Hi guys!

Some years back I saw a video (I believe it was here on HOD) of Rick Marotta playing with a band/artist; can't remember which, and I've been wanting to see it again ever since. I think it was shot on a roof top, probably late 70s, and Rick was playing a sixteenth feel with his unique touch.

If anyone knows what the heck I'm referring to, I'd be very grateful for any tips on how to track it down. We could all use some more Rick Marotta in our lives!

Thanks,
Henrik

That was a Carly Simon video.

Man, the James Taylor Sings To Oscar clip is freaking awesome!!!!

Wow that is a HUGE groove. Man...that's why I love his playing so much. Balls and confidence, but grooving so freaking hard.

Wow, HOD never fails! Thanks a lot, guys!

The "James Taylor sings to Oscar" clip was the one I was thinking of! Can't believe I didn't remember the Sesame Street setting; I suppose that's either a testament to Rick's profound groove, or to me being a huge blinkered drum nerd!

Big thanks to bigbone and MARACATU for the other videos as well; Marotta is such a badass!
