Aug 21, 2008 - yeah, that guy was complaining that miles only played with mediocre talent, john mclaughlin also played on bitches brew. around the corner also had a pretty sick lineup.

Aug 27, 2008 - I wonder how it would feel sitting in the grass with the sun beating down on my face, a head full of LSD and Miles Davis' band playing some of the coolest shit on the planet 75 yards away. Wow, I can't begin to imagine.

mloaks Says:

Sep 18, 2008 - Live Evil is the LP y'all want.

Sep 29, 2008 - Your definition of what jazz is is also not correct. What about bluegrass? There's clearly improvising going on there, but most don't call that jazz.I'd say the best bet is to avoid defining it altogether- give it the wiggle room to grow without controversy.

Nov 1, 2008 - @ boiledrootbeer:It was godawesome cold, the acid was bad, they were more into barbiturates, booze and smack, there were LOTS of scuffles, there were rumours about an oncoming terrorist assault, cops' dogs bit in your privates, the Angels were constantly kicking up fuss and the audience absolutely did not dig Davis (when he left he said "Go to heaven", not to say something else). After that Davis NEVER played a rock gig anymore. IoW 70 was a complete fiasco and they stopped after that.

Nov 24, 2008 - dude! in a silent way?!!!?? and also, to anyone who might know, who is on drums?

gioni Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - Yes.Jack DeJohnette that is..

middlebit Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - It's true that Miles named the whole performance "Call It Anything" (he'd long stopped announcing tunes from the bandstand). The band obviously plays actual tunes from his catalogue, however. This snippet, for instance, shows the band segueing from "Bitches Brew" to "It's About That Time".

supahsekzy Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - could be jack dejohnette.

lsoprimus Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - Bad Ass !

HammondB200 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Which album should I buy if I like this stuff. Already got Bitches Brew

middlebit Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Live at The Fillmore East, March 7 1970 (Shorter's last performance with the band). Chick is alone but just insane on that!For some more Bartz and Jarrett I suggest you get Live/Evil or The Complete Cellar Door Sessions set(my personal fave). Michael Henderson replaces Dave Holland and John McLaughlin sits in for one show. It's about as nasty as it gets!

rebelheart1968 Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - meglio è....impossibile

sumitino Says:

Jan 3, 2009 - brief comment about the isle of wright festival in general: musicians from all over gods green earth came to play there not only because it was the preeminent 'gig' at the time...but because so much of the 'general public' had missed the whole 'scene' of Woodstock and the power of the Filmore, etc. many of the greatest minds in music felt compelled to performances in so much (even on another continent) as they could to further to the social 'scene' at the time. that 'scene' was LEGENDARY
