Thanks for this. I tried to find this clip but I couldn't remember the name of the tune. What a killer bass line. I bought the album way back in the '70s on the strength of Anthony's brilliant playing.

Thank God he's still with us. I wish him all the best, and would love to tell him the huge influence hist artistry and determination to do it right has been a landmark for so many of us.
He's definitely on my Mount Rushmore of bassists., and his playing on this album continues to blow me away to this day.
