Friends & Love... A Chuck Mangione Concert
Chuck Mangione was invited to conduct a Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra*
concert in May of 1970, and was given full rein of the affair. The result
is contained in this album - a concert which Chuck composed for a full
symphony orchestra and six superbly accomplished soloists, imaginatively
staged with special visual effects, and performed before a standing-room-only
crowd of over 3,500. This concert was videotaped by WXXI in Rochester, New York,
under grants from the Eastern Educational Television Network, the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting, and the R. T. French Co.
Mangione's music is strongly rooted in the jazz idiom, but he is reluctant
to categorize his compositions: " 'Friends & Love was a gathering of
musicians from a variety of backgrounds, each one of whom contributed
to the whole. When the music is honest and full of love, labels aren't
important and people will listen with an open mind".
Listen friends Out of hearts, confused by war
Take my hand and step outside Let answers show -
Let's look around - Let's all forgive -
Look ahead - And all begin to LIVE ...
And into ourselves ...
In our minds Listen friends
Let there be a peaceful glow Take one night and kiss the sky.
And call it love - Let's all be free -
Open up - Let's join hands -
And let it flow ... And feel LOVE ...

[@vernastoner1396]

I have always loved this song and arrangement since I first heard it in 1971.

[@vernastoner1396]

I stumbled upon this after spending many years of trying to get this. I absolutely LOVE this

[@vernastoner1396]

I was a student at SUNY when I 1st heard this song and arrangement in 1971. Love this more each year.

[@davidinparkcity]

soprano sax by gerry niewood...you changed my musical life gerry...thank you for that and rest in peace

[@small_ed]

RIP Gerry N. 🌺

[@vernastoner1396]

Been playing this song u/i multiple times.

[@bob.pejman]

Most unique and underrated theme

[@chinaman722]

passing on this kind of music to my children to enjoy...

[@stevecross7095]

We started a college radio station at Southerstern State College in Durant OK in 1970 and this was a most requested album late nights. Good weed, cheap wine, a fine lady and Chuck. That was the booth, don't know what listeners were doing.

[@jamestheelder87]

I was at this concert (actually there were several) at the Rochester Auditorium Theater back in the 70s. The acoustics are fantastic there. The recording doesn't do the song justice. The sound was so fat it just blew you back into your seat. I had goosebumps and the hair was standing up on the back of my neck. It was electric.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Gerry Niewood was in the Army reserve 98th division with my uncle. It really hurt when he was killed in that tragic plane crash over Buffalo years ago. Gerry was a blessing to the saxophone.

[@small_ed]

I likewise was shocked when I found out about Gerry. Excellent musician...I have his solo album from 1985 on CD. RIP 🌺

[@stevenrolston6696]

I am fortunate enough to have this magnificent recording on vinyl. I recall watching this with my dad on Channel 13 (PBS) in The Bronx around 1970 or 1971. A thrilling perfomance. Hey Itunes, you only have a 4 minute version of this on some 1971 reunion album. PLEASE issue this full version!

[@1deprat1]

I grew up around the Rochester area and was in the high school orchestra and stage band in the 70's. I loved his music then and I love it now. Subtle but great music !!!!!!

[@Sclapt61]

Steve Gadd🤘

[@eldievalenciano7967]

Legend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kenvan40]

Saw Chuck Magione live with Ester Satterfield, Bat McGrath and Don Potter in ~1972 at the Eastman Kodak Theater in Rochester and will never forget the experience

[@spikeironwood1472]

I had this double vinyl back in high school. I graduated in ‘76. Saw him in Vermont with some friends.

[@free2bpoppie]

When this came out, I knew that I had to play music! The orchestration is so remarkable, the way that the unity of the song, makes you want to listen to what its saying to you. The mixture of the instruments both acoustic and electric, man, this song has "GENIUS" written all over it! Home town boy, does real good! (Bad grammer intended!)

[@marellamofo]

One of the greatest musical arrangements every known to man...

[@romac53]

Been looking all over for this version. Thanx for posting. Grew up in Buffalo listening to this quasi local hero on the radio all the time and used to crank this on my car radio as I would practically convulse to the slow and steady crescendo at the end. He and Bat McGrath and other friends were around here in concerts for years. What a treat!

[@gregoryuschold3870]

I also grew up in Buffalo.

[@JasveerSingh-ys9ym]

I played this in the college jazz band

[@small_ed]

Also my high school jazz band 😊

[@philanna38]

Back in the 70s I played this over and over and...

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Me too. It was my big sister's album, but I listened to this song so much she finally just gave it to me.

[@deadmanswife3625]

Rochester new York

[@timherron2866]

Man, this is really crazy and wonderful to hear again some 40 years later!...I was 17 when first stumbled onto Chuck when I picked up an album in my house that my brother left behind...and I thought "who is this cool Dude with the trumpet" (or so I thought)...it was the "Together" album and was totally knocked off my feet with Hill Where the Lord Hides....man'o man....quality never diminishes!...thanks so much for the post!

[@jonanderson8211]

Saw this in Rochester and Toronto. Gorgeous piece of music Flugelhorn awesome instrument Chuck you are outst

[@ericindiongco6802]

Legendary opus from an epic album. Tons of great memories with each note. Best listened to atop a hill or mountain top at sunset... Thanks for the upload. 🎺😎🎷🥁

[@YellaRose]

Can't this version anywhere...it's the best one in my opinion...the one I remember! LOVE IT!

[@elesdos]

Great song from early 70's. Thanks for posting a very good version of this classic !!

[@grunch42]

We used to go skiing song mountain (tully ny - midnight maddness) and on the ride in, my roomy would time starting a tape of this tune such that as the final strains we played of the fanastic conclustion of this song faded away, we would roll to a stop at the base of the mountain.

[@DarrellBellJr]

I've only heard this jawn on vinyl. I had to have a friend record it on pro tools and burn it on cd so i could play it at my wedding. one of my favorite songs ever. The horns at 4:02 are crazy!

[@66pigman]

Incredible piece of music! I first heard this on WSDM in Chicago in 1970. At that time WSDM was known as "The station with the girls", as women were rare on FM radio back then. Falconstrap, thank you for this!

[@121932]

I like the music! been wanting to hear this in a very long time

[@davidcarson1959]

Saw him on The Mike Douglas Show way back playing Chase the Clouds Away with a full orchestra. So good! Still have the vinyl. Thank you.

[@atchiexiv]

the best version I have heard of this song is the live version at rose bowl

[@sueintexas]

If you go to his website you can purchase the DVD of the concert.

[@mattfinnish]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. It’s the only full length cut of this recording that I can find online. ❤️

[@vernastoner1396]

Yes!!!!

[@harrietjohnson1930]

OMG! I love this so much!! It moves me every time I hear it and I first heard it on Chicago radio station WSDM back in the '70s. Jess, love to you for uploading the version I'm crazy for.

[@user-sm5ue1mb3x]

やっと日本で、チャック・マンジョウネの「神ある丘」を見つける事ができた。LPは持ってたけど､出稼ぎなので聞けなかった。感動。 でも、ここのコメント英語ばかりなので、すぐ消されるんだろうな。

[@Gostwriterindisguise]

Why does The Lord lie upon a hill?

[@mattistvan]

Do you assume that because he is "Hiding", he is lying down?

[@chrisfrenchnyc]

@dawhistleblower Hey -- i'm gonna email you. Watch for it! :)
