Miles Davis - Electric Medley

Ricky Wellman demonstrating why he was hired.

[@RobeeMan]

One of the greatest bands ever!God bless you, Miles Davis!

[@digimaton]

this is driving in the pocket drumming, that's what he excelled at (still does), and that's why Miles hired him. Nothing to do with the "jazz scene" Wellman cut his teeth on Go-Go. Great pocket players have a certain feel while locking the tempo in, it's not as easy as it sounds, he maintains that driving high-energy groove for over 10 minutes without faltering, that's a feat in itself.

[@soulslaveone]

YES!

[@anthonyrichards6580]

As ABSOLUELY INCREDIBLE as this video is, YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE TO EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY LIVE! It was my first time seeing Miles live. I saw him again a year or two after that. The medley played here are "One Phone Call/Street . Scenes/Intruder" R.I.P. Miles and Ricky Wellman. MILES FOREVER!!

[@honeybozo]

band is tight as a mother and Miles knows it and is in the zone...... wonderful - great sound: thanks for upload (this is classical music btw - ppl will study this in 200 years time)

[@yellowstar1love]

best music miles 4ever!

[@timboech]

Yesterday I`ve seen Kenny Garrett live. Guys, the music - their spirit - this is the real deal. What Miles passed to his musicians is way beyond anything you can imagine. Read the booklets, see the interviews and listen and play for years and you might get an idea of what is "the zone"... Peace ;-)

[@honeybozo]

Tight as a motha; makes me happy, inspires me 2 get into my own flow... Thx Miles for ur vision

[@patnoonan1]

Of course Miles, Ricky, Darly, and Joe are killin it... but how about that Adam Holzman, and Minu! this band is insane!!

[@CampSpaceship]

f yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The abundance of FM synth tones in 80's fusion is somewhat unfortunate, just have to ignore them and it's not so bad. " Well said, Digimaton... I have to agree with you, even though I'm a bigger fan of the 70-75 period myself. I love Henderson and Foster, but these guys are pretty good, too...

[@paolahantar2811]

Haha, all you "boomers"! I think you have to evolve as Miles did in the '80s. I mean, if you still don't get it after 2000, I think you'll never do it! Sad. Because this is what i most like by Miles . . . The '80s and late '80s till the last concert in 91...

[@satishrobertson8771]

@@paolahantar2811 well said. It's long overdue that this period of Miles gets it's respect. He made powerful and vital music right up til the end with some of the most exciting lineups in the business.

[@agapericles]

Miles Is a Genius cuz he could listen to what was in birth

[@agapericles]

The future scares people

[@digimaton]

@TheSWBFtwo simply called 'Opening medley' haven't heard it yet, so don't know if is the version we hear in this video.

[@digimaton]

@pattilakes it's now available on the Deluxe Edition of Tutu, it was issued in May 2011.

[@ESP500]

miles looks so cool idk why, he just looks badass.

[@PampaGuez]

Duro al pezón .

[@anthonyrichards6580]

I saw this lineup at Westbury Music Fair in NY, it was 1987 I believe.

[@Ourfli]

@digimaton It is on Tutu. Called Opening medley

[@digimaton]

@Ourfli OK but not the original release, I can see now that it's on Deluxe Edition issued in May 2011, thanks for bringing that to my attention!

[@alcheatham]

RICKY SUGARFOOT WELLMAN

[@julesphoto]

.....excellent!!!

[@timboech]

@pattilakes I think this ultimate groove experience is not on the Tutu deluxe edition. The groove here is Daryll Jones and Ricky Wellman - Tutu deluxe is a different setup. There is a cd "last concert - live in Avignion" that sounds close but is bad mixed (keys way too loud)...This tune makes me grab my bass instantly!

[@danyelle8856]

No medicine lime Miles the Black sun !!!

[@digimaton]

these guys are certainly pretty good too, plus whatever the naysayers might say about Miles in the 80's, he did his own thing, found his own sound, and got some of best in the business to play it. Who else could have pulled off Jazz-Funk-Go Go at that time?

[@fred10lopes]

QUE VITALIDADE SONORA !!!

[@djmarkcotter]

Flintstones theme at the end, lol

[@digimaton]

Sure, the first years of the electric era certainly can't be surpassed. But fake? this rocks as hard as any of the Fortune, Cosey, Lucas, Henderson, Foster, Mtume era stuff, it's just a different generation of great musicians, all of whom were for real. The abundance of FM synth tones in 80's fusion is somewhat unfortunate, just have to ignore them and it's not so bad.

[@honeybozo]

@pattilakes @digimaton do yourself a favour and check out the complete Montreux live cd box set - if you like this you will not regret it; one phonecall (furiously paced - compare to Miles in Montreal '85 becomes a Prince tune and then really takes off Out There... ('Nam style)

[@HUNHORV]

8:42 - The Flintstones theme!!!!

[@danyelle8856]

vero eh eh

[@dermert]

Dis shit is bananas.

[@TheSWBFtwo]
