The Chick Corea Electric Band - ...illusions (1991)

[@aarongrooves]

This music changed my life when I first heard it in high school. What I wouldn't give to see this performance live. R.I.P. Chick!

[@michelegrassi4385]

Same! Even if i started to listen to fusion music after high school. At least i saw Eric Marienthal with a quartet near Rome. RIP Chick Corea

[@sukhmandeepbhatti6867]

That's nice 😌 me listening for 3years and love it

[@mohshsihd]

Seriously, Patitucci can only rock those purple scrubs cause he is so fvcking surgical in his approach to the bass. Straight baller.

[@Joel.Invictus]

Chick truly left a mark on the music world. He's loved and will be missed. Dave Weckl (on drums) is such a genius.

[@ALBundy73]

1991.... What a good year... Discovering the Electric live... I was 16 it changed my life

[@trizzledog]

Same here, and I was 17. 😎

[@roman_viral_riffs]

Me the same, I was 15 :)

[@ALBundy73]

I was so impressed , all the members of the band were signing autograph i regret not to meet them at that moment...they came in a small town in France it was the only show they gave

[@heydihodi]

SUPER band. Watched a concert in Copenhagen in the early nineties. Awesome and got autographs of every member! Now kept on a secure place - Lucky me :-)

[@marielamartinez2840]

L a perfección musical tiene nombre Chic Corea elektrk band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lorenzmuller3542]

love this tune and album. probably one of my all time faves

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Yup, still. :)

[@maixce]

A talent of Weckls rarely mentioned is his sense for orchestration. His choices of which drum and cymbal he plays related to the written music is at a very very high level. Its not just the rhythm and frasing. Wow!

[@craighaywood4830]

Simply the best....we're missing u so much already Chick ...rest easy my brother. Thanks for all the melodies & rhythms...over 90 l/p so blows my mind.

[@sseltrek1a2b]

absolutely stunning...some of the best players on the planet all in one band....wow...

[@simo7393]

woooowwww...just wow! My favourite CCEB track and it's LIVE! amazing! JP is a monster! the groove! the tightness...World Class all of them!

[@MetalKriz]

There is so much going on at all times, it´s just amazing, what a great song and musicians.

[@valberbrito6795]

Maravilha de show!🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

[@ICR68]

Absolutely awesome! Definitely the best period in the Elektric Band's history.

[@sukhmandeepbhatti6867]

See how beautiful it is music 🥰

[@happystance9able]

I find it absolutely cathartic starting at 8:01. Don't you love how Chick goes totally anthematic toward the end of a lot of his best Elektric band pieces? It's usually just before his codas--like the one that starts at 9:08 in this piece. I swear the leadup to the coda in this one nearly brings me to tears; it's so beautiful! So musical!

[@dsvelazquez]

I just love Chick's codas. I 800% agree.

[@marielamartinez2840]

Estos músicos dan cátedra cada uno en su instrumento !!!

[@ronosful]

Incredible!!!

[@johnpierrelamoutortiz6540]

Genios de la música muy adelanyados de época

[@curtisunit]

Between federation delegation trips to the neutral zone Frank always makes time to play music with friends. The chief medical officer who plays bass is something else! I’ve never heard weekend warriors sound this amazing in my life!

[@jorgeyaniero226]

from another planet!! Chick Corea, king of musicians..

[@OnAirRecords]

I listened to the first few years, I was a kid. I fell in love. I listened listen imagined wolves I worked I was a musician. years have passed. I'm still listening. still the same enthusiasm... thank you masters ...

[@gitaaa7740]

Damn I missed that tour. but I did see the Eye of the Beholder tour! same line up! It was awesome!

[@s3njibaz]

I first heard this when I was a Kid it drew tears then many years later and it still does, incredible talent, ridiculous mind!

[@andyculino]

Geniuses at work. Every time I watch I get more impressed. Thanks for posting

[@Sidecarmachine]

unfortunately i only started listening to Chick 3 years ago but this was my first impression and i honestly say it blew me away! this group of musicians just make my day everyday. Long live Chick corea, and being a guitarrist of course, Mr Gambale!

[@Freakguitar24]

They sound like a cd...Incredible

[@QTGbass]

WOW...what a truly epic performance of one of Elektric bands best.

[@Drummerpablo]

increible..!!! ... in- cre -i - ble!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martymarblo]

At 4:10 Weckl just goes insane with the fill. His timing is crazy. To have that kind of feel is incredible. Weckl is the best to me.

[@carlosmighty]

The bass playing is awesome...

[@fredbass77]

all the period are killing they express something of different each time but always amazing for me "inside out" is their best challenge the compositions mixe jazz/fusion and neo-classic music

[@3D-PHASE]

Thank you!!!

[@carlypina08]

Are you kiddin me, fabulous excecution, all one could aspire to be as a keyboardist. thank you fellas. shit!!!!

[@zaquelnunes6933]

os mercenários da música são monstros de mais a melhor banda instrumental que ja ouvi .

[@indiana1977]

Awesome! - I always loved this song from the cd and would listen to it over and over. Who cares if Dave's hair is completely out of control?

[@isairvasquez1678]

I love the bass...

