Cool Julian, 1st time I see that one, always loved that song, Jeff plays the studio take, a Shuffle who else...

Weird setting of the stage, the lead singers behind, who's on bass ? Nathan East ? Not sure, maybe Barnaby Finch plays keyboards in the back ?

Anyway, fun stuff.

I went to put my hands on all my CDs and shit, I was listening one set of that band, MAN !!!!!!
You can't listen that whole stuff in one take so intense it is, and Vinnie playing is REALLY, I mean REALLY SAVAGE and out of this world, my goodness, and you saw it live Mark, come on, this is NUT !!!!

Chick actually loses 1 on Tumba and asks Vinnie for it resulting in a big SMASH on 1 soon after. Tumba and Humpty are pretty amazing on there - getting the CD and then the videos back then was FUN!

When I saw the Acoustic Band plus 2 (Wallace Roney and Bob Berg) the week or month before in NYC, Vinnie was losing EVERYBODY! That was, still to this day, the most "drums" I have ever seen someone play on any (actual) GIG (whether it was musical or not could be debated, and has been.) But Lord God Almighty, was Vinnie playing some amazing drums that week!!! Every musician and drummer in the audience was just shaking their heads in disbelief.

That week makes that trio recording (that I love too) sound like Ahmad Jamal "Live at the Pershing." (HA! I love that record too!)

Weird, years later, I had a couple of long conversations with Chick about that week, and the week of the CD, and "hate" is a strong term. He had some issues with it, but I wouldn't say "hate," (nor did Chick use that word.)
