[@escobedf]

that Japanese bass player is fire! 🔥

[@georgeerhard1949]

Tetsuo Sakurai. He was the bassist for the 80's funk/fusion band Casiopeia. Go ahead, fall down that rabbit hole, you'll be smiling the whole way.

[@geraldgeneroso1681]

Akira Onozuka really tearing it on this track. Such beautiful lines!

[@alegamba6535]

Siiii como dibuja !! Hermosas líneas 😊

[@ifgwelf]

Tetsuo Sakurai is disgustingly good in whatever group he's in. Superb note choice.

[@TheShredMasters]

NOW THIS IS MUSICAL MASTERY. EACH OF THESE GUY'S MIDDLE NAME SHALL BE FRIKKEN!!! IE, DENNIS FRIKKEN CHAMBERS.

[@mauricebazemore6180]

Mr Howe, always comes through. Shame he never received the spotlight that's due to him.

[@MrTarlecon]

He's not a kind of a clown or a hype-thing like modern pop-idols - that's why they really attract attention. Real masters are always in the shadow :))

[@YaoEspirito]

@@MrTarlecon Or, if you want to win on KZbin, post a bunch of videos with thumbnail photos of you mugging, with eyes wide-open and mouth gaping open, with the words "WTF?!!" and "Best of All Time!!" or "Insane!!!" or something in the picture.

[@MrTarlecon]

@@YaoEspirito absolutely. Now many publish their reaction to something. And just few produce this "something".

[@albertodesantis739]

I always tell my wife that if you don't see Guthrie Govan and Greg Howe in the same room, then it's the same guy.

[@peterthomas5922]

Hats off to Mr. Onozuka. Beautiful work. As good as Jan Hammer with McLaughlin, my highest praise. Love this stuff.

[@Blooomune]

Very underrated pianist. Seriously badass

[@johngibson7001]

First one must say to be fair...They all are very accomplished musicians!! But man what a beast on drum Dennis Chambers is. and Greg Howe goes far into the universe with his phenomenal chops!!

[@hsoh3215]

This is real fusion.

[@RobotChampionSC]

yep

[@yt-vj2lz]

yes!

[@SemerXet]

This is unreal fusion! For all time...

[@Miwof]

Yeah, Mahavishnu Orchestra 32 yrs. later, and much easier going ...

[@damiang8620]

Some of the best ever !❤

[@xDrWeilx]

Akira Onozuka on keyboards!!

[@marcusthomas5528]

Awesome

[@davidsoneagleclaw]

Producer : Greg do you play jazz or rock ? Greg Howe : Yes.

[@YaoEspirito]

Booooo.

[@dominiquerenault9407]

Greg Howe sait tout jouer...he plays rock, fusion, jazz, jazz rock...he is the king..

[@RippinSkullz]

When I first started listening to Greg Howe, It was almost too much for me. Fusion was hard to get used to because it just seemed so random and frustrating to try and understand. The more I listened to him, the more I understood and realized just how incredible Greg Howe is. This genre of music seriously is some of the hardest music to ever play.

[@richardk6659]

It's fast as hell, yet nuanced.

[@bmwrules1464]

@@richardk6659 Not to mention tight.

[@wyg2935]

@@bmwrules1464 i would happily sell my kidney to hire a drummer as tight and powerful as dennis chambers

[@andym28]

Now take 100 listens to Holdsworth

[@landajimmy]

Yes, rock with changes and odd tempos. Thats why people dont get it.

[@vincentizghra6144]

This is why I play music.

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

5:25 the keyboardist demonstrates his power of teleporting hands

[@buenobus]

Wow! That is one of the most insane demonstration of piano chops I have seen...

[@waynemiller6070]

10,000 hours for them...10 minutes for us! Thanks for sharing!

[@nicemutant]

They endured Hell to bring us Heaven... no complaints here!! ;)

[@dogbonetv4821]

holy shit. had this album for years, never knew this vid was here. every time i hear this song its so good it almost makes me cry.

[@SeanRosati]

Dogbone tv Right!!!

[@Nickg222]

i listened to this album when it came out i was 14, it def opens your mind to new improv style phrasing... pretty amazing. and also..Tetsuo & Akira!!! What!!!!?

[@uchinanchu]

Kudos to Tetsuo for bringing out the BEST in Greg and Dennis!! You won't be disappointed, and Tet's new album VITAL WORLD with the same crew is KILLA!! These guys are the dream crew!!!!

[@pietroquilichini]

Totally agree man 🎉

[@JiNehcmi]

Speechless. The pianist and bassist were so damn good. Greg needs no introduction, I grew up listening to him since 2009.

[@alexzinkevych3596]

Wow, the drummer is insane! Ten minutes of non-stop high tempo BPM like a freaking machine! From 7:00 my favorite part.

[@bro7269]

Alex Zinkevych total agree...after the 7 minute mark it's like completely different song. My favorite part of the studio album too.

[@yusdrum91]

@@bro7269 agree.. but the live version has more fire in my opinion.

