This is great . The expanded versions of Jack Johnson and On The Corner are a real treat too .

[@frontstandard1488]

Miles Davis is the Bach of the modern era. Bonafide genius.

[@teelurizzo8542]

In a way, this is Miles Davis best 'post acoustic' band line up. Don't get me wrong, the 'original' 1969 incarnation w/ Jack, Chick, Dave and Wayne was great and so was the super dense and trippy 1970 ensemble (Jack, Dave, Chick , Keith, Airto and either Steve or Gary) that played the many Fillmore gigs and the Isle of Wight Festival. But this 1971 band somehow has a more stripped dow, funkier, more groove oriented footing that perfectly mixed the earthy w/ the cerebral. And yeah as the liner notes here describe this band's sound is a direct predecessor to the 1972 On The Corner concept of rhythmic layering, textures and free counterpoint that would more or less inform the Miles Davis working bands thereafter.

[@eugeneeaves867]

you nailed it

[@AeroModule]

And one of the best things about this band is that Airto isn't here, endlessly farting around with that cuica

[@teelurizzo8542]

@@AeroModule Respectfully disagree. The Cuíca has a very unique sound, and was totally fitting w/ Miles' 1970, freer, kinda overcrowded, dual keyboard live band.Also, the cuíca was not the only instrument Airto played in the band. Still I think that for this 1971, stripped down band, Mtume and Don Alias approach was the more fitting.

[@docnelson2008]

A great band at one of it's creative peaks. A timely reminder that Miles was a catalyst for getting a band to produce magic, as well as inspiring with his horn.Back of the hair raising stuff-terrific.

[@rainerloretan1608]

unbelievable! Exactly around this time, at the age of 18, I discovered the modal jazz of the great Miles for the first time on Swiss radio. theoretically I could have been there..!! 🫥 'live evil' - my first album by miles - with this cast! wonderful: jarret in top form 🤩

[@barrazahector9330]

The greatest of all time; Miles.

Stage dynamics set the format for the integrity and compositional brilliance of the photographs.Music is the completion of daily life experiences.

[@Musicdigger62]

Finally on YT! I've already recorded this concert from a radio broadcast, maybe 30 years ago...i'll throw the CC Tapes away...I'm going to enjoy this one here! THX!!!

[@PhilDawsonmusic]

don't throw tapes away ever

[@PhilDawsonmusic]

private websites like youtube are not to be trusted 100% to keep stuff forever. why would they be?

[@PhilDawsonmusic]

another classic. and great sound too. thank you.

[@gabriel02071984]

this sounds amazing, and a great record from that creative 70 period of Miles... really impresive... love the sound quality

[@CristianXanco-gu4uc]

Todo un genio Miles Y siempre bien acompañado Hermoso ❤

[@toshimasakinoshita173]

Thanks for posting. The sound quality is very good!

[@guymorrison4800]

jeece this ones good. Michael Henderson is an under recognised numero uno funk bassist i think though we dont get to hear everything that was going on in the US then i sppose. But he does very nicely indeed.

[@jrheatwarp]

Really great to finally hear this second show in its complete form and in improved fidelity to boot! To my ears, the best set from the Fall '71 tour with Ndugu behind the kit.

[@MilestonesArchive]

Thanks, Jeremy!

[@theodekker7688]

Sure thing! Swings like hell, man .

[@theodekker7688]

Joe Xawinul is tremendous!

[@bmuhamad]

Got a chance to meet Ndugu @ one of the NAMM shows on the early 2000's. Think I had "What I Say", twin European tour sets from Switzerland & Fillmore West, circa Nov '71 with Jarrett, Ndugu, Bartz, Alias, Mtume, & Henderson. I showed them to him, he got excited. He said he needed to get more of the CDs...

[@rainerberneth437]

@@theodekker7688 This is Keith Jarrett, Zawinul was doing WR by that time.

[@kadro06]

Great. Thanx so much for posting this precious recording...

[@philjm3103]

Can I be the first to thank you for this, and all the other wonderful posts - the Bitches Brew set the other week is astonishing!

