Return to Forever (feat Zappa Plays Zappa) On Tour

Classic RTF and Zappa, its like the 70s all over again.

There are J-L Ponty and Gambale in RTF line-up this time... I've seen them playing with Al Di Meola few years ago.

Ah. Japan seems to be included as a schedule of the tour.

However, I am pouring money into CD to learn Jazz further now. It might be an act of connecting because of my own enjoyment and JMA.

^awesome! Enjoy it and tell us how it was!

My chances of going to U.S.A. to see them are unlikely, but my bro and I might convince my dad for a ZPZ+RtF date in SF or somewhere in the months of either September or October. (or August) It's still a long shot.

This time tell me if you go to SF. I want you to meet my buddy Ray the record dealer. He's an interesting guy and he has good records to sell too.

Indeed will! Sorry for the past time that I didn't tell you, if I had known you were from there!

The Toronto show is tonight. Can't wait!!! Big smile

RtF and ZPZ??!! Or "simply" RtF?

It was just RTF, and that's all I needed. Great show!!! Possibly the best I've been too. Big smile

I'll try to find the setlist, but they played a good chunk of Romantic Warrior, "Shadow of Lo" from Where Have I Known You Before, Jean Luc Ponty's "Renaissance", "Hymn of The Seventh Galaxy", plus a song by Vertuu among other things. I'll look for some pics as well, though the ushers were telling people to stop taking photos.

Unfortunately, the gig was not sold out. Fortunately for us, we got free seat upgrades from the very back of the hall to the middle of the main level. Smile

They injected plenty of humor into the show as well, joking about their age, boy bands (Lenny said RTP is a MAN's band), and teasing the crowd that they were gonna play some Coltrane, and Chick produced an Ipod playing "Impressions".

It disappointed me that there was no official RTF merch available, but I picked up a Toronto Jazz festival T-shirt instead.

Sounds like an awesome show!

I'm surprised though, I thought they were playing the entirety of Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy. Confused

Glad you had a great time, I really can't miss this.

Glissando and Harmonics.

As for the sound of Stanley Clarke, I can feel his individuality only by listening at once. Thank you for putting the video.

They'll be sunday in Ghent for the Ghent Festival, but apparently without ZPZ >>> Too bad, I'd have made the trip to see both.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....
