I was there - front row - spoke with the guys mid and after show. Buzz was incredibly genuine, generous, warm and welcoming like I was an old friend. This was the most enjoyable show I'd ever been to - and this video only ever reaffirms the grateful 2 days I had the immense pleasure to witness incredible greatness. It's still beyond me how good someone can be on an instrument - never a flaw - never a mistake - just absolute perfection... How is that possible?
+Mark Kilmer he switched into sabians after 2000, after finishing his recording of Transition CD (still playing zildjs on that record) ... this is from 1998 = rhythm of the soul era so stil Zilds)
+miles 178 That's what I wanted to say :-) I know he plays sabian but as I grew up seeing him playing zildjian and now he plays sabian, I don't know a lot top players switching brands.
This was without a doubt one of Dave's best groups ever. The addition of guitarist Buzz Feiten really added to the overall groove and fullness of sound! If you don't have the album "Rhythm Of The Soul" which featured this core grab it!
Their crowning achievement was 'Synergy', both the album and its 7th track of the same name. When I give the gift of music, this is most often the CD I choose. I run the Buzz Feiten Fan Club group on Facebook, and this fusion masterpiece anchors the great guitarist in his technical prime!
The first song that they are playing is called,"The Zone" from the "Rhythm of the Soul" CD.The musicians are: Dave on Drums,Tom Kennedy on bass,Jay Oliver on keyboards,Brandon Fields on tenor and soprano sax and Buzz Feiten on guitar.
I just realized that I was attending M.I. during this time and saw this concert. I also had the pleasure of having a picture taken with Dave Weckl. One of my Idols growing up.
This is one of the best shows given by master Weckl and this amzing and gifted musicians, I watch it over and over again from time to time just to remember how incredible this music and band was. Dave should call them over and make a final last piece.
Im 25 and just started getting into fusion. That solo by Buzz in Song for Claire is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard, hands down. Wow! He just goes exactly where you want him to go. Not a bad note in that solo.
We old SIMPLY THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!l There tons of excellent musicians but Dave is Premier!!!!!! What's killer is he makes it look easy - mind blowing!
As many people already said, and considering of course that all are top level musicians, I really love how Buzz contributes with his performance on here. Such a talented as underrated guitarist.
Buzz Feiten is actually on the Olivia Newton John "Physical Tour DVD from 1982 that I have. The other guitar player is Michael Landau! If you listen, you hear some very good playing! Great concert!!!!
The most terrifying drum solo I’ve ever heard , Dave weckl is off the charts , he’s illegal. Not from this world . Thank ya David for existing. GOAT by miles .
Tom Kennedy is just as good with his bass guitar as Dave is on drums. This is pure dynamics and skill on display here. That last number was explosive and awe inspirational. If I could do that then I would have all of the skills and talents to perform for anyone! And those drums sound incredible. He pulled out everything he had in that performance.
Saw this amazing version of the DWB in Nashville 's Gibson Cafe back in the day... One of the best live fusion performances I ever saw... They killed, knocked the roof of the motha'!
Would you be so kind as to give me some detail behind the RLLRRLLR RLLRRLLR sticking? I see it perhaps as an 8 or 16 note pattern and interested to know how it might be used and how it is most effective? Thank you for the insight.
Risenson Inthesky its a simple „inward double stroke“, which simply means, it begins with a single note. It can be played in any time with every time (8th, 16th, triplets and so on)
Wauu...amazing,para mi Weckl sigue siendo uno de los bateristas mas completos de la historia...excelente interprete,educador,compositor,productor...commpletisimo.
Dave if you read this, you were not just in the pocket there... you went all the way through and successfully redeemed a thigh bone for a trophy... that was awesome man.
TUTTI Superlativi Assoluti!!! MA *COSA FA*, Weckl: è davvero incredibile............... Non c'è un solo istante in cui non sia Sublime, nel suo modo UNICO di Suonare....... Perfetto. Assoluto IN TUTTO quello che fa. Weckl?..... SEMPLICEMENTE: IL PIU' GRANDE DI OGNI TEMPO. Da lasciarti senza parole.............. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
If you were born on the day of this show, you'd be able to legally buy a beer in about six weeks. And that's weird, because to me it feels like this album came out yesterday. ⏳sure does ✈️ !
The funny thing about these top level drummers is they're only there because they worked for it when you're as technically skilled as weckl or gadd or buddy rich you can play whatever you want and it will be considered amazing, feel is definitely a more difficult thing for a drummer to grasp but I believe anyone can develop it if they play for long enough
Me encantaaaaaaa....!!!.El mejor batero se jazz lejos,y para fucionar el mejor.Me gusta como se adapta a las armonias y melodias.Muy sutil para tocar..!
That foot pedal rhythm starting at 1:17:37 is awesome. I would like to learn more about your method of keeping that going so smoothly. Actually that whole drum solo is beautiful. I'm pretty sure that I could get the fills done, but I can't seem to find the foot Independence as well.
This mix is still strong in 2024!!!

Talent, and a lot of a lot of a lot of work, probably.

