[@alcraig1]

Jay Oliver deserves more airtime and credit.

[@slimyelow]

There is no man on this earth cooler than Dave Weckl.

[@PinoBenattiMusicDrums158]

The king of the drums Dave Weckl 👏👏🤗🤗🤗👍🙏

[@slimyelow]

if all humans were to play music like this every day, what a great world it would be.

[@BassMecca312]

Say it again Slim 📝🔒

[@tapiomakelainen]

Just amazing! I’m a Buzz fan since Fullmoon from early 70’s. It was 10-15 years ahead of it’s time.

[@sickandtiredofcomplaining6574]

Makes me cry..I bought his drumming shoes back in the early 90’s as a kid when you think that equipment will make you play better lol.. his music is such a huge part of my life ..thank you Mr Weckl

[@abysssss]

i bought his bass drum mute back then for the same reason haha

[@sickandtiredofcomplaining6574]

Ups your skill level by at least 47% 😂

[@robertboyle1368]

Boy is that honest or what???

[@happycreations4736]

scam? 😂

[@perrysar5954]

That Yamaha bass sounds fantastic!

[@TheEverlong12]

I will forever love Dave's Zildjian cymbals back then. They were the best

[@gazbuck73]

Looks like he still using the Zildjian 20" K Custom Ride?

[@joethebar1]

It seems like Danny Carey is the flavour of the week on drums. I think Dave is the greatest drummer on earth. He moves me where the others don’t

[@slimyelow]

long live D.Weckl !!

[@slimyelow]

that quiet / busy part rocks my balls every time!!

[@estevao_mg]

Perfection does not exis...😮

[@slimyelow]

When Corona is over, I will go to a DW concert and jump on stage. I will give this man the greatest hug ever.

[@fidelty2427]

The psychopaths have said that covid will never be over unless everyone is injected with the highly experimental jabs. Human beings have survived so many diseases we don't even know of in history, yet Mr. Psychopath Bill Gates said so about covid.

[@billcompeau4835]

@@fidelty2427 Agenda' abound sadly...

[@miles-178]

brilliant, his best band and period

[@miles-178]

buzz feiten is brilliant guitar player, needs to be more famous

[@coreybondurant]

miles 178 Agreed! Miss Buzz Feiten in later releases. (However, the new Akoustic Band CD is amazing.....)

[@funklover24]

Totally agree, DW Acoustic Band is phantastic :)

[@thomaslejon]

Rythm of the soul and synergy my favorite weckl album ! Thanks !

[@vonzox]

Masterplan and Heads Up! Also great :-D

[@slimyelow]

watch the movements, the facial expressions of these guys...they convey funkjoy on every level

[@paradust]

Went to a Mike Stern concert, feat. Dave Weckl (Band on the Wall, Manchester, few years back). Overheard a 70 year old guy next to me saying to his friend "I just want to see Dave and maybe learn a thing or two".

[@BassMecca312]

Priceless in my opinion to hear that..

[@slimyelow]

I looooove that sax player!!!!!

[@canuck1026]

This by far was the best Dave Weckl Band. The sound and general feel has just vanished since Buzz, Brandon, Jay aren't together with Tom and Dave...killer band!...Fan since the early '90's

[@funklover24]

Best Dave Weckl Band? Difficiult ... to me the "Dave Weckl Acoustic Band" is the best project he did. But that's up to everybody ... ;) The album is phantastic!

[@patjean8038]

canuck1026 organic flow, natural and more vital! A consequence of Gruber teaching. Sad the band had disapear after

[@KFORfervincent]

From ... 02:59 ... to ... 03:50 ...... Excellent performance!

[@alcraig1]

Jay Oliver is God

[@SuperHighGloss]

19 yrs old I WAS THERE! first time montreux, first catch then weckl. drummers heaven, awesome!

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

The boys kicking it with the real deal. OH YA!!!

[@funklover24]

Phantastic musicians, great band.

[@heiwatozenryosa]

A legendary song by Dave ! From (my opinion) his best album ever!

[@enricolongo242]

Best jazz-rock band on the Earth!

[@gleysonnunesdeoliveira5733]

Pedrada!!!

[@itemps]

Energy was high that night woo!

[@slimyelow]

this is how precise it sounds on studio master recordings, first take...

[@petersperspective6122]

To be honest, better!

[@GaspersStuff]

Nice TRB sound, great player Tom Kennedy...all of them

[@juliya2465]

Aaaaaah!!! How beautiful !!! Wonderful musicians !

[@Felixonfire]

Paaaaaala ya muy bravos ya … bravasos !!

[@grillosaint]

Awesome bass deepness, straight from hell!

[@dornelli1]

the best drummer that ever was

[@jeffporcaro3508]

Oh !!! Je me souviens ... j'y étais ... super souvenir à part le son un peu fort en façade ... juste après Trilok et Manu c'était juste trop fort ... mais très bon ...

[@pietrozaffutomusic]

Tom Kennedy the best!

[@jakobole]

Looks like a school-teacher at the wrong party, but totally owns it. Saw them live in Copenhagen in 2002 - fucking great!

[@dw5000jf]

Love the drum fills 1:39 and 5:52

[@carlfrancis4704]

5:52 does it for

[@fryderyk2462]

Tom Kennedy is from the outer world!!!!!

[@toohsas]

Oh so lovely.

[@porcaro4ever]

That snare!! SPLOOSH!!

[@gama1712]

fantasticccc !!

