    HI! Finally full album is available to all on YouTube! I uploaded it on two parts.
    First video incluldes solo piano pieces played by Duke in Dusseldorf (Germany) in July 9-10, 1970.

    Second video is a medley played by the orchestra in Oostende (Belgium) in August 1, 1970. CD info indicates as vocalists Tony Watkins and Devonne Gardner, but actually I don't think Watkins sings here. Have you ideas who could be the singer?

    Full details on videos info.

    Enjoy!
