Elektric Band members are Chick Corea on keyboards, Dave Weckl on drums, John Patitucci on bass, Eric Marienthal on sax, and Frank Gambale on guitar in the live performance of Got a Match at Montreux in 2004. Chick's composition was originally recorded on the 1986 debut studio album Chick Corea Elektric Band.

Chick Corea is one of the most significant jazzmen of recent times. He first came to notice as a keyboard player for Miles Davis in the late sixties and early seventies before founding his own jazz-fusion band Return To Forever with Stanley Clarke, which started the career of Al Di Meola. In more recent times he has been operating as either the Chick Corea Akoustic Band or, as in this case, the Chick Corea Elektric Band.

Chick Corea has played Montreux on many occasions both in his own right and as a sideman for other performers. This two-and-a-half-hour concert from 2004 was part of the tour for the most recent Elektric Band album To The Stars and the first part of the concert is made up of a number of tracks from that album. After the interlude, the band came back to offer a selection of classic tracks including Eternal Child, Spain, and Blue Miles.
