Return To Forever Announces Summer Tour

Just saw them in Portland, Oregon. I'd say they are maybe the best players I have seen, anywhere. Stanly also played a great standup bass. Well worth seeing no matter what style of music you like. All of them used a lot of effects, but pretty tasty stuff. Al has Mesa and Fuchs amps with a couple of floorboard type units going. I thought maybe Stanley was a little hard to hear at times due to the effects he was using. That Series 2 has a thundering low end.

I'm hoping the DVD will be a close representation of the experience you guys are having.

The show was fantastic. I was spellbound the whole nite. The show started off with a recording of Joe Zawinul and Miles Davis doing In a Silent Way. Then Karim Abdul Jabar came out and dedicated the show to Joe and Miles, and then introduced the band. The setlist seemed to be the same as the other shows. The band sounded awesome..It was Chicks birthday yesterday, so we all sang happy birthday to him...The show lasted about 3 hours..  To quote Lenny White, with all the rap music, hip hop, and american idol crap, Return to Forever is a testiment to instrumental music, and with all the boy bands out there, Return to Forever is a Mans band  A good time was had by all. AD played his black Les Paul, and he played two other PRS guitars..Dont pass up a chance to see this band. It is is well worth it......
