Sanctuary / The Theme Disc 2 This recording features the Karlsruhe, Germany performance from the 1967 European tour, fully utilizing the latest AI technology to achieve a natural colorization incomparably better than previous black and white footage, and the sound has also been remastered for superb quality. This is live footage from 1967, following the Stockholm performance. The members appear after being introduced by MC Joachim-Ernst Berendt. The tension when Miles appears at the end and begins to play a very fast phrase on his trumpet is wonderful. All the members are young, and Tony Williams joined Miles’ band when he was 18, but at this point he is only 21!!! Miles’ suit looks great!! With its groundbreaking camerawork for its time, this is a very cool live performance that will undoubtedly move you. Live at Karlsruhe, Germany 11/07/1967 Color Version 1. Introduction 2.

The Theme Miles Davis (tpt) Wayne Shorter (ts) Herbie Hancock (p) Ron Carter (b) Tony Williams (dr) Disc 3 A rare live performance, the 1967 Stockholm concert, has finally been fully colorized using the latest AI technology, and this is a live video that will move Miles Davis fans. The short European tour by the Miles Davis Quintet, which took place from October 29th to November 7th, 1967, featured the “Golden Quintet”—that is, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter (ts), Herbie Hancock (p), Ron Carter (b), and Tony Williams (ds)—a two-horn quintet considered to be in its “second phase,” delivering a torrent of performances characteristic of its final period (a total of 9 shows). At that time, the quintet continued to explore the further possibilities of acoustic jazz, and on stage, no less. As a result, the live performances from this period reveal the intensely unrestrained playing of each player, almost approaching free jazz, and the band’s high tension is laid bare. Tony’s intelligent, wild drumming, which races through space with unrestrained freedom, is indescribably cool. Live at Konserthuset, Stockholm, Sweden October 31, 1967 1. Agitations 2. Footprints 3. Round Midnight 4. Gingerbread Boy 5. The Theme Miles Davis (Tpt) Wayne Shorter (Ts) Herbie Hancock (P) Ron Carter (B) Tony Williams (Dr) Disc 4 Live performance in Milan, Italy on October 11, 1964. The latest AI technology has been fully implemented to achieve a natural colorization that is incomparable to previous black and white footage. Once you see the colorized footage, you will never want to go back to the black and white footage again. This is a moving 1964 video. 1964 was a time when Miles Davis was not recording studio music and was actively touring. This is a record of that European tour. It was originally based on video footage, and the setlist mainly consists of his repertoire. At this time, Miles was struggling to decide on a replacement for Coltrane’s tenor saxophone, choosing between H. Mobley, G. Coleman, and S. Rivers. However, in September, Wayne Shorter took over the position and toured with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. The setlist consists of three standards that Miles favored at the time (“Autumn Leaves,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “All of You”) and two originals (“All Blues” and “Joshua”). Witness this stunning 60 minutes! Victor Feldman’s “Joshua” is a relatively rare track. Live at the Performing Arts Center, Milan, Italy 10/11/1964 Color Version 1. Autumn Leaves 2.
