To the poster: can you tell me when and where this song was recorded, and any other info you have about Gil's backup (or regular) band? We need it to authentically document his work in the Wikipedia. Thanks.

Well spoken--much love to Gil and his message of love--his message of sustainability and his insight into all things human.
Peace.

I saw Gil on both his Australian tours in the 90s with essentially this band. Amazing the first time... unbelievable energy, soul and skill... but second time, sadly Gil was too messed up to hold it together. Watched this great band taking 10 minute solos while GSH nodded off at the keyboards. Hope things are better now for Gil.
A great prophet and musical originator. Eternal gratitude and respect.

If you haven't heard the 1970's studio cut of this tune check it out, it's the best version; it's got a spacey keyboard flourish at the start, the drums are low key but in the pocket, and at the end when the horn section enters the groove I get tingles up my spine every time without fail.
"Odds are we're gonna lose someplace, sometime... damn near totally destroyed, one time..."
