MeShell Ndege Ocello - If That's You're Boyfriend... 1997

[mikakrstic]

David Dyson is good...Just NOT arter the african queen of woodoo, the bitch of all the bitches!

[sdblairva]

Thanks bobfunk! This video was making the rounds on the iConcert channel in Europe a few years ago. I had it on my DVR in HD and it was awesome. Unfortunately, I lost it in a hard drive crash :(

[tim4short]

This is really funky, did this concert ever come out on dvd?....

[bobfunk11]

@tim4short

No

Bob

[Chalenger303]

I felt the vibe of Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof" in the beginning of the keyboardist solo. Very sweet.

[kaplanswestcoast]

David fucking Dyson.  If you're gonna play bass for MeShell, you better be solid as shit. Damn.

[TheMrSchack]

Hey Bobfunk....

Is this a concert available to buy? I saw your reply (u working there).... How can I get this on a DVD? MUST HAVE.... this is probably the baddest groove and best live performance I've heard for many years.... Can U help me how to get this concert. I'd die to hear it all....

[TheMrSchack]

OMFG - this is AWESEOME! Thx, Bobfunk. Never heard a live version of this track so funky. Going to Me'Shell concert here in Copenhagen 3 February. Actually my first Me'Shell concert - despite the fact that I've listened to her for more than 10 years - almost every day.

THIS version is pure joy. They're having sooo much fun. Dyson - u just got yourself a new fan. Cool drummer. Nice guitarist. Awesome ('Hancock-inspired') keyboard dude - and Me'Shell the one and only = a true rythm godess!

[Chalenger303]

@TheMrSchack Yes, I agree 100%. The keyboardist, you can definitely hear "Hancock" shadows within that solo. Especially around 7:48. He and the bassist give a little shout to Hancock's "4AM" from Herbie's album "Mr. Hands."

[Silaxian]

They ought to have called themselves the BMFs this night.

[socoberto]

wow...el mejor groove que he escuchado en la semana...me'shell: ¿por qué no vienes a méxico?

[stevaneee]

Thumbs up 4 David Dyson. He`s killing! Love meshell!!

[100287481]

6:15 to 6:45 was 30 seconds of heaven!! The way she slapped and moved her head and body .....

[hoffus]

Dammmmmm it. The band is just crushin' it from all angles. The keyboard player has a real Herbie Hancock thing goin on the Rhodes or whatever he begins his solo on. I mean that as a serious compliment - in the way he moves around with the clean polymodal effect. Saw this band in 99 in Seattle and was so tight and soulful just like this. Great post and thanks. This gives me a great memory of that show.

[Checkmate20k]

so funky meshell is a very underated bass player

[GregManningMusic]

David!

[newdawn69]

Too funky!!! Notice the 'Rage Against The Machine' sticker on her bass

[nicafirefighter]

Alfredo Mojica at his best with Meshell as a Percussionist. Amazing. I saw them in Concert at the House of Blues and at the Whisky in L.A. They really kicked ass.

[SHOJMPR42]

there should be more concerts like this where Meshell jams together with another bassist. Dyson's style blends well with her but so does Marcus Miller he is equally good just different. I wish she would jam with Mark King that would be amazing

[basicbruno]

The keyboardest made me throw up in my throat he was so COLLLDDDDDDD!! New ICE!!!

[fonkay1]

Do you have an MPEG 4 on this video for uploading to ipod?

[ivandanu]

I like Dyson's better than marcus miller..dunno why..More funk and groovy as hell!

[cathridge]

Bass player's pick-ups are too hot. Damn. He sounds like he's slapping when he's only playing with his fingers.

[HammondB200]

Marcus Miller has that too but nobody seems to care about that...

[Captain2Pig]

she, not he

[cathridge]

Im talking about the main bass player not Me'Shell.

[nolaguru]

Man, they sound like they're having fun!

[Chyle69]

Who's that MF playing bass behind her? Too funky! I mean, she's really bad too. Great clip. The keyboard solo is killing me too.

[bobfunk11]

That's the incomparable Dave Dyson my friend!

[funkateer64]

The bassplayer behind Me'Shell is the greatest Funkiest Slapping Groove Monster Mr.David Dyson!!!!

He's VERYVERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nuklad]

@Chyle69

Mean bass by all means!

[Chalenger303]

DAMN! It makes no sense to be that DAMN FUNKY!!! That was was tight as shit!!!

[funkbassboom]

omg so good

[fingazfunk]

Just what do I do with a groove this vicious!!

[TerryGissing]

[mildseven2006]

How could they be SITTING to this?! Damn!

[GoggleEyedOne]

the breakdown at 6:50 is sublime.

[brandobean]

this is just sick. I wish I could get a video of this whole show, or at least a good MP3. Are there any soundboards from this tour around?

[Rambo29]

I love how the audience is dancing

[tsiggy]

drop-down-funk

[manybothans]

holy moley! this is unbelievable! where did you get this?

[bobfunk11]

I worked at this gig (Montreux Jazz Festival) for ten years

[Mopreme75]

is there any way you can put up when she did "The way" at this festival

[funkseen]

meshell is just amazing with her groove she proper feels it out along with the brilliance of david dyson the combination is sick .

[FlowJazz]

[footy104]

[canvoodoo]

[bobfunk11]

You also need to be David Dyson :)

Bob

[canvoodoo]

[r3ality1]

Meshell is IT! What a soul...

[dskiraider]

bobfunk11, like your style. Diggin' your video library. That was sheeit in the early mid 90s

[FlowJazz]

She's THE ONE ! Can't get enough of Frederico Gonzales Peña. What a great band, Dyson is bad too. I won't even talk about Allen Cato = a magician.

[plproduction]

Love it

[bobfunk11]

Clearly a man of excellent taste
