If it's at 4:18, the chord progression is ||: F#m9, B7alt (#9, #5) | Em9, A7alt (b9, b13) | Dm9, G9, Dbsus9 (the tritone substitution of G) | CM7, F13 | (Then 1/2 tone lower) | Fm9, Bb13 | EbM9, Absus13 | Gsus13, G9 | CM7, F13 :|| It's all about finding the right voicings (ie. the comfy ones to play) and, of course, the II-V-I =)

[@a-maize-zing]

Skyleo damn that looks complicado

[@Skyleofr]

Lol, I made it complicated to read though! It definitely can be simplified, as it make it easier to read, shame on my 4years ago self. ;) First off, jazz musicians traditionally avoid to play the 5th of a chord (because it doesn't add much "colours"), so you can forget all those "omit 5" from my previous comment. Then, all the extensions (9, 11, 13) can be simplified by only writing "alt" next to the basic structure of the chords, people will find the right extensions by themselves... Having this in mind, the chord chart becomes: || F#m9 / B7alt | Em9 / A7alt | Dm9 / G7 | CM7 / F9 || Fm9 / Bb7alt | EbM9 / Absus13 (basically, a GbM7 on a Ab as a root) | Gsus13 / G9 | CM7 / F9 || The details about the exact extensions are in my other comment. It's all about finding the right voicings (ie. the most comfy to play) and, of course, the II-V-I.

I'm from Mexico, and videos or moments like this make feel happy and sad, because even if I was young in that era, I wouldn't see the show live, what a beautiful song, solo, and moment of the band, If I were there, at that moment, I would cry so hard of joy, I just want to have a job that fullfill me as hard as they felt in that moment, thank you so much KZbin for bring me here

I know nothing about music but this is such a fun moment. Love to see people enjoy whatever thing they're doing to make others happy.

[@Roy-K]

I love how much fun these guys are having with it - they’re playing jokes on one another, and laughing on stage, just as much as they are putting on an absolutely mind blowing performance for the audience

I know of some fucking great keyboard solos, but in this moment with that smile and those chord progressions... holy fuck I gotta agree

Cara acordar de manhã e colocar um som desses, levanta e anima o astral de qualquer um, não sei até hoje como vim parar aqui, mas sempre que lembro venho aqui curtir! Boa música é isso aí, sobrevive ao teste do tempo!

Gutarist and bassist "we also can dance too" Man, this song is too epic. The reff feels Relaxing and nostalgic.
