Great performance, terrible audio/videoApr 21, 2010
This DVD is for hard core Miles fans like myself. This is a 5 star performance by one of the most unique bands in history. I saw this band play many of these same songs (although Miles never really plays the same song twice) in a club in Phila in 1974, and it was probably the most memorable performance I've ever seen in my life. Since then, I've always been on the edge of my seat, waiting for a DVD to be produced showcasing this band. This is an absolute killer performance, but unfortunately, the recording sounds like it was made on a cheap mono cassette recorder circa 1974. The video isn't much better either. What a shame!
As was the case on Agharta, some of the songs are mislabeled. "Turnaroundphrase" is really "Moja" from Dark Magus. "Turnaround" can be heard on the On the Corner Sessions and "Prelude" on Agharta. Also, the tune labeled "Funk" is really a continuation of "Right Off" which is roughly a 9 minute version. The rhythym section on this band is unlike any other. Pete Cosey shows why he is "the man" on Calypso Frelimo. Perhaps someday someone will come across a high quality video recording of this incredible band. I'm still waiting.
