Negative Positive
Title: Tight, Adventurous, and RIPPING!
Review: Do yourself a favor and check out the Miles Ahead online discography entry for this release ... most of these tracks click in at over nine, 10, 13, even 16-plus minutes.THESE BANDS WERE TEARING IT UP! The studio albums from this era are easy listening compared to these ripping-funk/fusion-fests!The list of superstar band members is monstrous ... John Scofield, Bob Berg, Daryl Jones (on discs 3-10) ... Kenny Garret, Benny Rietveld ... DAMN!The recording quality is brilliant throughout, and although many song titles repeat several times (even from afternoon to evening concerts on the same date) each performance is a unique adventure all its own.Live Around the World pales in comparison (other than the smoking Kenny Garret solo on Human Nature). The Heavy Metal Prelude/Heavy Metal medley from 1988 (with Foley on lead bass) is so loud and jarring that it is just scary!If you can afford it, you must own this.
