Have always loved the playing at the end of this track, lots of string skips and some nice melodic playing when the bass catches the guitar line, which is also an exercise in restraint as it's tempting to pump out the eighth notes there.

There's some great bass on the Journey stuff - "Escape" is just full of really excellent bass parts .
It's been one of my favourite play-along albums for years.

Yep, still one of my fave bass lines - that melodic section at the end with the solo

I used to play that one before I left my band (and sing the harmony... eek) - great number to play!

Isn't it Randy Jackson on half of it? Or did I invent that?

No, not on escape. Randy Jackson was on Raised on Radio. The shame of knowing that.
