Live Music Podcast n°12 : Miles Davis – Vienna 1973

Un des derniers concerts capturés en vidéo professionnelle de cette formation. Concert du 3 novembre 1973 à Vienna en Autriche, avec une formation qui met le feu.

Durant le concert, on note que Miles Davis se retourne plusieurs fois vers la section rythmique avec un air de dire « Oh les gars, vous allez pas un peu vite, vous tournez à quoi ? ».

La version présentée ici est de relativement bonne qualité, très proche de la source (diffusion à la télé autrichienne).

Extrait vidéo (lent à se lancer, désolé) qui permet de se faire une idée de la folie de ce génie de la musique.

I bought this at a local shop and was amazed by the performance. The band plays a pretty aggressive set with Al Foster and Mtume keeping the beat really fast in that chaotic style that the sextet was known for. Miles has the wah pedal going and does keyboard on the slower parts. The bass was going through some distortion pedal a couple times. I switched the audio to mono in TMPGEnc DVD Author because the copy I bought could only be heard in the left channel. Video quality on this is 9/10 with very little visible compression from the tape transfer. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, as there is no official footage and very little bootleg footage from this era (1972-1974).
