Pino Palladino Live with John Mayer Trio: Who Did You Think I Was?
By far, my favorite John Mayer CD is Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert, thanks to bassist Pino Palladino‘s incredible playing.
This is concert footage the way we like it… with the camera operator sticking with the bassist for the whole segment.
Be sure to hang around to the 2:40 mark of this video, where the band kicks into Jimi Hendrix’s “Power of Soul”. Pino really tears it up!
Pino just showed everybody ( who's really listening ) how unselfish his masterful bass playing really is! He is a drummers concrete foundation and a soloist best friend. He wears a little bit of a “Noel Redding ” hat too. YES! – Joel
Joel…, “He is a drummer’s concrete foundation and a soloist’s best friend!” I love that! That is what every bassist should strive for. I’m gonna steal your line, sorry… Marko
An humble example of musicianship for sure that most of us should definitely follow…

Can’t tell, is that fretless?
It is his Fender signature bass: http://www.fender.com/customshop/instruments/search.php?partno=0158200840
That is what it’s about right there… Holding it down. Pino is the man.
No Treble, thanks for posting this. You are the best!
The man has shrek hands… he makes that bass look like a toy!
Pino is smooth and steady! Does anyone know what model strat Mayer is playing, can you buy it anywhere?
