One of times favorite in music I’m still hurting 💙

My favorite band ever! God bless all of them!

I think it was 1983. I was at rock bottom. I'd been getting weaker and sicker for 8 months. No one could diagnose it. I didn't know what was happening, but it seemed I was slowly dying. Return to Forever was was playing at the Berkeley Community Theater and had a ticket. When I went to see Return to Forever, the effect it had was overpowering. I left actually feeling well--and happy, and I continued to get better. I recovered. I knew that the music was full of transformation energy. Return to Forever had brought something that had cured me, though I couldn't explain it. But now I understand what happened.

When you guys explained Chick Corea's energy and said "It was like he brought all the power in the universe through his hands, his whole being," that and what you said about the solos being "conversations" that could never be repeated. Return to Forever had an amazing conversation with me. Your concert was sublime, and it healed me. Chick Corea embodied Godliness. Rest well, Chick. I owe you everything.

Rest up the legend. Man, this live was star studded! Loves you guys in the Inside Out and Beneath the Mask Albums! Those albums have helped me out in a lot of dark times

Hey guys, you know you're a legend for more than one generation, don't you? Have you already realize that ? Thank you for everything you did and beautiful tribute to the master.

There was never an offical Chick Coreal Elektric band documentary (event though we desperately need one) but i cannot express enough the fun and joy i had watching this in it`s entirety...in a single breath. It was a dream come true watching you perform live in Skopje, Macedonia in July, 2017. Thank you Dave, John, Eric, Frank and of course The Maestro himself for all the music you`ve done individually and collectively and without which my life would have not been the same, let alone my playing...and by the way, Tale of the daring is 17 minutes long, not 10.:)

The Elektric Band is the best band ever! I will never forget the day I saw you guys perform live at the Free Jazz Festival in Campinas/São Paulo (Brazil 🇧🇷) back in September 4th, 1987 - it was phenomenal!!!

Chick, Dave, John and Scott Henderson. Thats was cool.

Much respect to you guys for sharing your journey with Chick Corea…
Beyond anything most of us musicians will ever experience….Fantastic..!

A melhor banda de todos os tempos 👏👏👏

Thank you for putting this together, Dave. This was very special to hear the history and stories. You guys are heroes for so many.

A Tribute from Masters...to a Master !...

Thank you, Dave, John, Frank and Eric, for doing this. You guys are awesome!

Chick Corea's Electrics Band was an incredible moment in music history, you could say.
All the records have that magical, almost Mozartian touch, which is part of his style, his signature.

But in my opinion, the first Album and "Inside out" are the strongest albums of this period of Chick.

Now, talking about Scott Henderson. Scott is an incredible guitarist, with a deep and unrepeatable style. And, with all that is said, the concept that Scott brought to the first Electric band, was never repeated again. His very peculiar improvisations make him for me a kind of Thelonious Monk of the electric guitar. I do not believe, with all due respect, that Frank Gambale, who is a great virtuoso, has brought the same conceptual and musical depth to the chick band as Scott Henderson.

For example, one of the great, magical, and unforgettable compositions of the first album is the track "Cool Weasel Boogie", a serialist and minimalist work that continuously repeats the same theme in a crescendo mode.Well, Scott's work on that track is fabulous, an outpouring of good taste and incomparable conceptualism. I never heard that magic again in the work of Chick, whom I consider one of my idols.

If you have any doubts about what I'm talking about, listen to the discographies of both guitarists and compare them.
Scott Henderson's compositions are timeless.
Frank Gambale's music, although I repeat, he is an incredible virtuoso, is pure rhetoric.


Dave and Chick's duet on Tale Of Daring (Inside Out) in an absolutely incredible moment on that record. But another moment of great ESP of improvisation between a drummer and a pianist can be heard in the song "Eshun Agwe" by Gonzalo Rubalcaba from the album "Antiguo".

"eye of the beholder" was My start in jazz. And still love that album. I also really love akoustic band. Chick Corea was next level 😊

Thank you guys for this sunshine ! God Bless you all !

80 years old. He lived a full life.

You are missed every day, every minute... incredible eternal maestro.

Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I've always been a massive CC fan and then of course the CCEB, and I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this video, but I love it so much, and it's such a great tribute to the man. Since I was 13 years old, I had all his recordings, I used to correspond with him... he would write back, too, and give very personable responses, being encouraging and informative, and I have ultimate respect for him and his creations. Creations that you guys made complete, and brought to fruition so wonderfully. Inspiring!! I can't tell you how much 'food' for creativity I got from the Elektic Band's output. The music was a total force all it's own and always devastated the landscape. Thank you guys! Thank you CHICK!!! You left a beautiful mark on the world.

you are never truly gone when youve left such an impactful legacy behind. our physical form decays but music echoes forever

This was fantastic. Thanks Dave and gents

Wow your music, Chick, Dave, Frank, John, Eric has shaped my world in so many profound ways as my constant soundtrack. You guys have pushed me to apply your philosophy in music that ended up me scoring music for Activision’s Transformers Fall of Cybertron & Madden (kind of a mish mash of orchestral, rock, epic hybrid which is totally not what you guys do) but I just wanted to thank you for always inspiring with your combined chops and musical abilities. I think you’re all amazing. Keep creating and shining. 🎉

I loved when I First saw All of You, along with Chick, Playing "99 Flavors" (Live). Chick takes You through the Chorus Once and then, takes completely Off with a Keyboard Solo that was Unreal?!

Gracias x tanto maestro !!!

Geniuses

These life stories are solid gold for us and the next generations

Thank you Dave he was such a GEM, we are all so fortunate to have so many of his performances to continue to delight in.

This is the 3rd time I’ve watched this video. I’m so appreciative. You four along with Chick have brought tremendous joy & inspiration to my life. RIP Maestro

Loved what Scott Henderson brought to the band and so little respect was given. I wonder why cause SH is a monster guitarist and his playing w Electric Band was essential to their early sound and success.

Eric saying he needed therapy to admit publicly he played in a Disney band is pure gold😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am so grateful that you could share all those precious moments you had with the great Chick Corea. I was really touched by the affection and gratitude you had towards Mr. Corea. You guys are beautiful !! With affection, Bernard...

Txs4 the reflections,means a lot to your audience! Frank is thunder from down under! H.S. teacher said listening is the hardest part!

Want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SO MANY GREAT AND PRICELESS MUSICAL MEMORIES/ EXPERIENCES!!! We love you all!!!

John, in enjoying you guys play for years on those Electric Band records and live performances, I've heard those bits of solos where Chick was comping along with your solo and then all of the sudden you guys played the same phrase and I figured that was really cool and you guy must have rehearsed that! So the fact that it was spontaneous just blows my mind! I remember buying Mad Hatter in our local head shop in Poughkeepsie NY why back when you used to by vinyl records in head shops! (Yes, way before the internet!). We've lost so many great musicians lately, but I really felt the passing of Chic probably the most! He just has always blown me away ever since I heard the Mad Hatter album. And I'm thankful we have all his great music recorded to keep his music alive forever! (And all those great videos of you guys playing together - Totally Awesome!)

Tale of Daring, what a track, he really streteched you guys with that, but you all made it sound so easy!!

Thanks for this. Enjoyed the stories.

Absolute monster musicians

The Dream Team !

🎼Thank you.🎹

Wow insane 4
Years already… feels like yesterday
