VINYL. Rare 1971 live recording from a concert Miles Davis played with his electrified fusion septet-Gary Bartz (sax), Keith Jarrett (keyboards), Michael Henderson (electric bass), Ndugu Leon Chancler (drums), Charles Don Alias (congas), James Mtume Foreman (congas) -- at the Stadthalle venue in Dietikon, near Zurich. This appears to be a soundboard recording, although the sound quality is excellent. Appropriately Miles leads off the set with "Directions," a Joe Zawinul composition that was part of the pioneering In A Silent Way sessions. Miles opened every live concert with this piece for many years. "Funky Tonk" and "What I Say" gave audiences a preview of his upcoming Live Evil album on Columbia, released just a month after this show.
