@@ilanjusth8989you just have to come up with negativity comparing artists who have different styles, Dean Brown played with them both , the Breckers and Dave and never said anything like you did.. grow up.. don’t be a music snob..
@@ilanjusth8989 Nothing to be sorry about. You just claimed your spot as a bonafide dumbass by comparing two such artists and different stylists that are not comparable to begin with. No pro musician I know (and I know quite a few in 50 years being a pro musician) would go out into the middle of the road like you just did and pull their pants down to expose themselves as a total jerk. Allow BOTH of these two unique souls and expressors of music to rest in peace....... and while you are at it leave the rest of us alone.
David Sanborn always lit up the room as a sax player, and I can’t help but admit how much this hurts. I can’t play the saxophone to save my life, but we will all miss David Sanborn, especially me.
I was there in 1981 as a drummer with a college group. This night was amazing. I happened to stumble onto Sanborn, Robin Ford and the Yellow Jackets while they were rehearsing and laying down tracks at a studio the night before. I had just finished a trio gig and heard this amazing sound coming from an open door, A couple of guys invited me and the bass player to come in and check it out. It was a total groove session. Unbelieveable.
I agree, seeing these guys perform in person, was WAY BEYOND what you can get from a recording. Unbelievable SOUND SYSTEM controlled by recording studio professionals, sounded like a sound stage u will never hear in your lifetime.
this was before youtube in 1981 i never thought i,d ever see this concert it was a special night with al jarreau & randy crawford singing duets together
Ahhhh!!! The 80"s. When the funky alto sax players were Grover Washington Jr, Tom Scott and this man here. And on this video, David is clicking on all cylinders. As is everyone else in this band. Smoking stuff.
David Sanborn was the top flite musician on sax! His unique raw/raunchy yet totally under control style has been the number 1 sound and belonged to him alone! It wasn't till Kirk Whalum came onto the scene that that same basic style had a rebirth!!!! Robben is just super!!! ~ FORD ~ ............... HAS A BETTER IDEA~!~
Absolutely smokin'. Funky, funky, funky. Absolutely horrifying. What a band! And as always, Mr. Sandborn lets 'em play. Hard to believe this was 38 tears ago!
RIP David Sanborn. Un son unique et très très très travaillé. Il a inspiré tant de jeune et de moins jeunes saxophonistes qui voulaient avoir son son en étudiant le sax. Pour le reste les gammes etc cac plaît ou ça plaît pas. Mais le son c’était son rayon…le choix des hanches ,leur entretien etc,,,les suraiguës aussi …un grand merci !
I was there, I was 20 at that time. Marcus Miller was this young amazing musician that everybody was talking about at Montreux that year.. I remember that he played also with Al Jarreau and Randy Crawford. Amazing time..
40 years+ THANKS DAVID! Always enjoyed seeing you perform, meeting you backstage, so much fun. U were always really cool to me, and I know your band enjoyed touring with you so much.
Robben Ford has always been one of my favorite guys-right around the 5:38 mark he totally starts going for it, just beyond what he's capable of. The whole band slays-so glad I found this clip!
@@davidseriff711 Jim Tyler was hot-rodding strats for some big-name players by '81, and I think I remember having seen Robben Ford on the roster. Looks like 1vol/1tone + on/off switches for each pickup. It's a Fender neck, but the jack plate is top-mount, which I don't think was typical of Jim's mods. Who knows?
Funk Maestro's! This is truly the Shit! A hidden Gem from the Wonderful World of Jazz, This Star Studded Line Up! 40 years ago Lets take a trip down Memory lane, 19 yr old Bass Phenomenon, Marcus Miller emerges from Lenny White's Band & redefines the Bass & becomes the most selected & sought after Bass player on the Planet throughout the 1980's, Early on He cohesively teamed up with the Great David Sanborn, Together they transformed & gelled a string of huge & successful LP's, Robben Ford, Guitar extraordinaire, Fresh off of his successful solo Album, The Inside Story, Where Ford met & collaborated with drummer Ricky Lawson & Keyboard Wiz Russell Ferrante & The Yellow Jackets Band were Born, Michael Maineri Vibraphone Extraordinaire, fresh off his highly successful Wanderlust LP could play with the best of em, 58th st NY City Funk, Michael Brecker, Peter Esrkine & can't forget Keyboardist Neil Larson riding high off his successful High Gear Album, Unfortunately, They don't play Music like this any more! One doesn't appreciate great Music like this until it's Gone..........
I use to go watch David Sanborn in Concert at “Humphries on Bay” in America’s Finest City. “San Diego California”. He does make a visit there once in still with the Guys. They like playing there because the venue is on the water and seats about 3,500 people.... Never get tired of David Sanborn
Robben's guitar sound has changed through the years - however, he always had and still has THE sound that other guitar players can only dream of. Which proves that his sound is in his fingers and in his head.
The hole band deliver fantastic performance, but Marcus Miller and Robben Ford are outstanding. Its a post of the top 80's golden groups of fusion jazz - fantastic, thanks.
given away some age now but from 70 to74 dave neil larsen buzz feiten tom dawes fred beckmeir and myself had a kick ass band in woodstock in between other gigs. WOW nothin like remembering those wild times and where all still kickin, R,I,P,. tom dawes.those where the days.
OOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEE!! This clip is BEASTING and this band is bringing it HARD! WTF!! Something about american western music and its mass appeal has changed. So much has changed and there is alot of 'artificial filler' out there. Musicans who don't play from the soul as well as use their GOD GIVEN TALENT. This is just one ex of pure talent, real music,giving and getting in return. What a clip. If this doesn't inspire you then I am clueless as to what will. Ricky Lawson and MM=Domination..

