Clifton Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Dangs, it's times like this I wish I lived in Europe or North America. Well, I caught Chick & Gary back in March over where I am (Singapore), hopefully Chick will decide to swing my way again, and bring the group with him! Hopefully!

NoahZark Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Never heard of 'em. Seriously. I clicked on the link, though, and I've sure heard of all the members. Quite a lineup. I wonder what type of venues they'll be playing. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 A quick visit to Youtube is helping me get educated. I enjoyed this: RETURN TO FOREVER - VULCANS WORLD Quite a rig Chick had in those days! Wonder what all those vintage keyboards would be worth today . . . . Noah P.S. Can anyone identify for me the keyboard that is immediately beneath the Minimoog? Chick plays it around 2:40 of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahZark Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's a Hohner D6 - obviously running through a stomp box Thanks. Appreciate it. I thought it might be a Clav, but I wasn't sure what model, and the processed sound was also throwing me. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Return To Forever was one of the pioneering fusion bands along with Mahavishnu Orchestra, and was world famous at one point. After looking at the lineup, I can certainly understand RTF's significance. I think I just grew up too late to catch that wave though, and, although I listen to plenty of bands that peaked before my time, I wasn't really a jazz fusion fan. (I also never heard of Weather Report before I started hanging around this place.) Hey, what can I say? It's a definite hole in my musical knowledge. I guarantee you, though, that I can name at least as many 1980s hair metal bands as the rest of you guys. So I got that going for me...which is nice! :GRIN: Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 So very nice to see them back. I hope Chick takes some good electronics on the road with him... My fellow musicians can't wait to go see them. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITGITC Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 We used to listen to RTF in my buddies car on 8 track! Yeah. Wifey and I went to see RTF in Raleigh in April of '83. It would have been a great concert had I gotten a chance to get settled in my seat. Unfortunately, my wife, bless her heart, suffers from MIGRAINE HEADACHES. Oh man. Have you ever had a migraine headache? Can you imagine sitting in an auditorium listening to RTF with a migraine headache? So we had to leave. I have a feeling that if I demanded that we stay, she and I wouldn't be married now. Of course, after being married to me for 26 years these headaches come much more frequently. Yup. We walked out of a RTF concert. Now that's TRUE LOVE. No wait... I'll say it - Oh Brother.

Jode Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yup. We walked out of a RTF concert. Now that's TRUE LOVE. No wait... I'll say it - Oh Brother. I'll say. On a similar note, I've always admired my dad for missing Super Bowl III to marry my mom. My dad, Alabama fan that he is, missed Namath vs. Unitas for my mom's hand in marriage. Well, she is quite a girl. And at the time, he probably would have missed the game for a date in Vietnam were it not for the wedding, so it could be worse. I am way, way looking forward to this concert! Come to Portland, boys. You can stay at my house. "I had to have something, and it wasn't there.

Geoff Grace Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Return To Forever was one of the pioneering fusion bands along with Mahavishnu Orchestra, and was world famous at one point. After looking at the lineup, I can certainly understand RTF's significance. I think I just grew up too late to catch that wave though, and, although I listen to plenty of bands that peaked before my time, I wasn't really a jazz fusion fan. (I also never heard of Weather Report before I started hanging around this place.) I caught both Return To Forever and Weather Report back in the '70s at the same theater in the round venue in Phoenix -- The Celebrity Theater. I also saw Gentle Giant there. All three were great concerts! Return To Forever was touring Romantic Warrior at the time I saw them. They were tight as an ensemble and all four were great soloists as well. Also in the audience was a guitar player I didn't know at the time but later played with in a band in LA. We're still good friends. I was fortunate to later play on that same stage in the '80s, but that's a different story. Return To Forever was one of the all time great bands. It's good to hear they'll be reuniting!

NoahZark Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 P.P.S. I'm in the last year of my 30s, so I figure I've gotta get all my "old" jokes out now while I still can. Next year, I officially join the ranks of the "fogies." (And yes, I know that 39 is already old to many, many people. Ugh.) Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Noah, I'm in the same boat as you, as far as age. For me, the big one hits next month. I'm very happy I don't feel old, but I keep seeing things that make me realize how old I am. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
