Released 1979 (in Japan), 2004 (rest of World)
 
Live Under the Sky by the V.S.O.P. Quintet was performed live in Japan over two days. The first day, which took place during a furious rainstorm, was broadcast live on national television. The original release featured the first day, while the 2004 re-master/re-release (fully for the first time in the United States) also featured the second concert. 
 
The band, already exhausted after the second concert did not want to come out for an encore, so Hancock and Shorter came out by themselves and played.

首刻版的 V.S.O.P.: Live Under the Sky 只有 (第一晚的) 八首歌,甚至還缺少開場曲 Eye of the Hurricane; 2004 年發行的再版便補足這項遺憾,更有之,亦將第二晚的錄音收錄在第二張唱碟,成為兩張一套的現場專輯,連安可曲也一併收錄了.這場號稱 70 年代末期最佳爵士音樂會之一的錄音,終於完整列入歷史檔案,對於當時參與或來不及參與的樂迷,也有了交代.

錄音品質優良,聆聽時似乎還能聽到天空飄下的雨,值得注意的是,這些樂手雖在 70 年代的各種音樂場合工作,然而他們與 Miles Davis 發展出『自由咆勃樂』,卻一直保留在心中. Freddie Hubbard 表現卓著,將即興表演提升至嶄新境界,第二晚的表演更加激烈,這是一場不能錯過的演奏會,聆聽過程充滿驚奇,優雅,甚至引人翩翩起舞,高度推薦.
 
The music on 1978's The Piano and 1979's V.S.O.P.-Live Under the Sky-recorded in Tokyo and released in Japan-was never available in the United States, and much of it has not been available anywhere because Columbia didn't consider this music commercially marketable at the time. 
 
There is an audio story associated with both of these releases. The Piano was recorded in a forbidding purist process, long beloved by audiophiles, called direct-to-disc. Hancock's performances in the studio were cut, in real time, onto master acetate discs, from which plates were made to stamp out the two sides of a high-quality LP. Live Under the Sky was a very early digital recording, made on one of Sony's first digital tape recorders, the 1610.
 
Given that the Sony 1610 created such a high quality digital master for The Piano, it cannot be the reason for the wretched sound on the V.S.O.P. set. Other factors were clearly in play. The Piano comes from a rigorous, disciplined audiophile recording session, where all the technical engineering moves in the studio were correct. Live Under the Sky was made outside, in the 30,000-seat Denon Colosseum, in the rain, with lots of amplification on stage. The final outcomes are what matter. The Piano is a reference-quality piano recording that begs to be remastered in DSD for SACD release. V.S.O.P.-Live Under the Sky is the perfect album to play loudly when you want to clear your house of unwanted guests.
錄音技術的描寫
 
 
 
 
Tony Williams - 'Para Oriente' - Live
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T_DSGW2Un8 這版本比較融合爵士
 
In 1979, Williams, McLaughlin and bassist Jaco Pastorius united for a one-time performance at the Havana Jazz Festival. This trio came to be known as the Trio of Doom, and a recording of their performance was released in 2007. It opens with a powerful drum improvisation by Williams, followed by McLaughlin's "Dark Prince" and Pastorius' "Continuum", Williams' original composition "Para Oriente" and McLaughlin's "Are You the One?"
