Miles Davis - Live at Neue Stadthalle in Dietikon, Switzerland, 22 October 1971

Live at Neue Stadthalle in Dietikon, Switzerland, 22 October 1971 by Miles Davis

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.
