Weather Report’s 1978 tour included stops in Reading and Washington, Pennsylvania. The line-up included Jaco, Joe Zawinul (keys), Wayne Shorter (sax) and Peter Erskine (drums).
Thankfully Peter’s father – Dr. Fred Erskine – was there and filmed both shows.
Peter shared with Rick Suchow, “The sound came direct from the front-of-house mix board, engineered by Brian Risner, and my dad was using an old RCA video camera (at least one of those shows without a tripod), a heavy beast of a thing.”
