Medeski Martin & Wood the dropper

[bone7112000]

I hear Medeski gives one hell of a back rub too...

[SFuNk24]

Is he playing clav or hand percussion?!? Madness!!

[Seishinbunretsusho]

More like John Shredeski.

[hisvorpalsword]

Is Medeski playing the keys or mincing parsley?

[tjovaughn]

GAWD GAWD GAWD GAWD so great.

[taylordavis1234567]

I bet Medeski would be an awesome locksmith the way he chops them keys!

[pk923482]

You know how cows have like three stomachs? John Medeski has 3 brains.

[superjay42]

@pk923482 Yes! And Chris has four souls and Billy has two hearts, because if any one of them is a Time Lord, it's Doctor illyB. Only time-traveling across dimensions and space can explain those rhythms.

[smpaudio]

He makes that Clav roar.

[daddybug101]

Holy Mother of Hammond B-3, even if it isn't

[hamdelsun]

tearin' it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chUchOLacazEttE]

Two thoughs that have come to me listening to this Medeski solo: First, sometimes i think the band should be called MEDESKI martin and wood. Secondly, sometimes i think everything has already been done in music.

[mulotwo]

Oh yeahhhh !!

[JamesSwisherMusic]

Go John!! Clav through a Wah into vintage guitar amp...gotta love it!!

[TROLLOLOLDISLIKE]

you are so gay. Who listens to this kind of music anyway!?

[rocknrollman123]

@TROLLOLOLDISLIKE You find solace in what music you enjoy, you become humbled by the ability to accept other sounds, let's hope you can just enjoy your nickelback without harassing this crowds beautiful groove.

[MrFunkifyurlife]

Wow! Wish i had a clavinet, and could play it like that!

[Goos3Man22]

2:23 is an Orga(n)sm

[imbilicus]

medeski at his finest

[MCMLXXXtoINFINITY]

these guys blew my mind @ Memphis in May 2000!

[wdonelan]

Whats the date for this?

[danslatente]

someone tell me how he can do that on the keyboard please. The only reason I picked up guitar too was so I could wah wah. I could never do it on the keyboards. If I were able to do it, that would be the only instrument for me oh baby baby please

[Harvesterofmetal]

@danslatente You can use a wah wah pedal on keyboards, that's a fact. A friend of mine used to do this and it was a pleasure to hear the warmth of organ bursting with the wah effect :) ! It's pretty common in funk actually.

[danslatente]

@Harvesterofmetal If only I could get my hands on one...

[ConnorShawMusic]

@danslatente nice delay pedals like a DD-2, envelope filters(AKA wah wahs) and sometimes he throws modulation and/or pitch shifters!! another great player who uses keys with effects is the Keyboardist of Mars Volta and The Escape Artist! :)

[skk0920]

most talented trio in 20 years

[kick3nick3]

1:36 is so nasty!

[protatoesable]

the melting point of my face was well surpased

[egdirt]

wow!

[YouthOobe]

it just takes something vvvvvery cool to fight back this fucking dogday.

[Bennyslot]

JIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ JI JI JI JI JI JIZZZZZ THE BEST BAND EVER JIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

[bats87129]

when Medeski starts playing slap chop with the keyboard it's all over

[teknastyk]

W O W ... this is one of the sickest keyb. solos I've ever heard

[2245DRUMMER]

i have come to conclusion that medeski martin and wood are the three funkiest musicians alive today.

[YouthOobe]

@2245DRUMMER YOU BET. latest stuff is no more worth the deal, though.

[buewgewstmeiers]

holy shit

[ngc5914]

1:37

IT DROPS!

[ILOVERACHELBROD]

Life trip

[Goos3Man22]

at 2:23 he has a b3gasm

[ricel1992]

@Goos3Man22 thats actually a hohner d6, not the b3

[2245DRUMMER]

@Goos3Man22 to bad he's playing the clavinet, not the B3

[kingcrimson234]

@2245DRUMMER whatever it is, half the keys don't work anymore after that solo.