[@lucasmello7567]

amazinggggg!!!

[@drewper73]

I was wondering if Tower '99 was going to sound anything like Tower of Inspiration from Weckl's first solo album. Sure enough, it did. I loved the slower tempo. I really loved the change in tempo! Thanks for posting this!

[@poloctr]

...tremendo!!!

[@steveburchfield5576]

REALLY GREAT MUSIC!!!

[@steffenbrixserup3323]

AMAZING MUSIC! :)

[@taeldias5982]

Increible sound 🥁🎸🔥

[@JeremySmith-sx9oe]

Dave weckl is a good drummer.

[@stratoinitial]

Magnifique ....!!!!

[@tomgiles1484]

It's a bit strange, but cool, to hear this tune at a slower tempo in the beginning. I'm used to hearing the much faster tempo they play it starting at 2:05, as it's the tempo that Weckl played it at on his instructional tape. It's a crime that bassist Tom Kennedy isn't more well-known. He's a monster player (just as his brother Ray was on piano). Killer bass solo starts at 2:59.

[@hombrepollo]

in the Synergy lp this is the actual structure of the song,

[@DUALMOTION]

Bass player's face looks a bit like Han Solo from Star Wars. lol

[@jakemf1]

Tom Giles I thought the same thing it’s to slow-lol

[@gumbly]

The original 1990 recording of this song was called Tower of Inspiration, but this version is called Tower '99 which is a different arrangement. One of the differences was the half time intro. which moves into the faster tempo at 2:05

[@funklover24]

Yeah, Tom Kennedy is a monster-player! Still touring a lot with Mike Stern and Dave Weckl, also with Dave Weckl Acoustic Band in 2015. I hope Dave soon will do his next own project because that's the real stuff.

[@fernandososa5162]

Que banda x Dios

[@bestdrummer4607]

nice playing.

[@davidcipriani]

wowww.. fantasticooo

[@konstantinosparioritsas-3798]

[@franciscojavier980]

AMAZING MR. WECKL... Tasty as a fuck as usual...

[@Aadddrriiaann]

02:03 Tom Kennedy demuestra que es un ser humano jaj.

[@slimyelow]

God invented the drums just for Dave.

[@BassMecca312]

King 👑 David

[@slimyelow]

I will have a drum room again. I will get to have fun again with my kit.

[@transactor77]

listen carefully the bass after sax lyrics and drum fill in at 2:03. It starts out of tonality!!

[@lashashapira3406]

what a groove

[@jazzjazznjazz]

is that one clean organ solo or what !!

[@Lekter]

Brandon has got some serious sideburns

[@slimyelow]

Yaaahhhhhhh !!!!!!

[@sebastiaorobertodecarvalho7507]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Terrezio]

This sounds great but it does sorta make me think that this is what the original would sound like if it was drunk hahaha OH WAIT.... it's back to normal haha that's sick

[@intraterrestrial5035]

Haha yea they definitely relaxed the tempo a bit in the first part, it brought a little extra groove out of the band... Loved it

[@mattiadicarlo5573]

[@woody95124]

cool...like brecker bros music...same harmonies .....

[@Smittyschannel]

Holy crap- went to see the Rippingtons 2 years ago, & this sax player was their current sax player that night! Weird.....

[@maxdoubt5219]

Funkin' A!

[@slimyelow]

every fucking 16th note has its place precisely at tempo and in between all the others

[@andymayneguitartuition922]

Unless your a complete freak show monster like these guys......

[@mrlucadimatteo8412]

yeeeee

[@RobertVandenberg]

Does anyone know why Brandon Fields left the band?

[@slimyelow]

these musicians eat 16th notes for breakfast

[@MrDrummerguy33]

Fkn aye, man

[@moisesbatista3534]

Messi da bateria

[@petersperspective6122]

I’d say Messi is the Dave Weckl of football!

[@normannsvetlee]

wish I could see Tom's hands at 6:12

[@robertocarlosaranda3287]

Wuou

[@PenguinMcDuck]

What is the time signature of the first bar of the A section? The one that starts after the intro? It's at 0:38, and then in-between 1:18 and 1:19. I keep counting in 4/4 and never get it right.

[@PenguinMcDuck]

Never mind, I finally got it. It's still 4/4, but Dave displaced the first snare drum beat in the bar and that threw me off.

[@hanssolo3215]

wheres the drum solo??

[@getlikeus1247]

how many hours of practice a day i wonder?

[@carlospinedadelgado89]

At least 10

[@funklover24]

Twenty-five! :D

[@slimyelow]

I sure hope those instruments are 18 or older.

[@user-vn3sh1vg4o]

1:40

[@funklover24]

Song might be renamed into "Power 100". 🤣

[@slimyelow]

dead notes are alive !!

[@wjdfhr57]

2:04

[@BLULUS]

Who is the keyboard player？

[@funklover24]

Jay Oliver. Outstanding musician! ;)

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

I am a pro drummer looking for players that can play this stuff. All these people talking, but nobody contacting. ARE YOU OUT THERE ????????????

[@gfaegenburg]

Where you at/ I can handle some of this stuff. Dave and Jay are pretty much all I listen to anymore. I hear something new I never heard before, each time I listen to one of their songs. [e-mail] and I live in the burbs of Chicago...

[@DNixon845]

William st john Posting on Weckl youtube is a terrible start. Well done.

[@taunokekkonen5733]

People who can play stuff aren't on youtube reading comments...

[@rogerbatera90]
