The Wels Concert is a live album by German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, Moroccan guembri player Mahmoud Guinia, and American drummer Hamid Drake.

[6] In a review for AllMusic, Joslyn Lane described the album as "a powerful interaction of three musicians from different countries, each of whom have extraordinary improvisational abilities and deep, grounded technique."

"[1] The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "impressive" but stated that Brötzmann is "often overwhelmed by the shamanic Gania," decorating "rather than finding a way into the music.

"[7] Steven A. Loewy, writing for Cadence, remarked: "The Wels Concert shows a different side to free improvisation and one that not only works, but adds a new dimension, an overlooked nook, a glimpse at eternity.

"[9] Author Mike Heffley called the album a "musical-traditional triangle with one point in Brötzmann's Northern Europe, one in the North African home of the Gnawa musicians, and the other in the African-American milieu of drummer Hamid Drake's Chicago."
