Chick Corea Elektric Band - Light Years (1987)

[@teemukekkonenmusic]

This band! It sounds corny if you listen to it with the wrong mindset. When I was a teenager discovering chick and the electric band was a huge thing for me, feels so nostalgic listening them now.

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

I've only been listening to Chick for maybe 3-4 years now, but his music sounds nostalgic to me, I hear his influences in so much of the music I listened to as a kid, i.e., 90s video game music.

[@marcdertrainer6107]

Yeah... I really feel nostalgic listening Light Years. It makes me go back to my teen years and my first gigs as a bass player. I still have that old black T-shirt with the multi colored logo of this incredible band. Thanks for sharing!

[@M3TaGh0sStT]

Exactly. I’m lucky to have a few friends who also listen to this but most would call it corny immediately.

Rest in peace grand master Chick Corea.

[@willardtk]

whenever my girlfriend wants me to drive, I always insist on listening to Light Years. she never asks me to drive anymore and I owe it all to this band. 10/10 would recommend

[@Savignylol]

Haha lmao! I imagine you living in an alternate version of Miami where the year is 1987, and you drive a DeLorean DMC-12.

[@tonyflorez703]

You need a new girlfriend

[@shawnbruce6934]

LOL.

[@rolandbates7425]

This is easily the very funniest comment I have ever seen on KZbin.

[@qonos68]

🤣

[@edwinrr546]

R.I.P Chick Corea 🖤🥺

[@carlreynolds6047]

What the wild blazes is weckl doing on that instrument!!! Very cool Never imagined to see him on anything like that wild

[@justvinyl7538]

John Pattituci doing what he does best! Epic bass groove!

[@camelius]

I love this band! They got me introduced to Jazz/Fusion when I was only listening to Metal.

[@kz1000ps]

So that thing Weckl is playing is a Dynacord Rhythm Stick from 1986. Apparently it's a MIDI controller, and he's using it to trigger the stock sounds from a Yamaha RX5 probably hiding somewhere on stage. So strange and fascinating.

[@jviied335]

Thank you!!! Your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

[@salviadivinorum1762]

maybe @LOFTmusic can add some of this info to the description

[@sandoraym8021]

Muchísimas gracias por la información 👍🏼😁 ese instrumento no se ve en estos dias

[@ericgisclon8122]

I m guitarist but John Patitucci (the bassist) is a killer!!

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Hey, we learn from all our brothers and sisters.

[@bfr74vz80]

Eric Marienthal is the man!

[@shareebrown727]

R.I.P & LOVE Chick. You were an Angel.

[@delchino6597]

You will never be forgotten Maestro Chick Corea! Your music has always been a big part of my childhood and my Music! Your legacy and your music will forever live on!

[@calebproductions5970]

This is the best fusion band I've heard.

[@slowneutron6163]

Every day I wake up I thank the good green earth that I get to listen to these cats. I can comprehend quantum physics to a further extent than I can comprehend the amount of talent concentrated on this stage. The ORIGINAL 'Unreal Engine'.

[@M3TaGh0sStT]

One of my fav jazz lineups ever. Might be my fav fusion lineup bar none.

[@jamesduckery]

UNK stay burning on dat sax! #LongLiveChickCorea

[@Jacquityus]

Been listening to jazz since I was kid and was familiar with Chick Corea, however it wasn’t until I walked pass the dorm TV room Chick and his band was playing this hitter! It caught my attention and forever put him on my radar!! Went out that Christmas and bought this album which by the way is 🔥🔥 Thank you Chick for your musical contribution to jazz! RIP sir🎹

[@robertomartinez6520]

Música inmortal y virtuosos ejecutándola !!!!!!!!!

[@cdiaz55]

Saw the Eletrik tour at North Idaho college, such a great show!

[@griiseknoen]

Frank's guitar is loud as fxxk in the mix, even when he's playing rhythm. And I have NO PROBLEM with it whatsoever. 😁

[@solarwind1985]

Frank with them steps, live that funk housing! Master musicians.

[@joseinfante2599]

I SAW CHIC MANY TIMES IN CATALINA BAR&GRILLED I JUST TO WORKED THERE AMAZING TIMES CHIC FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE ESTO SI ES MUSICA.

[@darkoanton5]

These men are locked in. Simply amazing.

