Return to Forever, Live from Jazzaldia San Sebastian, 2008.
A great live concert from a reunion of legends. Each of these guys was a noteworthy player in his own right. Return to Forever is one of the great jazz fusion projects. The whole discography is transformative.
I got to see Stanley Clarke live sometime around 2000. Incredible show and band.