Thanks. Jay Oliver, my favorite.
Watching guys like Weckl always makes me want to play.
Dave is my favorite.
Seen him play some and it was amazing.
His dynamics and skill make it look like he invented the instrument. ✌️
wooooooooooooooow .... the best years of dave weckl band
greatest upload !!!!!! thank you sir for that
+miles 178 Same for me, my favorite periode! He was zildjian... I'm still not used to see him playing on sabian!!
+Dimitri P He was playing sabians in this vid what do you mean?
+Mark Kilmer yes! I'm still used to see him playing Zildjian... :-)
+Mark Kilmer he switched into sabians after 2000, after finishing his recording of Transition CD (still playing zildjs on that record) ... this is from 1998 = rhythm of the soul era so stil Zilds)

A great album, but "Synergy" is even better, IMO.
I agree. I bought it as soon as it dropped in '98. Great jams!
@@brookelyn7714 really
Their crowning achievement was 'Synergy', both the album and its 7th track of the same name. When I give the gift of music, this is most often the CD I choose. I run the Buzz Feiten Fan Club group on Facebook, and this fusion masterpiece anchors the great guitarist in his technical prime!
Everyone always talks about Buzz on here, but Neil Larsen is what brought me to this channel lol.
The undisputed champion of dynamics and finesse.
Jesus ... this band was totally about finesse and elegance! See Buzz Feiten's WikiPedia pages, one for his career, and one for his discography.
Buddy Rich? Yes, I TOTALLY AGREE ! ! !
Frank you called it, The King of Finesse... Nothin but Net.... Everytime The Man Plays.
HELL YES BRO!!!
Totally agree
Twenty years ago, and listen and listening again...The best days of Dave's dynamics...Awewsome...Here From Brazil never stop listen...
This is the MOTHER of all fusion jazz!!
The first song that they are playing is called,"The Zone" from the "Rhythm of the Soul" CD.The musicians are: Dave on Drums,Tom Kennedy on bass,Jay Oliver on keyboards,Brandon Fields on tenor and soprano sax and Buzz Feiten on guitar.
Thanks for your info bro 👍👍
And the second song is called Big B little B, and the last is Access Denied
Dave é o melhor do mundo!
Nunca vi um batera tão completo!
Eu já vi ao vivo no Coliseu no Porto com Chick. Não há igual
Vinnie Colaiuta !!!
The best dave weckl solo that I have seen far now and very nice overall performance
I just realized that I was attending M.I. during this time and saw this concert. I also had the pleasure of having a picture taken with Dave Weckl. One of my Idols growing up.
My favorite edition of the Dave Weckl Band. Jay Oliver really can play his &%$ off and Buzz Feiten just added something really special to the unit.
This is one of the best shows given by master Weckl and this amzing and gifted musicians, I watch it over and over again from time to time just to remember how incredible this music and band was. Dave should call them over and make a final last piece.
Wow!
Such an amazing drum mixing.
Wowow! Incredible musicians=- All of them- it just does not get any better
What a line up.. This is my backing track song that I use to work out the funk. Love this BAND.
Wow this is so damn funky !!! Love the guitar work !!!
Love the DWB! Amazing - saw them live in '98 in Portland. Great players. Thanks so much for sharing.
Jay Oliver is a killer player!!!
Keep it up Jay!!!
This is outrageous. Been listening to Buzzy since the Peaceful World and Isle Of Real Rascals albums.
Jay Oliver...my absolute hero of all times....
There's a reason he's on every single Weckl album....
full ack.
Such finesse in playing! Dave rocks
Im 25 and just started getting into fusion. That solo by Buzz in Song for Claire is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard, hands down. Wow! He just goes exactly where you want him to go. Not a bad note in that solo.
We old SIMPLY THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!l
There tons of excellent musicians but Dave is Premier!!!!!!
What's killer is he makes it look easy - mind blowing!
Best drummer of all time. I’ve never seen a bassist like this as well.
Insane performance. Incredible. All the musicians are virtuosos. Weckl’s playing is smoother than a baby’s bottom covered in talc powder.
many thanks for downloading this awesome stuff!!!
Thanks a lot! These guys know their craft!
As many people already said, and considering of course that all are top level musicians, I really love how Buzz contributes with his performance on here. Such a talented as underrated guitarist.
Dave was already a genious back then. Even improving today (if it was possible...) with refinements. Real master
Buzz Feiten is actually on the Olivia Newton John "Physical Tour DVD from 1982 that I have. The other guitar player is Michael Landau! If you listen, you hear some very good playing! Great concert!!!!
Tenho 70 anos e 60 anos de música, ficou estarrecido com TD w estou ouvindo, mágico, acima de TDS as médias genial.
Wow, Amazing!
Tks for the video.
I love listening to talented drummers
That sax and keyboard duo at 58:30 is legendary. Pure understanding and collaboration
I used to play in a jazz/fusion band, and we did covers of Mud Sauce and 101 Shuffle. They were such great improv tunes and a lot of fun to play.
Yeah! My favorite iteration of Dave Weckl band - w/ buzz!
Access Denied
1:24:25
Thank you Dave !!
I like Weckl gigs from the 90s. Better than the current ones
There's so much going on and yet there's still space in the music!
The most terrifying drum solo I’ve ever heard , Dave weckl is off the charts , he’s illegal. Not from this world . Thank ya David for existing. GOAT by miles .
That stick recovery @1:03:21 was incredible :O
Wow Some More Good Weckl, Big Surprise! Thanks!
And 8 People Need To Be Shot
I really like that group I wish they'd still be out there
What a wonderful, amazing band.
Absolutely fantastic
Wow - what a great, great * 100 video!! The version of 'Someone's Watching' (located in the 30 - 40 minute range) is nothing short of amazing!!
Tom Kennedy is just as good with his bass guitar as Dave is on drums. This is pure dynamics and skill on display here. That last number was explosive and awe inspirational. If I could do that then I would have all of the skills and talents to perform for anyone! And those drums sound incredible. He pulled out everything he had in that performance.
Best jazz rock band on Earth
HE IS THE LEGEND
thank you weckl
Well, i'm buzzed!
He's a genius! 👍👍
Nobodies cymbals and drums sound as good as Dave's, absolutely genius playing.
His drum mix sounds amazing!!!
Even Dave Weckl voice is awesome.
Prelijepo nice srdačan pozdrav
Thank you Mr Dave
Saw this amazing version of the DWB in Nashville 's Gibson Cafe back in the day... One of the best live fusion performances I ever saw... They killed, knocked the roof of the motha'!
Superbe concert ! Merci !

