Credits: Dave Weckl - drums and bandleader Jay Oliver - keyboards Buzz Feiten - guitar Brandon Fields - sax Tom Kennedy - bass

[@karl-heinzpeters7283]

Thanks. Jay Oliver, my favorite.

[@BillBrolse]

The undisputed champion of dynamics and finesse.

[@JohnWilmerding]

Jesus ... this band was totally about finesse and elegance! See Buzz Feiten's WikiPedia pages, one for his career, and one for his discography.

[@bRadicalmagic1]

Buddy Rich? Yes, I TOTALLY AGREE ! ! !

[@borgullet3376]

Frank you called it, The King of Finesse... Nothin but Net.... Everytime The Man Plays.

[@albertofontana3480]

HELL YES BRO!!!

[@alexemhardt3762]

Totally agree

[@ECo-ECo-ECo]

This is the MOTHER of all fusion jazz!!

[@malekkushimuzik3580]

This mix is still strong in 2024!!!

[@musicalchairs777]

Watching guys like Weckl always makes me want to play.

[@hudsbass]

Wow! Such an amazing drum mixing.

[@getlikeus1247]

His drum mix sounds amazing!!!

[@astmichael2995]

I was there - front row - spoke with the guys mid and after show. Buzz was incredibly genuine, generous, warm and welcoming like I was an old friend. This was the most enjoyable show I'd ever been to - and this video only ever reaffirms the grateful 2 days I had the immense pleasure to witness incredible greatness. It's still beyond me how good someone can be on an instrument - never a flaw - never a mistake - just absolute perfection... How is that possible?

[@scottpitner4298]

Dave is my favorite. Seen him play some and it was amazing. His dynamics and skill make it look like he invented the instrument. ✌️

[@nomoreblitz]

He even sounds musical when he drops a stick! (See 1:03:23)

[@attommas]

The first song that they are playing is called,"The Zone" from the "Rhythm of the Soul" CD.The musicians are: Dave on Drums,Tom Kennedy on bass,Jay Oliver on keyboards,Brandon Fields on tenor and soprano sax and Buzz Feiten on guitar.

[@candrabalimirage]

Thanks for your info bro 👍👍

[@JRock1900]

Jay Oliver is a killer player!!! Keep it up Jay!!!

[@enricolongo242]

Best jazz rock band on Earth

[@calderadelescocia7325]

Jay Oliver...my absolute hero of all times....

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

There's a reason he's on every single Weckl album....

[@karl-heinzpeters7283]

full ack.

[@BassMecca312]

My favorite edition of the Dave Weckl Band. Jay Oliver really can play his &%$ off and Buzz Feiten just added something really special to the unit.

[@sbconsult]

This was without a doubt one of Dave's best groups ever. The addition of guitarist Buzz Feiten really added to the overall groove and fullness of sound! If you don't have the album "Rhythm Of The Soul" which featured this core grab it!

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

A great album, but "Synergy" is even better, IMO.

[@brookelyn7714]

I agree. I bought it as soon as it dropped in '98. Great jams!

[@EdsonSilva-rx5tf]

@@brookelyn7714 really

[@JohnWilmerding]

Their crowning achievement was 'Synergy', both the album and its 7th track of the same name. When I give the gift of music, this is most often the CD I choose. I run the Buzz Feiten Fan Club group on Facebook, and this fusion masterpiece anchors the great guitarist in his technical prime!

[@MigitAs]

Everyone always talks about Buzz on here, but Neil Larsen is what brought me to this channel lol.

[@emanuelantunes2789]

That stick recovery @1:03:21 was incredible :O

[@dardolanda]

Access Denied 1:24:25 Thank you Dave !!

[@jpolls233]

Buzz Feiten is actually on the Olivia Newton John "Physical Tour DVD from 1982 that I have. The other guitar player is Michael Landau! If you listen, you hear some very good playing! Great concert!!!!

[@acershund1]

Wowow! Incredible musicians=- All of them- it just does not get any better

[@itsfabiolaureano]

Twenty years ago, and listen and listening again...The best days of Dave's dynamics...Awewsome...Here From Brazil never stop listen...

[@peterpeters542]

many thanks for downloading this awesome stuff!!!

[@johnhunterdrummer249]

I used to play in a jazz/fusion band, and we did covers of Mud Sauce and 101 Shuffle. They were such great improv tunes and a lot of fun to play.

[@zildjianpearl23]

I just realized that I was attending M.I. during this time and saw this concert. I also had the pleasure of having a picture taken with Dave Weckl. One of my Idols growing up.

