Dave Weckl Throwback Thursday From the MI Vault 8/28/1998

These guys play their instruments like we breath the air - effortlessly. Just ridiculous. This level of proficiency and expression on their respective instruments is pretty much unreachable by most of us. And this was 25 years ago.

the BEST

Wow! 🤯

Credits:

Dave Weckl - drums and bandleader
Jay Oliver - keyboards
Buzz Feiten - guitar
Brandon Fields - sax
Tom Kennedy - bass

Whew! NASTY AF!!!

Last track right after the long drim solo, what a great intro

laaaaaa... tremendo show!

Superbe concert ! Merci !

Really like that 8" Tom with the built-in snare strainer. I'm surprised it isn't part of his signature line. However, it's too bad Yamaha built that only for him & was never available to the public.

Tom Kennedy 💖💪🎵🎶

Love it🤘🏻🥁🎸🎹🎸🎷

Musicians Institute? I think it's pretty disrespectful to not even list the musicians.

👍Mutant BEAST!!!!

Oh, c'mon, this is just ridiculous. The kind of motor skills this Weckl has is unprecedented, I think. I've never seen anyone break up a rhythm in so many interesting ways, on the fly, with the precision of a quartz watch. And that keyboard player I've never seen before - Jay Oliver, I think was what I heard Dave say (?) I LOVE that guy's style. I mean, sure, Dave Weckl is the reason I checked this vid out, but I'm usually also blown away by the top master musicians that are in his league. This is precision machinery at its best.

Brandon Fields is a marvellous saxophonist!!! as the others...

Watching guys like Weckl always makes me want to play.

Wore that album OUT! Love it.

Nobodies cymbals and drums sound as good as Dave's, absolutely genius playing.

This is one of the best shows given by master Weckl and this amzing and gifted musicians, I watch it over and over again from time to time just to remember how incredible this music and band was. Dave should call them over and make a final last piece.

T o my mind the best band he ever had !!!! On his name as a leader

Sobre natural esse solo! D guitarra coisa mais linda! Me faz viajar

Dave is my favorite.
Seen him play some and it was amazing.
His dynamics and skill make it look like he invented the instrument. ✌️

O melhor batera.

Good to hear drums played they way they should be and not beat the hell out of and the sax who's sound isn't pinched off, as a certain popular performer (Kenny G) does.

What a wonderful, amazing band.

Dave weckl é o cara.👏👍👍

Ooook!

Best drummer of all time. I’ve never seen a bassist like this as well.

Brilliant then, Brilliant now !!!!!!!!

There's so much going on and yet there's still space in the music!

Prelijepo nice srdačan pozdrav

Why did Dave switch to sabian ? Wish he would have went to paiste

Pedazo de banda que buenos son todos... Lo único que no me ha gustado es el sonido de la guitarra suena a alambres por lo demás un 10 bravo! Bravisimo!

Love the DWB! Amazing - saw them live in '98 in Portland. Great players. Thanks so much for sharing.

So much power from Dave

Anyone else got the Modern Drummer +1 on cassette and then went "excuse me?" when Sheryl Crow became famous?

Love it!

I used to play in a jazz/fusion band, and we did covers of Mud Sauce and 101 Shuffle. They were such great improv tunes and a lot of fun to play.

AMAZING, AWESOME, WONDERFUL!

Solid!

Buzzy Feiten—OMG the best

I love listening to talented drummers

real master, even back then at this young age....

Buzz Feiten is actually on the Olivia Newton John "Physical Tour DVD from 1982 that I have. The other guitar player is Michael Landau! If you listen, you hear some very good playing! Great concert!!!!

Tom Kennedy on Bass ? ... Genius indeed !!!

Im 25 and just started getting into fusion. That solo by Buzz in Song for Claire is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard, hands down. Wow! He just goes exactly where you want him to go. Not a bad note in that solo.

Insanely GREAT........Better.........and BETTER.......with Each passing year.
