[@Convisis]

Kirk Covington is the most criminally unsung drummer of the 90s. Literally had a jazz fusion style all of his own, sounds like he has 3 arms.

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

John Bonham would probably think Kirk was the best drummer he ever heard if John was alive today.

[@barryberko]

100% true. And don’t forget he’s an amazing pianist and singer too!

[@winstonsmith8240]

​@@WrestlingErnestHemingway to me he sounds like John Bonham with jazz chops.

[@asor8037]

Is he unsung? Everything on youtube is "underrated" nowadays. Isn't Tribal Tech which he is a part of one of the most renowned fusion acts?

[@Convisis]

@@asor8037 I didn’t write ‘underrated’ just to do some KZbin thing. Ask yourself what his exposure was like in drumming magazines during the 90s - almost non-existent. KC is so far from being a well documented and renowned drummer in the general drumming consciousness it’s tragic given how good he is. Happy for you to disagree though.

[@arianluna4548]

I wish scott stuck to this tone . This is the one i love. His tone now is different but still plays amazing fusion guitar. Thank you for sharing this video . Bless you.

[@SpaceTimeSynth]

I'm so glad this performance is being shared!!

[@michaelb.42112]

Gary Willis and the boys are such. monster players.

[@MrDaveaccord]

What a band. Most underrated fusion band in the history of music.

[@bazinga1563]

Possibly....underrated....but damn well respected and appreciated !

[@Mwgsyboy]

Not underrated by me. Best live band I ever saw.

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

The Led Zeppelin of jazz rock fusion bands. The Ultimate fusion band of all time!

[@mejsjalv]

That's the challenge of this type of music. As amazing as it is, It's not so easy to listen to. Kind of like listening to a lecture by a scientist. But among musicians, especially those into fusion, this is like "calculus". It gets better and better once you're starting to understand a bit of what's going on. You do get that they are quite a bit of mad scientists. They are not "underrated", but just not popular in the mainstream. But musicians generally are aware of these guys.

[@asor8037]

Quit this "underrated" bs. They are one of the most renowned fusion acts, come on

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

I watch this at least twice a month now. Epic performance.

[@-Atmos1]

It certainly has everything to make the Blues disappear

[@BrianLottermann]

Kirk Covington is criminally underrated

[@Mwgsyboy]

Sings pretty good too!

[@BrianLottermann]

@@Mwgsyboy Thanks for the comment, just rewatched this. Good lord this whole performance is so crazy :O

[@ukasz-bd2yc]

True!

[@roopemakela2984]

Each guy is a phenomena. Tribal tech was such a mad collaboration

[@Caravaggio44]

Agreed - truly one of the best "fusion" groups ever!

[@nopalitosms]

One of the best jazz fusion bands ever...4 monsters in a frenzy madness

[@AmatriceBand]

This bands sound was on the edge of genius and insanity. No one after them managed to get to this level. Good for those who saw them live

[@theswill729]

My brother found this and showed it to me a few years ago. I still use it as a litmus test to this day. Just Kirk Covington alone is all the entertainment I need. DM me to lol about this ❤.

[@AnalogOpher]

Henderson is the ultimate fusion guitarist. The only one who is TOTALLY fluent in jazz, rock and blues. Not another jazz dude with an overdrive pedal. He truely LOVES all these generes.

[@homunculouis]

[@frankclarke3689]

[@KickflipGnasty]

Larry Coryell meets that description. So does Di Meola. People forget that he didn’t used to be all Latin all the time. In early RTF he did a lot of different shit 😎

[@mongooseavilacosta9359]

Sorry guys but no one like Scott, of course respecting all the other monsters for sure, but this guy is just...fearless!

[@Gregorypeckory]

@@mongooseavilacosta9359 All the players mentioned are completely unique and absolutely brilliant musicians. Yes Scott is awesome and fearless as are all the above. No need to try to convince everyone who the "greatest" is, because we all know it was Holdsworth, but we love the others too! I hope that clears things up for anyone who was confused about it. You're welcome 🤗

[@dayuhanspace]

Scott Henderson's phrasing is amazing!

[@ronaldgenendlis6423]

Definitely holdsworth style.

[@hugh.munguzs]

One of the best to ever do it. And had his own unique style

[@zarkozivkovic7954]

Genius Scott !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sheercerebralpower]

Saw them live in a club in my hometown some years ago....great night that was.....

