Not sure that player on the video has really listened to the song or he has made up his own version. On the original recording the bass does not kick in until 42 seconds into the song, this guy is playing his bass from the actual start.

Is that you Hiram playing on this vid?

Hi fellow BCer’s, Can anyone help me with a note run down within this song please, I’m struggling to pick out the bass notes within the middle eight (at 2.20 on the video) it repeats C to D three times and on the fourth section before going back into the chorus there is definitely a bass rundown behind the guitar, our guitarist recons it’s E F# G A B, I’m fairly sure it just sounds different to that. Any guidance would be welcome.

Just heard this on Planet Rock. What a groove.

I think this guy would disagree with that statement.

This for the metal parts, bridge, frets and machine heads etc.

Any Steely Dan album.

Just me and the wife having a quiet night in.

Currently on Sky Arts - Journey from a Houston gig in 1981, superb, one of my all time favourite bands. 👍👍👍

Great to see this, caught it halfway through, Rods vocals better then, nowadays it’s not the case. Very good band, I saw this line up on a couple of tours around this period.

The way things are escalating, this looks like it will be a long thread ☹️🦠

Jim Bowen in the front row in his Christmas jumper, super, smashing, great 😊

Out in the Fields - Gary Moore & Phil Lynott

Very nice, like it, great bass tone. We have just added this to our set list, we are doing the Phil X and the Drills version.

Blimey, some big names in the band. Jonny Vegas - Drums Eric Clapton - Bass Uncle Albert - Guitar Harry Hill - Guitar Damon Hill - Vocals 😀😀😀😀

Attended the first one in 1974 and the second in 1975.

Is Sting using the same bridge on his new album, it looks very similar.

Just watching a cracking documentary on Sky Arts - Phil Collins: Going Back To Detroit.

Nice clip. Is your waistcoat a hand me down, your vocalist was wearing it five years ago 😊

7.00pm tonight - My Planet Rocks with JJ Burnel A one hour long interview, plus him picking some of his favourite tunes.

Brilliant album cover design, summed up that era.

I don’t do any of my own improvised bass solos, not my bag. I played in a pretty well respected Free tribute band for a few years, Mr Big had to be in the set, I learnt Andy Frasers bass line including the solo, note perfect, that track always went down a storm and it was really nice to get some extra special personal applause when our vocalist said it featured me on bass. 👍 A very good local rock covers band used to have Mr Big in their set, if ever I was out and about watching them, Dave the bass player would drag me up on stage to replace him and play it with the band. Sometimes it’s nice for the bass player to be recognised.

A quick heads up. Sky Arts - Friday 12th November - 11.00pm Bad Company live at Red Rocks

My only purchase is a Retrovibe Stinger kit which I fitted to my MM Sub, transformed the sound, it’s now my regular gigging bass over my 90’s Stingray. Best £70 spent this year.

I think the term I used to describe myself in the day, was rhythm guitarist, I was never really good enough to be lead guitarist, far too many notes to remember in solos.
