This tune is an absolute masterpiece. I have loved this album since I bought it on vinyl when it was first released. Cannot believe we can lose someone like Chick. He is in my heart forever.
Me & musician friends drove from SD to the Troubadour to see our idols Chick and RTF only 2 weeks after DiMeola had joined the band. We actually showed up early to see the sound check & they were amazing! A year prior we had seen RTF with Bill Connors at UCSD which was historic looking back. Our jazz/fusion band learned all the songs on Hymn of the 7th Galaxy & played them at the India Street Jazz Festival
I saw this tour in 1975 on peyote (the only time I had that pleasure), sitting on the floor at the University of Rochester w/ my best friends.Wonderful Night. My favorite RTF album. R.I.P. Chick.
