Total length: approximately 29 mins


The entire show was approximately 90 minutes. A part of the first set of this
show was broadcast on NHK TV, Japan's national public broadcasting organization,
as 'Miles Davis in Concert', Part I and Part II.

Between approximately 15:30 and 20:45, there are various discussions and interviews
in Japanese, and some photos and fragments of interviews with Miles. In his discography,
Enrico Merlin mentions that detailed information about Pete Cosey's instruments is
given here ("a Fender Telecaster, a Gibson Les Paul with tremolo bar, an autoharp,
cowbells, agogo bells, plastic castanetas and other assorted percussion"). There
seems to exist a broadcast without the interfering discussions and interviews,
although I have never seen it on any trade list.

The sound is quite good, but the image quality isn't perfect, although it's much
better than on some of the other videos from 1973. At times, at the end, the sound
and image drops out, which shows that this was taken from a VHS recording.