[@endrightwinglunacy]

OMG yes! I love the final part of this composition too, especially on the record. All of the complex rhythms are brought to a satisfying conclusion with Gambale on guitar leading the way. Awesome stuff.

[@Lucausafuss]

i love them all but patitucci's purple jumpsuit & headbobbing kills me..nice!! so sick!!!

[@johanamarisolsotoquiroz896]

[@eseman13]

Chick Corea Elektric Band Live 1991 - Illusions

[@ChordNerd408]

My favorite chick song

[@freicon001]

more or less the same as the original WOW!!! they are incredible!!!!.. yeah!!! keep rocking or jazzing hahaha.. chick coreaaaaa, and the elektric band

[@capricornpisces3725]

amazing.

[@pajdof]

wow. nice purple tracksuit;] patitucci owns everyone, chick corea rules and just awesome performance.

[@davmaz]

Having followed these guys for the last 3 decades (at least Chick), this band is at the top of the list. Listen to this COMPOSITION -- ahh, they're not "improvising" here. Consider the many parts where they ALL play in unison. Most fusion bands would have a hard time playing any part of this. It's unparalleled. Nobody touches Chick!

[@BassMecca312]

Dave!!! You are 💯!! I agree with every word on this post! And to the ones that talk negative @#$! You're entitled to your opinion but to borrow from Dave, "the specific parts played by CCEB in unison and that sum fusion bands would be challenged to play this piece, and much less, gel like these 4 monsters..

[@7iDrummer]

amazing

[@eche1492]

the greatest of all time.

[@JordanGuitarist226]

so good

[@adalgisasquilachi]

yeah!!

[@gwricr]

Holy fucking shit. MASSIVE talent.

[@SuperGuitarman69]

@Moraito Thank you so much for posting this. Great taste in music and the quality is great

[@sukhmandeepbhatti6867]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 love you stars ❤️✨❤️✨❤️❤️✨❤️✨✨❤️❤️✨❤️

[@HRT--]

Heavy maestro

[@drumology2001]

Is Frank Gambale wearing a dress? Patitucci's "George Michael" facial stubble is awesome enough - I don't need more to be in awe of! Love these guys. ;)

[@jholyrock]

dynamics @6:18 though... respect!

[@joeldrummer81]

De otro mundo..!!!

[@johnson9535]

They all look soon young and fresh

[@6cuttingstrings]

R.I.P Maestro

[@josedemelojuniorjunior]

Masters..

[@MultiJohnk]

Good Song

[@Wetdreamdiver]

Funny, I listened to Chickall through the 70's by way of RTF while learning to play. Then I moved to L.A. in the mid-80's and later ended up dating a girl that Eric dated too...it's a small world when you move around a bit! We all get a little too complacent and tend to stagnate when we do. Cheers!

[@johnson9535]

John on bass. Love n

[@Hdin20]

Its like being channeled through them from somewhere else. The are the band of shiny demons!

[@santibanks]

@loginman4 No drumparts except the intro drumpart. But if you are serious about playing Weckl and have the chops to do that, then you also have the chops to LISTEN and figure out what he does.

[@NonfoX]

The sax at the beginning -> Eargasm =D

[@garymcaleer6112]

No lovelier sound ever graced the human ear.

[@schleske1]

Que alguien suba album completo de CHick Corea ELectric Band

[@michelegrassi4385]

From 6:42 till the end: wow !!!!!

[@manduker]

Elektric Band a good Akashic record!!

[@BrunoSirilo]

teletubies wizards of music

[@RAYRAYDAY]

Teletubbies only because of their clothing style. HAHAHA

[@andrezecheverry]

Yeah I'll send you the charts!

[@incredible916]

Amazing song sadly the beginning was cut out my favorite part. Dead crowd though no nodding

[@RockMacDonald23]

4:09 never picking up a pair of sticks again :(

[@santibanks]

@rotcehaz the whole piece is 3/4… I have the songbook. This song spans 18 pages!

[@santibanks]

@happystance9able YT only allows 10 minutes of video. With the intro it would be around 11/12 minutes or so…

[@andrezecheverry]

No, It's 3/4, I have all the "beneat the mask" sheets

[@Dahkkloudmusic]

Classic sticky tape job

[@loginman4]

@santibanks dude im 14 and my drum teacher says i have chops but i still lack listening knowledge. i barely figured out the intro 1 month ago

[@StoicaIonut93]

Frank is dressed like that guy from star wars

[@TheTimananda]

wish it was the entire song, but nice none the less

[@kelegba]

where can we find a DVD or Bluray, ???? c'est superbe !

[@BenKazenoff]

PATITUCI IS A BADASS

[@loginman4]

does anyone know where i can get the sheet music for this drum part its a must have!

[@charliehodgsonguitartutori4766]

Anyone else thinks it's really wrong to put adverts in the middle and just before the end of this?! If we have to watch adverts to watch what we love that's fine, just put them at the start please!

[@lfhs27]

Mel os podras pasar a mi tambien?

[@ICR68]

Where can I get the DVD of this? I've looked everywhere - don't you just love CCEB!

[@blessedboy2]

Ohhh

[@Drivethebeat]

OK 4:08 - 4:09 See what happens in a second..

[@dynoroad]

Damn I wish Eric would have played the alto on this song!

[@THeartBreakidd]
