[@MetaDifool]

I had the chance and the great pleasure to be there. The date on the video is not 100% right. The actual date of the concert is June 28, 1985.

[@leehow86]

Here...Miles and his band on another planet! These sounds are hard to define! Miles, you're the master of the musical stage. Oh my, what a standard!

[@mamertomanglejr2249]

9_€€0. -@@-@$

[@AndersChanTidemann]

Miles Davis plays his butt off in this video, and the band is slamming too. I guess the whole "jazz died in 1967" crowd don't get it - fine. Leave it to us to enjoy. Miles note choice and placement, his groove, his charisma - it's all there. Oh and John Scofield's guitar solo on the opening track is one of the greatest you'll ever hear. Plus Darryl Jones, Bob Berg...this band is packed with fantastic musicians all bringing it because they are in awe at being on stage with the one and only himself.

[@fritzwert6649]

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen. :D

[@david.jacoby]

Agreed. I saw the next iteration of this band at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in 1986. Robben Ford was on that date, a great player whose subsequent transformation into a “blues guitarist” has always baffled me. Whatever, this group is just balls to the wall 80s fusion jazz, man. Such a great time to have been seeing lots of shows. Who’s the drummer on this date, do you know?

[@david.jacoby]

In deference to Mr. Ford, I should say I haven’t really followed his career. I’m going to go see if I know what I’m talking about ;)

[@AndersChanTidemann]

David, the drummer is Miles nephew Vince Wilburn.

[@danielhowison7262]

I was at that concert sitting in the first row on the right side of the stage (Scofield's side). What a blast that concert was. Will remember forever.

[@lilablaustein2790]

NO Mention of the late great Bob Berg on any of these comments.

[@gregorytate8514]

+Lila Blaustein Nope. And Berg's first soprano solo is especially killin'...

[@david.jacoby]

Got to see him a bunch... such an absolute force to be reckoned with. My best memory of Bob was him showing up in a cab to 55 Christopher, hopping out with his case in his hand, and squeezing through the packed crowd to the stage (such as it was) and just absolutely DESTROYING. He was on stage when I saw Miles in ‘86 at SPAC as well. Man we were so lucky back in those days...

[@Flemmingdoerken]

57:59 - apparently Frank Zappa is a cameraman in his spare time...

[@lunaphil67]

Right on Scofield!

[@drinkawater7477]

My favorite Miles video. This is the concert I would see if I could go back in time

[@dieterjohnson3018]

Darryl Jones has to be bored out of his mind playing with the Rolling Stones! I imagine the paychecks are pretty damn sweet, though.

[@karloarsch1579]

I saw Darryl last night with Mike Stern, Keith Carlock & Bob Malach and mike´s wife. They were brilliant and everyone could see how much Darryl enjoyed playing. I´m sure his paycheck was not more than a nice tip for that night (small club), so it is absolutely ok to play the bass for the Stones. Also why should the fans of the Stones not enjoy one of the best living bass players?

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

@@karloarsch1579 "one of the best living bass players?" ...yeah, sure. pfffff

[@mateusalves9436]

No shame in taking the bigger paycheck for the stability and the family, same thing with trujillo in metallica and buckethead on GNR.

[@def2008]

Bob is the man....

[@mackjigger6030]

Scofield is the king of abstract

[@lisafan6365]

I still love this album

[@RobertDeMiedo]

Miles is The Man.

[@dasbakon]

John Scofield is something else, man

[@BYR00746]

Recording 1985/06/28

[@zensutraguitar]

I saw Miles twice this year, both shows totally different but equally amazing....

[@RioParadiso]

Band Stardust...

[@beatthekiyo]

Miles, the "Great Architect of Music"!

[@matspersson4408]

[@FilmDoctor42]

Re first song, the guitarist was more impressive than Davis.

[@Stemma3]

Sounds like Zappa but "cleaner", I loved it too.

