Definitely one of the best live albums.
I didn’t manage to see UFO live but saw Michael Schenker Group live a couple of times in the early 80s.
I’ve seen Schenker 3 times recently, musically superb, playing the UFO favourites, but the vocalists are pretty awful.
I’ll be going to watch him in a couple of weeks time, if I can get my finger out and buy a ticket.

The music is sounding absolutely sublime! …a beautiful album.
“Birdland Variations” uses its memorable melodic theme, breaks it down to its essences, and rebuilds it radically without losing the hook. Its notion of time is stretched, with one drummer playing 3/4 while the other swings in 4/4, leaving the saxes free to decide whom to follow. His wah-wah expressionism bridges all four players and he delves into funk as Esen’s keys illuminate the interior and color the margins.
Vitous uses familiar WR themes in his own three “Multi Dimension Blues” interludes that bind these tunes together.
The reading of Wayne Shorter’s “Pinocchio” (first recorded on Miles Davis’ Nefertiti in 1967, then in 1978 on WR’s Mr. Gone), juxtaposes Vitous’ effects-laden arco playing along with a soprano and tenor sax engagement that relays the primary melody in elemental statements. Esen reconstructs the harmony using fragmentary notions in striking progressions.
Vitous’ tenure with WR is reflected in “Seventh Arrow” (captured in studio on their 1971 self-titled debut and in concert on 1972’s Live in Tokyo). This version is closer to the latter, offering a forceful exchange between drummers and head-to-head conversation from the saxophonists. Esen and Vitous crack open color and textural palettes from the inside, illuminating both poles.
“Morning Lake” is darker than its 1971 original, as ambient synth swirls, shimmering Rhodes, and skittering alternate drum patterns create its elusive spine. Intermittent interplay between horns offers modal melodic fragments. The bassist’s wah-wah pedal is the pulse. The piece floats, simmers, and eventually explodes with the sample of a thunderstorm to close.
While WR’s rock and funk fans may require a couple of listens to find the grooves, they are certainly there. Jazz fans should readily embrace The Music of Weather Report as top-flight 21st century fusion, rife with canny improvisation by an excellent group with an inspired leader.

Just arrived in the Cabin after doing the Dishwasher, my only chore today…
Just went onto Qobuz releases and spotted this and thought, ‘…when was the last time I listened to ANY New Order…

I didn’t know that Charlie had a musician daughter.
