Tribal Tech - Actual Proof (audio and video in sync)

Saw this on someone else's channel - thanks whoever you are.
I synced the audio and video, but video my have deteriorated slightly in the process.

[@dudeymcduderson]

I saw them live a few years back and I couldn't take my eyes of Kirk Covington. His expressions whilst hitting them drums is something else!

[@rookiem8]

Dudes got a killer voice too I really enjoy watching him rip.. freaking awesome

[@markrobinson8410]

Love when Scott played Ibanez guitars.

[@jeanmiropica]

It is actually not an ibanez, but a custom made strat made by a luthier in L.A.! :) i also love this period of Scotts playing, lots of gold here!

[@ocean4315]

You can hear that Gary and the guys are into dynamics. Gary mentions this a lot when talking how loud and soft he plays with certain songs. It really give some drive and emotion to the music. It's something that I forget somewhere along the way, but have to remember to play crescendos, accents, markings for loud and soft etc.

[@Ascending1more]

One of the greatest unknown bands of all time! These guys are all masters of their instruments and just on another level of caliber of musican period.

[@king-manu2758]

Unknown only to the profane masses

[@michaelb.42112]

So true !!!

[@chadrew6]

Unknown? These guys are widely known and respected throughout the world of music. I don’t know where you’ve been hiding, but they are far from unknown.

[@boberbober5150]

I have this exact whole concert (from Ljubljana, Slovenia) on VHS. In my humble opinion, one of best TT concert I've heard so far, even the interview is...funny. If Ill manage to get it digitalized, I'll upload it...

[@adburger]

I'll be waiting!

[@AmagrasMUSIC]

Pleease >_

[@AleksandarBuzadzic]

Hi Bober. I have all concert as AVI files, but I had to remove it due to Scott's copyright issues... Funny that your video is still online, but nevermind, better for us :) Cheers.

[@AleksandarBuzadzic]

Aleksandar Buzadzic ... yes, pitch is dropped somehere 1/4 step down on this video... but it's OK

[@ManelRuivo]

PLEASE UPLOAD IT! im begging you. T_T

[@swamisMotelBand1]

I have to admire any drummer that attempts Mike Clark's masterpiece

[@plummetplum]

I found this, fell in love with Kirk who introduced me to Scott and the rest of these awesome musicians. This is my go to favourite music, every note Scott plays is part of the picture, brilliant.

[@MJ98774]

Thanks for reposting this. Love TT and Herbie and this is an epic tune by an epic band. Kinsey is badass and everybody else is at the top of their form in true TT fashion.

[@davideastlee9983]

this is amazing and soulful playing by any measure

[@doce7606]

This vid IS actual proof that Herbie's buddhist chanting worked, and by vibe power alone a bunch of itinerant teens from the white'burbs end up in San Fernando with just the right equipment and a mysterious desire to start a power-fusion 4-tet informed by the hippest black artists as well as Lee, Lifeson, and Peart. This tune is not easy, as anyone who has listened for Mike Clark's 'one' in Herbie's original on the salmon album (with Herbie among the purple clouds in a flying pod.. !) will know. While they don't quite nail the lost-in-space 3/4 and 5/4 bars Herbie i think writes in for the turnaround, so the tune is a bit 4/4, it is still a major achievement to keep this one going at tempo, which only slightly drops. A win for humanity and all subsequent GIT students, lol. Thanks for posting.

[@humanbn1057]

That drummer is having the time of this life!

[@mackjigger6030]

He's a boss

[@dougtube2006]

I think he looks that way anytime he’s playing

[@meeamee]

only musicians of this caliber can take one of the best fusion classics and make it their own. willis & henderson are my goats

[@porkbelly0713]

thanks Steve. I really don't care much about the video if I can listen to Scott, this is great

[@streetfunk8692]

Fantastic,WOW! Garri's 3 finger style is just awesome! I use his technic all the time,ever since I saw his video school)

[@romaneberle]

holy fuck, i haven't been listening to scott henderson and tribal tech for some time, but DAMN THEY'RE SOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!!! :-D fantastic

[@wilsonraucci4293]

Great solo by Scott Henderson! And Scott Kinsey! 👌👏

[@PapaDudeness]

@sydrnyc This is Henderson's signature model from Ibanez... He used to play with it until mid 90's.