[@markbritton6798]

the 1st is a miles davis composition tom snyder your a plank 1st class

[@jaeldeepbassplayer]

Sco's Chorus ! just fantastic

[@algojeff]

From my very own point of view, this is the best ever fusion gig available on KZbin! Jean-Pierre has never been so fantasticaly improvised, with Daryl and Sco kicking everybody' ass on this planet! Should have been there, at FJM 1985, instead of drinking atrocious cider in a park nearby... Berg, Sco, everybody, even Vince, are top notch here! And what about the Grand master...

[@gsco82]

This is certainly not Miles Davis at his best, but it is certainly worth listening to.

[@stubhead]

Fuck a duck, man - I'm sure if you asked THEM {Them's that still alive :>( } they might want to change a note or two, but goll-eee! Perfection walks up and whacks you like a brick. I saw the 73 band in Austin - Stern and Scofield and Munch KNOWING they were in Guitartown - "rise to the situation" is putting it mildly.

[@subatomicllove]

CHULADA DE CONCIERTO, GRACIAS SCHAVELZON !!!!

[@liamerick7262]

john scofield is on fire !

[@mateusalves9436]

Scofield is one of the few guys that manages to look cool with a guitar strapped that high.

[@antoniomelillo6274]

good

[@RioParadiso]

Got this DVD back in 2005 when moved down do Rio, got into a busted life.. now i´m getting newer and boosting up my new era, listen to this again!! God Bless!!

[@electricchurchmusic4298]

Superb Concert !!

[@ANZALA1000]

Mr.Daryl Jones !! Forever ! One of the best bass players !

[@Bear-ow9gy]

[@erikvandermarliere5404]

Daned good, the f GREATEST

[@blackrocknutt]

originally recorded by a great 80s Nj based R&B band called D Train

[@logicalpolice]

I remember recording this from TV to VHS, then eventually to cassette. I can still scat the whole thing. Some of my favuorite Miles!

[@musicmaste1956]

[@mikeschmitz2029]

Personnel... by any chance?

[@familleergan]

the third song is "something in your mind"

[@kidtronic]

It is what it is, not the labels or yardsticks. None of us will ever hear him play live. Thanks for putting it up. Personally I find beautiful moments in what the band played that night.

[@wjdfhr57]

9:43 John Scofield

[@markbritton6798]

re the 1st song its called a smile & a wave and is on the j johnson discs,before you state preferences at least listen to mclaughins opening in the track,this is a re hash i know who i prefer out of the two & it aint schofield not by a lifetime

[@jumpschool1]

The band is really tight, I am surprised that this session did not disappear into someones personal collection, When did foley join the group?

[@MichaelSmith-um2uv]

I wish I could have sat in and heard him play during a sesh. I always wondered growing up if he meant to mess those notes up or if he just didnt care or if it was some kind of a joke to him. The older he got he seemed to not care whether his tone was screwed up or not.

[@perkyporkpie]

Just bloody fabulous. Everything Miles ever did sounds like it was recorded a few hours ago- stone cold musical genius.

[@marcosvilhena8082]

album maravihoso adoro a formaçao desta banda cada improviso algo inigualavel.miles era o cara.

[@twinpyramid5985]

Bass lick 9:03

[@donh3590]

thanks for this...forgot much i liked this era. would this be called miles 4.0 ?

[@alexgerasimidis169]

φοβερή λαϊβιά....

[@Chambrette]

Miles, the worst guy for stage monitors about feedbacks =)

[@cymbya]

cool shirt

[@John-kk6uh]

The bassplayer deserves an honorable mention.. Nice Slap Bass!!

[@tantotonto]

Quite apart from the fact that as far as i know, he (Daryll Jones) was de facto musical director around this time - after this it was Marcus Miller. It would have been a massive task holding that set together.

[@jumpschool1]

Daryl really locks in the grove while john takes off.

[@JamesJohnson-iw4wj]

MILES Davis and friends my favorite of all times.

