I was at that concert! When I went to take a leak after the concert, Jaco was taking one right next to me :-). On the same night, there were Art Blakey and Klaus Doldingers Passport, two days earlier, there were Billy Cobham-George Duke, with the young John Scofield and McLaughlin's Shakti, two days later Stan Getz, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, the next day Sarah Vaughn. We slept in the courtyard of the Montreux casino. My god, those were the days...
@@allinthemind2006 Yes, I did. And we also talked. My parents, the trumpetplayer Oscar Klein and my mother, jazzsinger Miriam Klein, grew up with Joe Zawinul in Austria. So I told Jaco to tell Joe that I'm here and to let me go backstage to say hello. Jaco answered: «I cannot tell Joe to let you come backstage, but I could certainly ask him.» I got a free english lesson from the amazing Jaco Pastorius :-).
5:55 my heart breaks. he's so young and clean, his mental demons haven't attacked him yet. It's an honor to see him at this stage. Belongs in a time capsule, that's how important Jaco is
I was thinking the same thing. Except for the word "talent". I was wondering if it would EVER be possible to witness something like this again? Probably not. But, I would be happy to be proven wrong. But, with only 674,000 some views since 2012, what are the chances another group of musicians getting this diverse, creative, and motivated for some serious killer jams still in the vicinity of Jazz.
Is it just me, but does it look like Zawinul has never been happier? Maybe because he knows he's finally got the tightest, best band on the planet in 1976. Can't stop watching this.
It was an incarnation of WR I did not like quite as much as this one but if we're just talking about the expression on Zawinul's face, I think there were some moments with Omar Hakkim where he looked a bit happier. There's a Tokyo concert I'm thinking of (avail here on YT) Regardless, I think there's no question he was proud of having the best band in existence.
zawinul is an ass. he doesn't deserve such great musicians. an Austrian Nazi. fuck him. everything he did after this great band was crap. he never again got the music people interested in him. so he gave a whole lot of shit to everybody. this band carried him. he didn't carry anybody.
@@willemsengers6017 Err, I just got into WR, but seems to me he composed some of the best modern jazz melodies. And a Nazi? I remember hearing him say he was a racist yeah...because he only ever listened to black music.
Here's Weather Report in their prime....Saw them 5 times back then...Really was going to see Jaco each time...Alex Acuna ; one of the greatest drummers on the planet!
No muchos peruanos te reconocen hoy Alex, pero los que sí te queremos mucho porque quién no sería capaz de reconocer tu maestría y hasta donde has llegado gracias a eso
I've always tried (and failed at) reading Wayne Shorter. What is going on in that genius brain? He always looks so forlorn. But I sure feel every note he plays! My fav saxophonist.
This was the summer of 76 ,to this day one of the hottest ever in Europe and you can see the sweat dripping off all of these musicians, so I think it’s just physical discomfort.Dripping sweat must be awful for a sax player. Wayne’s concentration levels are incredible, and I think he keeps still and expressionless so that he can deliver to the max.
Almost seems like he was worn out with maybe Zawinul and the pissing contest that Zawinul may have had w Jaco...maybe lack of creative space for Shorter...I think Zawinul crowded his ideas...if that makes sense...just my uneducated guess
@@Thundergod- I love Chester Thompson and Peter Erskine, but my 3 favorite WR drummers are (in no particular order) Eric Gravatt, Alex Acuna and Alphonse Mouzon. I could conceivably replace Mouzon with Erskine based on Erskine getting to show more than Mouzon did while they were each with WR. Mouzon's best work for me was away from WR.
They were at the Stanley in the winter of 76, if I remember correctly. It sold out and I couldn't get in. I stood by the marque all night and listened. Froze my ass off. It was the best show I never saw.
I saw Weather report in 1982 at The Palace in Columbus Ohio. Awesome show....Jaco played two basses at once with an echoplex...the song was Purple Haze....killer show.
