Didn't notice until today So I looked for a recording similar to the performance in -Stockholm 1972( or sometime beween genesis and forever) This was similar program, But unforgetable were the long brilliant accoustic parts that each musician performed - longer than on this performance) So we all go to forever.

You're right. The album is a cosmic masterpiece. It goes in crazy directions, exploring the unknown, but it somehow never loses the listener. Each song, each melody, and every solo tells a story. The compositions were truly great. I am of the opinion that this lineup of RTF were the tightest band of all time. The four of them were so in sync with each other, it's almost like they were one person playing all the instruments, but at the same time each of them brings such a unique identity to the music.

I love the anticipation in his solos and his playing. "Wolfbane" is another selection I love by Lenny White during his post RTF recordings.

Most underrated group of all decades, at Chick Corea's direction. Do yourself a favor and give this masterpiece a listen to. They never seemed to be commercially oriented toward massive FM-airplay, yet all have had successful individual careers following its latter 70's days. This is what Jazz Rock Fusion is essentially all about.

Special time.. special musicians... music had a different sense of spirit and adventure in those days. Some of it worked and some of it didn't. But, and maybe I'm biased cuz I came of age musically at that time, there was a different kind of honesty searching for new sounds and approaches that were relevant. Cats still seemed to want to play for beauty and craft and uplift, not just for money. Maybe I'm being romantic but... "Romantic Warrior," in that live rendition, is a jazz/musical classic. Its just as relevant as Miles' "So What," or many of the other straight ahead jazz classics that are considered canon for today.

How true. This stuff, the best of prog rock, all that and more was GENUINE, and in search of aural EXPERIENCE. Today..I dunno where to look for this kind of stuff..

Saw this band in 1975, 1976, and 2008. Stunning every time. Met Stanley Clarke after the last show. We were marveling that we were both much younger back in 1975.

I was the chief music critic at my college paper at University of Vermont. The band did a small press conference which I covered. My best friend was visiting from NJ and was tripping. Yup, it was '76. He asked Stanley if the pre-show KFC fried chicken meal was to lube up his fingers for his bass playing later....

After all these years Chick and the Company are still great. Back in the early 70s this music had such a influence on my guitar and keyboard/synth playing and still does. It was a great time for innovation and fusion.
