risingson Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Saw that a few people weren't so impressed with Stevie's performance at Glastonbury. Check out this cover of Chick Corea's Spain on his tour in London a year or so back. His band are so, so good... the Trumpet/Sax/Drums and guitar are out of this world.

Doddy Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I enjoyed his Glastonbury set, but I really didn't like his rendition of Spain. I just couldn't feel it. It's one of my favouite tunes,and was looking forward to hearing him do,but I was really disappointed. I've got an awesome version of it by Chick Corea's Akoustic Band with Weckl and Patitucci,and it has so much more energy,feel,fun and balls than Stevie's version-with just piano,upright and drums.

There's no knocking Patitucci with Corea (although I can't stand Dave Weckl's drumming). Love Stevie's version all the same, I think it kicks hard.

ezbass Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Nice, a great tune played by a great man and his band, just proving what great chops they all have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I thought this was brilliant but far too long. It took up too much self-indulgent space, which could have been filled with more classic songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
