So many kickin’ tunes when it comes to Steps, but if I had to choose one, this song would be it. Any version, the live ones on KZbin, Mike Manieri’s Wanderlust, Montreux Live, Smokin’ In The Pit. Also in my memory, hearing this live at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, same group except with a new piano player at the time, Elaine Elias.

Nice group. Best period of Steps. I really miss Mike Brecker.

"Smokin' In The Pit" marks the best period of Steps, later Steps Ahead in my ears.

One of the most beautiful melodies I ever heard from that master called Mike Mainieri. Thanks for sharing.

Top Shelf !! The composition, mood, and attention these cats give this song evokes so many of the things I loved about music from this period. Great post and one for the vault. Thanks mobius-2

Et dire qu'à l'époque très peu de gens y croyait. Perso, je pense que c'est un si ce n'est pas le meilleur du festival de Montreux et la même année celui de Vienne. C(est trop génial.

Des festivals comme cela, je doute que l'on puisse faire autant. Je ne crois pas. Mike Mainieri, Steve Gadd, Michael Jackson, oups je me suis trompé, les Brecker brothers, Warren Bernhardt, Earl Klugh, Richard Tee, Eric Gale, ... Cette année était vraiment féconde et je soute que cela puisse se renouveler. Ciao