[@charleskerins5900]

Hands down my favorite Tribal Tech lineup

[@Rialas]

Omg that drummer.

[@plummetplum]

Kirk is a force of nature.

[@pedroleal7118]

Kirk is one of my favorite drummers ever!

[@davidgrout1056]

Run, do not walk, if you get the opportunity to see Kirk Covington (drummer) live.

[@andy-b]

Amazing! One of the best fusion bands ever...

[@winstonsmith8240]

Sadly I can only like this once. The most underrated fusion band ever. Imo. ❤

[@jerryboone1093]

Yeah, Kirk Covington. Ridiculously underrated by those who wouldn't know a great Percussionist from an apple.

[@fierybones]

Just phenomenal. TT blows my mind every time I listen to them. It would be hard to pack a stage with more musicianship than these four masters!

[@uueuewoeie]

Tribal Tech and Scott BEST EVER JAzz Fusion Band and musicians ! Love you Scott !!!!!

[@xaviergostanian6398]

une virtuosité qui vaut de l'or !

[@guitarttimman]

These guys are all the most amazing musicians I've ever seen. Not just individually, but also in the way they come together as a band. Scott is untouchable here. That's also true for the rest of them too! It's amazing how they realize what music is all about and how to keep it interesting!

[@CamiloVelandia]

Love the transition between the smooth jazz intro song of the show and the beginning of The Big Wave.... Epic

[@aaronlebos]

lolol

[@bobbyrevell]

Fuckin killer. Scott going off into beck-Holdsworth heaven. As good as anyone could ever be.

[@bergvicio-jornadablackmetal]

Não tem como, não tem nada superior a isso, isso é além dos limites.

[@davidriggs8196]

Thank goodness beauty is in the ear of the beholder. Playing of great complexity and feeling.......Ah who can take up their torch?

[@erwinvanheumen7598]

All four unbeaten! Each concert I went to was really outstanding!

[@OrrDidi]

Gary Willis is truly a beast. I wonder if he's the world's fastest bass player for long runs. And also so dynamic and expressive. Wow.

[@Pladderkasse]

Absolutley the best single line improv player I ever heard on bass.

[@kyrysnik5983]

This band sound like if one Guy plays on every instrument at the same time. Incredible interplay.

[@TALAVERADF]

top band of all time,they are so amazing!!!!!

[@rallypassionbrasil2758]

Scott Henderson the best!

[@Ascending1more]

One of the greatest fusion bands to come out of the mid 80's and still to this day killing it!!!!

[@trapkat8213]

Wow, what a drummer Kirk Covington is. I have heard him on records but I didn't know he was so charismatic on stage.

[@juancarlos-dx1or]

This band set new horizons for jazz fusion, this stuff still sounds fresh today , other artists of the genre didn't get so lucky and their music sounds a bit dated today, anyway,mind blowing performance!

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

I thank Eddie Van Halen (RIP) for turning me onto Tribal Tech. Eddie's quote on this album was that Henderson was the best guitarist he ever heard in his life.

[@erenanidem3479]

never get enough from dat big wave drum solo

[@adrianomondini8795]

ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC !!!!!!!

[@tubytele]

So cool to hear everyone’s reaction to this band. Real musician ‘s !!!

[@incredible916]

Amazing music I love it.

[@JohnBaptist-o2f]

One of my favorite live fusion concerts of all time. Who would have thought Israel in 95 of all places would host the mighty TT... was this a live broadcast? If someone could share how this came about it would be much appreciated.

[@soloquierosignearme]

Thanks for upload. I’ve watched this show so many times years ago. I like the fact they love and play blues music even being a fusion band. Out from this world.

[@michaelpaulos420]

My favorite band ever!!!

These masters are not humans..... I can't belive what i hear. Wow it's really amazing!!!!

[@aguilas10102020]

Kirk is a force of nature. Great band all around obviously. That first bass solo, jesus! Love it :)

[@Marazmology]

6:50 - Kirk's emotional explosion = 2 sticks per minute )) Saw them live in '98 - one of the best shows I've seen. Tribal Tech - get back on stage!

[@martinklabus]

I just love Crawling Horror. Such intricate arrangement and buildup with stunning solos.

[@dave.mac.40]

[@salinasbeat]

Amazing!!

[@Beholderz]

The first track gets me every time.

[@richardreyes5126]

These guys are the baddest period.

