NotesFour CD set. Weather Report's The Legendary Live Tapes features sensational unreleased performances all "completely, totally, unapologetically and insanely live" recorded by the legendary jazz group from 1978 to 1981. Formed by onetime Miles Davis sidemen Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter in 1970, Weather Report defied categorization in the 15 years they recorded together. Inspired by their "electric" collaborations with Davis, Zawinul and Shorter would lead Weather Report into unpredictable territory, from free-jazz to structured but sprawling multicultural jazz-rock. The dramatic addition of electric bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius to the lineup in 1976 led to an even more energetic and daring Weather Report, who would even score a crossover hit in 1977 with "Birdland." A year later, drummer Peter Erskine joined the fold, creating one of the band's most notable lineups; that lineup would expand to a quintet with the addition of percussionist Bobby Thomas, Jr. In 1980. These two lineups, responsible for some of Weather Report's most important moments, are chronicled in this four-disc set, sourced from never-before-heard soundboard tapes recorded by longtime live mixing engineer Brian Risner. Produced by Erskine and executive produced by Joe Zawinul's son Anthony, this package uniquely showcases Weather Report's extensive prowess as a band, opting not to replicate the ebb and flow of a standard Weather Report set at the time, instead offering a uniquely curated experience that captures the dazzling directions the group took at the arguable height of their powers.

Good Sound, Great Performances
This 4 disc live anthology captures the quartet and quintet lineups of Weather Report during the 1978-1980 tours (Zawinul, Shorter, Pastorius, Erskine + Thomas Jr.) The set includes live versions of the entire Night Passage album and the studio tracks from 8:30. Two Pastorius solos and the 21-minute Gibraltar are worth the price of admission alone. The sound quality is surprisingly good for previously unknown recordings, ranging from very good to excellent. Detailed liner notes from Peter Erskine describe the origins of the recordings. The only issue with the set is the flimsy packaging. Overall, a great set and a necessary addition to any Weather Report fan's collectionVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
