Weather Report: Live In Cologne Rockpalast 1983 DVD 2020 Release Date: 7/24/2020
After Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine left the band, Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter decided to continue their successful project with a new rhythm set: drummer Omar Hakim, Victor Bailey on bass and percussionist Jose Rossy. Weather Report's Cologne concert shows the band in musical top form. In a more than two-hour show, the band sparks a firework of rhythm and melodies.
Next to classics like ''Birdland,'' in this concert you will hear pieces from later phase of Weather Report: ''D Flat Waltz,'' ''Procession,'' ''Fast City,'' ''Where The Moon Goes'' and ''Two Lines''.
The material which was originally recorded by the WDR (West German Radio and Television Broadcasting) has been completely restored and re-mastered and is now appearing in a new version -- something that's not just for long-time fans of Weather Report.
