Steps Ahead in Copenhagen, 1983 

It's amazing tribute to these musicians .that this music still feels so fresh almost 40 years later.

I still have the vinyl copy of this album that I bought in 1984. I loved it then, still love it now. Like the man said, after all these years, it still sounds fresh. And the video is really great too.Thanks for sharing this gem

EDDIE GOMEZ INCONMENSURABLE CONTRABISTA REFERENTE TOTAL DEL INSTRUMENTO!! Por algo estuvo 17 años con el incomparable BILL EVANS!!

Incredible...is Mainieri using some sort of voltage control trigger between the vibes and the Oberheim on Pools?? Don't think MIDI was out or widespread just yet...and Eddie - OMFG. Saw them a few years later when they were guests of honor at our university jazz festival - Brecker did a masterclass the day before and a bunch of us jazz students rode back up in the elevator with him, it was like being before the guru, but he was lowkey and very chill, very nice guy. Then the night of the jazzfest, he played with our university ensemble (***I got to play bass with Brecker!!!!!***) and Steps Ahead did the 2nd half. Mike Stern on guitar had replaced Elias, Dave Samuels replaced Mainieri, and Victor Bailey replaced Eddie. Still one hell of a band. This is gold.

Performance is out of this world! add to that the sound quality - kudos to sound engineers who captures their performance in this quality. Everything is gelled well and sounds like a studio recording!

One of the best live bands of their kind... Playing music, not just soloing

Outstanding musicians, but exceptionally mister Mike Mainieri and Michael Brecker!!

Wonderful band! And one can understand why Erskine was drummer at Steely Dan reemerganca early '90s. Listening to this band is such a treat; a thought just came up, what would Bill Bruford had played? Eddie Gomez bass...

La época más impactante de Eddie Gomez, IMPRESIONANTE!! Que baterista Peter por Dios!!

Para mí el mejor Steps Ahead con un Eddie Gomez inconmensurable en su mejor época.

Grandes músicos e nossa querida Eliane Elias ❤ .

Totally amazing. So tight and tasteful. So glad these videos are still available.

Esto es mùsica, sin estridencias, sin agresividad, con talento extremo y amor por la profesiòn

Peter Erskine really shines here

Sin duda alguna es el Steps Ahead que más me gusta de todos los demás Steps Ahead con el monumental Eddie Gomez, insuperable fue este grupo. Eddie Gómez el más grande contrabajista de jazz de todos los tiempos en EE.UU!

Peter Ersike is one hell of a drummer.Thank you so much for uploading this.

hard to say which one strikes you the most. outstanding musicianship.

Very nice, all masters. Very good sound too. Thank you very much from Buenos Aires.

Si lees este comentario no es por casualidad! Dios te bendiga grandemente

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Merci pour ce partage, juste énorme.

Great upload ! Thank you very much !

A story. Can you get this heavy metal band and this guitarist that is a technical guy that could play anything (in a years time) and he hears/watches this. The musical world stops; new diches are spread, you cant stop it. It's me.

Love this band!

Increíble!!!

Tak @Rytmecharlie (Per Hvidbjerg). Hold da kæft hvor det svinger. Kendte ikke denne dvd live optagelse, "Steps Ahead Copenhagen Live", af deres første lp under navnet Steps Ahead.

Their organic self entitled album was so much better than Modern Times released just a year later in 1984.

Good stuff

Wicked good! The second tune could also have been named "Variations on the Lick". ;-)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pools!

КАЙФФФФ!!!!

Whoa how tall is that tenor
