He was fantastic. I remember seeing Return to Forever as a freshman at SUNY at Stony Brook in 1974. A mind-blowing concert.

Do you recall if they played this one? It was on their record from the year before (Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy). The breakdown from about the 4-minute mark to the 7-minute mark is just furiously funky.