[@tonelocrian]

His greatest tone : 86-93 ;)

[@farblosaludiert]

Thank you Sir for this "New & Improved" cookin' video performance. Tribal Tech is a great band akin to a cat that always lands on its feet. Amazing faculties.

[@pectenmaximus231]

Thanks, H. Hanckok...

[@xanblacq]

LOL

[@MrFg1980]

Whoa! Holy Sh*t ! Great version of Actual Proof. Blown away.

[@Check-it-out]

Scott in his prime. Still his best sound-period !

[@Sandemose]

This drummer is at the right gig.

[@56chevy_bw91]

Utterly Amazing. Jeff Beck meets Frank Zappa meets Aquarium Rescue Unit meets Pat Metheny meets Jaco Pastorius. Absolutely Awesome.

[@brandoninu7140]

pat metheny actually met jaco pastorius lol

[@bowserh2012345]

Jaco is on Metheny's first album.

[@irena7777777]

Meets Jimmy Corkhill

[@stefaniadelosrios2329]

Quién toca tan apretado cómo Kirk? No sé si hay algunos. Es fantástico! Único.

[@markgilbert3902]

This needs to be issued on official DVD - someone tell Slovenian TV

[@ocean4315]

What a great band sounds like when they're "cookin'". Never get tired of listening to this.

[@bradpittbull1290]

the drummer is awsome !!!!!

[@avgolemenu]

Yes...this is a Herbie Hancock tune! It's called "Actual Proof" from the album "THRUST".

[@patrickfrederick8453]

5:16 that idea turning into that lick got me feeling a certain way

[@chicali54]

despues de return to forever y weather report siguio esta banda echandole todavia mas ganasy en su tiempo no fue tan popular aunke se atrevieron a hacer otro nivel mucho mas avanzado TRIBAL TECH y punto

[@kozovoi1975]

Sick playing from Scott at 5:18

[@vintagerealityvr]

ak47 RIGHT!!!!

[@RobotChampionSC]

Thanks for posting this Steve!

[@ale07101973]

Giusto per condividere buona e sana musica ragazzi...!!!

[@croclogic1]

Excellent. It's a shame to hear multiple cracks, probably due to too high volume while recording.

[@CrandMackerel]

Kirk Covington is neither man nor beast...but a manimal.

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

CrandMackerel Whats he doing these days?

[@lucasyanez7660]

@@NelsonRiverosMusic he recently made an album with his band "Kirk and the Devil Horns"

[@Quintpeterson]

Friends and I call him the lumberjack

[@Passion535]

So frigin Impressive! But when he adds in Blues, it's up another notch!

[@Odiculeoj]

Damn SH is such a fine guitar player …!

[@estebanfreytes]

I need the version of ''canine'' from this concert.. its epic..

[@jamesdoy63]

Matteo mancuso can make a version for this

[@renedg8901]

i love tribal tech and herbie hancock. tx 4 uploading this great vid man. awesome rendition......

[@plummetplum]

Listening again, WOW xx

[@Mrius86]

This is so intense music that I have to take it in with coffee breaks.

[@boberbober5150]

All right, lol, I'll look into companies that offer vhs digitalizing in next few weeks, and hopefully post it here. It's an old vhs - the concert was held around 1997, 1998? So the tape is pretty old

[@poppaboppa6000]

...5 years later

[@IvorThomas]

Just killed it dead, dead, DEAD! Sooo badass!

[@horacew.morrisjr.940]

Herbie would be proud! The quality is a little fucked, but WHO CARES?

[@SrikanthIyerTheMariner]

If human beings were sized according to our talents .. then Scott Henderson would be Mount Everest and we would be size of little chihuahuas

[@basslobster]

Scott Kinsey on keys Murilo...

