Miles Davis Bill Evans, Mike Stern, Marcus Miller Miles Davis/London, UK 4.21.1982 S & V

The 1982 UK tour was a full-scale comeback tour, and the second day of the show at Hammersmith Odeon in London, which was a three-night consecutive performance from April 20th, was recorded with the best quality sound and video. This is a soundboard sound source and pro-shot video from broadcast radio and TV, both of which have been digitally remastered in 2025, with the sound balanced and the video digitally corrected to the best quality currently available. A week has passed since the tour by the so-called “Come Back Band” after about a five-year hiatus, and the band, including Miles, is starting to get better, and they performed well until the end. In particular, in the first half of the song, the Miles style explodes in the second half of “Fat Time,” which gives you goosebumps as it unfolds a Spanish solo with up-tempo long tones, as if it were a lie that it had been a bit reserved until then. Also, while half of the setlist was made up of songs from “Man with the Horn,” it was interesting to note that the performance was performed with a different approach to the album, with an emphasis on melody. In any case, the setlist also included numbers from “We Want Miles,” with Miles playing hard, supported by Al Foster, Mike Stern’s galloping guitar, funky Bill Evans’ sax, and Marcus Miller’s groovy bass. Although the comeback tour the previous year was only in the United States and Japan, and the performance itself was unstable, this European tour was a must-see for fans, with a total of 1 hour and 22 minutes.
