Here is some early George Benson, ive been trying to find a video of him from this era for a while now. The haircuts, attire, and jazz flute are all definitively 70s. Benson has a real nice solo.

Thanks for posting that!!!
I loved it all, the music, the vintage Kustom amps, the vintage D'Angelico guitar, the vinatge Moog synthesizer and the electric piano, the vibe, and even the "mod" 70's clothes.
Just goes to show all "fusion" music ain't bad.

Ah man, that's sick. Some of my favorite players all playing together. I haven't heard the trombonist (to my knowledge) but he sounds good too.
Thanks a lot for posting this.

Yeah, Nice. Very enthusiastic Lenny White on drums. It sounds like that must have been really loud on stage.

I actually watched this when it originally aired in '75! I remember my Dad yelling at me to turn the TV volume down  Benson played some great stuff. I really liked Bill Watrous' trombone solo too!
