Miles Davis "Back Seat Betty"

Studio and live versions of Miles Davis' tune "Backseat Betty" that was originally a track on his 1981 "The Man With The Horn" record.  There are three versions, a short edit studio version, a long studio version, and a live version, showcased here.  The band lineup, at least on the studio track is:

Miles Davis: trumpet 
Bill Evans: soprano saxophone 
Barry Finnerty: guitar
Marcus Miller: electric bass
Al Foster: drums
Sammy Figueroa: percussion 

The third video in the series, is a live performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, England, in 1982, with the only difference being the addition of Mike Stern on guitar instead of Barry Finnerty who played guitar on the studio recordings.