[@alkibalboa8769]

This is outrageous. Been listening to Buzzy since the Peaceful World and Isle Of Real Rascals albums.

[@DimitriPerret]

Awesome!! Thanks for the video :-)

[@LipnitskyOrchestra]

Thanks a lot! These guys know their craft!

[@cleiton168]

Dave é o melhor do mundo! Nunca vi um batera tão completo!

[@antoniosoares2903]

Eu já vi ao vivo no Coliseu no Porto com Chick. Não há igual

[@aliasalias4182]

Vinnie Colaiuta !!!

[@SchizophrenicReality]

Wow this is so damn funky !!! Love the guitar work !!!

[@gajierajie]

Such finesse in playing! Dave rocks

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

Insane performance. Incredible. All the musicians are virtuosos. Weckl’s playing is smoother than a baby’s bottom covered in talc powder.

[@schareco]

Best drummer of all time. I’ve never seen a bassist like this as well.

[@FlavioArk]

Wow, Amazing! Tks for the video.

[@lignano79]

The best dave weckl solo that I have seen far now and very nice overall performance

[@Oostersa]

Im 25 and just started getting into fusion. That solo by Buzz in Song for Claire is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard, hands down. Wow! He just goes exactly where you want him to go. Not a bad note in that solo.

[@NorthFloridaPhotoAndVideo]

Wow - what a great, great * 100 video!! The version of 'Someone's Watching' (located in the 30 - 40 minute range) is nothing short of amazing!!

[@aka474731]

I really like that group I wish they'd still be out there

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

What a line up.. This is my backing track song that I use to work out the funk. Love this BAND.

[@coreybondurant]

Love the DWB! Amazing - saw them live in '98 in Portland. Great players. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@miles-178]

wooooooooooooooow .... the best years of dave weckl band greatest upload !!!!!! thank you sir for that

[@DimitriPerret]

+miles 178 Same for me, my favorite periode! He was zildjian... I'm still not used to see him playing on sabian!!

[@markkilmer8606]

+Dimitri P He was playing sabians in this vid what do you mean?

[@DimitriPerret]

+Mark Kilmer yes! I'm still used to see him playing Zildjian... :-)

[@miles-178]

+Mark Kilmer he switched into sabians after 2000, after finishing his recording of Transition CD (still playing zildjs on that record) ... this is from 1998 = rhythm of the soul era so stil Zilds)

[@DimitriPerret]

+miles 178 That's what I wanted to say :-) I know he plays sabian but as I grew up seeing him playing zildjian and now he plays sabian, I don't know a lot top players switching brands.

[@dagostinoification]

Superbe concert ! Merci !

[@JRock1900]

I like Weckl gigs from the 90s. Better than the current ones

[@nytokyandriambololoniaina1296]

Thank you Mr Dave

[@blackstaticband]

I love listening to talented drummers

[@danyrattini2234]

The most terrifying drum solo I’ve ever heard , Dave weckl is off the charts , he’s illegal. Not from this world . Thank ya David for existing. GOAT by miles .

[@yeclauhe]

Wauu...amazing,para mi Weckl sigue siendo uno de los bateristas mas completos de la historia...excelente interprete,educador,compositor,productor...commpletisimo.

[@orfeo7772]

This is one of the best shows given by master Weckl and this amzing and gifted musicians, I watch it over and over again from time to time just to remember how incredible this music and band was. Dave should call them over and make a final last piece.

[@JoEsp]

Yeah! My favorite iteration of Dave Weckl band - w/ buzz!

[@bigstef2010]

Dave was already a genious back then. Even improving today (if it was possible...) with refinements. Real master

[@bencausey]

Wore that album OUT! Love it.

[@muhammadrizkyrizky4223]

thank you weckl

[@heliomarcoelhodasilva.4123]

What a wonderful, amazing band.

[@eriksortvik]

Loving this

[@masterescolademusica7842]

AMAZING, AWESOME, WONDERFUL!

[@joaodimas4178]

28-08-1998 it was a friday not a thursday :) Joking :P Great upload! Great concert with awesome musicians!

[@HXC060592]

Nobodies cymbals and drums sound as good as Dave's, absolutely genius playing.

[@aka474731]

That sax and keyboard duo at 58:30 is legendary. Pure understanding and collaboration

[@fernandocaballerohn]

Even Dave Weckl voice is awesome.

[@mjm5081]

There's so much going on and yet there's still space in the music!

[@Mr1drumlover]

Saw this amazing version of the DWB in Nashville 's Gibson Cafe back in the day... One of the best live fusion performances I ever saw... They killed, knocked the roof of the motha'!

