@@asor8037 I didn’t write ‘underrated’ just to do some RU-vid thing. Ask yourself what his exposure was like in drumming magazines during the 90s - almost non-existent. KC is so far from being a well documented and renowned drummer in the general drumming consciousness it’s tragic given how good he is. Happy for you to disagree though.
That's the challenge of this type of music. As amazing as it is, It's not so easy to listen to. Kind of like listening to a lecture by a scientist. But among musicians, especially those into fusion, this is like "calculus". It gets better and better once you're starting to understand a bit of what's going on. You do get that they are quite a bit of mad scientists. They are not "underrated", but just not popular in the mainstream. But musicians generally are aware of these guys.
Henderson is the ultimate fusion guitarist. The only one who is TOTALLY fluent in jazz, rock and blues. Not another jazz dude with an overdrive pedal. He truely LOVES all these generes.
Larry Coryell meets that description. So does Di Meola. People forget that he didn’t used to be all Latin all the time. In early RTF he did a lot of different shit 😎
@@mongooseavilacosta9359 All the players mentioned are completely unique and absolutely brilliant musicians. Yes Scott is awesome and fearless as are all the above. No need to try to convince everyone who the "greatest" is, because we all know it was Holdsworth, but we love the others too! I hope that clears things up for anyone who was confused about it. You're welcome 🤗
This band set new horizons for jazz fusion, this stuff still sounds fresh today , other artists of the genre didn't get so lucky and their music sounds a bit dated today, anyway,mind blowing performance!
I thank Eddie Van Halen (RIP) for turning me onto Tribal Tech. Eddie's quote on this album was that Henderson was the best guitarist he ever heard in his life.
These guys are all the most amazing musicians I've ever seen. Not just individually, but also in the way they come together as a band. Scott is untouchable here. That's also true for the rest of them too! It's amazing how they realize what music is all about and how to keep it interesting!
My brother found this and showed it to me a few years ago. I still use it as a litmus test to this day. Just Kirk Covington alone is all the entertainment I need. DM me to lol about this ❤.
For me this is the window when Kirk Covington was really on fire behind these dudes. Seen them and met Kirk in Portland Oregon in late 90's. Kirk was candid with me in our first conversation that he is the only drummer that really counts in the bands history. Some other drummer who I forgot his name, Russ something did an album with them that Kirk didn't seem to impressed with. Kirk was an amazing drummer to see and talk to.
These guys are so incredibly in touch with each other while playing, its almost mind blowing to witness. Kirks body language during half time accents and all the tricky licks he wants you to be aware of is absolutely mind fucking blowing. His drumming is of the fucking chain.
Thanks for upload. I’ve watched this show so many times years ago. I like the fact they love and play blues music even being a fusion band. Out from this world.
Scott's solo on the last song is so explosive yet in perfect control; the drummer is feeding of him and he is feeding off the drummer. So satisfying I had to listen to it three times!
I was hooked on Tribal tech from the first time I played the "Face First" album. I have all of their albums! I love Scott Henderson's playing, Kirk on the drums and Gary Willis is one badass bassist.
Agreed! That tune makes me jump out of my seat! I remember back in the 70'swhen I got the LP Spears and heard Big Fun , the whole album is so monstrous fusion jazz , just loved cranking up Big Fun, that is one of the best rocking jazz tunes ever!
Kirk Covington just goes off on the Big Wave. Off the fricken hook. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it. That's right after Gary Willis kills it. Man I'm so lucky to have found these guys. I need a Covington fix. I'm good.
This clip alone shows this was the best band since Led Zeppelin. Thus earning Tribal Tech the title of being the Led Zeppelin of fusion music. I got Eddie Van Halen to thank (RIP) for having a sticker on a Tribal Tech album CD where Eddie said Scott Henderson was the best guitarist he ever heard. That sticker on the CD sold me into buying that CD and getting into Tribal Tech. I was huge into Larry Carlton and he sadly got out of fusion and started doing boring mainstream mellow jazz, so I was super glad when I discovered Tribal Tech who took Carlton's style & material to a way higher level of fusion music.
My brother is a drummer and has studied all of the greats along with their transcribed drum parts. You name it: Stuff from Virgil Donati to Buddy Rich, Simon Phillips, Neil Peart, Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Williams. . . he loves playing all of that stuff ( and he can play it well too ). But he tells me, to this very day. . . the solo from Kirk Covington on " The Big Wave " scares him the most.
@@bardoface Better at what you ignorant dimwit? You're talkin' about completely different styles of guitar. Scott Henderson has a one-of-a-kind approach to the instrument. There's no relation whatsoever. What's worse that somebody that knows absolutely NOTHING about music, is ignorant dumbazz/s, such as yourself, who think they know about guitar, let alone music in general.
@@rlm4471 let’s put it this way. Scott looked up to him and even asked Alan over to help him with his tone. His tone and style is obviously influenced massively by Holdsworth.