Woooow, que bonita musica ,el dia de hoy 27 de abril del 2020 me encontre un cassette, de esta banda etre la tierra yo trabajo en construccion ,y me puse en you tube, aver que tipo de musica tocaban y la verdad me encanto 👍👍👍👍👍👍
R.I.P David Sanborn,
In my generation, he is the most soulful with recognizable screaming signature..a legend.
Sorry but brecker was better
@@ilanjusth8989you just have to come up with negativity comparing artists who have different styles, Dean Brown played with them both , the Breckers and Dave and never said anything like you did..
grow up.. don’t be a music snob..
RIP Mr. Sanborn, listening to your music inspires memories for me.
Hard to believe he’s no longer with us. Sanborn was without doubt my biggest inspiration when I was learning Saxophone.

David Sanborn,
Man with a horn,
So glad he was born.
Yesterday he died,
Today I mourn.

Us
Those were the good ol' days.
Amen and hallelujah!
Robben Ford kills it. I like everything Robben does, but I especially liked his playing in this early 80s Yellowjackets/funk fusion kind of vibe.
Yeah I agree about Robben Ford.
He's absolutely blazing on here!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, so agree Robben is insane musician 💙💙💙💙💙
This is the kind of song that never stops playing in your head, it goes way too hard in the paint
RIP David Sanborn 🙏
Hard!

no

If I’d known about this I would have sold everything I owed for airplane and concert tickets!!! He was at the height of his powers!!!
great story, I grew up with this record 'casino lights'
All it takes is one note and if you know then ya know. RIP Mr David Alto sax Sanborn ❤️
The killing band, Neil Larson, Marcus Miller, Mike Maineri, love to see how David enjoys Marcus’s Solo…RIP David best sax player ever
If I forget what life is about and who I am and what I care about, I play this loud.
Yes!
Marcus goes full Thanos in his solo and puts that Jazz to work. Sounds absolutely phenomenal!
Marcus is 22 here in 1981. Great band, of course David rocks the house.
This outstanding performance could make anyone fall in love with jazz fusion.
You should already be in love with jazz. This is what Jazz is; music from the heart and soul freely express through all to make one sound one band
Marcus Miller, one of the greatest bass players ever to walk the earth
Amen
He was cooking brother
RIP to the man who hooked me to Jazz one car ride in 1982. Thank you Mr Sanborn. Every live performance captivated me 🙏🏾.
this was before youtube in 1981 i never thought i,d ever see this concert it was a special night with al jarreau & randy crawford singing duets together
You're right. Having bought this album in the 80's, always wanted to see this video. Never imagined YT will feature it. Thanks YT!. Thanks TheKimRo!
👍🙂Fantastic!!! R.I.P. Ricky Lawson. Awesome drummer!
I am here cause of mr Robben Ford. Amazing as usual!
Sanborn, Miller, Manieri, Lawson, Ford, Castro, Larson----Royalty!!!
Is that Neil Larson on keyboard?
Such a unique sound! His horn was his like a painter's brush creating a piece of art undeniably his own.
Ahhhh!!! The 80"s. When the funky alto sax players were Grover Washington Jr, Tom Scott and this man here. And on this video, David is clicking on all cylinders. As is everyone else in this band. Smoking stuff.
Couldn't agree more. What a great band, totally killer musicians all of them.