Forty-three years ago....Jaco stunned The bass community, much like Scott LaFaro did with Bill Evans... NO one played like that before, just a standard vintage Fender Jazz Bass, but with a defretted and coated fingerboard, ans Rotosound stainless round wound strings... the lines, technique, his use of harmonics.... Now, it seems like EVERY new 'bass star' or 'phenom' is just imitating him, and his sound. Bill Milkowski's book on Jaco's life is a great read.
I saw them during the Heavy Weather tour. At the time, I was about 27 and still trying to be the bast bassist I could. That night I heard/saw this punk guy named Jaco. I handed him my hopes for the bass that night. He was doing stuff with that Jazz Bass that no one else was. Within a couple of years, you could not escape his sound on every fusion record there was. I completely agree Dave with your assessment. He did a solo section with an Echoplex and the rig shown that rearranged my world musically, and I had been gigging for a living for 5 years before that.
Manolo badrena was my next door neighbor when i was a kid. His drum practice studio was some 20 feet from my parent’s room. I remember seeing him with his long hair and all.
this music still sounds fresh and crisp to me after all these years. very unique sound, very tight playing, very gifted musicians. makes me feel blessed and grateful!
Oh man there's so much joy here between the players and the music they're creating. You can see it in Joe's eyes - pure and childlike, which says a lot for a man who was pretty demanding and hard with high expectations and a competitive mean streak.
They were all great musicians and talented instrumentalists who came together to blend one of the most eclectic styles of sound yet to be replicated. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to grow up in that era.
I learned modalites and practiced and practiced and practiced Wayne Shorter riffs and listened to every WR album (that's right youngun's - albums) over and over and over. I wore out the grooves! Best band ever!!
@@blairjones8231 all subjective bud, everyone has music they like and dislike, or what bores them or makes them happy, gotta have respect for it all though, its art
Saw them in concert around 1977 in Chicago. To date, one of the best bands that I have ever seen live. Jaco did a solo that brought the house down, totally mindblowing! I love how he altered his Bass to make it play the way he wanted it to play. Try playing a "fretless" Bass like that. No one playing either before or since even comes close to Jaco. Those were the good old days when music was amazing & musicians had real talent, unlike the crap around today. Thank you Jaco & the crew of Weather Report for the great music that you gave the world.
Everyone who's compalining about the camera work: When have you seen an instrument that close? Jaco got a whole solo. Stop being bass greedy. It's a BAND and a compilation of cuts. They chose from SEVERAL cameras and the matched the audio. The music is fine, no distortion, the video is a bonus. .
I’m glad I saw them live in London in the late 70’s. I only remember they were magic and I was swinging from my tree! Weather Report never has bad weather.
Brent Jackson :His way of landing on the “1” weather it be 4/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8....etc is just amazing.....speed never mattered, he always said it was usually just two fingers flicking and raking,.... that’s when you “become” your instrument when you explain it that simply, in my opinion. I’m a funk/Jazz drummer and would give....a lot....to play with that man. The older I get, the more I “hear” in his performances ....for example from 7:55 to 8:13....what a beautiful riff to send you on a “ear learning” tangent....and yes....what an animal....and what an inner animalistic inspiration
@@minorthreat8240 You and I need to jam my friend. I've been searching for many a year for a drummer that loves this type of music and appreciates the genius of Jaco Pastorius III like I do. Truly one of the greatest influences and inspirations of my entire musical journey. I sincerely hope you read this and that you live in the NY area. Get in touch with me. I play guitar and just to give you a brief idea of my style, Hiram Bullock along with Jaco drastically changed the way I play my instrument. Think Live in NYC Vol. 2. I have a bass player that can really throw down too. Paulvonwiegand@verizon.net
