Cheesy robotic on stage moves aside, this has got be one of the most hard hitting versions of Rumble i have ever heard from Chick Corea's Elektric Band and they're just absolutely on fire especially Dave Weckl 0:00 to 0:58 who brings so much power to the piece. Unbelievable performance.
Yeah, I seen the robot act sometime around the very early 90's Back then it was more acceptable but today it looks very silly. That;s not why I listen to Chick and the guys for it's the AMAZING musicianship that's off the charts! A Corea fan since the early 1970's and musician since 74.
Ha, this is great. It was always a better song live than it was on the album. Saw them play it a few times, but never on a large stage - which is apparently the only time they could get away with the cheesy robot stuff.
I'm sure that even the guys playing this performance, if they saw the beginning antics,of this video, would cringe also. It's definitely something you do "in the moment" like,how cool would it be if we came on stage as robots.... fail on that, as you can see. But as soon as they have to play, you see how quickly that shit changes. Like faster than split second. And if you don't like the music. Chick was one of a few with enough clout to try a band of this level at this time (1986 I think).
