[@axs203]

Legend!

[@mrmusic248]

djcoolcliff: He brought the funk !! RIP.

[@TheWaveFiles]

My respects to this fantastic musician. Playing riffs from him every week to remember myself what rhythm guitar is all about.

[@singmysong4444]

RIP WaWa Watson.... the central "Groove" in so many great songs... !!!

[@djcoolcliff]

Joseph Miller yes sir my uncle was the man!!!!! He played on a lot of records and they young folks sample him like crazy!!!

[@eduf2000]

Herbie hancock’s face during his solo….. that’s what being “in the zone” looks like. A thing of beauty really

[@musterionsurly]

Darryl Jones and the Whole Damn Band :) Herbie's piano solo was cathartic for everyone. Wah Wah Watson always completely involved.

[@georgemoore2444]

Everyone is overlooking the elephant in the room- Bill Evan's saxophone is Breathtaking- truly 5 star performance.

[@billneath3273]

Bill Evans is top drawer, played with Miles Davis band when Miles made a come back after quite a long lay off.

[@earlsimpson3393]

My sentiments exactly 👍

[@MThomas001]

Wow. That was very cool. They stomped down on the pocket and Herbie took us on a ride. Wow. Incredible. Thanks for putting this up

[@colins7771]

never has there been a deeper pocket>?

[@tgirard123]

This groove is SOOO hard to mimick live. I took a little solice in knowing that even Herbies band had a tough go with it live. It is truly one of the greatest examples of 70s Jazz funk.

[@johnunderwood3132]

This has to be one of my favorite tracks! The whole album is fucking awesome.

[@Cvarier-channel]

Bill Evans is such an awesome player

[@leogiangrande4130]

herbie has influenced my world and life for decades. miles should have listened to him

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Oh my!!!

[@waynefoote3781]

Man...Herbie is the Cooking est Kat ever!!! He is a complete Gentleman also by the way, at an incredible concert at the greek theatre in Berkley California circa 1981, Herbie took a picture with my Wonderful mom............. while he was nice enough to hold her purse for her as she hugged him! I was 19 years old then and although I no longer have the shot it is an everlasting and simply beautiful memory.

[@perrykleez]

Great group energy on the Herbie solo!

[@bassman1219]

I agree.the original recorded version was slower, tight and Paul Jackson/ the bassist made that groove sizzling

[@pablogodinez3999]

This is top tier.

[@aaronstielstra6055]

Guitar Watson. Senza parole.

[@danopticon]

I mean, it’s already crazy-good for the first half… but then Herbie hits the keys, and somehow it gets - I mean, I don’t even know how to quantify it: it doesn’t get 10x or 100x groovier, it goes off on a UFO trip and plants the seeds of the Inca empire and gives Bigfoot a ride… and somehow that band hangs along for Mr. Hancock’s cosmic trip and even powers the rocket!! I mean, “Right on!” barely covers it: my third eye was opened and beheld a fourth, that’s what a ride this was!!

[@alexbrewer5799]

Nobody ever did or will BRING IT like these guys... Whooo-EEEE !

[@xijinvegg]

The bass player is nuts, amazing

[@johnthorpe8341]

HERBIE THE BAND NO SWET THE GROOVE THANK YOU TO ALL AND EVERYONE FOR THIS

[@MrAfrodrew]

Holy shit Herbie. Somehow you matched the intensity of say, Jimi Hendrix at Isle of White, but on acoustic piano. Truly stunning.

[@michaelobrien8219]

i like everything i've heard from this band - gratitude to those who made this film happen

Daddy's on the phone with that pianosolo, and he talks 'bout seeing harmonic structures to make the magic happen. Augmented chords building awesome tension as I analyse

[@larryrichardson9378]

That's what you call jazzfunk/fusion. Everyone was playing their ass off. I could hardly keep up with them on that tempo. Then they just smoove it right out. I love it. I wonder what year this was in ?

[@Pete.Warner]

[@mbontemps]

Daryl Jones on bass. Actually playing with Rolling Stones !

[@vdelrio1955]

And he also played with the great Steps Ahead! Currently with his own great trio: The Stone Riders

[@denizkahyaoglu8156]

Does anybody know the line herbie quoted at 05:39 ?

[@8beef4u]

This is "Hang up Your Hangups" not "Air Dancing"

[@LOFTmusicChannel]

Thank you. It has been corrected.

[@colins7771]

this is probably too funky for safety

[@zZAPp-fi]

they've started at higher tempo (around 131 bpm) and then slowed down a bit on Cinelu in. Beside that, amazing piece, i remember when i tried to figure out the rhythm of the individual lines in the studio version, quite deceptive with on and off beats (in the first the guitar seemed to me starting off beat but it wasn't)

[@andyokus5735]

Quit thinking so much and just play. If you can...

[@peterm7548]

The ad breaks make this unwatchable. You Tube is another example of how money tries to oppress us and mess around with our culture. The artists so disfigured ought to demand that music vids have no ad breaks during songs only between them! Is it that hard?
