An Evening with Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert
An Evening with Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert is a live album compiling several performances from February of 1978 and released the same year as a double LP. The album features just Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea playing acoustic pianos. The use of the acoustic instruments comes as a marked departure from both men's favoring of electric keyboards at that time. Hancock received top billing on this album, while Corea was credited first on the album CoreaHancock, another recording from the same tour released by Polydor.

On vinyl, "February Moment" and its introduction are indexed as one track. Moreover, the liner notes state that the sound on the fourth side of the album had to be compressed in order to fit the 13 and a half minute version of "Maiden Voyage" and the nearly 22 minute version of "La Fiesta" on a single side; this preserved the integrity of the performance, but lowered the sound quality. The CD release avoids this issue.