[Froebs]

That is a MEAN shuffle

[jazzhopin]

Tightest band ever, three men one consciousness.

[squabs217]

how did that Clavintet not melt ?

[willowperson]

Dam...wish they were looking for a guitarplayer and i had a chance to jam with them.

[ohthedaysofyore]

@willowperson

John Scofield beat you to it. :)

[willowperson]

@ohthedaysofyore

Well...guess i can live with their tasteful choice ;)

Still wouldn`t mind a session...

[samthekatalyst]

john medeski has crazy hands

[Wally773MTG]

understatement of the century

[Tsmithohio]

dude...

[MrPj74]

that was pretty damn good

[coreeiin]

wow, excelente!!

[tuckerplowden]

damn.....has music from three dudes ever been so GREAT

[md770]

Those guy's shoot their load in your ear pussies!

[GeneLattanzi]

LMFAO!!!!

[md770]

This song makes me want to ghostride my whip!!

[WolfmansBrother321]

3:36 . Damn, my consciousness just expanded a little.

[ironlionzionBrian]

see 'ski puy on the O face at 2:20

gettin a chubby listening

[maestro48239]

wow! this was so i good i just popped a boner

[crazymigit182]

i've never seen anyone RAPE a wah-clav so hard. SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

[rebargnome]

the keyboard jam @1'36" is incredible

medeski rocks!

[pascal3121]

Un bien agréable moment !!

Merci pour ce post..

[demonology101]

Medeski looks like a robot

[TheJazzstorm]

my mind is rollin everytime i listen to these guys!the best experimental,funky, trippy jazz trio ever!

[cloaca1234]

OMG

[irie1tes]

just SPANKIN that D6

[nadirsharav]

Warning: Funkyness is at maximum level.

[daPsychopomp]

buckle up...

[tommyhensonbr]

where is this taking place?

[KotzePisse]

i love every second of this video

[daPsychopomp]

if you really wanna fly, hear this 'the dropper' by marc ribot with MMW - utter LSD-laden pellucid electric brilliance

[daPsychopomp]

nm, they removed it, friggin copyright/privacy laws (all the laws of man are blatantly artificial and stupidstupidstupid)

[daPsychopomp]

i feel like dropping with them, almost there ...

[skunkfunk89]

that'd be the day

[1snazzyg8r]

It's a jungle in here, or I guess in there. I saw these guys live in 95 and 96- simply amazing mind-blowing acid jazz funk.

[jazzperc2]

This groove is perfect. It feels sooo deep and laid back. If you dont like this, you wont like ANY MMW.

[daPsychopomp]

it is gold, but these guys are so versatile and eclectic it's almost blasphemous to stereotype the musicians that are MMW

[jplew138]

Badass organ combo music for th 21st century...trippy and funky as HELL!!

[FatalToenail]

Medeski is a fucking ANIMAL holy shit!

[gretschdrummer22]

this is why i love trios....soooo good

[bcpatti3]

does anyone know if MMW has a DVD out

[Lifesuit]

Their "Note Bleu" disco comes with a DVD, but other than that...maybe pick up a Bonnaroo DVD?

[earth2willi]

I've got an unreleased disc somewhere...

[martinmedeski]

gods

[nachphenry]

shitty listner...  we must groove

[mapalejo]

shit music!

[Timmyinc44]

You are shit.

[mapalejo]

where is the music? what a real shit!

lots of shit and noise

[Lifesuit]

Yes....GOOD shit!

[martinmedeski]

philistine

[mapalejo]

farizeu! where is the music? pure shity noise!

[martinmedeski]

mapalejo, recomend me some music you believe to be better than this, then we will debate, and i will win.

[kreton420]

i notice he never listed any music that is better....

[tokenup1]

u like fucking madona tard

[BenyGrooves]

where can I get the entire video of this concert!!!! incredible!!!!, thank you so much imoluscos

[adamnewyork]

Maybe that's why Medeski's name it first.

