Bass Videos - Page 52

FORQ released “Big Party” in August, and as expected, it is a terrific album. Now they’ve released a video for “Into Bright.” James Genus is featured prominently with some serious groove.

From the 1972 Montreux show, Steve Gadd and Tony Levin are throwing down on a sweet groove. This was filmed during their performance with Chuck Mangione.

Here’s Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather performing New Morning in 2001. Joined by bassist Chris Kent, drummer Gary Ferguson, and organist Rick Jackson, here’s 5-plus minutes of the band having fun while performing “Room 335.”

Charles Berthoud shared another video showcasing his impressive skills, saying, “This is what a completely unedited bass solo sounds like.” The song is “Yesterday” by The Beatles, and it is a beautiful solo bass arrangement.

The folks at Zycopolis TV keep bringing the good stuff, like this 2004 performance of the Billy Cobham band performing “Spectrum” in 2004.

The Jaco Pastorius Archive shared another incredible recording yesterday. Joni Mitchell’s “Shadows and Light” tour stop at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles happened 45 years ago this month. This soundboard recording comes from the fourth of five concerts, and the second to last concert of the tour.

Madrid-based musician Tomás Merlo has a band called the Jaco Pastorius Legacy 5tet, with which he pays tribute to the late bass master. Merlo and his group have released a few videos, including this new take on the masterpiece “Continuum.”

The highly anticipated BEAT tour began on Thursday in San Jose, California. Here’s the quartet of Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, and Danny Carey performing “Sleepless” from “Three of a Perfect Pair.”

I saw this video on Cort Guitar India’s Instagram and immediately looked for it on YouTube. Nilanjana Gosh Dastidar absolutely knocked me out with her performance of “Chromatic Fantasy.”

Leonid Vorobyev and his band Leonid & Friends have been on tour, so we haven’t seen many videos. That changed a few days ago when they dropped a new one. Here’s their cover of Chicago’s “Baby, What a Big Surprise.”

KNKX hosted Richard Bona in their Seattle studios in October 2023. They just released this video of his performance of “Calm Down.”

Following their epic cover of “The Camera Eye” during their performance in Kansas City, YYNOT and Tim Starace are back with another from “Moving Pictures.” Here’s the band performing “Witch Hunt.”
