First time I listened to that song in the mid 70's I was on acid!!...man, what a trip that was!!...

This song produced one of the greatest jazz/rock/fusion themes of all time.

WONDERFUL !!!!!! BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !!! 4 EXTRAORDINARY MUSICIANS!! CHIC COREA GENIUS IN MY HEART ! R.I.P. MAESTRO

this tune has been on repeat in my head for... well, forever, it seems like. Sure do miss Chick daily.

Saw them at 19..now 63..long time fan🎶😎

Lenny White kicking ass!

Its an incredible song played by 4 men but of one mind....it's magnificent..beyond words to describe.

...I believe Chick wrote all their parts 🎉

Just a great band. Good recording to. I stood on stage behind Lenny White in Guildford England at around this time when they played this and were promoting "Where Have I Known You Before". Great times back then. Thanks for posting this wonder.

I was fortunate to c rtf in 74- Stanley theater down town pitts pa... just before this lp was released...I think...I do remember I bought one drink at beginning of show...mi still had it at the end... didn't want to miss a note jack... kids now days..just don't know what they've missed

Amazing! :)

This group of musicians were pillars of the new music called Jazz Fusion

Very simply put, Bobby. I couldn't agree more. From the time I was introduced to the band 41 years ago, they were then, and remain my favorite band of all time. Their level of excellence is unmatched. Creative, complex, and alway's exciting!! Cheers from Leamington, Canada.

a musicians band at its best that means other musicians listen to them to be entertained and that takes alot. An example is like when Hendrix went to England. they knew right away what they were dealing with and I know what I am dealing with here. Genius

I was lucky that i heard RTF since i was a teen in the 70' as the Chick's and Stanley solo albums , the Romantic Warrior album always listen from beggining to end , i miss them live at Tampa Florida last time , i regret .

I was lucky to see every tour in the 70's also. The "Where have I known you before" tour was hands down the best concert I've ever attended, and I've attended well over a thousand. No Mystery and Romantic Warrior were both in the top 10 concerts. This band changed the way I hear music to this day.

One of the greatest piece by the 4 MASTERS C S A L ❤

I've heard thousands of CHick Corea solos over the years, but this one beginning at 20:50 is pretty special.

Just saw Al Di Meola in concert, but it was all acoustic guitar. Kind of wish he would get a band together and play some electric tunes from this era.

He's less inclined to play electric as much because of the toll it takes on his hearing. But he, Lenny, and Stanley may actually get together to do some Return to Forever tunes in the near future....

He played Dallas in January 2024, all electric, fantastic show. He had a heart attack in September, but sounded great playing his black Les Paul that he hadn’t touched since like 1974. My personal best showing of him. I agree the acoustic is great but the black Les Paul is fantastic.

Much Gratitude

Still great!!

This is good, though the original, and the whole album it's from, has a special place in my heart. I live in Japan, and can't help but to notice that Japanese Jazz pianists seem to be more influenced by Chick than Herbie (thinking particularly of Hiromi Uehara and Makoto Ozone here). But as I age, I find myself listening to more Herbie than Chick. This was a great line-up ... but I especially like him with Airto and Flora, maybe because I prefer the Brazilian tinge to the Spanish. 🤔

I guess this is a "live" recording of the reunion tour? I like it

C O AGREED! If you've heard one DiMeola Guitar solo, you've heard 'em all! YAWN! Quote by BILL CONNORS ~ "I don't have a huge ego, but it still hurt when people would tell me that I must've listened to a lot of Al DiMeola. I was robbed of my identity, that my Guitar was like a credit card that had been stolen and I'd been left to play the bill." I recommend a track by Jazz Trombonist Julian Priester/Pepo Mtoto called "PROLOGUE/LOVE, LOVE" which was featured on Priester's solo album called "LOVE, LOVE" which was released on the ECM Label in 1973. BILL CONNORS solos on his Gibson Les Paul Standard for a little more than 2 minutes. Connors solos between 8:38~11:02. Bill's solo is more Free Form and his phrasing is out of this world! The track clocks in at 19:25. It's cool funk vamp. The track is on KZread!
