Beer of the Bass Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 A while back, the drummer I played with in my first band gave me a cassette with an old live recording of this song on. The bassline on that version was much more stripped down - no slappy bits, just really solid and driving. As good as this version is, I think I preferred it that way. Quite cool to see a pointy bass like that outside of a hair metal band though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodge Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 There's a few videos on YouTube of that band of Maceo's and each one is an absolute cracker. "Let's get it on" in particular is awesome. Jerry Preston does a decent turn on the vocals later in the song too. Well worth a look. I'd love to know if this is from a DVD or summat.

johnny_b Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Fabulous indeed! I love the way he uses just occasional slaps/pops for emphasis in his lines - and as you say, he couldn't be more in the pocket. thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 That's just bought back a lot of memories from when I saw him at the Jazz Cafe earlier this year This song was a bit of a highlight in the set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
