Album Notes & Community Reviews

A Grammy-winning double album documenting the highly acclaimed Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine rhythm section at their absolute technical peak. Primarily recorded during a global tour, the fourth side uniquely features newly recorded studio tracks due to technical errors in the original live tapes, highlighting their increasingly polished, synthesizer-heavy sound.