[@darwinmartin8129]

Thank God for the late Chick Corea and this awesome band…this band introduced a whole new generation to the music of Corea and jazz…for my generation, this is the touchstone.

[@randallpenarandamora4721]

Cuando escuché este tema por primera vez, solía ponerlo hasta 15 veces al día, de eso hace ya mucho tiempo

[@atrapaalmas3950]

Yo igual

[@jaime691005]

Me too!!!

[@sebashtiannumberone5431]

No para tanto, pero 4 o 5 , y a todo trapo. El saxo te vuela la capocha

[@joseantoniogutierrez2897]

[@HedgeFundOfOne]

My fav from this album and one of my favs from the Elektric era. They just had such fun playing this one.

[@matheusmariz1589]

Gambale is a genius, the way his guitar sounds is amazing, so cool

[@medardoarce9361]

Man this is the perfect band of all time!

[@TunaLoopBackingTracks]

RIP Chick!! This is so powerful music!

[@ShakenStirred]

This is without doubt the greatest band ever!

[@josephadeniji3943]

Rest in peace, Chick Corea. Never knew this band has been on for this long.

[@samirpetrocelli6583]

Are we going to ignore that Weckl plays a MIDI drum guitar..?

[@prezlarryrogers494]

Lol he's thumping it 🤣

[@DJAlexmusic03]

Esta misma banda los vi en Monterrey Mexico, estuvieron a principios de los 90s, al igual que la acustic band

[@robertomartinez6520]

Que suerte , gracias !!!!!!!

[@sebastianelias8471]

Sólo ésto me faltaba!!! Es impresionante!!!

[@tacticaljackson]

Jerry Seinfeld killing it on the drumitar.

[@MZRN1661]

Normcore fusion

[@timeto_rise]

Thats a drum?

[@joelRmontfort]

Wtf is that thing even doing?

[@Wizardofgosz]

What instrument is that? So Futureman wasn't the first?

[@amcrae35]

I think that’s Dave Weckl. One of the best drummers on the world.

[@sebashtiannumberone5431]

5 monsters !! pure beauty

[@carlreynolds1111]

That could’ve been their name or title of one of their cds

[@gaelsebastiani2198]

What a show! Dave Weckl on bass!!! :D

[@calvin1649]

Twas an interesting use of a midi device.

[@RandyDrayton]

That was the drums, not bass. Notice no fretboard and just a small set of buttons. Sound samples are assigned to each button. Literally everybody is sleeping on that genius here loll

[@nathanwalters2856]

And Patitucci on drums

[@FranciscoSarmiento]

Patitucci con bajo de 4 cuerdas esta OVER POWER

[@137loller]

RIP Chick and thank you.

[@meekoloco]

Chick to Eric @3:43 - “Since you decided to wear your PJs tonite, I’m gonna go ahead and dock your pay the rest of tour, alright?”, Eric replies, “Okay, but will you still match my 401K?”

[@whoohaaXL]

Watch the chick Corea shreds video. John looks like he's wearing hospital scrubs 😆

[@silversurfer647]

If that band got back together in remembrance of Chick, Jeff Lorber, should fill in. And the rest of the band wouldn't miss a beat. All in the name of Chick.

[@grooveclinic]

[@77Fortran]

3:22 Frank Gambale begins rhythmically clapping with a wry smile on his face. After a couple of seconds the saxophonist joins in.

[@sylvestercrowley8909]

🤣🤣

[@anta40]

What was the instrument Dave play around 0:38 - 1:00 ?

[@Kreln1221]

*The left and right speaker channels are reversed... Frank's guitar is coming out of the left speaker..., and Eric's sax is coming out of the right speaker... It's frustrating when watching while listening...*

[@calptslash1573]

Ese fue bajista de Toto? Y el guitarrista se parece a Frank Gambale

Scott Henderson my friend That’s the man...

[@poundaloudsound3447]

Henderson? Thats Frank Gambale

[@myoig8957]

pound aloudsound I’m saying Henderson fits perfect with Electric Band. For me a way better than F Gambale . I know the one on this video is F Gambale. Yeah

[@aryws7900]

Is he Dave Weckl ?

[@rumblepac6823]

Yep! With a Dynacord Rythm Stick in the beggining.
