here is another concert from the 1967 tour, a few days after rotterdam. the duet introduction to ’round midnight is fascinatingly different and equally beautiful. davis and herbie hancock clearly experimented with this opening each night. this concert ends with “masqualero,” which is more usually associated, i think, with the electric miles that is a few years away. all told, extraordinary music. i’ve pasted below the original info file, and as always, i am deeply grateful to the original seeder.

fyi, video footage of two dates from this tour, stockholm and karlsruhe, are included in columbia’s gargantuan box set, “the complete columbia album collection.”
