Return to Forever/FL,USA 1975

RTF’s strongest line-up This was performed in the middle of recording their masterpiece “Romantic Knight.” Just like the Beatles’ “White Album,” they were on the verge of collapsing between group and solo, an overwhelmingly spectacular performance that proved they were true professionals. Developing a live performance! ! ! Chick of the second period of RTF, which brought out the heavy jazz rock sound that made full use of the unique and transcendent techniques of Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, and Al Di Meola. This is the first album released under the band name Return to Forever without using the band name, and it is the final album of this lineup, and it marks the beginning of the recording of RTF’s masterpiece “Romantic Knight”, which has the highest sales record. The October 12, 1975 Curtis Hixson Hall performance in Tampa, Florida, which was the very beginning of the last tour that started from the middle of the day, is recorded for 70 minutes with the highest quality sound that has been carefully mastered by the label. The most crazy version is now in stock! ! ! The reason why the album “Romantic Knight” was simply released under the name RTF confirms that the group at that time was formed with these four members on an equal footing, rather than with someone as the leader. Chick released “Fairy”, Stanley released “Journey to Charity”, Lenny released “The Planet of Eros”, and Al released “Midnight Sun” around the same time as “Romantic Knight”. Each of them has started its activities as the leader of a country. For this reason, RTF at this time had a strong meaning as an all-star band, and each band was engaged in intense play as if they were competing with each other. However, the four members at this time had already been working together for many years, so Aun’s breathing was different from that of an impromptu all-star band, and as you can see when you listen to it, he was able to perform incredibly difficult and difficult ensembles. You can listen to the ultimate performance full of tension, where egoism and ensemble are just barely balanced. The concert began with the album’s title song, “Romantic Knight,” which is famous for its technically difficult acoustic performance, followed by an extremely high-speed unison line by Chick, Al, and Stanley, which was RTF’s trademark during this period. was played, and the fierce exchange of solos from each person was already heating up. After that, based on this “Romantic Knight”, a lot of time was devoted to a jam in which the members joined from Chick’s piano solo, followed by Al, Stanley, and Lenny in that order, with each member as the main character, and in the second half. The entire electric performance begins. The representative songs “No Mystery,” “The Duel of the Jester,” and “The Shadow of Law” hit the stage in quick succession. Chick’s wild synths, Al’s amazing rapid-fire electric guitar playing, Stanley’s fast guitar-like passages, Lenny’s high-speed drums in a 100-handed Kannon state, the interplay of thrilling solo exchanges, each one is unbelievable. An astounding performance that showcases the technique without hesitation unfolds. On this day, the four of them played a series of intense plays, with Tic in the lead and everyone else being deadly from start to finish, and all songs were played at a higher speed than in the studio, giving the illusion of being thrown into the middle of a hurricane. We are developing a ferocious and radical performance like this. However, it doesn’t end there; the secret is that each song is accompanied by a melancholy and beautiful Spanish melody that touches the heartstrings, which is also irresistible! This is a masterpiece of RTF’s divine performance right before it collapsed! ! ! Live at Curtis Hixon Hall,Tampa,FL Cot.12.1975 AUD 2018 Original Remasyter 69min 1. The Romantic Warrior 2.
