Thanks for the Brownie, it was delicious :thumb:
I'll admit that few will have any interest in this clip but it has a personal story:

Billy Cobham has been my favorite drummer for more than 40 years now, and is responsible for helping to usher in a huge change in the role of the drum kit.
Shabazz was the first album I ever purchased. Played the hell out of it and have it burned into my brain. The album was lost long ago and I hadn't heard it in decades...
...Until I stumble across this video, which is a vid of the actual concert that the LP was made from! I had no idea that a video existed, and having lost the album had thought that I'd never hear this again. So to find a video of my long=lost first album of the most important musician in my life - well, I was excited, anyway.
(Maybe Bob M my fellow fusion-head might like this - some cool early synth stuff)

My favorite Billy Cobham album is Crosswinds. I haven't worn it out yet either, damn entertaining.
Honorable mention goes to A Funky Thide of Sings.

Maria Callas one of the few that moves me. :thumb:
What's a good video of her, Steve? I have wandered around yootoob listening to her on occasion, but not knowing what's her best.

Wow, that's awesome Mike! I can't imagine getting to see on video some of the great albums that I grew up with.
I first learned about Cobham while at college. Lots of young drummers there worshiped him as the best ever. I was impressed by his impressive physique. My drummer loved him and also had huge guns.

Hi Rich,
I have these links. Seemed one or two were actually voiced by someone else, but I cannot confirm. Seems I only have one actual video. thought I had more.