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

That's why Scott Henderson is one of my favorites...

[@xaviergostanian6398]

De super musiciens !

[@bobbycressey]

Do they do this down a half step or is that just the video quality?

[@steveboltonPG]

+Bobby Cressey Before I started the camera rolling I asked everybody to tune down half a step to my favourite key ;)

[@markgilbert3902]

Does Henderson still have that Ibanez? Should fetch more than Hendrix's Strat.

[@miles-178]

yes .... by henderson, kivington, kinsey, willis

[@kyrysnik5983]

7:17 my favorite drum fill

[@trevorlindsey580]

So tasty! Every bit as amazing as Herbie's version.

[@seri1897]

Tight like that!! One take baby!! Shit...

[@stefaniadelosrios2329]

Capitán Kirk en la batería! Único distinto!

[@michaelb.42112]

Damn, Tribal Tech playing Herbie !

[@anthonym612]

11 people spell his last name "Hanckok"

[@stefaniadelosrios2329]

Por más que hagan otras versiones de esta canción actualmente, creo que en la batería Kirk es inalcanzable.

[@UniversalSouls]

From whence did this came!?!?✨🔥✨🔥✨

[@Samsgarden]

Is there a hi-definition version of this around?

[@attuneu]

Genius

[@waldoval]

Nice..very good hancock track cover...

[@alexhill1042]

what is that neck pickup the bassist has? some sort of woofer?

[@iagocoimbra5236]

Alex Hill It's a ramp, look It up, you might find the man himself explaining it

[@ElrondHubbard_1]

Wow, this is from like nineteen eighty-infinity... Scott Henderson's hair. Wow. First there was the Band of Gypsies... then, there was the Band of Nerds!! Just kidding! I like it.

[@AmatriceBand]

After this herbie should have signed his rights to tribal tech

[@adburger]

Doesn't got much better than that.

[@CalvinLimuel]

[@korhansoydan]

[@physiciansassist1]

Holy fuck! I mean, everyone on this album is fucking rediculous.. huge musical vocabularies.........Scott just always kills it, lays the fucking hammer down...

[@martinslocombe2288]

Kirk Covingtons on fire

[@arosalesmusic]

His best sound was with that Ibanez

[@jamiecartwright5469]

Like early Yellow Jackets except Scott is a much more inventive player than Robben Ford imho. 🤷‍♂️

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BOYZ 🤣

[@marc2397]

I can do this…so great

[@nicholashnatyk4470]

TT has been a mixed bag fusion group for me. They play some great, almost majestic, complex sorta classic fusion tunes (my preference) mixed with a few oddball experimental tries, and even a few straight ahead electric jazz excursions. So, I'm not always thrilled by their selections, live or recorded. For me, the well chosen early LP compilation CD Primal Tracks & 95's Reality Check contain their best actual fusion tunes. Skip the rest of their albums, especially from 2000-on which were what I call Fuzak, or tuneless funky jaznoodling-jamming which went nowhere and failed to engage my ears, meh. Like many other longer term fusion groups, they either got bored, ran out of inspired melodic/thematic song structure ideas, or put their better work into solo/side projects.

[@matycee]

hair... no. no. no.

[@tacticaljackson]

As a white guy that had dreads for 15 years, what the hell was Scott thinking with that mop? He looked like a mostly shaved Komondor. With that said, Tribal Tech is the shiz.

[@mancini2468]

Love Kirks drumming...but don't like watching him...don't need the head moves...lol.

[@aloysiussnailchaser272]

Reminiscent of Wilko Johnson.

[@king-manu2758]

I wish herbie took SH as guitarist on his tours instead of that weird dude he has now who I don't know anyone who likes him

[@nathandeb4481]

If you speak about Lionel Loueke, he's to me a fabulous guitar player

one of the most borin music i ever hear ! before that awful band of canada ! uzeb ! stopit lol !
