@@CMC050Stanley was more revolutionary than Jaco. Jaco emulated an upright bass. Stanley invented that bass tone he uses. No one sounded like that at the time. Stanley would get standing ovations waking on stage! I love Jaco, but Stanley was a much greater impact on bass at the time.

@@hawkxxx898Larry is great. But he can’t play lead bass like Stanley.

Stanley truly has his own beautiful harmonic fingerprints. He is one of those rare musicians that are easily recognizable because of their tone, expression and note choices

Billy's hat didn't even move. Ponty is killin it. Stanley is having fun.

I remember watching this on TV in '76 - recording it on some shi**y cassette recorder. Such a time we live in that I can watch this whenever and wherever I want. Wow

An All-Star band!!! WOW!!! Stanley Clarke is one of the most original bassists that has ever played the bass and the main reason why I started playing bass!!! My very first concert was seeing Tony Williams Lifetime opening for Stanley Clarke!!! Often imitated but never duplicated!!! An incredible bassist with mind-blowing musicianship!!!

I remember seeing this show back in the day. I just got that first Stanley Clarke album and no one was playing bass like that in those days...Jaco's fame was right around the corner. Fusion was at its zenith. Being a bassist I just perchased my first fender percision bass. Stanley and Chick were my heros. Jean Luc Ponty was very popular and Billy Cobham was the tee shirt wearing drummer from the Mahavishna Orchestra. Those were the days!!

My sister became an audiophile her freshman year of college. I went with her to a high end stereo store, and a salesman played "School Days" to demonstrate some speakers!! I was like "WTF??!" 😳😳😳

saw Billy, unearthly, and Jon luc, here's four of the finest ever, wow

This never gets old, I wish I could say the same thing thanks kids for all the memories ❤😂

Pure musical joy. Just wish Wondershare wasn't stuck in the middle of the video.

The coolest Cobham ever. It doesn´t get any more casual than this - maybe he´s a bit Lopsy Lu!

Cobham is incredible. I can listen to his grooves for hours.

this is the ultimate jazz fusion supergroup, all they are missing is al demeola on guitar!!!!!!!!

Wow! I was not aware of a version with Billy! This is a amazing line up with Chick and Jean-Luc.

Awesome and the Master JLP MASTER BASSIST Stanley Clarke

Superb performance! Stanley is sublime and Billy is on fire!!!

Stanley and Jaco, cant say much more for electric bass players their music stands alone, pioneers both.

what a dream team!

🙏🏾🙂 I Been Looking for this Tape for Years. I remember Seeing it On PBC Network around 1976. 😁 and was Interduce to Jean-Luc Ponty. A Great Violinist. I Knew Everyone else. But to hear and See Lopsy Lu Live. Was a Dream Come True. 🙂🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

+Kevin Shepard For me it was Soundstage. Stanley and Chick - not sure the rest of the band. Soundstage was the shite back then! First time I ever saw Waits was on Soundstage as well.

I've watched this video 8 or 9 times and keep coming back. Great performers all but I came for the bass and Stanley always delivers!

This is what happens when you put 4 innovators together listening 2 each other and expressing themselves! And it's Fucking catchy and funky! I like the album version with Tony Williams and Ian Hammer too. Cobhams fills are so powerful and fast! But it fits and his feeling and soul always pouring out of him. Obviously I think Cobhams one of the most original drummers of the 70's to now and beyond!? I really hope these guys play or make an album someday soon! we are loosing a lot of the greatest Musician,, legends​ like Allan Holdsworth, Just this past week!jGeorge Duke in 2013 I think 🤔 It would be awesome if this line up recorded at least one-time​ tune before it's too late to!

Clarke...Lu Ponty...Cobham and Corea....Young Folks pay attention...this is akin to watching...Jordan...Jabbar...Magic and Bird...on the same team...God Bless...My Favorites...

4 of the Best to share their talents in their musical instruments blending together . This blows the music away today this is true Talent. you notice they allow each other to express themselves in professionally matter. . Bringing out the best sound.

I admire Jaco, but I GET Stanley!

Amazing how much it still sounds great

this makes me truly happy

Jeff Beck was the lead guitarist on this album that came out after Stanley did a one man show that sold out for an entire week at Carnegie Hall where all he did was play a series of bass guitars. 😎

I’m drooling 🤤 right now! This is an incredible band!

How beautiful it is !!!

cobham wa the best drummer, really impressive, love his sound here, really amazing

This is definitely the sound of 'Fun'.

What a fantastic performance. I first heard Stanley Clark when he collaborated with Jeff Beck for a short period of time. Seldom heard on conventional radio but did hear it on FM underground radio. Love this!!!

This is crazy! This is the first time I've seen this clip and I love it.

We need a "Stan Cam" focused on his hands for the entire song!

Four of the hottest jazz artists at the time. Legendary pioneers all for all time.

Amazing!

a remarkable and pivotal piece. we used to listen to this on vinyl, back when it came out.

Now this is a Gem 💎

This is classic and Stanley has been the man for along..... time creating a vocabulary on the bass like "no" other before or since.

I saw this Soundstage show on TV in '76 in Chicago. It was broadcasted from the WTTW Studios at Northeastern University. I lived for that show being a fusion freak, it was like a dream come true seeing it back then. It was the same year that I saw Return to Forever at the Arie Crown Chicago . . . on a double bill with Weather Report!

I was just completely entertained

RTF and Mahavishnu together. I wish John was in.

What an absolutely fantastic roster

Incredible!

Super footage.

Stanley and Billy are the man Great group!

A very clean recording than I previously found! You don't know how long I've been looking for this very performance! I thank you! I saw this performance on pbs when I was 15 and loved this song. My brother played bass and could follow this song easy. Between this and the album, this is my all-time favorite version of the song. Once again, "THANK YOU"

Wow what a band!

this is awesome first live footage I've seen of him doing Lopsy Lu great musicians great upload

One of the ensembles that got me on drums - Magical!

Lov me some jazz!! Great job!!

And Jean Luc Ponty guys this you may have to play at my funeral of course keep your promise

Cob is nasty on drums! They sound sensational!

Billy Cobham should’ve been on the original recording of this tune, in my opinion.

Modern Jazz Legends.. excellent stuff.

Now that was fun to watch.

Fantastic!

Increible.
