Me and 2 of my friends were the roadies for the band through Italy and France in November, 1971. We snuck in earlier in the day posing as roadies and were caught by the sound engineer Whitey Davis . We ended being hired because the previous roadies had quit in Yugoslavia. Setting up those huge speakers was tricky. Great to watch them improvise each night. Lots of stories to tell.

The great James Mtume on congas !....post exit from The Strata East Mothership .along with Gary Bartz and Ndugu on drums . A visionaire of sound in his own right !❤❤

Bro why are people hating on this in the comments what the hell is going on, this shit is peak Miles.

Dont know either. Its one of the funkiest and yet catchy Miles sets from 70's.

Jarrett and Henderson oh my goodness the whole energy is mind blowing. Miles takes you were you haven't been before 🎺🎷🎹🎸🥁🪇✨️🎶🎼🎵🌠🔥🙌🏿👏🏾💯💫

This Band is where Miles was moving away from being surrounded by 'Jazz' players -- and He came to realise He needed "a different type of Musician," to play the Funk-grounded Sound He was feeling. Depending on which Concerts you may hear from this '71 Tour -- THIS Aggregation of Miles' Band DID have a Sound. But in between the Funk of '72-5, and THE ABSOLUTELY EXPLOSIVE "LostQuintet," from '69-70: it gets buried. Ndugu Chancellor wasn't quite comfortable with the Grooves Miles wanted, but He was committed to working WITH him..and he got Tighter, as the Tour progressed.

One of many things you could say about Miles. He never stopped expanding his vision. Big Fun, On the Corner etc. were mysteries to people used to the cool jazz and the bebop Miles came out of. He was fusing Sly, Jimi and James Brown into a singular style of unnameable genre. Beyond the fusion of late Weather Report. I Sing The Body Electric was music created to paint pictures in your mind.

@@michaelbrickley2443 when you point out ALL of the Avenues that sprang from what He was doing -- to me, THAT proves how fertile and crucial that work was. You are correct when you say all of His statements weren't the Clearest, or made the 'tightest connection; I myself had issues with Al Foster's playing ride cymbal, the amplification equipment in terms of quality, AND Miles not avidly seeking a keyboard player to communicate in the Sound.

Those journey's Keith takes on this are just amazing......thank god someone caught this all for us to enjoy....such an interesting time it was in that band in 1971 doing Live Evil stuff

great stuff. full disclosure i am a Miles fanatic. when i was first trying to get into jazz my brother said i should listen to Miles Davis. So i did. i started with my funny valentine and my jaw was on the floor about a minute in. stareted collecting all the 50's and early to mid 60's stuff. loved it all. then i got to hear Bitches Brew. it's not that it was a new thing to me. it was beyond anything that i could even imagine. it was like he reached back to Africa and the beginning of mankind and tapped into something supernatural. never had the vocabulary to express it. when i purchased the "isle of white" dvd, "call it anything" one of the commentators described his experiance as everything that he ever hoped music could be. and when heard it for the first time he was like climbing the walls. give or take. i think that sums it up for me. i was never the same after hearing that. thank you very much for posting this. Thank God for Miles Davis. he was touched by "god" and shared it with the world.

L'évolution esthétique de Miles depuis ses débuts avec Charlie Parker jusqu'à sa retraite provisoire (1975-81) est extraordinaire et unique dans l'histoire du jazz, et peut-être de la musique elle-même.

Big fan of this era and lineup! I miss Keith Jarrett on electric keyboards. He had a special approach to the Rhodes in particular. He’s all over the Complete Jack Johnson Sessions and I just eat that stuff up like candy. So cool to SEE it as well as hear it after all these years!

Spectacular, Miles was always changing, always ahead of the curve. Guitarist and teacher in LA. Accomplished player but not a world class player like some friends. Was talking with Mike Stern about Miles, about what was the most 'out there' of Miles recordings. Mike replied, "Oh man, the live at the Plugged Nickel shit. I dig it but still don't get it." I was immediately left in the dust.

How can you both 'dig' it and not 'get' it? Stern (und Drang) was one of Miles's most inappropriate group members, and I can completely see how he might have thought he'd joined The Mahavishnu Ork or Corea's Elektrik Band, in order to make a tone-deaf contribution to one of the trumpeter's most useless bands.

Miles's music with the briefly-electrified Jarrett has always been a personal fave. The 6 x CD 'Cellar Door Sessions' are also highly recommended for those who have the stamina - so much better than the 'On the Corner' funkathons from a year or so later, imho. The Jarrett/DeJohnette duo on a 1971 ECM record, 'Ruta + Daitya' is a seldom-remembered curiosity from this period, and which I would recommend to the curious, and/or obsessive from this most interesting period of early jazz/rock/funk. There ain't nothing else quite like it (and in a good way).

Great concert !!!

1:03:00 to about 1:07:30 This is not so much "Funky Tonk" as a solo interlude Jarrett's , which can be found in all concerts of the 1971 European tour, and not only in this period, but already at the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS in December 1970. In the complete edition of these legendary performances - available for listening on streaming services - they are labeled Improvisation#x. Perhaps these still relatively short free solo improvisations are the seeds of Keith Jarrett's later extended solo concerts. Consider that one day after this performance at CHATEAU NEUF in Oslo, on November 10, Jarrett's first ECM album was recorded at Arne Bendiksen Studio Oslo: FACING YOU. The sound engineer was Jan Erik Kongshaug. Track No. 1 has the visionary, almost future-forecasting title IN FRONT
