Recorded at Devonshire Sound, North Hollywood, California, 1976.

The shifts in Weather Report's personnel come fast and furious now, with Narada Michael Walden and
Chester Thompson as the drummers, Alex Acuna and Don Alias at the percussion table, and Alphonso
Johnson giving way to the mighty, martyred Jaco Pastorius. It is interesting to hear Pastorius expanding
the bass role only incrementally over what the more funk-oriented Johnson was doing at this early point -
that is, until "Barbary Coast," where suddenly Jaco leaps athletically forward into the spotlight. Joe
Zawinul or just Zawinul, as he preferred to be billed - contributed all of side one's compositions, mostly
Third World-flavored workouts except for "Cannon Ball," a touching tribute to his ex-boss Cannonball
Adderley (who had died the year before). Shorter, Pastorius, and Johnson split the remainder of the tracks,
with Shorter now set in a long-limbed compositional mode for electric bands that would serve him into the
1990s. While it goes without saying that most Weather Report albums are transition albums, this diverse
record is even more transient than most, paving the way for WR's most popular period while retaining
the old sense of adventure. Im Personal kommen schnell und furious jetzt, mit Weather Report's und
Narada Michael Walden als die Schlagzeuger Chester Thompson und Alex Acuna an der
Perkussionstabelle und Don Alias am Nachgeben zum mächtigen, martyred Alphonso Johnson . Es
ist interessant, zu hören Jaco Pastorius nur incremently erweitern die Baß-Rolle über, was Angst
haben-funk-oriented Pastorius an diesem frühen Punkt - das heißt, bis tat, Johnson wo plötzlich "Barbary
Coast, " athletisch vorwärts in den Scheinwerfer springt. Jaco oder gerade Joe Zawinul , während er es
vorzog berechnet zu werden - trug die ganze ZawinulAufbau 1, meistens Side Workouts außer Third
World-flavored einem rührenden Tribut zu seinem Exchef "Cannon Ball, " bei. Cannonball Adderley (who
had died the year before) Shorter und Pastorius den Rest der Schienen aufspalten, mit Johnson jetzt
eingestellt in einen langen-limbed kreativen Modus für elektrische Bänder, die ihn in die neunziger Jahre
dienen würden, während er geht, ohne zu sagen, daß die meisten Shorter Alben Übergangsalben sind,
diese verschiedene Aufzeichnung, ist sogar vorübergehender als die meisten und die Weise während
der meisten Weather Report populären Periode während pflastert, die alte Richtung des Abenteuers
behalten.
