In 1978, Weather Report performed live in Offenbach. The jazz band includes Joe Zawinul on keyboards, Wayne Shorter on saxophones, Jaco Pastorious on electric bass, and Peter Erskine on drums. The group performed songs such as “Black Market”, “Waterfall”, “Teen Town”, “Birdland”, and many more. The concert opens with the song ‘Black Market”. The song begins with Joe Zawinul establishing a melody on the synthesizer while the drums and bass set a groovy beat. The tenor saxophone makes an appearance at the scene. Throughout the song, bassist, Jaco Pastorious, plays a couple of unique sounds. Eventually, there is a solo performed by the saxophone with the drums as accompaniment.