Damn shame you're not in London - I'd be up for a jam - I'm a Joe obsessed/influenced keys player - I did a tribute set to Joe covering Weather Report and Syndicate repertoire back in 2008 just after he passed away with my UK fusion band Curfew...……….@@techmiter6299
Pastorius debe ser el mejor o uno de los mejores bajistas de la historia llegó tan alto como virtuoso y cae tan bajo x sus dependencias hay que recordarlo en lo grande y que lo pequeño sea ejemplo para que no se repita. RIP
I had heard that alcohol was involved in his death, and in the music business it's been far to common someone has got out of control with it. if your an out of control addict of any kind in the business, you better get a handle on it because people don't care about you enough when you stop looking after yourself.
@@jackburton6998 Oh yesss ! I will never forget this fraternal encounter! A cosmic "Full 🌕 Connection". We were a good ten aliens, vibrating blissfully four meters from the great Jaco, on this little flying carpet and we sweated abundantly with these genius musicians. What a masterfully filmed ten-fingered solo! I kept this rug preciously. Although it has aged somewhat, it still flies very well. This summer, I used it to spend a few days of family vacation on the planet Gong. And at this moment, as I write these few exciting lines, etc, etc :)
My favourite incarnation of this wonderful band. I remember seeing them on the Night Passage tour in the early 1980's with the great Peter Erskine and Bobby Thomas Jr at the Birmingham Odeon....what a great great night...
10:52 tune Cannonball from album Black market is one of the most beautiful Weather report /Jaco tunes. (A hommage to Cannonball Adderley) 14:44 The outro w Jaco bassline and Wayne and Joe soloing over it is a cry moment both here and on record 😭
I just recently started learning about Jaco and I don't know why I didn't do so earlier. How I overlooked him when I have loved Weather Report all these years is beyond me
Who else was in love with Jaco in these days? I was 15 years old then. Is this really 76 and not 77? Totally blown away by Weather Report and followed Jaco as much as I could after that.
Brian Hammer I’m a huge Yes fan, but Chris Squire is an absolute child next to Jaco. And Stanley Clarke-what a monster player-couldn’t begin to play harmonics the way Jaco could. Not even close.
Not being a jazz fan in particular, but liking it very much, I sometimes forget that there is such a music scene in Europe. When I think "jazz" my mind doesn't immediately fly to Europe, but, here it is! Very cool!
@Wadsmitter the classical technique is different, classical is a stop and thumb pluck affair Van Halen hammers the string onto the fret at the appropriate interval, Eddie didn't invent too many techniques he just made the world aware of them☺
@@rjlchristie you're missing the point I was trying to get across, Van Halen sometimes taps between the frets which gives you the note at the interval between the hammered note and the fret (or nut) below. The other technique he uses is tapping directly onto the fret giving harmonics , Jaco isn't tapping the harmonic
Weather Report "WITH" Jaco Pastorius!!?? He was in the band, your title implies he was a guest performer. He was the next to last bass player in the band. C'mon, he was phenomenal AND you ought to be accurate your description. Weather Report was a great band and true WR fans appreciate their growth in all their derivations.
Probably captures the time when this all came together for Weather Report. This was a storm OK. Zawinal actually really enjoying himself, he got Jacko with him and the rest of the greatest line up innit. All the line ups that joe had were all full of great players and its all worth watching BUT this is actually the genuine article.
Saw this version of this band three times that year of 1976. Thank you for posting this, because it takes me right back. Jaco, young and not yet wrecked, is beautiful. So much joy in the way this band played.
Alejandro Acuna percusionista peruano mostrando el camino de la excelencia y escuela muy a pesar de las limitaciones del entorno musical de perulandia, ya que la mayoria de musico estan abocados a registros musicales muy limitados(folklore, chicha o creolla) el tiempo es el mejor juez y la constancia un premio,

