HeadHunters Live 1976 @ Don Kirshner’s New Rock Concert - October 20th, 1976

Love you Herbie

Thanks to mr. Hancock, the intergalatic space musician, for creating these awesome notes.

The groove is otherworldly. If aliens showed up I'd just play Herbie and they be shaking ass! 🙏

Fantastic sound. We heard Herbie and crew on Thursday 6/22/2023 at the Palace in Waterbury, CT. He is 83 and jumped in the air with his guitar-synth to end Chameleon

Herbie Hancock, piano, keyboards; Benny Maupin, tenor saxophone; Paul Jackson, bass; Wah Wah Watson (Melvin Ragin), guitar; and James Gadsen, drums.

🤯🤯🤯

I could listen to this only for the rest of time.
This is so cool

Nobody grooves like that nowadays!

Wah Wah doesn't solo,he's adding colors and 'special effects ' to the music as well as the deep pocket rhythm guitar

The first track, “Gentle Thoughts” is one of the smoothest songs ever recorded. Thank you for all the amazing music along the way Herbie!

fantastic. commercials at the end even better.

Yeah,,,,yup

Can anyone else hear how "Lovely Day" was inspired by this?

This is a classic right here

Dear Algorithm: Please bring me more funky grooves like this

Wah Wah was a good friend. We used to play on each other's projects. Miss him.

Bennie Maupin uses the enigmatic Computone Lyricon I, insanely vibrant sound

最高！

Perfect match 👌🏼


P.S. A time code - a great help,.. by the way - thanks therefore !

P.P.S. The (of course censored;) joke guy and commercials sequence, actually the freaky but so cool :D smashed me so good !!!

Anyone know who the Drummer is on this performance? its not Mike Clark and i don't think its Harvey Mason because he wasn't with The Headhunters in 76'

Love this!

I saw Donald Byrd many years ago.....he brought up Herbie Hancock, he called him "The sophisticated fearless fly" that cracked me up and I'll never forget it.

Where can i get this version of Hang up your hang ups ?

one of the greatest basslines ever. So smooth and funky. Sophisticated.

I can't find the words to express the joy Herbie and the Headhunters give me. Jazz flutist Kent Jordan was my jr. high music teacher and we learned songs like "take the A train" and "I remember Clifford". Those songs planted the seed that became my love for jazz. The first song by Herbie I ever heard was "spiraling prism". I never knew the name of the song but I was obsessed with finding out who made it. One day as I was washing the first car I ever bought with my own money, (an '81 Cutlass supreme) it came on the local rnb station in their Sunday morning jazz show followed by "textures" and ending with "chameleon". I was never the same. I made it my mission in life to find everything he was on. If there is a mt. Rushmore of genius keyboardists, Herbie has to be on it ....

Cool jamz. WahWah crucial!
How about those commercials?!
(Humans are strange...)
