Before Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Carter Beauford...there was Billy Cobham. A powerful drummer with ambidextrous ability who could groove the pants of any audience. I saw Billy many times over the years and met him a couple times after drum clinics...a sweetheart of a man.

The chorus grows - Billy takes the prize here, hands down. Incredible drumming throughout (eg @ 3:25). Style without comparison. He owned this performance and both Al and Chic acknowledge it, from their reaction. Fantastic drummer - they just don't make them like this any more - and what music will they practice to in years to come.... I wonder. Close of an era. Many thanks for sharing.

Seeing this again I'm reminded that Al Di Meola played this "jazz" type of model of electric guitar only around this time of his career (early nineties) but I honestly think it sounds better to the solid-body electric guitar "in his hands" in that, if in his early days the "rock-lead" sound he used made sense for the type of music he was doing then, his style of writing music since the nineties is such that on electric I'd imagine his playing would sound better on this type of model guitar rather than the models he now uses

My pregnant wife was at the gig with me, and our daughter was born in August, healthy and happy. So the first live music she will have heard was Billy's music. My * year old son couldn't be with us unfortunately that night but he loves Billy's music too and it's a great thing that his music will live on through my kids'generation. He has recently taken up drumming and I've told him to aim for the stars and emulate the greats, people like Billy Cobham.

kind of a unique performance this. a 1990 encore, I think, but none of the trio played in the same band at the festival, I think. anyway, like Al's tone here; Corea has rhythm of course; and Billy plays enough to cover both the bass and drums...lol. Saw Billy play once in a Dublin pub; Corea once with Burton in London; and Al once in London and once in Cork. Nice to see them having a bash at being an impromptu trio, albeit with the inevitable choice of encore number, for Chick, without the audience sing-a-long this time. Cobham did an album inspired by his Panamian roots once; I have it somewhere; but never think of listening to it...hmm
