Much as I love all the greatest drummers, past & present, in rock & in jazz, to me, Billy was The G.o.a.t. They say nobody could do what Bonham did, what Peart did, Buddy Rich, etc. They are right. But nobody could do what BC did, either. The guy had superhuman skills, power & endurance. For example, check out "The Noonward Race" by Mahavishnu Orchestra, live in April 1972, on the "Mar Y Sol" various artists festival album. It's uncanny, the interplay between him & John McLaughlin. Even in the 1990s, he still had all his chops. Look for a 1992 trio live performance video with him, Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter. He plays with relative restraint, something he wasn't really known for since his stint with Miles, until his solo, which is as explosive as 20 years before.

@@jamesmicucci7028 That Mahavishnu Orchestra performance of "Noonward Race" from the 'Mar y Sol' album you mentioned was my introduction to Cobham, Mahavishnu, jazz-rock fusion and ultimately jazz itself. I was in my early teen years and my mind was totally blown hearing that performance in 1972. Sadly, that Mar y Sol CD is out of print (never made it to CD, I think), but it might be available to listen to on youtube. By the way, you might already know that that performance was heavily edited and the much longer entire unedited performance is included on the 'Best of Mahavishnu' CD.

I used to go to all his live shows around L.A. and we all listened to him in awe and he is truly a humble and beautiful soul. I wish he would release the material he would present with his band, songs like Laya`s dance, outstanding song, among many. Keep on Al(Slim). Love ya! Tommy G.

Clarification: I was referring above to the show with Billy & Jeff Beck. Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group DID play CT in 1976, I believe, at The Pinecrest Country Club in Shelton. And, as I've stated elsewhere here, I saw the Cobham/Duke Band a couple of times at Shaboo Inn in Willimantic, CT. They were fabulous. And, for some reason, I thought they were much better in person than on the live album.

I was fortunate enough to catch them for free, playing outside the Univ. of Florida Student Union in 1976. I even managed to ask Cobham if there were any plans to team up again with Tommy Bolin. He just shrugged his shoulders and went back to breaking down his drum kit. Most of us know the talented but addicted Bolin OD'd in December of that year. Sad but true repeat event all too common in the 1970s.

Much as I love all the greatest drummers, past & present, in rock & in jazz, to me, Billy was The G.o.a.t. They say nobody could do what Bonham did, what Peart did, Buddy Rich, etc. They are right. But nobody could do what BC did, either. The guy had superhuman skills, power & endurance. For example, check out "The Noonward Race" by Mahavishnu Orchestra, live in April 1972, on the "Mar Y Sol" various artists festival album. It's uncanny, the interplay between him & John McLaughlin. Even in the 1990s, he still had all his chops. Look for a 1992 trio live performance video with him, Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter. He plays with relative restraint, something he wasn't really known for since his stint with Miles, until his solo, which is as explosive as 20 years before.

@@jamesmicucci7028 That Mahavishnu Orchestra performance of "Noonward Race" from the 'Mar y Sol' album you mentioned was my introduction to Cobham, Mahavishnu, jazz-rock fusion and ultimately jazz itself. I was in my early teen years and my mind was totally blown hearing that performance in 1972. Sadly, that Mar y Sol CD is out of print (never made it to CD, I think), but it might be available to listen to on youtube. By the way, you might already know that that performance was heavily edited and the much longer entire unedited performance is included on the 'Best of Mahavishnu' CD.

Duke was fresh out of Zappa. Cobham fresh out of Mahavishnu. Johnson fresh out of Weather Report. The who's who of fusion :) I think this was Scofield's first outing in the fusion scene. And what a place to start.

Billy. and Alphonso....wow!!!
Caught show a Taft Theater in Cincinnati. Awesome indeed. Cob showed out time and time again all night. Rolling with one hand, while the other was held high in the air. He was amazing. Mr. Johnson was cold. Duke, "The Duke" period. JS, at the time I had never seen him before. I was 15 or so. I remember tickets were $8.00. I took my sister. What a show! Does anybody remember the warm up act that night?
I saw this band at Hammersmith, London...they opened for Shakti and Weather Report... I think they have had a massive impact for those lucky people who saw them.... I met George and he wanted to take this band further...every musician loved George and would have loved to reform...sadly he passed...he loved this band!!! Love you George!!! X
Look at the amount of kit that both Billy and George have! Al and John are virtually squeezed off the stage.
Никогда не видел этого фейерверка, но слышал фрагменты по радио в 70-х, возможно даже в дни этих концертов. Радиоведущий не сдерживал своих восторженных эмоций. Именно так я и представлял себе эту не видимую, таинственную, звучащую загадку. George Duke остаётся живым и вместе с живым Frank Zappa прямо сегодня зажигают неподражаемо и непревзойдённо. Мы внимательно следили ща ними, и мы знали, за кем следить, а за кем совершенно неинтересно😅 Привет из России/Советского Союза

Sad but true repeat event all too common in the 1970s.
