Doff : Oregon Live

[@Dionysosable]

OREGON is one of the greatest bands of all time !! And Have lasted 41 Years !! Amazing with this kind of music lasting so long !! This band is so unique , 4 great musicians , Ralph The Genious Composer and Guitar / Piano Player , Paul The Greatest Oboist in Jazz , Glen The Original power Voice of the Bass , And the great Talented Drummer Mark Walker , who fits Oregon the best of all their Great Percusiionist in my opinion. LONG LIVE OREGON , and may they continue always and Forever !!

Towner and guys are such personalities that you forget about your own identity before they ever play anything at all. After their perfornance you simply go away little bit above the pavement. Exquisite.

Excellent. Four Masters at work.( with all due gratitude to the late Colin Walcott and Trilok Gurtu) After over thirty years of seeing them(Towner,Moore,McCandless) perform and meeting them, I believe with Mark Walker they have gotten better. Always Excellent and still my favourite band and really good people. Hartley C.

Dear Oregon: Love you, but really! As a young musician you are a big inspiration, for you emotive music, pureness, innovation, legacy and the less important of those caracteristics, technic(important anyways). How can four genius get together on the right time, right place, and open to make the right music? That's magic... That's gold. Your music have no time, no nationality, no age. Is open for all... An honest and deep thank you! for all you've done to music, souls and spirits! Love from Chile from a 22 year old musician. Have a nice day!!!

The first released album of this band (1972) had a symbolic title: "Music of Another Present Era". And that was the truth... Great BAND, great MUSIC.

[@docnelson2008]

I have followed this band since the beginning so it's great to hear them still playing with great musicality and enthusiasm. Mark Walker was an inspired choice to join the band although I thought Trilok Gurtu also fitted in well. A great upload-thank you.

[@andyokus5735]

Wow what a great tune to dance to. I'll post it again; the best concert I ever saw was Oregon in Atlanta. The people all so good looking and we'll dressed just the elite. The vibe the spirit it really was a blessed evening!

[@huzone600]

I have to agree that Mark Walker is great for the group. He is awesome. Each percussionist brought their own genius to the group. I am partial to the sitar and tablas but its all good music and Mark definately makes those traps sing!

[@dimitriskaraganis]

what a band !! ,,and Mc Candless on tenor ...wow..what a player !!

[@eloyhbermudez]

[@BobMukhopadhyay]

[@MP3tilaco]

[@BlackMax58]

[@tomrott5333]

Rewelacja Panie Konopka !!! Revelation in the most pure ways...

[@austrianfunkhunter]

I've just returned from their concert here in Vienna. Amazing experience! I'm convinced now. Have to buy all their albums. Btw.: Thx for sharing!

Fenomenal son humanos¿..cada vez que la escucho me levanta la poca vida que tengo, gracias joan catalunya lliure 💕💕💕

[@JorgeAlbertoMussuto]

Que bonito se se oye este gran grupo de jazz fuzzion:)

[@timjmoran]

right.. you usually think of him as a double -reed or Soprano sax player. I think Oregon comes pretty darn close to rockin' out here. I also hear a little bit of Pat Metheny in this tune. And how about Mark Walker! WOW.. is he great in this or what? I used to see him playing around in clubs in Chicago 20 years ago- and he was excellent even then. So wonderful to see he has landed such a sweet gig- he deserves it.Terrific Solo. Amazing independence between his feet & hands.

[@maidoodesu]

very nice !...

[@rustwrangler5506]

timeless

[@alefranov]

que maestros!!

[@johnmartyntribute]

Nice Stuff!

[@Troubleshooter125]

WOOF! That COOKED!

[@davidschwartzguitar]

It's a Frame Works guitar. Wolfgang Muthspiel is a fan of using them as well. Frame Works guitars have a MIDI pickup in them, which Towner uses to trigger his synthesizers.

[@peterthomas464]

Looks very much like the Soloette Roscoe Wright designed built back in the 1980's and which Yamaha copied and then dared him to sue them for stealing his concept. They have way better lawyers and laughed at him. He stopped making them and makes amazing electrics now.

[@uneedtherapy42]

this band epitomizes "edgy" yet accessible to me... man I love this stuff

[@paxwallacejazz]

post trane Mccandless ! and geez that drummer

[@josue.guevara]

So strange to see Paul McCandless on the tenor. Yet he's like a fish on the water with any woodwind instrument he plays.

[@catodiko]

me too! amazing isn'it

[@rembeadgc]

Mark Walker! What!

[@VassilisArt]

Great ! Ha.. Mc Candless looks somehow like Franz Beckenbauer

[@johnbeam6000]

Nice guitar

[@Frederer59]

Certinly a nod to James Taylor in there too.

[@wonder6789]

Can anyone give any info on this guitar? Thanks

[@mwdrums]

That's the Frame Guitar, with a Roland guitar synth pedal.

[@icaredamnit]

@tulrob Wish I could answer you but that is one odd axe. Somebody seriously went outside the box on that one - flipped the neck around. Must be harder to tune, maybe.

[@tulrob]

Does anybody know what that semi headless guitar is that Towner is playing??

[@DejanTesic]

This: FRAME Works Guitars (Germany)

[@LawrencedeMartin]

Sounds like they are trying to be Weather Report. Oregon spun off Paul Winter Consort and Weather Report spun off the Miles Davis band about the same time. I loved both bands for being equal partnerships with AWESOME stand-up bass players as well as first rate composers. Even Zawinul preferred the Miraslav Vitous version, Glenn Moore and Ralph Towner are still great players - but they sound too much like Pat Metheny because of the amps. Not that Pat Metheny is bad music, but sheesh, been done. Mark Walker has serious chops, but not the trailblazing artistry of Colin Walcott or Trilok Gurtu. Go listen to their solo albums.
