It was way back in the summer of '77 I had the pleasure of seeing Ramsey Lewis and his band at The Ontario Place Auditorium, Toronto, Canada. Still the best 5 dollars I've ever spent......!
My own personal research...a combination of Googling and cross-referencing with other RUclips videos...has determined that this concert took place in 1980 at Le Spectrum in Montreal, Canada...and. indeed, it was the Ramsey Lewis Quartet, not Trio. The other musicians were Henry Johnson on guitar, Gregory Williams on bass, and Frank Donaldson on drums. In any case, this was a truly awesome concert that wonderfully showcased the late keyboardist Mr. Lewis' truly incredible musical prowess.
Yes, thank you! Ramsey Lewis had that marvelous balance of head and heart, funk and soul. So unpretentious. So real.He was a huge influence and key in me deciding to be an entertainer at the piano for a living. His style made jazz approachable, doable and less ‘threatening’ than Tatum or Peterson!! Maestro Lewis and Dudley Moore knew how to groove and swing! Love 💕
Thank you, RAMSEY LEWIS, for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Your music was part background soundtrack to our once young life and continuing. It was a pleasure meeting you and giving incite on working with Charles Stepney and Maurice White. Quite the learning experience for myself. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.
You will be missed! Your message in the music " People Make the World go Around " will live in hearts for life times. See you on the other side Ramsey.
Mr. Ramsey Lewis is one of my influences in learning how to play the piano/ the keyboard...I saw him at the Hampton Coliseum, Hampton Jazz Fest. twice along with other well known music artists...we love you🌷 Rest In Peace🌷Mr. Lewis🌷

R.I.P. Ramsey Lewis. You will be missed!
And all around good humbled man,who will truly be missed in our shared city..
Gold!! One of the greatest live performances of all time!!
Never seen this before. And he's covering Chick Corea's 500 Miles high - even better! R.I.P Ramsey Lewis..
sun goddess was always one of my favorite songs, so happy to find this concert here
Love that the title is completely wrong….my they are a fine trio….oh wait 😂
1975? Listen to that chorus effect on the bass on some parts. Probably has to be closer to 1980.
awesome
Sensational Awesome!

You Are the Reason
COME BACK JACK!!
unbelievable
Formidable trío de cuatro
Nice 🙂🎶🎧🎤
One of the greatest drumbeats of all time. Too bad it wasn't mic'd right. Can hardly hear it.
Ramsey Lewis Trio? I see and hear a quartet. 3 = trio; 4 = quartet. I may be old, but I can still count.
:-))) Good one!
Plus a guest musician : )0
So Sick
1:13 that groove is nasty
Quarteto incrível 🎉👏, Sir Maurice White é o baterista?
That guitarist is killing it. Name?
Byron Gregory
Henry Johnson!
I’ve been looking for this for years!
What’s the name of the song @14:10?
Spring High - Stevie Wonder
"Spring High" is on his 1977 album "Love Notes".
BET didn't get started till about 1980 so I don't know how this is 1975 lol
From what I can see, it's a four-piece trio.
Or not?
Ain't not "trio" anymore, though... it's a quartet
What’s the first song called?
"500 Miles High" by Chick Correa.
