I was at a concert at Berklee College of Music in Boston, maybe 1978, Brecker Brothers were playing, and Chick Corea just walks out onstage, over to the keyboard player, and motions to him like "Can I play?" Keyboard player's jaw drops, he steps away from the keys, and Chick takes a smoking solo, nods to the crowd, nods thanks to the keyboard player, and walks off the stage. It was surreal.

Someone should have bought Chick a drink. Then again, Berklee isn't a bar. Could've thrown him a Bud Light from the audience though...

Yep, I recall Berklee in the 70s.

I wish all those that upload their drum videos on KZread realise that the secret is in having "soft hands". Look at Gadd effortless. Comes when you become a master after tens of thousands of hours of playing.

At 75 years Chick Corea is still a MASTER 👏

And the same can be said for Mr. Gadd at 72 years.

Heard this album first when I was in college. Mindblowing then, and now.

I have always been a huge Corea fan since the "Now He Sings" album and in the mid 1970's was in a band that played several RTF songs. When I bought Leprechaun & heard "Nite Sprite" I had my "Oh my God" moment especially when Chick & Joe Farrell trade solos. I later had the privilege of seeing Gadd at a drum clinic sponsored by the now-defunct West LA Music. Great to see these two icons playing together again!

RIP to the greatest maestro that ever lived

The Great Young Turk! Guitarist John Mayer said that Chick was the most accomplished Musician that he has ever played with!

It was worth security tossing your camera for me to watch this amazing performance. Thanks for posting.

Sounds amazing with headphones!!! The bass drum!!!!!!!

I came here to study awhile with Steve God. I don't know how many else of you, but I really feel privileged to see him playing.

Mr. Steve Gadd! The one and only! Yeah!

Wow. Just, wow!

Magnifico .😭

Still remember hearing this record years back and being blown away by Gadd's playing.

Ahh i love this ..the leprechaun album is a masterpiece for me ..first live recording i seen of it ....thank you❤

Was a great concert, inspiring for me !!!

Absolutely incredible!

I was at this show. Such a memorable night.

speachless! great!

Armando Corea, sei un grande! Steve Gadd, grandissimo, e il resto del gruppo meravigliosi!

The original of this song, on The Leprechaun album, changed drumming.

agreed, it was a huge revelation to teenage me who mostly knew pop and rock music at the time. I changed schools half way through high school and met a kid who was essentially a piano prodigy, and he turned me on to Chick Corea cat and opened a whole new world.

OMG SO AMAZING THANK YOU!!!

Steve Gadd, made it more beautiful by his rhythms. Best drummer

So joyful/ , awesome and uplifting.

Unbelievable!!!

Great Stuff....................!

Great Gadd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad to see this. I would say, though, that when you have Steve Gadd you don't need another percussionist (kind of getting in the way). RIP Chick.

The percussion jam in the middle....my lord....

BRILLIANT,LIKE BRASSSTARS ON THE BLACK AND WHITE SUNS DRUMMING AROUND MAGIC IN THE AIR,A MOMENT OF FRIENDSHIP WITH THE MUSIC,A PIECE OF HUMAN ART

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm so glad someone captured a live recording of it!!!! I'm amazed at how Chick seemed to always know what little thing to play to complement what another musician in the band was doing. One of the best to ever do it.

Che roba! Fantastico!

Shout out to Steve Wilson on Sax.Hampton Virginia native!!!

Hyper cool!!!

Still brilliant.

I actually thought Gadd did a great job of this and I watched this after I just watch the version with Vinnie playing Night Sprite. Gadd always had a super relaxed feel compared to Vinnie's more driven feel, but I thought Gadd really drove this, no sign of old age here. BTW did anyone notice that Gadd is now playing matched grip? I changed to matched grip about 20 years ago and for me that really took a while to get used to but worth it in the end.
