"I was just surfing through some of the miles davis albums and am beyond surprised to see "Live-Evil" scoring a measly two stars!



This album is where its at! Just as Gary Bartz says in the liner notes, this is the time during Mile's career where he had never played harder. These tracks are rockin, funky, and some of the most layered and interesting fusion music that I have ever heard!



Tell me that you listened to "What I Say" and couldn't almost taste that energy and chemistry coming from the musicians. And "Funky Tonk" is just plain funk. What with Kieth's awesome piano solo at the end... I mean one must remember that these tracks were basically composed on the spot at the Cellar Door on night on Dec. 19th, 1970.



Lets not forget that guitar work by mclaughlin... or that spacy yet interesting, yet funky drumming of Jack Dejohnette, with Airto filling in all the gaps with a chiefly African syncopation..



Certainly the tunes "little church", "nem um talvez", and "selim" are not at all your typical miles. But I believe that they represent an entirely different direction for mile's music focusing on the power of transcendence.



For those of you who gave this a bad review, I can assume that you are purists, or felt that it didn't live up to "Bitches Brew", but lets be realistic here, I haven't heard a song as rockin' as "What I Say" since Jimi Hendrix released "Voodoo Chile (SLight Return)" in 1968........"
