Alain Caron - Slam The Clown Live

[conralaje]

just amazing

[Devadip47]

J'ai eu la chance de lui serrer la main et de lui parler après son spectacle. Incroyable! J'ai même une photo avec lui.

[MrCobojaco]

cool lol

[MrCobojaco]

best man ton style est super tu merite le titre qu'on te donne

[leon42654]

moi aussi je l'ai vu Live il est incroyable

[fdasjfhdfds]

i quit

[fleand86]

Monster of bass!! OMG

[BedroomBassist]

He just makes it look so easy.. Unbelievable.

[77JeffT]

C'est à pleurer tellement il est bon :'(

[max9871123456]

Brilliant style & sound !!!

[sveinbjorn1]

I didn't know Ray Ramano could play the bass.

[bobfredward]

what the fuck is a malletkat? that sound is ridiculous i love it!

[JohnLMcCoy]

He has a very controlled slap technique. When I get going anyone within ten feet had better watch I don't have their eye out.

[JohnLMcCoy]

Bassists are supposed to stand at the back and play root notes on a 4 string bass - someone have a word.

[joe700700]

@JohnLMcCoy we have come a long long way from that my friend!

[MrBribass]

A true unsung hero of the bass guitar, l love marcus millers slap work but he aint a patch on this guy, the playing the writting hes the whole the real deal.

[curlybro7]

9 people are gonna get SLAMMED!

[porkyo123]

Haeat must have is action as low as you can by the speed he's playing. It sounds like low action? Love his playing!

[cypan1]

a Montreal JAzz Master great Defussed from Uzeb Alain Caron is And always will be one of the best Jazz Bass Players of all TIme . Along with stanley clark, Joco Pastorious ,Will Lee Marcus miller . And the list goes on ohyeah Ralph Armstrong from Jean luc Ponty And the list goes on And on

[zweeric]

@cypan1 don't forget Tom Kennedy!

[ChiapasZapata]

on the high C he is very scruffy... why?

I like the feeling when he gets from his solo back into the groove... he´s totally in the band - no importunate sound in the band an very smooth solo sound...

[gebass6]

@ChiapasZapata What do you mean by "Scruffy"What is a "Scruffy"sound?During the solo section I think he may have a chorus effect on.

[ChiapasZapata]

on the high C he is very scruffy... why?

[japanisefishmarket]

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS

[ChiapasZapata]

@japanisefishmarket keepvid dot com

[RAHILY1]

Круто!!! во робя заворачивают !!!

[faferlou]

J'aurais aimé ça que le xylophoneux fasse un solo.

[japanisefishmarket]

his f-bass is from hamilton

FUCK YEAH STEELTOWN

[TheCrispyDelicious]

His ring and pinky... for popping.

I never would have thought to try that.

[rogcha99]

Pas d'accord, Alain Caron est un musicien :)

[cloudy7]

Wow, I never knew Ray Romano was so good at playing bass.

[Wetter02]

Okay, Marcus Miller is officialy out of the picture.

It's now:

1 - Victor Wooten

2 - Stanley Clarke

3 - Alain Caron

They should make a album called "SAV" :P (as in Stanley, Alain, Victor)

[gabyleon]

@Wetter02 or "VASS"...Victor, Alain, Stanley Supremacy hehe

[gabyleon]

i like this guy, he's so cold so inexpressive and plays that bass with so much precission(or however that spells, i'm argentine) . great music, great interpretation

[bassbiff]

@gabyleon Haha, this isn't cold and inexpressive! It's rather funky, especially that bass solo!

[gabyleon]

@bassbiff yeah, i know and its fantastic!! but alain produces that feeling of coldness and perfection on me when he performs :) feelings may vary all along humans hehe.

regarding that list Wetter02 mencioned, dont you think Jeff Schmidt could be in it?

[leonrodr]

Muito bom!!! Parabéns!

[encounter1000]

Everything that made fusion passe so quickly.

