“This was to be the last incarnation of the legendary Weather Report. Publicity shots at the time show Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter opening a large packing case to reveal their new rhythm section.
Despite the departure of Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine the leaders are smiling broadly; once again they have replaced the irreplaceable. Night by night, throughout the long 1983 tour documented here, drummer Omar Hakim and bassist Victor Bailey would prove themselves the equals of their predecessors and forge a powerful ensemble sound.
Performed at Yomiuri Land Open Theatre East, Inagi, Japan on July 29th 1983 and broadcast on NHK radio.”
“The best rhythm team of Jaco and Peter Erskine had left, and at the time of the start of a new Weather Report, I couldn't imagine better members than their predecessors, so I listened to it with half expectations and I remember being amazed that they had transformed into a great group, full of charm, different from Jaco and Peter, and I was very excited. I was particularly impressed with Omar Hakim's powerful and technical drumming.”
