Weather Report - Live in Germany 1971 (2010)





















It probably goes without saying that Weather Report were one of the most influential jazz rock
 bands of the 1970's and 1980's. Formed by keyboard player Joe Zawinul and saxophonist 
Wayne Shorter, both participants in Miles Davis' groundbreaking Bitches Brew, this DVD comprises
 an exciting previously unreleased live performance by the earliest version of the band. Made for
 German TVs 'Beat Club' it captures the group on their first European tour.

Also on board are virtuoso bassist Miroslav Vitous (then joint leader of the band with Zawinul and
 Shorter), powerful drummer Alphonse Mouzon and Brazilian percussionist Dom Um Romao.
 Interestingly Weather Report always eschewed the populist, indeed almost obligatory, contemporary
 requirement for an electric guitar and irrespective of the changes that their music underwent their
 continually evolving personnel remained rooted in a similar instrumental line-up.

This exhilarating concert captures the band in full flight performing often lengthy versions of tunes from
 their first two albums 'Weather Report' and 'I Sing the Body Electric'. Longtime fans will be delighted to see
 footage of the group at an early stage in its life when much of the emphasis was on collective 
improvisation hence their then ethos "we always solo, we never solo".

Zawinul - keyboards.
Shorter - sax.
Vitous - bass.
