Looking for Elektric Band II live material!!

**The Milkman** · September 22nd, 2004, 06:47 PM

Does anyone have any live recordings of Chick's Elektric Band II? I am one hundred percent obsessed with Paint the World, and I would pay handsomely for a cd/video of this group....Anyone?? Thanks!!

Yeah, & Novak quite simply just su**s on there... NOT! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Got to hang w GN aft 1 of their shows in FL [nothing special to you LA guys], & my buddy met Chick there [I was hangin' w GN] & said "his stare bored a hole through me...very intense, like he was looking right through & past me..."]

It WOULD BE great to find some live boots of CCEB2...RW?! [img]wink.gif[/img]

There are quite a few out of there of both the elektric Band 2 and Chick Corea Quartet with Novak, there's evena really rare audio of the elektric Band2 with Weckl on drums. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Hey Randy,

I was hanging in the Weck's website and I saw your name there, Dave gives a thanks to you..
You work for him sometimes or it's just some helps here and there ?

Peace.
PS : by the way, Weckl's playing on the CTA video clip is awesome.

I just help here and there when needed.

Fuse, no there is an audio boot of the Elektric Band2, Miller, Earl,Marienthal, Corea and Weckl, before Novak joined on drums.

Anyone know why DW left in the first place?...to pursue his solo career [& as a fresh change of pace], perhaps?
All eyes were glued to Novak during the CCEB2 show I attended...
Proved himself mightily, i might add... [img]wink.gif[/img]
Even my jazz/funk/fusion bassist-keybrdst friend [& bandmate ATT] said that he couldn't help watching GN pretty much the whole night... [img]cool.gif[/img]

Randy,

Thanks for your answer?

Hey, who saw the Lee Ritenour DVD Live in Montreal (Canada) with the very young Gary Novak ?
Gary was really playing in the Dave's style at this period, end 80's begining 90's... (Like almost everybody on the planet !!!)
It could be hard for him now to see himself playing like that...

Anyway I think that Gary had the gig with Chick because he was recommended by Dave...

But surely that Randy must know the real deal...

Peace.