He was fabulous ! ❤
I'm sure Zawinul knew what he had with him. Swiss clockwork presicion.

Fortunately we have these recordings as time capsules to savor.
Totally agree with you Jamie, and he was very much in his prime without a doubt.
A Shooting Star that came from nowhere and went right back there too soon! I have seen 3 in my lifetime: Jimi, Jaco and Tony Williams. That's been it.
The talent on this stage is unreal. Wow is all I can say....

it s coming from nowhere .....Alex is a preacher on drums.....
Soon after this gig, Manolo Badrena, the other percussionist, was fired for "non.musical reasons" - wonder how he had messed it up...

had the great privilege of seeing this line-up

It’s crazy and sad the way Jaco lived his last days. They named a Park after him in our home town, Oakland Park, Fl.

Incredible band that was so far ahead of their time. Jaco, Rest In Peace, brother.

Alex Acuña el único musico peruano que deja en alto el nombre del Perú.
I saw Acuna in an interview. He said he was Porte Rican.
@@breedurham1288no, he is peruvian, other different thing is that he lives in puerto rico and speak like one
Who else was in love with Jaco in these days? I was 15 years old then. Is this really 76 and not 77? Totally blown away by Weather Report and followed Jaco as much as I could after that.
The facial expressions say it all....Amazing capture!
Nobody was doing anything like this on the bass at this time. Incredible playing!
sigh ... Stanley Clarke, Chris Squire ... that old Jaco-did-it-first placard was tiring even 25 years ago
Brian Hammer 😂
Brian Hammer I’m a huge Yes fan, but Chris Squire is an absolute child next to Jaco. And Stanley Clarke-what a monster player-couldn’t begin to play harmonics the way Jaco could. Not even close.
Greg Adamson Well said that man!
@@grega.4556 Rubbish. Pastorious had a certain style, and that's about it.
Not being a jazz fan in particular, but liking it very much, I sometimes forget that there is such a music scene in Europe. When I think "jazz" my mind doesn't immediately fly to Europe, but, here it is! Very cool!
One of the most impressive gigs on the net imo. Great, real hard working/playing guys while they seem to have fun (Joe at least or Manolo).
Loved this band.
🐸 16:10 Here comes the Bird Sound👍 First Time I have heard a human using that sound so amazingly well✔️ thank you so much 🙏
Now I know where Eddie Van Halen picked up his chime technique! Jaco was amazingly ahead of his time!
+Xcorgi Nope, he wasn't. He was in his own time just perfectly, thanks.
Xcorgi mate people have known about harmonics on stringed instruments for centuries
@Wadsmitter the classical technique is different, classical is a stop and thumb pluck affair Van Halen hammers the string onto the fret at the appropriate interval, Eddie didn't invent too many techniques he just made the world aware of them☺
@@hughjarrse "Van Halen hammers the string onto the fret "
You appear to be describing VH's "tapping" technique. Harmonics are a different thing.
@@rjlchristie you're missing the point I was trying to get across, Van Halen sometimes taps between the frets which gives you the note at the interval between the hammered note and the fret (or nut) below. The other technique he uses is tapping directly onto the fret giving harmonics , Jaco isn't tapping the harmonic
Wayne is simply amazing. Can't get over this guy. What a band. In times of absolute mediocrities.
Miss 'ya, Wayne!
Weather Report "WITH" Jaco Pastorius!!?? He was in the band, your title implies he was a guest performer. He was the next to last bass player in the band. C'mon, he was phenomenal AND you ought to be accurate your description. Weather Report was a great band and true WR fans appreciate their growth in all their derivations.
Magnifique ! Toujours aussi prenant . Vraiment le top .Pastorius a donné ses titres de noblesses à la basse.
This is cool because Jaco is here but it's REALLY REALLY cool because Manolo Badrena is here! That cat really adds joy to any music.
I've been a fan of Weather Report from day 1 and I like this band the most... even without a big name drummer... Acuna is great. He works at it.
this its a great album and the late jaco in its height of his career...
Probably captures the time when this all came together for Weather Report. This was a storm OK. Zawinal actually really enjoying himself, he got Jacko with him and the rest of the greatest line up innit. All the line ups that joe had were all full of great players and its all worth watching BUT this is actually the genuine article.
Saw this version of this band three times that year of 1976. Thank you for posting this, because it takes me right back. Jaco, young and not yet wrecked, is beautiful. So much joy in the way this band played.
(Napoleon Dynamite language) LUCKY!
My goodness what astounding beautiful vibrant music.
Quincy Jones, summed the band up best: "It was a privilege to attend a Weather Report concert !"
I just now discovered this groovy ass jam. WOW!! All the wasted years of not knowing. Got it now..
I never saw them. This is fantastic . I never saw Jaco either great stuff.
Alejandro Acuna percusionista peruano mostrando el camino de la excelencia y escuela muy a pesar de las limitaciones del entorno musical de perulandia, ya que la mayoria de musico estan abocados a registros musicales muy limitados(folklore, chicha o creolla) el tiempo es el mejor juez y la constancia un premio,
Everyone seems to be enjoying everyone.thanks for the post.
昔新宿厚生年金会館のライブ見に行きました。正に圧巻のライブでした！
Listen to a funky Jaco on that bass. The GOAT in his prime!
damn, this is great !.........wish I paid attention to this band back in the day but thankfully for recordings, it's never too late I guess
And Wayne’s blowin was such an integral part of their sound - he took chances....
A remark you made is one of their best songs, Jacos bass is so erie
Meraviglia! Thank you so much!!
Jaco, man. He was Not Of This Earth.
Acuna is kicking ass on the drums!!!
Living groove
What a lineup.
THE BEST LINE UP EVERRRRRR
Bellissimo! Travolgente👌👍👏👏👏
