just listened to this live version of teen town, Theres a lovely synth sound to some of this , I know in the studio ZAwinul doubled the bass on synth, but this sounds unlikely here, I wonder if anyone knows what pedal is being used?

amazing playing, Jaco was and will always remain the best player who ever lived!!

Jaco used an octaver on one section of the song.

The live DVD I have of Weather Report clearly shows Zawinul doubling the bass part on a synth with his left hand - seemingly effortlessly - the bass part played by Jaco is great in itself but played together - Incredible.

Yes agreed - I love it - 35 yrs or so after first hearing it. I went through a phase of learning Weather Report pieces from transcriptions about 10 yrs ago - I still play Teen Town when practicing at home but have never been able to keep up adequately playing along with the CD!!

Hence your user name :).

Have you seen the Joe Zawinul 75th birthday DVD ?

No, i'll have to check it out!

I only managed to see Zawinul once with his band just a few years before he died, blistering, musical, weird, crazy, awesome, one of the most important musicians on the 20th C for sure