[@bmuhamad]

Excellent set, and great pictures....

thanks for all the new miles content, i am a mega fan of his electric/fusion period, adore all these uploads!

Very interesting interplay between Ndugu & Mike Henderson...

Yes, indeed thanks so much for posting all the Directions In Music that you do!

[@Azel954]

Absolutely killer set.

[@louise_rose]

Great upload! Miles' output from these years is spread out over so many different albums and archival releases (som emerging only long after his death in 1991) that I didn't quite realize there had been a complete break-off in studio work for almost two years after the summer of 1970 up till May 1972, and so few official live recordings from the same period. Are there any clues about the reasons for this sudden drop-off? He had one of the greatest live bands of his career (as documented here and on Live-Evil), they were steadily touring and he knew he was making history. Did Columbia refuse to fund more recording when they already had a backlog of unreleased material? There was the planned but aborted project of sessions with Jimi Hendrix as a featured soloist - I remember reading a comment here on KZbin last year by some guy who had been a junior engineer at the time, he claimed to have seen (in August 1970) a note in somebody's calendar at the CBS studios in NY for October 2, a session booked for Miles and Jimi. Of course that never happened, instead Hendrix was buried in Seattle the same day, with Miles Davis in attendance. :(

[@bmuhamad]

Keith Jarrett is playing electric piano and RMI, Rocky Mount Instrument ( North Carolina), an early portable and transistorized electric organ, as opposed to vaccum tube, or pipe organs, which tend to be way larger.

[@jeffjazzwraight]

Many thanks again! J

[@mortensteen]

What a fantastic upload! My favorite Miles concert of all time. Everything is just magic here, and it's so great to hear the complete performance, running about 7 minutes longer than the edited version I've heard. A small note, though - there seems to be a "hiccup" at 10:14. This doesn't occur on the edited version. Other than that, absolutely stellar stuff! Thanks!

[@MilestonesArchive]

Hm, yes, that's odd. It is present in the 2021 rebroadcast version, not sure why. Thanks for the positive comments though!

[@tigers050929]

Thanks!😄

[@paulklein6337]

I don't care how creative this is, I am so glad Miles disbanded this line-up and had Lucas, Cosey, Liebman et al by 1973.

[@erikheddergott5514]

I am a twin Guitar Freak, but this Concert is extraordinarily good. I was given a Cassette of the Broadcast back in the 90ties and I felt delighted. See, you have been given the Twin Guitars by Miles, so why having quarrels with hearing this?

[@theodekker7688]

Geweldig! Mikes = de shit!

[@theodekker7688]

Bedoel natuurlijk MILES!

JD is drumming on the "What I Say" two volumes, but it looks like LC took over the drum chair?

[@MilestonesArchive]

Jack is on the Fillmore West material on Volume 2, but the rest of it is Ndugu.

[@Notjustmovies296]

Any chance you might make this available as an audio download? This sounds absolutely incredible

[@MilestonesArchive]

Not something I plan to do at the moment, I'm afraid. Apologies.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Can't you just use a 'grabber'?

[@bmuhamad]

I've read and heard stories of and by Mtume, himself, didn't like Conga players. Even though, he played Congas himself. Had it not been for Don Alias, in my opinion, the band would not have been cohesive, as it was...

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Superb audio quality! Is this concert "What I Say Vol. 2", please?

[@MilestonesArchive]

No, that CD had the second part of the Vienna gig, which can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noG7o6aGf9-jaaM, alomg with half an hour of a Fillmore West gig, which is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3ush4xth8x3bKs in better sound.

Manchmal stimmt die Chemie einfach...nicht immer

[@rainerberneth437]

Can't understand why this should be so good regarding the sound. Why would Miles have 2 Percussionists, if you can hardly hear them? Also the drum sound is out of balance, floor tom to loud. There is a video which is far better in every way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGGseIlmiKxnq7M

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Good to hear, but it’s too bad the drum set wasn’t miked better.