[tomionko]

mother fuckin number one mz brother !!!! ouaaaauuu :D

[mar64fr]

So boring...it is not music. A bunch of music students who have leant their lessons and playing what they learnt at scholl. No feelings,

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

this song is TOO COOL

[darkoanton5]

@thibo62 lol

[curlybro7]

Who's the keyboardist?

[toofpick151]

well anyway, nice tune, but man their groove needs some bacon grease....something.

[poganz]

soooooooooo geil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ANDYSAXTONDOTCOM]

My favourite French man!

and one of my main influences for solo bass!

Checkout my vids if your bored!!! ;-)

[BigJplkoplko]

Anyone know where i can find a tab or score for this?

[mulotwo]

C'est énorme ! Groovy jazz !

[Prosopagnosia11]

Alain Caron is the shiznit!

[IIIXPCIII]

best bass player I've ever listen to

[gkutt5704]

would be cool to see Vic Wooten, Steve Bailey and Alain Caron play together ... or either combination!

[jonasgatto]

je suis guitariste et j'écoute alain caron...en boucle..a fonds..chaque jours...c'est le pain quotidien tu vois...

[IChoseTheRedPill]

one of the most underrated bass places out there today... ALAIN CARON is awesome...

NUFF SAID!

[MrPalimpseste]

Alain was my teacher for 2 days during a master class.

Not only a great bassist but a big musician too.

Great teacher.

thank you alain

[BassRorro]

In the Bass Solo...Alain Use any Effect rigth??

its a chorus or like this a like the EQ

This VIDEO Rulz xd

[esprite101]

I think xylophone plays in unison with bass.

[76alembic]

Its a mallet cat ,a synth controller

[TheCartoonsBand]

@BassRorro

That's def. Chorus on the bass.

The sustained low notes are in unison with the MIDI Vibraphone.

[DeceptionOfTheState]

So...much...groove...

[jazzmelodicminor77]

whats the name of this dvd i want it so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[TheBassMan533]

its from the show

cabaret de montreal

I LOVE ALAIN CARON!!! =]

[bububuvard]

Alain Caron live @ le cabaret de montréal

[XanaduMyHome]

holy shit, thats all i can say

[Eastsiderock]

HHAHAH Alain Caron beats all of your asses. Stun esti de malade!!

[moicestfog]

T'as raison en tabarnaque!

[bassramos]

Yeah people would be missing and the drummer would be falling asleep in a few months. Everyone would be mad because alain would be taking the money. DOn't do coke folks. It's not cool. Take care of yourself.

[spongia00]

big king of bass

[eurabio]

7:35 get the fuck out of here!!

[rasitux95]

E' Il Migliore

[maurice9966]

ayoye!

[pintorifrancesco]

idolo, un genio...è il più grande!!

[Lasdferret]

And the dorkiest smile goes to... Alain! But really, what an awesome dude, I think I'm gonna go buy an F-Bass now.

[Domenix71]

@Lasdferret it's not the bass, but it's the player :-)

[peppezuk]

E' un grande; visto dal vivo è incredibile.

[dianitabass]

Excelente la técnica en ambas manos!!!! :D, por eso es Alain Caron, es uno de mis ídolos.

[nico123123]

à 4:36 c'est le début d'une jouissance mes amis. Ce gars là, mérite le respect de tout les bassistes de la terre !

[peelopuu]

Check out the awesome saxophone solo

[MonsieurSteven]

C'est toujours "bien bon dans sa gueule", une compo d'Alain :)

[Nick44416]

Love this, terrific Bass and outstanding keyboard.. great inventive soloing. One of my favs on You Tube

[lefou1970]

Y'É SOLIDE EN CRISSE LE PERE

[rencharl]

Non mais...on s'entends tu qu'Alain y joue en Ta...

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

Is it Frank Blouin on the keyboards??

That's my teacher!!

[thibo62]

Yes it is!

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

OMG he kicks ass! I wasn't expecting him to play like that!

[76alembic]

DR Alain Caron;composer and bass player. To be this good took a whole lot of hard work and dedication . He was great bassist back in the 80,s with UZEB, but now he has become a composer /arranger as well. Check his big band arrangement of this song with six horns, awesome. That instrument that looks like a xylophone , is a controller, called a mallet cat.