[@mansarta]

Great job...

[@Docol-xj6pm]

Sobre natural esse solo! D guitarra coisa mais linda! Me faz viajar

[@felixrousseau2801]

Incredible. Classic Weckl. WOW.

[@slmemoric9740]

Prelijepo nice srdačan pozdrav

[@HaunterButIhadNameGagWtf]

Dat music is great!

[@mhndev]

As many people already said, and considering of course that all are top level musicians, I really love how Buzz contributes with his performance on here. Such a talented as underrated guitarist.

[@josephbarron9230]

BAD-ASS ... Buzz Feiten, one of the greatest guitarist of all time. Hands DOWN !!!!!!.

[@Skelletor87]

Wow Some More Good Weckl, Big Surprise! Thanks!

[@Skelletor87]

And 8 People Need To Be Shot

[@jeffthomas5769]

Love it!

[@MrThomas1958]

great stuff

[@FedericoMaragoni]

HE IS THE LEGEND

[@MainardiPaolo]

The master of the universe!

[@Funnybear465]

Guitar tone is magnificent

[@joshuajuaire8757]

So much power from Dave

[@FrankPCarpi]

Tom Kennedy is just as good with his bass guitar as Dave is on drums. This is pure dynamics and skill on display here. That last number was explosive and awe inspirational. If I could do that then I would have all of the skills and talents to perform for anyone! And those drums sound incredible. He pulled out everything he had in that performance.

[@dieguitoargalpha]

Jay is a genius!

[@karl-heinzpeters7283]

GREAT! The 90 : all time best of fusion!

[@bigstef2010]

real master, even back then at this young age....

[@robertbelanger6733]

Love it🤘🏻🥁🎸🎹🎸🎷

[@studioforplay7058]

Dave weckl band`s best formation ever!!

[@reassert]

1:22:32 RLLRRLLR RLLRRLLR Thank you, Mr. Weckl!!

[@billymakesmusic]

Would you be so kind as to give me some detail behind the RLLRRLLR RLLRRLLR sticking? I see it perhaps as an 8 or 16 note pattern and interested to know how it might be used and how it is most effective? Thank you for the insight.

[@seelanne]

Risenson Inthesky its a simple „inward double stroke“, which simply means, it begins with a single note. It can be played in any time with every time (8th, 16th, triplets and so on)

[@isaacleedrums]

wwwwoooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! WHAT A LICK!

[@isaacleedrums]

wwwwoooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! WHAT A LICK!

[@wesworach7441]

Tom Kennedy on Bass ? ... Genius indeed !!!

[@micheleminerva8464]

Dave il solito bravo batterista ma una ottima esecuzione del tastierista poi tutti bravi precisi ma soprattutto dei bravi professionisti complimenti.

[@marcelloscurria6550]

sono certo che sia il migliore per qualsiasi band. Dave suona per dieci.

[@zvensabri2533]

Dave my favorite

[@AleOliveira-lb3ps]

The best gig, the best band

[@fruitbowl32]

Mud Sauce is one of my favourites, it's so groovy!

[@bigstef2010]

AWESOME

[@MrBassab]

Now this is the fusion I like! I don't like that weird stuff where they just play random notes, it's noise, this is music!

[@ArthlecMann]

I' m in P100!! I was there part of the crowd..

[@ratamacueseven]

Brilliant then, Brilliant now !!!!!!!!

[@damianrodriguez5981]

Me encantaaaaaaa....!!!.El mejor batero se jazz lejos,y para fucionar el mejor.Me gusta como se adapta a las armonias y melodias.Muy sutil para tocar..!

[@midivanilli3847]

¿batero?

[@moisesvilela]

Época de ouro. muito bom.

[@jacquesprevert1902]

bloody hell.....Dave came from mars.....

[@rqneo5361]

The funny thing about these top level drummers is they're only there because they worked for it when you're as technically skilled as weckl or gadd or buddy rich you can play whatever you want and it will be considered amazing, feel is definitely a more difficult thing for a drummer to grasp but I believe anyone can develop it if they play for long enough

[@thomaslejon]

Someone watching and song for Claire are in my top 3 of weckl's song .

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

+Thomas Duchein Such beautiful compositions!

[@saintpaul-yn9ho]

Drum solo incredible

[@marcelloscurria6550]

Acoltiamola tutta, la musica. Signori e Signore mr. Weckl.

[@dominiqueg6859]

T o my mind the best band he ever had !!!! On his name as a leader

[@lockdownmytownbykevinjohns6224]

Insanely GREAT........Better.........and BETTER.......with Each passing year.
