[@GerardoMcCabe]

+Tapio Rantala It's amazing how all these musicians became big names in jazz...

[@davidvelleman6655]

Keith Jack and Chick would be famous no matter what.

[@leonAzul42]

Are sure about the personnel ? Part of the year that was true, yet it is definitely Keith Jarret who is playing Fender-Rhodes @30', that sure looks and sounds a lot more like Jaco on bass, and Chick Corea is playing an ARP synthesizer for the encore.

[@maredicorsica]

When Miles leave the stage at 42'57" , the first fan he met at his right in the backstage was the young Carlos Santana.

[@samlewis7878]

INCREDIBLE!

[@frederickpando9444]

Yes, there is a Santana interview on You Tube where he is asked when did he first meet Miles Davis. Santana said it was at this concert.

[@MaoistBanker]

Santana played on the bill that night. Their whole set is on here too

[@teamyordle23]

Wow, that is Carlos Santana!

[@bmuhamad]

I wonder, did Bartz actually despise Jarrett or Jarrett's style of playing? Jarrett provides the best colors & temperance. The band itself, is smokin'.

[@craiganderson3894]

I was born 2 hours after Miles’ performance at Isle of Wight festival Sat 29.08.70. His music will never be forgotten.RIP.

[@DD_brother]

This period of Miles is what helped me crossover into jazz as a prog rock fan.

[@axs203]

I love all the stuff Keith Jarret plays in this - it's like he takes the Bitches Brew weird riffs somewhere else .........and when Miles D plays on his own it's so moving. Bitches Brew was the sound of the past, future and the present ...it's complex music that is well funky

[@johnayres2303]

axs203 I prefer Chick’s playing. Keith’s organ is just a mushy noise. He was good after Chick left and he took over the Fender Rhodes.

[@luiselizondo2969]

And the interplay with Chick Corea on Directions is beyond description. Some serious listening and response was done between the two after Gary Bartz solo.

[@uncasist]

@@johnayres2303 I agree, the two amazing keyboardists get in each other's way. Chick was perfect as the only keyboardist. Here and Isle of Wight, Chick spends alot of playing time trying not to get in Jarrett's way phrase wise and sonically. You can hear Chick try to engage Jarrett, but either because of poor stage sound or Jarret's personal deference, they don't really engage with each other much. Jarrett's long lyricism and 'ragtime-funk' stylings didn't work well in this band until he was the only keyboardist. Chick was WAY too quick for Jarrett.

[@llamapie24]

Two keyboards and no guitar Miles with DeJohnette gives such a different feel to his live performances. Reminiscent of On the Corner a few years later because of the drumming style. Maybe my favourite electric Miles live lineup? According to Bartz Miles was in a really good place with this band, no drinking, no smoking etc. It shows, they kill every performance I've seen. Make sure you don't miss the Isle of Wight performance with the same group, fucking mindblowing

[@stuartdinkes8048]

THIS CONCERT WAS EXACLY FOUR WEEKS BEFORE THE DEATH OF JIMI HENDRIX 9-18 70 WHAT A SHAME JIMI WANED SO BAD TO DO A ALBUM WITH MILES IN 1970 BEFORE HE DIED MAYBE SOME OF THESE GREAT MUSICIANS WOULD OD BEEN ON THERE OR AT LEASE GUEST ON THE LP!! IY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE MILES TONY WILLIAMS PAUL McCartney BASS JIMI GUITAR WHAT A LINE UP. WHICH PROBALY WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST LPS EVER MADE SOMETHING ON THE LEVEL AS KIND OF BLUE!! WHAT A DAM SHAME!!!

[@jonathancook6557]

Yes! Isle of Wight is absolutely 🔥

[@owenrich175]

I feel ultimately blessed watching this. I finished my Miles Davis album collection 5 years ago. And only had the albums to enjoy. Now i have the honor to watch him perform in a concert filmed in 1970? WOW!!!!!!

[@lisafan6365]

+Owen Rich right! isn't youtube great :D

[@owenrich175]

+Lisa Fan Yes it is. I guess you do have an idea how great it is too lol. Maybe I'll be inspired to share some of my collection of videos and audio as well. I don't mean to be selfish...i'm just so caught up in sea of treats on here that I can't move lol.

[@EdwardSanchezMusic]

Most are all takes, Miles was all about the moment. Live was what made Miles great Jazz is all about Improv. Now a ''Live'' performance is another producer version. Miles was always beyond all that Crap.

[@callmemonkh9020]

NO ONE...will remember that 'wyn-done' mutherfckr. Compared to Miles? Ha! Dewey laughs last....! HaHaHaHa!!