[mmaiato]

i LOVE THIS SYNCROPATED JAZZ, ITS FUCKING AWESOME

[Future7187]

He's nuts... How many fingers does he use for popping the strings?!

[gebass6]

Chug-a bug-a,Chug-a-bug-a,Chug-a-bug-­a,Chug-a-bug-a.Nothing like slapping over sixteenth notes.Gets the blood moving!!SLAM THAT CLOWN YOU MOTHA!!

[raggacore]

Check out the mallet solo on Baby Steps.  The guy is an octopus.

[justmybass]

This guy is amazing man. i wonder how he can play such stuff so cleanly and with so little movement...

[mykolas86]

that is kicking my ass

[axemanfan]

C'est un saxophoniste en un malletkatiste, en effet.

[JMR6916]

Actually, that's a tenor sax and a xYlophone, but hey... do they rock or not? ;-)

[bigdaygroup2]

very nice video"

[ayasemusume2]

Thank you

[ayasemusume2]

ありがとう

[lilnetty2]

so,why does he have low strings? seriously, though, bass as a sonic support is totally different from this style. amazing band, just not sure why he doesnt hire a bassist to play  walking quarter notes to hold down the fort while he jerks off....

[speeveler]

Like Victor Wooten, you mean?

[lilnetty2]

or one of the bass players reading this. wild talent here,but I get the impression Caron is off time in a couple of the more complex areas. I cant play this, but can hear it. UZEB !!

"this song was writened by,,,,him"

[adrian5b]

this guy blows my mind

[adurgaram]

se manifique Alain is a monster!!!!!!!!!

he's not human but a machine

[KSquare84]

Damnnnn, so good I'm just looking for a little slap and tickle...and I found it.

[bedacoals]

This guy is one bad mother funker!

[rob101abc]

What bass is that???

[thibo62]

As said before, it's an F-bass AC signature

[lesterclaypool1]

@thibo62 i like how punchey it is and tight ,,, no what i mean ? ummm no over boomie in the bottom nice balance ,,,,

[nuclearlost]

Uzeb rules!!

[JuIsTheLaw]

What a fucking awesome song name, not to mention the music too.

[Undercurrentuk1]

this was so good i had to get naked

!

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

Wow! Il torche vraiment!

[amilzyproduction]

its so layed back, and pacy at the same time, i mean of course they shouldnt have used synthesised horns, but still really fun to listen to. thanks for posting

[pustul38]

putain alian tes le meilleur quel groove!!!!

WHAT A FUCKIN GROOVE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

the man who makes me love bass instrument

thanks for all thanks for your music

merci à toi

[blakesdad38]

That was some of the smelliest, baddest funk I've heard in a while. I held my nose it was so stinky. I absolutely dig the Midi KAT Marimba. Brilliant.

[lucadepu]

it actually was not the smell of this funk, it was the smell of your thoughts, wich are indeed the ones of an idiot.

[mdfk667]

I think the guy meant that it was a bad-ass groove, a very very good one. If that is so, I do agree that this is one hell of a good song.

[jsilence418]

I rated this awesome, cause it is! thanks for posting.

[emerzen]

oh my god

[427365may]

Fuckin nuts......love the choppin.......

[diogoarrebola]

Meu,...sem palavras!!!

Demais!!!

[lucadepu]

G CODE

[wackiirahki]

grooves like the one mr. caron plays during the keyboard solo is what i love about his playing. the man is so damn tasteful!

[KingOfPain35]

Alain rocks and so do F-basses. I wish I hadn't sold mine...

[airraidsiren82]

this is the best bass solo that i ve ever heard....alain caron is a genious and a monster of electric bass

[aronizer]

WHAT?! Is he also playing with his pink?

[thibo62]

No he doesn't! lol!

Even though we might think he does. It's just the move he make with his right hand for the double pop.

[bambamdc]

O q mais impressiona eh a tranquilidade do Alian Caron, faz ate parecer q eh facil tocar neste nivel.

[pedroelaudaz]

impresionante este tipo. Técnica, sonido, arreglos impecable. Salve!!!

