Herbie Hancock with the Head Hunters

[Brentastic]

Downloadable link at the bottom. Flood is the eighteenth album by Herbie Hancock. It was released only in Japan in 1975. It features the Headhunters Band, performing their hits from the Head Hunters, Thrust and Man-Child albums. Like the Led Zep concert I just posted, the sound quality on this live show is just awesome and this is just a great show, trust me. Since it was only released in Japan this is a rarity. In fact, it's the only live Herbie show in my collection.