[@JasonDemakis]

This performance turned 40 years old as of yesterday... ...And still sounds fresh as hell! Miles and co. absolutely ruled.

[@jcastillox]

Jason Demakis more than fresh. Still ahead he was a visionary.

[@EdwardSanchezMusic]

It was always Miles and Co and not the other way round. He was like an immortal Coach the last of the GODS. Always scouting the best players to suit his next fatal genius formation. He would come in hungover as a Dog not talking to anyone all he did was begin the count,,,,Miles always put his ART above everything. A total Musical entity we mere mortals have the rare pleasure to witness every once thousand years.

[@bmuhamad]

50 years young, now.

[@waldobrown9265]

I think your math is wrong

[@Raymantico]

I saw him play Smith College Fall 1970 right after this concert I believe---nothing like it

[@MaoistBanker]

Miles Davis and Santana on the same stage on the same night. Two amazing sets, people got their money’s worth

[@darrylguerrant5101]

Yeah! Miles plays his last note starts off the stage takes his mute from off the top of Corea's fender rhoades. Corea gets up walks off behind Dave Holland following Miles. Santana, in the leather jacket, clapping with Bill Graham, follows Corea. Then Bartz, and then Jarrett leave. Bill Graham goes to the mic. I saw Moreira getting his percussion array off the stage floor. DeJohnette I could not see what happened there, he may have already left the stage. That had to be an unbelieveable night of sounds.

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

@@darrylguerrant5101 Carlos knew what was up. Being a fan of Miles himself, he was more than grateful for the chance to share the stage with a true legend.

[@musungu79]

This should be shown everywhere. They should make screens at traffic lines showing this performance.

[@janicak]

The painted lines delineating car movement? Sounds like a crazy amount of screens when we can just distribute cuicas to the homeless.

[@SS-tt2sk]

I would be stuck in traffic watching instead of driving.

[@jjjj6581]

They wont u no

[@mikemcgrath1158]

Yes it could be titled the sounds of traffic accidents. Lololooo just joking!!!!!!

[@mikemcgrath1158]

[@gianca60]

Miles Davis and then Santana in the same night: wow!

[@quogir1]

for both the concert of their lives it seems

[@DiamondImages3DMiami]

Yeah at 14 years old I was there and it changed my musical life. I'm not a pro musician but as a listener it was a stretch I needed. On top of the Miles Santana musical bomb, The Voices of East Harlem and a 40 piece Trinidadian steel drum band was a real education beyond mere entertainment. I consider myself VERY lucky to have been there

[@simplemods7098]

oh thanks Gianca to say that i didn't know...'cause the Santana concert is a crasy one...one of my favourite....and Miles at this period is my god as Santana...whaoa!!!! A dream had existed...!!! But i was too youg and i live in France, i discover them when i was 12/13 in 1973...they are always my gods....all my long life they have been my light in music...!!! ( excuse my english...)

[@undergroundjohnny]

@@DiamondImages3DMiami Wow , that's awesome man!

[@mattsmith2119]

I was there also. I remember the steel band, and Santana. Out on the lawn in a huge crowd, just taking it all in. I’ve been watching the Santana clips for some time time now, amazed at how good they were. I think it was a little hard to tell, far from the stage with only 1970 tv on the building. I was shocked to find out Miles was there, just last week when I saw the clips. He was way over my head then, but it didn’t take too long for me to find out. After I grew a little, I was smarter, and went back to Tanglewood to see Ella Fitzgerald with Count Basie. I’ve been very lucky.

[@samlewis7878]

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION - This is the definition of freedom of expression and whatever was going on in Mile's personal life he was the man----Head and shoulders beyond everybody else it remains the bomb.... so good, so fresh, so brilliant! All hail, Miles Davis.

[@AnthonyHonoriio]

Airtooo!🙌🏼🇧🇷

[@JCR1992]

The iconic Jack Johnson photo comes from this concert.

[@jonathancook6557]

I always loved that one. I remember I was at a Tool concert (in NH), and I saw a young man wearing a t-shirt with that photo on it. I was thoroughly impressed 👍

[@ADURG1]

thank you deeply....LOVE Elec. Miles... and the 2 keys (Chick/Keith) lineup is primo mind-bend! (=

[@El_Bicho_Feo]

Pure interactive genius. Makes complete sense to me.

[@defshrimp]

This is about as raw as they come. Been listening to lots of Miles lately both audio and video, but THIS one takes the fucking cake! Thanks for the upload my friend.

[@flame-sky7148]

Yea man it's straight up raw. Most of its improvised, but its so real, so free. It's a battle out there.

[@guymorrison4800]

I'd think this isn't raw - it's exactly what that was meant to be.

