Return To Forever "After The Cosmic Rain"

A fantastic, rare recordings that captures first electric Return To Forever line-up (with some modifications) live. It also very clearly shows that Bill Connors wasn't just an "average fusion player".

Return To Forever - After The Cosmic Rain Recorded 1973 Live at Quite Village, Long Island N.Y. (Originally broadcast live on WLIR-FM)

Personnel (left to right on photo):

Chick Corea - electric piano

This track was included on double-CD set "Return To the 7th Galaxy: Return To Forever Anthology". Previously unreleased.

..And here, is a live version of the track, with an identical lineup, instead featuring Lenny White on drums, and minus percussion.

This is a favorite RTF tune of yours truly.  Just amazing.