[@poststructuralisthero9290]

@@yusdrum91 Yes, and on the studio version kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqW8qWOaasZqhpY Greg doesn't take a solo on that progression, which surprises me, because it might be the tastiest fusion progression+melody ever written. I hum it when I go to sleep, like a Beatles song.

[@SeanRosati]

The legendary Dennis Chambers.

[@davexxx5175]

This is Dennis Chambers! You can hear him also with John Scofield, Mark Stern...and also with Steely Dan (live)..probably the album that brought him to world attention was..Loud Jazz by John Scofield.

[@TheAndhros15]

I'm here back again... listening to this track till my ears bleed

[@Draxtor]

I might be killed for this but I prefer Greg Howe to Jeff Beck and John McLaughlin ......

[@CJ-nm8sw]

That's not crazy at all!

[@AntonioLarant]

Agree

[@JL-dz8sj]

I second the motion

[@Draxtor]

at 1:40 a very Zappaesque feedback OMG awesome!

[@moneybot646]

I regrettably agree but I still love McLaughlin music but Howes playing is technically superior

[@thorndog100]

This whole album is such a masterpiece. I heard they didn't all get on whilst recording the album.. Blimey, if that's them arguing and in a bad mood, can you imagine what it would have like if they all got on swimmingly. Amazing. I love the bassline on the album nearer the end. Gives me chills everytime.. Peace

[@carlfrederick7780]

greg would be kind of hard to deal with I guess. and the album didn't turn out anywhere near this live performance

[@LordHiggumBottom]

It doesn't get better than this! Greg's solo is sublime 😄

[@TheAndhros15]

fuck it's been at least 6 years i've been listening to this and i can't get enough of this track

[@RobotChampionSC]

lmao...no doubt

[@wyg2935]

TheAndhros15 me too man, I've been listening to this for the past 9 years. howe is a legend!

[@kp8hv6wz2t]

I'm listening it now in 2019. It's still addictive :)

[@Mnoiraud]

I came for Greg Howe, but each musician here is genius

[@kaushikb6028]

One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@srvgravesdime]

Wow. This is still amazing to me after like 5 years of listening to it. I always thought that Greg was just amazing here, but after many listens, I think that the keys player really gives him a run for his money here!

[@alexandereleniak657]

This never gets old

[@lodew]

Onozuka (keyboards) is such a beast. 50k views are mine lol

[@SUPRAN420]

This lineup is incredible, and they really did an amazing job with it

[@peterthomas5922]

Super tight, nice arrangement. Beautiful.

[@patrickpowers3850]

Last night saw Tetsuo Sakurai (bass), Yuya Komoguchi (gt) & Senri Kawaguchi (dr) play some Gentle Hearts tunes. Gave 'em a run for the money.

[@davexxx5175]

Greg Howe and Dennis Chambers!?!...Wow! In any case...all amazing musicians!

[@Cemcet7]

Its been 8 years. My heart is still trembling when I listen this. Thank you for this thank you for all your works! My fav fav favourite song Wish I could watch this live in Turkey

[@gregdemeterband]

The Absolute King of Guitar, Period...Fusion, Jazz Rock, Fusion...King of technique, Tones and he even looks Like Michael Jackson, Ha! King of Pop! My All time Favorite...Hands down...No One comes, close, except Guthrie Govan and Guthrie is one of, if not, the best out there! Hat's Off!

[@overcrowEdits]

Skillwise they are both on the top and none of them is worse than the other. Just a bit different styles. But do not forget to include Mr. Alex Hutchings. He is amomg wizards as well 😄

[@sheerasmith]

absolutely brilliant !

[@xaviergostanian6398]

Brillant de folie !!!

Best formation, Greg Howe at his best shape with his best guitar.

[@metalfingerz4203]

[@rabbitohsrule121]

Ya know Greg and Guthrie would play great together, both amazing talents, Greg hot rock, Guthrie Country. But I'd have to say I love Greg's playing always have.

[@pallolollo]

Akira-san has that seat-bounce down! Greg's amazing as always, really enjoyed their "duel" :)

[@gallolibre3815]

I have this album years ago and man this cat is so melodic. Fusion is all I know, because it never gets boring

[@OZRIC1985]

A group of master musicians! I love the Extraction album so much that I couldn't get enough of listening to it every day for a loooong time after it first was released. I still like to listen to the album from time to time. Unbelievable compositions that definitely give me eargasms! :-D

All 4 of these guys are master musicians in my opinion.

[@PoppaRellReal]

the is great pocket and soloing at it's best for a group of musicians. Everyone nails there part.They are together when they should be and when they go on there own....each musicians shuts it down. Great performance.

[@tastebudchunk]

Dennis Chambers just blows my mind with the opening....

[@sanpogiri777]

I used to hate Fusion, but I like it now (age I think) and Greg is an exceptional exponent of this art!

[@roland232]

Very Tight !! These guys belong together, too bad they are not a group!

[@TheAndhros15]

Dominant conduction by Mr. Howe... 4 prodigies...

[@zacalves]

that so cool to be able to see that now. a couple years ago i used to listen to that a lot. it's great to hear such tasty and creative playing along with those beautiful melodies
