You said the word: masterpiece. It such is. HH and his band demonstrated they could discover the future with their musical journey. I love the way this is a techno track but still a jazz masterpiece. HH was way beyond his season on this one. Just amazing!!!

This is when life was simple. Beat childhood! Being a kid in the 80"s was fantastic!

Jesus H. that was so mind blowing to see the song performed live...And the way the crowd was dancing to it. that's when Club music was still music played by bands. Expertly done by a Master musician and his group. He learned from the best...Miles D.

I saw this when i was a kid.

June 2023!!! Still Listening!!!

Love the mallets on the conga and bongos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I remember starting a weekend watching this as an impressionable 12 year old. Changed my life.

Love this extra footage ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am blown away, how much went into producing just that one performance. Total respect due, super funky fresh

I remember watching this and immediately loved it for all it's weirdness. And the track itself was ''Fresh''

80s Beautiful Hip Hop. Hip music sounds. DJ. Scratch. Jazz. Funk. Dance. Beat. Rhythm. I wanna be cool, too. Fantastic.

Back in the days just before music ended .... enjoy

Herbie Hancock, a man for every season👍🏾

For a single song...everyone went rockit!

Saw Herbie with steel pulse in the early 80s during the rock it tour ! Great show !

I can remember waching this. I was glued to the tv wachin. Class tune....

cutting thee edge man herbie is the best at what he created actual proof is in the puddn right here

Great live version - longer than the album version, very cool intro

Chicago, mid-eighties, Limelight bar - had the "dancing legs" circling above the bar. "How absolutely cool," thought I - until I was introduced to GRACE JONES...Laid back and GROOVED on a rainy day!

Круто!

This man was way ahead of his time ON PLANET EARTH

He is ahead of his time

Brilliant track with an excellent stage setting in the studio, they went to great lengths!

Best song ever !!

Love to hear Herbie light it up at the end!

You just don't see stuff like this any more. It saddens me.

Quite rare for a jazzer not to insist on showing off his chops, as they so often do. Hancock has a great sense of restraint and taste.

hell ya, so distinctive sounding...Neil Peart (Rush drummer) had a full set behind his stool on a rotating platform with his sick massive Pearl DX acoustics up front- played BOTH sets as they revolved around him, during the YYZ solo! You physically could feel the rolls thudding into your chest! I was *there* front row, Moving Pictures tour '82. Almost got a broken stick tip in the forehead lol! Caught a pick Alex (guitarist) zinged right to me. Great show... Also, if I recall correctly, Rick Allen (Def Lep drummer) worked with Simmons to develop a custom designed set after he lost an arm rolling his Corvette...really gave them that distinct top/bottom syncopated sound. 💪🤘

Брэк Дэнс супер ммм

studio version entered Billboard Sept 10, 1983 ..reached 71 Dance Chart reached #1