[Selmer2006]

oh man thats just incredibly good!!

[sddrummer06]

un très grand musicien !!!

le son, le phrasé, très précis... c'est un enouvelle influence maintenant

[dappawap]

pas juste Caron; ils sont touts bons en masse

[siobdag]

Also issued from Qébec is Le Cirque du SOLEIL! And Celine Dion!

[AdoDog]

Just wondering, is Alain Caren a jew?

[thibo62]

??? don't think so... Why?

[AdoDog]

Just sounds like a Jewish name. Just curious.

[thibo62]

caron is a pretty common french name... nothing jewish in that...

Still don't see the point...

[siobdag]

NO A pure french Canadian living in Quèbec!

[antark1]

no such thig as a pure human

[joviga]

Este tio es IMPRESIONANTE!!!

[maurice9966]

etie de taarnak de bon joueur de bass!!!

And what a great song too...

[artartbass]

wheew \m/ alain caron rocks!!!

[AndreGrandier]

God lives

[keithpas]

;-)

[bellasawyer]

Francois, yeah!!! Good on you

[cimarc58]

Alain Caron, sì signori, ..un FENOMENO!

[ManelRuivo]

im crazy, or he doesnt uses double plucks, but TRIPLE PLUCKS?????

if it is... at least technicaly and strictly in the thumping, hes better than even wooten...

bah, im a fan of them both!!! all these guy are astoundingly fuckin amazing!!!

[mykolas86]

Hard fusion :D

[chitsevermag301]

it's fucking amazing

[Deepwatermusic]

Aye Mr. Caron.... Me favourite!!!!

[gormitaman]

goduta senza fine ! Caron sei una belva

[Selmer2006]

that riff is so cool! 6:50

[siobdag]

There are bass players , and there is Alain Caron!

[airraidsiren82]

amen for that!!! this is the best bass solo that i know,and trust me,i listen a good -not enourmus but quite good- number of fusion-jazz bass players!!... alain caron is the number one!!!!

[manubbo]

the solo reminds a lot the D-Code one from his album "Play"

[mudcatblue]

Saw Alain & Uzeb in a small Toronto club back in '81.Maybe 30 people (including Oscar Peterson)that nite & they sold their records at the door.

Mind Blowing then & still now.

Very fluent players & i'm sure Al gives huge props to guys like Jaco & Stanley still to this day.

Great Chops!!

[cooljob9]

thanks for this! Amazing Alain

[Manuel333it]

thanks for this

[crazyguy106]

Love how he makes it seem so easy...

[muppetpastor79]

i know it is beautiful technique

[lorenzini]

Great keyboard player

[SpectorRay1]

Great song, but my only complaint is the keys. They need a nice fat horn section and dump the synths.

[otep05fretboard]

whattha!!!

gift!!! \m/

[SinThomas]

If my name was Louis Walsh now I'd be saying "your trooo, you made that stage yer own" Great Band :o)

[firemetal1]

nice. check out my video of slam the clown

[zaz0665]

I saw Alain Caron in a bar in montreal, what a legend!

[visog]

Great tune - not!

Music to have teeth extracted to

[HierToker]

Whateverrrr...retard

[rosshildick]

too high brow?

[rosshildick]

although if i had to listen to a piece of music whilst having that done it would actually be this, lol. i love this track

[rogeralcantara]

oh my goodness... that was killer.

[KnowKnot]

F basses are unlike anything, anywhere. vocal, powerful, sweet, raw, anything. once a person gets his or her mind around one, they cannot be limited.

[ttr4827]

caron has the nicest six strings, they look like fodera, am i right?

[thibo62]

No, his basses are F basses, a canadian luthier

you can check out his website! pretty nice (and expensive...) basses!!!

[funkylittledreams]

yeahh like this!!...good music...!!!!

[minyzoto]

pinky slap

[slartifartbast]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this!

[uzebdrumz]

Intricate syncopation and counter rhythms. Caron at his best.

[calexanderbruff]

these guys are INSANE!!!!

[yamahahahahahahahaha]

mind blowing..............
