Chick Corea – Fender Rhodes piano
Stanley Clarke – bass
Bill Connors – guitar

This is a quite good (very hissy, but totally listenable) radio broadcast of an early line-up of RTF; the great Bill Connors is already in place, but session-man extra-ordinaire Steve Gadd is here instead of Lenny (Steve must have had a free evening) and there’s a dedicated percussionist!
Chick doesn’t own a synthesizer yet, and they are still performing Spain (from Light As A Feather) and Sometime Ago (from the s/t RTF album), but they are also performing the title track of their upcoming release, “Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy”.
I saw them about 8 months later when Chick DID have a synthesizer and Lenny was it and they were terrific!
