the band; the first "where have I known......" The music sounded too harsh, except for the acoustic passages. Corea's Moog, was very dominating, and the sound was annoyingly shrill, which was a pity. The same goes for Dimeola. It was a lot more aggressive than their previous album and there's some good sections to appreciate. They sorted things out with their Romantic Warrior album, especially with Corea's new Polyphonic Moog..... And the production
Although I prefer 'Where Have I Known You Before' for Chick's electric line-up, I remember back in the 70's a bit of the riff at 9:30 was used at an intro theme for one of the more progressive (at the time) educational programs, probably NPR.
I did a bit of digging and it appears this version appears on the anthology disc which was released in 2008. It contains remasters of their original work: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Forever:_The_Anthology
such a poor album by a talented band. this track is okish, title track is great, but the rest...? surprising too because there are live recordings, used to be on jazzfusiontv, of this band from the same time as this album (1975), and they are as good as would hope from the players. Title track was only one they played off this album, plus 20min versions of Vulcan Worlds/Phaorah Kings and an electric early version of the RW tune. NY Nov 75, the date I think, with White sounding v great
ill agree this isn’t RTF at their very best, that would be Romantic Warrior. This is however truly innovative. It’s hard to be simultaneously groundbreaking and presenting that new ground in a matured fashion. Romantic Warrior I’d say is both, but at this point, only two years earlier I know, but that’s the time, prog was new, as was fusion, and nothing quite like this existed, its unique from Weather Report or Herbies stuff or Mahavishnu, more interesting then non-fusion prog, as good as that stuff can be. So I really don’t hold anything against this album, it has its place. Though Ill listen to Romantic Warrior 20 times to every one time ill listen to this album.
Wonderful ! I heard i was 19 years old i am now 66 and i can,t forget
Played this song in marching band. So much fun to play!
RIP Chick Corea. Everything about this tune sounds like a magnificent send off into the eternal.
the military style drumming at 1:25 is absolutely brilliant(being an ex Army percussionist) & this is one of my fave RTF tracks. At 8.30 so beautiful,what a lovely piece of music,Chick Corea,what a master.
8:30. !
Pretty sure Chick was playing with Lenny during that part.
Lenny White is just a God of Rhythm... that's all there is to it!!!
Masterpiece.
What a band.
Godspeed, Chick.
When I was living with my parents I used to play this Album loud in my bedroom all the time, still sounds great
RIP Chick Corea
What an all-star band! All four musicians are unbelievable and they played so well together. Lenny White is unbelievable. As is Chick Corea, Al DiMeola and Stanley Clarke, probably the best bassist ever.

One of fusion's hallmark drum performances by Lenny White, he's unstoppable!
If you read the album credits it reads that Chick Corea plays the drum intro on this track.
Lenny was supreme on this cut!

@@virgilrw he is one of a kind...
i have the lp...not sure ??? Lenny prob plays the snare drum part incredible time whoever..superb drummer.....God Bless Chick Corea...master musician......xxxxx
Absolutely epic and outstanding.
...ALL 4 of them; simply Amazing. Al's solo on Celebration Suite has got to be one of the best alltime Rock solos....
I was already hooked on Chick Corea's musicality with the release of this epic LP...each musician just grooves...it's simply awesome!
never tired of this since i got this album all those years ago
47 years ago? Wow. This lp & Where Have I Known You...favorites
Such tasty notes...:)...RTF are the BEASTS of fusion!
Awww the press roll at the beginning
4 great genius of music..can't see nobody thru the years like them ..
Chick a great composer and truly a master of keywords & composition...
One of my most favorite pieces of music ever! :-)

Brilliant!
Love RTF.
I love hearing the East Asian influences of Chick's Korean heritage.
...Gotta have a visual of Al's solo! Stunningly RocknRoll....
...20th Century Classical. I love it !
I found this, at last!
Thanks!
Something real!!
Classic.
I know what Lenny's playing, I just can't figure out how the hell he's doing it!
yes Lenny White....soooo individual....cool cat...
The main ingredients hands down !
Amazing thanks for the upload
Masterpiece ❤❤❤❤❤
East Coast Inda houuuuse!
I'm not a big fan of Guitarist Al DiMeola, but for what it's worth, DiMeola's solo on Celebration Suite Part 2, I believe, is his finest.
Yeah, he's hardly great at all ~eye roll~
I definitely did not know how BAD ASS WAS LENNY WHITE.
AL, STANLEY AND CHICK PLUS LENNY WAS The GOAT OF ALL THE 4 MOST TALENTED BANDS WHEN IT COMES DOWN MUSICIANS IN 1 GROUP. THEN THE BEATLES ANDZEPPELIN ❤❤❤❤
Celestial desde el principio hasta el final, pero en 2:58... vive Cristo, como escarpias.
tres tres bien
Definition of a SUPER GROUP
God that end guitar solo… woooo
Eu acho que essa é a melhor música do Chick Corea.

Funky Flamenco Funeral

Some of the comments on this are absolutely ridiculous. You guys are some keyboard warriors
What edition is this? I got a CD version which doesn't sound remotely as good as this.
I did a bit of digging and it appears this version appears on the anthology disc which was released in 2008. It contains remasters of their original work: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Forever:_The_Anthology
@@VVeeVVeeV é exatamente isso. Aparece num disco intitulado "The anthology" que contém 20 faixas divididas por dois CD.
Imagine with Lady GaGa !!!
Huh?
All SERIOUSLY TALENTED MUSICIANS, JUST SOME MORE TALENT IN THEIR BIG TOE!
Can we get an unsung episode please?