[@MrMillsfrank]

These guys are so incredibly in touch with each other while playing, its almost mind blowing to witness. Kirks body language during half time accents and all the tricky licks he wants you to be aware of is absolutely mind fucking blowing. His drumming is of the fucking chain.

[@Fischer977]

so clean, so accurate, he is got a lot of soul not just speed and tricks

[@marcelovidal9246]

Kirk is my earliest favourite drummer and no one else's okay? Right!😊

Cool to finally see this live! Thanks for posting.

[@imoyal]

¡Estuve en este concierto, fue increible!

[@maryarriaga4745]

gran aporte musical

[@MrMillsfrank]

For me this is the window when Kirk Covington was really on fire behind these dudes. Seen them and met Kirk in Portland Oregon in late 90's. Kirk was candid with me in our first conversation that he is the only drummer that really counts in the bands history. Some other drummer who I forgot his name, Russ something did an album with them that Kirk didn't seem to impressed with. Kirk was an amazing drummer to see and talk to.

[@knox.gunterstallbauer6877]

beautiful music - thank you

[@ntesslafan]

Thank you for the post. This music is classic!

[@sebbo1496]

is it me or does the way youtube processed this video, making the whole picture follow the body movements of the musicians, add to the experience? i can SEE the swing haha i love this concert so much. this is all i want from music. i could do without the blues songs but they are nice and grooving hard too

[@aaronlebos]

Best fusion group of all time, not even close

[@jotacea5838]

Estos tipos son demasiado !! Osea,se juntan , tocan y hacen pebre !!

[@marcomannoni6389]

amazing !!!!!!!

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

I was hooked on Tribal tech from the first time I played the "Face First" album. I have all of their albums! I love Scott Henderson's playing, Kirk on the drums and Gary Willis is one badass bassist.

[@stratoleft]

I've never hear anybody like Scott Henderson in the history of music. I don't care what instrument you play.

[@leemccullough131]

I have never heard anyone sound and feel authentically Hendrixy in their blues lines,without trying to sound like Hendrix SOULFUL!

[@bardoface]

Alan Holdsworth is even better. Scott would admit it too.

[@stratoleft]

@@bardoface Better at what you ignorant dimwit? You're talkin' about completely different styles of guitar. Scott Henderson has a one-of-a-kind approach to the instrument. There's no relation whatsoever. What's worse that somebody that knows absolutely NOTHING about music, is ignorant dumbazz/s, such as yourself, who think they know about guitar, let alone music in general.

[@rlm4471]

​​@@bardofaceDifferent, yes, but better is a matter of taste.

[@bardoface]

@@rlm4471 let’s put it this way. Scott looked up to him and even asked Alan over to help him with his tone. His tone and style is obviously influenced massively by Holdsworth.

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Sounds great! Unique band with super players

[@jameyscott4188]

Most talented, worst dressed. :D

[@ultragukuss1325]

It's the 90's everybody was dressed like that hahaha

[@Heffsta02]

they were going for that maths teacher vibe

[@fred8097]

I think you’re forgetting the Gambale years of the chick corea elektric band...

[@Oneness100]

Yeah, stage presense has never really been a trait of fusion players. A couple of them were fairly animated and dressed well. These guys look like they have no clean clothes and they are just music bums into playing but not the entertainment factor.. :-)

[@Oneness100]

Yeah Scott H has a reputation of not exactly being the cleanest.

[@muxant_academy]

Good Old Days.

[@gattifabrice8578]

THAT S MUSIC. THE LAST GROUP OF THE JAZZ FUSION PERIOD. GARY AND SCOTT SO GREAT DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT MY CRAZY KIRK. Just an amazing concert.

Thx, fascinating stuff!

[@drewpattinson6158]

Thanks for uploading the full concert. I've been waiting a long time for someone to do so.

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

This clip alone shows this was the best band since Led Zeppelin. Thus earning Tribal Tech the title of being the Led Zeppelin of fusion music. I got Eddie Van Halen to thank (RIP) for having a sticker on a Tribal Tech album CD where Eddie said Scott Henderson was the best guitarist he ever heard. That sticker on the CD sold me into buying that CD and getting into Tribal Tech. I was huge into Larry Carlton and he sadly got out of fusion and started doing boring mainstream mellow jazz, so I was super glad when I discovered Tribal Tech who took Carlton's style & material to a way higher level of fusion music.