[@Goatchild90]

Miles Davis was a musical badass!

[@callmemonkh9020]

MILES' CURTAIN CALL AND ENCORE, IS THE BEST I'VE EVER FELT! WE all WERE BLOWN AWAY BY WHAT WE JUST SAW & HEARD!

[@jerrynelson1929]

Love the In a Silent Way version from 21:00 to 28:00, Gary Bartz shows so much restraint before he starts to solo. Chick right on the money- you never see him since the camera always follows Jarrett,s hypnotic gyrations . Bartz solo on Spanish Key really swings. Shorter is a really tough act to follow- I love this group with DeJohnette and Dave on bass with Airto and Chick.

[@drummaman1]

at 30:40 when he launches into "Spanish Key"...so funky!!!

[@TheVibratory]

yooooooo

[@kevinr.3542]

Just like the isle of Wight concert. He plays that intro riff, and the band is immediately right there with him. No hesitation. Just launched into it.

[@mikefields4136]

The transition really impresses me. Jack Dejohnette is ALL over it, just gives a grin and falls into.that funky groove....incredible band

[@hajimaji]

@@mikefields4136 For me the DeJohnette period is the coolest of electric Miles. non stop creativity, funky as hell with an mind-bending elasticity of time. When Foster took over it was the exact opposite.

[@WickedTester176]

Al Foster added his equally important and awesome own flair to Miles’s band.

[@AdrienBass]

miles lives

[@teelurizzo8542]

Same event that Santana played on, it's also on YT. John Scofield has said he went to this concert, just a few weeks before the of his freshman year at Berklee College of Music. This one and the follow up from 1971 were my fave bands form Miles 'electric' era.

[@michaelhanlon6118]

Not everyone can understand this music..,....... I'm glad l can..

[@Voetsekhond]

It is a pity that our kids will never listen to this or experience such a great musician in real life. We should be grateful and praise ourselves lucky that we lived in an era of such giants.

[@thaxtonwaters8561]

My kids have NO choice. They are surrounded by it.

[@amandaleadickson]

Mine too

[@emmanuelgarre3858]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[@BluesHeavy]

for these guys at the time it must have been so fun playing dissonant type of solos over a grove. if you think about it they reached a point in their musical careers that they needed to break from the structure of bebop, blues and other jazz forms and needed a creative release. They wanted to see how far out they could go combining scales with keys that didn't typically blend anything that broke the traditional sounds. it's similar to painters who experiment with abstract a way to break from the norm and still express that which is locked in your head. for most this just sounds like a bunch of guys warming up but the way their minds work there is a very reasonable method to the madness. By doing things like this new music can find a way.

[@kdutra805]

Well said....

[@ByJere100]

It's modal jazz

[@alifarrent5249]

Killer Miles awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwway

[@hexed8749]

No wonder.... I was like... dude this just sounds like noise, what's wrong with ME that I'm not getting what all the hype around Miles Davis is about? His whole career he just did the same 1 thing over and over again... waiting around for bars and bars of rests at a time, then popping in with noises sometimes that sounds like a cat dying a horrific death. Some of the licks indeed are more like sound effects than actual melodies comprised of harmonious notes... (I'm a musician myself, play bass and guitar, had a touring metal band for a decade, etc...)

[@intarunner]

we were lucky to witness this period of Miles more than any other ////

[@J410music]

This is on steady rotation. One of Miles great bands, so much to listen to!

[@jamesarline5664]

This was excellent footage.

[@SanJordiBluenotian]

Great！ あふれる音の中を、マイルスのリフやフレーズが自在に泳ぐ感じです。サイドマンの出す音を聴いて、ここというところで吹いています。ドラムやベースのリズムがもう中東やアフリカの音楽、時にはフリージャズ風ですね。 「もう、ハードバップは、やり尽くした。今のオレの音楽はこれだ」、マイルスはそんな心境だったのでしょうか。

[@annesilverman469]

When I was 14 yrs old, I got tix to SANTANA and I got to see Miles and the Genius Crew too.. They opened the concert at Tanglewood of all places. I JUST found this KZbin and am thrilled. Love Santana but became more of a Miles fan in the following years. I heard Miles gave Carlos some coke and Carlos felt he never found his groove that day.......could be lore

[@MichaelCrutcher]

I don't believe that. The Santana set that would follow this Miles set is unbelievable. They're on fire, better than the Woodstock performance.

[@beefheart1410]

Show me any music that even comes close to this...from any era. John Zorn probably comes close but this is beyond anything anyone could comprehend. I also think it comes during a time where there were so many young and super talented jazz musicians who were discovering their sound during their time with Miles. And of course Miles brought out things in them they didn't even know were there.