Sobre natural esse solo! D guitarra coisa mais linda! Me faz viajar
1:22:32 RLLRRLLR RLLRRLLR
Thank you, Mr. Weckl!!

wwwwoooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! WHAT A LICK!
wwwwoooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! WHAT A LICK!
He even sounds musical when he drops a stick! (See 1:03:23)
Wauu...amazing,para mi Weckl sigue siendo uno de los bateristas mas completos de la historia...excelente interprete,educador,compositor,productor...commpletisimo.
Dat music is great!
Dave if you read this, you were not just in the pocket there... you went all the way through and successfully redeemed a thigh bone for a trophy... that was awesome man.
Awesome!! Thanks for the video :-)
Dave il solito bravo batterista ma una ottima esecuzione del tastierista poi tutti bravi precisi ma soprattutto dei bravi professionisti complimenti.
28-08-1998 it was a friday not a thursday :) Joking :P
Great upload! Great concert with awesome musicians!
AMAZING, AWESOME, WONDERFUL!
Increíble esta vara!!!
GREAT! The 90 : all time best of fusion!
TUTTI Superlativi Assoluti!!! MA *COSA FA*, Weckl: è davvero incredibile............... Non c'è un solo istante in cui non sia Sublime, nel suo modo UNICO di Suonare....... Perfetto. Assoluto IN TUTTO quello che fa.
Weckl?..... SEMPLICEMENTE: IL PIU' GRANDE DI OGNI TEMPO. Da lasciarti senza parole.............. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Louie C.K. has a beautiful melodic sense on the clarinet. Breath taking!
that shit just made my day! gracias man
Dick Nixon it's good to observe I wasn't the only one seeing that
This is even funnier now that Louie was caught doing weird shit.
That might have been funny if he actually looked like Louie C.K.
sono certo che sia il migliore per qualsiasi band. Dave suona per dieci.
Uma viagem musical, talvez uma performse única.
real master, even back then at this young age....
So much power from Dave
Incredible. Classic Weckl. WOW.
Jay is a genius!
The best gig, the best band
To all young musicians: listen and learn from the best, Dave and the band!
The master of the universe!
Dave my favorite
Acoltiamola tutta, la musica. Signori e Signore mr. Weckl.
Love it!
Someone watching and song for Claire are in my top 3 of weckl's song .
+Thomas Duchein Such beautiful compositions!
T o my mind the best band he ever had !!!! On his name as a leader
Awsome band!!
This was the way after I graduated😢
Tom Kennedy on Bass ? ... Genius indeed !!!
If you were born on the day of this show, you'd be able to legally buy a beer in about six weeks. And that's weird, because to me it feels like this album came out yesterday.
⏳sure does ✈️ !
Love it🤘🏻🥁🎸🎹🎸🎷
At 1:14:27 is the most incredible drum solo I've ever seen in my life, no questions asked.
The funny thing about these top level drummers is they're only there because they worked for it when you're as technically skilled as weckl or gadd or buddy rich you can play whatever you want and it will be considered amazing, feel is definitely a more difficult thing for a drummer to grasp but I believe anyone can develop it if they play for long enough
Me encantaaaaaaa....!!!.El mejor batero se jazz lejos,y para fucionar el mejor.Me gusta como se adapta a las armonias y melodias.Muy sutil para tocar..!
¿batero?
That foot pedal rhythm starting at 1:17:37 is awesome. I would like to learn more about your method of keeping that going so smoothly. Actually that whole drum solo is beautiful. I'm pretty sure that I could get the fills done, but I can't seem to find the foot Independence as well.