Guurd Loord...what a fookin' smokin' band!!!! RIP David. Thank you!
I was on this concert, and the Miller Solo changed my life. It was a relevation for me! And by the way: the whole night was legendary in Fusion Jazz.
Absolutely smokin'. Funky, funky, funky. Absolutely horrifying. What a band! And as always, Mr. Sandborn lets 'em play. Hard to believe this was 38 tears ago!

David changed my life.
40 years+ THANKS DAVID! Always enjoyed seeing you perform, meeting you backstage, so much fun. U were always really cool to me, and I know your band enjoyed touring with you so much.
Wow, nearly 40 years ago since I bought the Casino Lights album and have always loved it, so to see this footage is awesome.
1983 when I bought the same album. Fell in love with the YellowJackets and Robben Ford. Love them still!
I shook Marcus's hand once,
It's still trembling,
My life away.
Chapeau to both heroes!
Nearly 35 years after - still timeless funky performance... - priceless !
Robben Ford has always been one of my favorite guys-right around the 5:38 mark he totally starts going for it, just beyond what he's capable of. The whole band slays-so glad I found this clip!
His entire solo is just a massacre, truly one of the greatest to every play the instrument
Keep then forever...... James Baldwin .
Damn! What a band!!
MJF 1981; David, Marcus and Co, I was there!!! one of my first concerts. What a time!
Brings back some great memories, may he rest in peace along with some of the other great artist who have passed recently.
A killer version with a killer band!! R.I.P. Ricky Lawson.
Ricky Lawson is delivering a groove I've never heard on this song before. Dude is COLD. RIP
Dam a super band and on point miss them years
I just threw my guitar into the D & R CHIPPER/SHREDDER~!~ iT'S ALL ROBBEN FORDS FAULT TOO~!~
RIP Senor Sanborn.....
Ricky Lawson, a real groove master! Rest in peace in heaven, Ricky.
Great playin of Robben Ford. Fantastic timing and very tasteful!

Thanks for the history lesson. What a blend of East coast and west coast cats. Those were the days.
yea man. Dig it. I was there for this concert. Off the hook tight.
Jazz Funks finest hour and its most colourful. So glad I bought the album that this track came from in1981
I play this late at night in my makeshift sound room and go into a meditative state of mind, and totally alleviate my built up stress for the day.
Marcus Miller! He's "bad"! Cheers from a bassplayer in Sweden! God bless!
Voilà un beau groupe de jeunes gens bien décidés à nous faire bondir. Ils ont mis le feu ! Bravo !!
ROBBEN! PURE FIRE!!!
What rollicking FUN they had that night!!!
カジノライツ レコード出た時買って聴きまくりました。最高のメンツですね 画像見れてとても嬉しい幸せな気持ちになれました。アップしていただきありがとうございました。
Fantastic quality for 1981, nice one! :-)
R.I.P Maestro
Happy 40th! May the Music bring us all together!
Wow, that's just great!❤
What a band..I grew up listening to David with Paul Butterfield..
The best sax sound ever 🔥😻
Robben's guitar sound has changed through the years - however, he always had and still has THE sound that other guitar players can only dream of. Which proves that his sound is in his fingers and in his head.
toomanygittars soule
Robben Ford could get great tone out of a rubber band stretched across a broomstick
Merci beaucoup TheKimRo que des pointures dans ce live ! un must! en 81 j'avais 30 ans!
Marcus Miller for years has been one of my favorite inspiring bass player. And he still is. But on here, he killed that bass solo. It was funky!!
The hole band deliver fantastic performance, but Marcus Miller and Robben Ford are outstanding. Its a post of the top 80's golden groups of fusion jazz - fantastic, thanks.

彼の音楽は一生私の魂を揺さぶるだろう。彼に出会えたことを感謝します。
David you ROCK!
Love me some damn 1970s and '80s David Sanborn
Mike Mainieri = Steps Ahead!
Marcus....you are the MAN!
First ever performance of David Sanborn in Europe, he was excited, and the people attending too
Bass saves the day as usual.
Bro, there's no day to be saved in here! As powerful and groovy Marcus can be, everyone else here is KILLING as well!
The Bsnd Was On FIRE OMG
Funky vibes still hot in 2021! 🙏🔥👍
@funklover24 Funky vibes still hot in 2022!!

Every musician on that stage is a titan in their own right. Very nice upload!

Thriller Miller on bass🎉
What a band! Great solo's and super funky.
Neil Larsen, Robben Ford, and Marcus Miller playing in the same ensemble? That’s amazing
I can't believe that such a wonderful video was left. Thanks for the up. Thank you.
this is one all star line up, but a quick listen reveals more heat than light.
Super
2:50～ Marcus solo awesome！😆