[@OneSupreme08]

Supreme...when I hear Scofield I feel like shit, why even bother to still play guitar, he is just rippin everything off !!

[@merrittmussorgsky2937]

It should uplift you, inspire you make you want to practice all the more man.

[@matspersson4408]

goran Kajfes

[@jbmurdock5264]

He is amazing, even outplays Jeff Beck IMHO. I am a fiddle player, swing, jazz. That dude on the soprano sax certainly kicks major ass too. I asked my former guitar play why he didn't play like Scofield and he told me to go F**k myself. HAHA!

[@claudiomate3778]

I like reggae but this man is amazing one of best jazz

[@carl-johanhorberg1399]

And on sax we have: DUKE NUKEM!

[@battestifrancois9671]

We have lost 1 off the best slaper...

[@masbajo]

[@pavelczyzynski7683]

The superb section around 13:00 is a mashup from Scofield's excellent 'still warm' studio album on gramavision

[@laurentkasprowicz]

Where is the track list please ?

[@violinoamore]

Dark and aggressive ... I don't like it ...

[@Eso_Vamos.84]

the best!

[@justmeg387]

what was the album he performed here?

[@masbajo]

mostly "you're under arrest" (1985)

[@Baz63]

is this concert on DVD anyone?

[@robertgorman5615]

Yes I bought this exact concert DVD on Amazon

[@luismaricuadra4804]

¿ Que tema es el que empieza en el minuto 41,00?

[@masbajo]

luis mari Cuadra se llama Code M.D. del album Decoy

[@luismaricuadra4804]

Gracias Martin

[@MrRaretunes]

Miles is fkn lost

[@ghostdance92056]

+MrRaretunes - Miles knew EXACTLY what he was doing. He rehearsed the living hell out of his 80's bands, and I know this from talking with Bobby Berg and Mike Stern. I defy you to put together a band that tight.

[@ajbond41]

the best musician of the 20th Century

[@SELMER1947]

Stupid comment, there are so many great musicians

[@travis-bs3bs]

one of the best musicians

[@ARod-br2ui]

Who is playing sax?

[@puchicarsjapan]

+A. Rod bob berg

[@dorengarcia5097]

Berg said: "Miles fired me for playing too much. I couldn't help it, it sounded so good." You can see Miles thinking that around 29:30 the band starts to gel... especially the percussion and digital synth... Miles is listening for directions... Berg just keeps playing over it ruining it. Berg just isn't listening. Miles just couldn't drop saxes, even though they weren't working, he was just too used to having them. Miles couldn't get his sound right for awhile when digital synths came in, because they didn't do improvising as well as analogue synths. You can hear around that section that they do percussion/rhythm though. Miles said the drums set the band off, and in my opinion his best music was when the band was the drum. Drum rhythms from Africa but tuning from Europe. That's what Jazz is, African rhythm, European harmony. Loved the Dewey... never be another like him. Love his middle stuff the most, really fierce driven, avant guard but swingin'.

[@ARod-br2ui]

puchicarsjapan bob berg did some work with tom coster also I think.

[@ChefAnatoly]

Easily one of the better performances of Miles and his crew of Knights at the Round Table. I especially appreciate the Unabashed, Unapologetic, Vigorous, and Masculine sound this performance embodies. Miles is easily the Best Jazz Composer. Bob Berg has an Excellent Performance. John Scofield does his thing. Everyone did a Great Job! Guys just having a Great Time Rockin Out!

[@etiennecoiffard5684]

black is black...il n'y a plus d'espoir.

[@drumsnippets4171]

Poor Drummer, has to play the groove so long without anything happens during Miles solo:)

[@drumsnippets4171]

Sco is the killer:)

[@taxipantaitp5606]

Là ils s'amusent bien ! Daryl Jones à la basse, génial ! Bob berg au sax et scofield à la grat pour les solos...super concert, certainement l'un des meilleurs des années 80 pour Miles et sa musique. We Want Miles !!!!
