Ιt is great to be able to see watch this amazing band playing this amazing music.** I just wish there was better quality footage of them than this, which leaves a lot to be desired. **Romantic Warrior : The ultimate Jazz-Rock-Prog fusion album.

Meravigliosi sempre

Awesome band..Awesome Album..Never got to see them in concert all together but I did see Al in Denver around 77-78 opening for Weather Report. I was probably one of about 10 white people in the crowd. Rolled about 4 fat purple seedless from Northern Cal for the concert. The people I was sitting around were so jazzed about seeing Weather Report and I told them I was there for Al. They all looked at me like I was nuts. Anyway, about 3 joints in and Al started playing and I looked down the row and all the guys (and girls) were just staring at the stage with their mouths wide open. Blown away.

The Monterey jazz fest. Was always the jazz Mecca until rap invaded , what a bummer………..

Blues at Monterey festival was always a great time, good to be alive………..

Got to see Dizzy at all his concerts and them some………

Bill Evan’s could sound great on a kiddy’s piano and would sound great………..

The toshiko akiyoshi with Lee tabackhin

Dizzy Gillespie the swinginest cat who ever lived……….

Dodi Battglia. orgoglio chitarristico italiano. la faceva veramente cantare quella Stratocaster..

Magnifique pour les mélodies , mais aussi pour la complexité de l'écriture , qui évolue toujours dans une sphère de beauté ! !

Chick is 500 miles high. Saw the RM tour in NYC,figured out a lot of Al's technique. The Shadow of Lo is one of my faves.Was at a famous Zappa concert right in front of stage where Frank stood and he introduced Al as another great Ialian and wrote a song for him called Clowns on Velvet that Al absolutly tore into.Frank had made fun of him on one of his albums where a guitar plaer does some of Al's licks and the vocalist says " sounds like an Elegant Gypsy to me.

Have the vinyl - fantastic

AMAZING.....................THANKS

John De Johnette, what a drummer and what a great act this was.

All present day musicians need to STFUP and kiss these musicians ENTIRE asses

Sitting at Mikes place, hitting the bong and listening to fusion jazz in the mid to late 70’s. Those were the days!

Se gli album degli anni 80 sono deludenti o privi di idee, come leggo in certi commenti.....figuriamoci quelli venuti dopo. Per alcuni, i Cugini di Campagna, le Orme, o i New Trolls andrebbero meglio.

When I started to really absorb music around 13 years old, I started out as a Heavy Metal & a Hard Rock kid with bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Thin Lizzy. Then I moved towards more obscure bands like Steely Dan, Yes, Focus, Frank Zappa & The Mothers. Then when I was 17 years old I discover a genre called Jazz Fusion which completely changed my life and the bands from that genre that really helped define my taste. But the band that blew me away when I heard that first note from them was Return To Forever. They are my favourite band of all time. I have only allowed myself to have one favourite RTF album, I could have easily just filled it up with all of their albums. The Romantic Warrior is my all time favourite album & if I could only have one album on a desert island it would be that one. I took a good long think about this question & I love the whole discography. I like the first couple Latin albums with Flora Purim. I adore the rawness & the variety of the early heavy Fusion albums. Their last studio album Musicmagic not so much but the live albums that they recorded just before they disbanded in 1978 are great. I also really like the Bill Connors era with RTF in 1973, I adore all the albums with Al Di Meola. Where Have I Known You Before is fantastic, No Mystery just a little bit lower in my ranking but side two of that album is beautiful. Of course Romantic Warrior is their masterpiece. Also all of their bootleg live recordings in 1976 are just amazing, I would have loved if they made an official live album during the Romantic Warrior tour, & even their reunion album Returns from 2008 is still really enjoyable. Overall when I looked at this entire catalog, not a very long one but with a lot of variety and live albums and recordings out there with all the jams and solos the musicians in the band created, I love the mellow music they do and the heavy music they do. I adore to death everything about it, I love Al’s phrasing & the dangerous nature of his shredding. Chick Corea is such an awesome composer and can really tell a story through a composition. Lenny White’s incredible monster drumming is so powerful, fiery & explosive, with Stanley being such a tight and direct bass player. Those two work really well as a rhythm section. I love Coreas Keyboard playing and like the whole fantasy/medieval world he makes with the tunes. Return To Forever never ceases to blow me away. The main reason I think they’re in here is because I have no problem with any of their albums and pretty much all of those records, I would listen to one on any given day and think yeah that’s got to be in my top list of favourite albums of all time.

Fanno proprio cagare...non li avevo mai ascoltati e non ho perso niente😁😁

GODS ON EARTH!

just one of the best ensembles ever to play together. Stunningly wonderful music. Been listening since I was a baby. This, mahavishnu, metheny, and other Fusion artists of the time were my intro to music and shaped my musical taste and started my deep appreciation for true virtuosos.

Of the many concerts I have seen over the past 5 decades, "Return to Forever" along with "John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra" were far and away the best two performances. Two bands with extraordinarily and otherworldly talented performers, and two exceptional mind-blowing drummers.

Too bad the Minimoog was misbehaving but Chick managed to get through.

wenh is in my neck of the woods! support public broadcasting

Concertone!!!

LENNY WHITE, IN THE MOVIE SqT.PEPPER'S LONELY❤CLUB BAND,TOWARDS THE END OF MOVIE IN THE CROWD , NICE MOVIE 1978.

I saw RTF in '76 or '77. Good reserved seats. I don't remember all that much about it, however, because we were quite stoned. Pity.

Unici ...,.....................❤❤❤❤

So glad I grew up listening to these guys in high school -- on a great local radio station and my LPs. Just drank coffee out of a Return to Forever mug (from the 2008 tour)

Amazing line up!!!

Setlist?

So So wonderful ,I surely remember seeing this live back in the day

the acustic song is beatifull and piece of art

I saw them at the Kennedy Center around that time. The energy in the air was palpable. If there's other lives, Chick, this one would be a hard act to follow!

Al is a very nice guy in my experience. :)

This is fckn good. Ty ty ty!❤❤❤

Per tutti i fan o dir si voglia il " popolo dei pooh " ho pubblicato il CONCERTO INTEGRALE DEL 27/07/2024 A CATTOLICA ( RN ).

a me fa riflettere come si senta, dalle voci, chiaramente un pubblico giovane. Ora i giovani dove sono? Sono passati da ascoltare qualità a immondizia dove viene sponsorizzata qualsiasi cosa tremenda

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

STANLEY CLARK ON THE Bass the whole band so great wowed
