Billy Cobham was and is the greatest drummer to ever live on this planet earth. I do really wished that we could have meant. My name is Steve Wood. I was an up coming expired by drummers like you. Thank,You, for your great playing and performing. I wish that i could have been exactly like you. Mr, Billy Cobham.😊

I just found this in 2022. Like holy shit, that's good. ❤️

Had this originally on vinyl that I bought around 1984 from a used record store; just finding this live version now- in 2022. Stuff like this is so HOTT, it should be able to blow COVID back to where it originates - i.e. out of humans!

The guitar solo is just sick ...jeez

Good lord! What a jam, all the players! I played drums for 30 years and could not ever hope to keep up with Billy.

Jeez, I love Zappa (who learned me music), Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin etc. but the ever best is this one🙂. Thanks Billy, Jan, and Jeff (sorry for you being gone - I meet you in the other world)

I will NEVER stop coming back for more of this. When they go to double time at 3:25 all hell breaketh loose

A channel with only Billy Cobham: happiness!! 🤩

that Mk1 Rhodes in the beginning... what an accurate timing.

Ahhhh! Those were the best days of my drumming career! Out of North Texas had a 5 piece doing these fusion arrangements. Loved it!!! Bless Billy Cobham!

Super que j'écoute depuis 89

It was the era,the 1970's.There may be a lot of musicians emulating this style of music now,but it all started in the late 60's,early 1970's.No musicians were playing like this as late as 1965.This was a completely unique style combining jazz,rock,and Latin music.

Кобом гениален. И этим все сказано. Таких музыкантов как он можно назвать "МИДАС" - любая музыка у них превращается в золото

Superb...Bravo... Thanks for posting - Cheers from Seattle!

Finally figured it out: Dean's playing his new toy, a 1982 Roland GR 505.

Gil Goldstein push the band,Cobham and Landers accelerate to follow him !! Great !

SOLARRRRR ! SOM PRÓSPERO

Oh McGawd! Sublime. It's the difference between playing a song perfectly and playing it as it wished to be played in that space, in that setting, in that time. Utterly sublime.

Yay, Billham Cobly! Love the music, don't love the camerawork. Somehow the director managed to miss all the 'important' moments! Lots of close-ups of, er, things up-close, but I wanted to see the guys playing. Preferably all of them. At the same time. Sigh. The best thing about listening to records (as opposed to watching videos) is that when you close your eyes, the camerawork's always perfect...😁

Was this the Glass Menagerie band? I used to have the cassette tape of this concert. I think it was called Live And Smokin.

I need to know what envelope filter he is using .. so awesome.

Dean Brown is a M O N S T E R !

Dean Brown hits that MIDI just like Jerry Garcia sounds identical ...

Always good to see new Billy videos. This was for me the beginning of the end, though. Specifically, when they launch into double time. What? Turn such a fat and funky textured groove into freaking vaudeville? I don’t believe that Billy made a credible record after Shabbazz. The slide into Muzak started with a couple tracks on A Funky Side of Sings and continues to this day. Compare this version of Baron to that on Shabbaz. Night and day. And the original? Come on. I blame his sidemen, but he hired them. I’ve heard no one say any of this, and I know I’m gonna piss people off - but my heart remains broken as early Cobham is, for me, the greatest of all time. I would take Spectrum onto any desert island a happy man. But Drum n Voice? Come on.

Thanks for mentioning Shabazz. Never heard of it. Listen in. Brillant. After Spectrum I left. Red baron and the Jan Hammer Solo. Hard to top. Then for Jan Hammer Miami Vice. Good for his bank account. Not bad though. For TV. Zeitgeist. Maybe Cobham just likes to play live. Nevermind the musical relevance. You could be a bit more leniant. Cobham is in a way the mathematician of drums. Always precise and mathematicians tend to fade, when getting older.

3:35 Nice guitar face :-)
