Description:

The Brecker Brothers' most exciting and previously unreleased live performance ever! Hamburg, July 2, 1980. "This was the most special show of our five-week European tour," says Randy Brecker himself, and now it's available on two discs! Funk grooves, catchy melodies, and killer tunes like "Sponge", "Some Skunk Funk", and others 100% need no explanation! Previously unreleased live performance by the Brecker Brothers, who were extremely popular! The Brecker Brothers made their debut with the self-titled "Brecker Brothers" in 1975, followed by "Back to Back" in 1976, "Some Skunk Funk" in 1977, "The Brecker Brothers" in 1978, "The Brecker Brothers" in 1980, "The Brecker Brothers" in 1980, and "The Brecker Brothers" in 1981. After debuting with the self-titled "Brecker Brothers" in 1975, followed by "Back to Back" in 1976, "Don't Stop theMusic" in 1977, and the ultra-heavyweight "Heavy Metal Be-Bop" in 1978, the Brecker Brothers embarked on a five-week European tour in the summer of 1980.According to Randy Brecker, "That tour was ," and "The band became a really tight ensemble as we continued to play together, including a number of major festivals, and it culminated in a performance that was a real tight ensemble, with every day a degree of excitement." However, Randy said, "Of all the shows, this Onkel Po show was the more intimate, deep, and comfortable. The band opened with "Strap Hangin," the title track from their forthcoming 1981 album, followed by songs from "Detente," released the same year as this show, as well as "Sponge," "Funky Sea," "Funky Dew," and "Inside. Funky Dew," "Inside Out," "Some Skunk Funk," "East River," and many more. In addition to the power of the ensemble, the solos are powerful.In particular, "Funky Sea, Funky Dew," which was originally released in its original version at just over 6 minutes, was played for 18 minutes and 40 seconds, with Michael Brecker's solo alone clocking in at 9 minutes. Some Skunk Funk," one of the best songs on the superb album "Heavy Metal Be-Bop," was played at high speed. Randy's trumpet solo on the driving shuffle blues "Inside Out" was a real treat, as was the funk soul of "East River. The rhythm section is also at its best with Finnerty's blazingly fast guitar, Gray's innovative use of mini-moog and Propfet V, Jason's groove-filled lines and slap bass, and Morales' stormy drumming. The rhythm section is also at its best.A must have for fans of Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, and the Brecker Brothers! This is the definitive live performance of the Brecker Brothers, along with "Heavy Metal BeBop" and "Blue Montreux". Members] Randy Brecker (tp & vo), Michael Brecker (ts), Mark Gray (key), Barry Finnerty (g), Neil Jason (b & vo), Richie Morales (ds)