[louarq]

uouuuu, what a piano solo... unbeliveable!

[Beelack82]

Unbelievable amazing if you are non believer.

[janc1979]

Medeski limadoooooooooo!!!

[nakim55]

So we have p-diddy & snoop dog now. I think I will hang with MM&W's for my funk.

[hellbornelfchild]

whoa trippy! these guys are pretty kewl.

[dbeckster]

He hits the thing like a freakin drum! This guy is truly inspiring!

[mudroo]

thats how Medeski plays patti cake with keyboard "patticake patticake smack my keys, ill make you do whatever the funk i please" lol

[DonBartholomeo89]

y is this so damn short =(

[fenixflat]

Maestro de maestros. supremo.... cinco estrellas

[portoqwerty]

sped up? listen..... speed alters pitch and thus alters tambre (tone) it is obviously not sped up. Don't listen with your eyes.

[ashs1988]

well said

[djsyndicate0001]

sick!

[AlamoCityCello]

I had the great pleasure of hearing Medeski's senior recital at NEC. wHAT A TALENT! BRAVO!!

[ashs1988]

I would love to see this live. these guys are heavy, Medeski is insane !

[jazzfunk777]

You totally WOULD love seeing these guys live! Do whatever you can to see them live, you won't regret it. You think Medeski is insane in this?....There's a 3,000 pipe organ in Brighton that he's going to be unleashed on in May!! It's gonna be sick!

[ashs1988]

Im there! Brighton Festival? my tickets came through the post the other day. Really excited!!

[skidog110]

Medeski is in another dimension

[mdc333]

I think these guys are fucking aliens...i dont get how human dna is possible of such groovin

[mahavishnu009]

They're probably related to Dr. Funkenstein.

[sublimephish187]

I've been to 3 mmw shows and been slightly disappointed, even though they all have their moments; just seems like he has a bunch of rediculously expensive keyboards and never really busts out, this video shows otherwise. Love it

[SeatwnsFinest]

The solo is in real time. Look at the other parts of JM's body...they are all moving less dramatically. Same with BM and CW. Crazy savages.

[sublimephish187]

he is a beast that's for sure

[Cryogenetics]

mm, the clav solo looks ridiculously fast-forwarded to me...

could just be me though?

[sublimephish187]

why's it in your favorites then...

Looks to me like they just start shaking the camera?

[Cryogenetics]

i wasn't aware that couldn't favorite things i liked the sound of?

whatever, its not the camera, but i'll just dismiss the idea

[sublimephish187]

Now that I watch it a couple more times, once the solo starts the cameras do start to look a bit goofy. So I can for sure see what you mean, such a killer breakdown

[Dizkneelande]

it does look sped up but I really don't think it is.

[blackfractals]

haha, no that's just how they play!

[spratsbelieveincod]

saw these guys in london a few years ago...blinding...this album is my top number

[litford]

very hot shit right there!

[TheHumannBee]

Omg...that's amazing

[iTan1989]

dirty dirty stuff. love medeski's fish impression when he solos. he has mastered that instrument.

[basslineage]

this is arguably one of the greatest clavinet solos of all time...actually, i don't know if that's even arguable.

[thejoerusso]

true story...

[100056255]

this is Human Expression itself

[twst1]

somehow i wind up watching this at least once per youtube "session"

;)

[andrez1199]

absolutely sick, loving the explosion around 1:35

[illyB4life]

Pwned that Clav.

[highway234]

billy martin is kickass. MMW is one of my favorite acts ever, and i'm a guitar player! i feel so left out. :(

[twst1]

bro...you've GOT to check out a show I know of with MMW joined by Trey (don't wanna seem like i'm spammin here so contact me for a URL)

I also have a great show of medeski jammin with dj logic along with warren haynes, john fishman et al. if you're interested shout...

[brianthebutterfly]

Best tone ever.

[brianthebutterfly]

Two snares ftw.

[tommygrainger]

Medeski's a wizard!

[nmerchantlasershow]

illyb!

[ilbertG]

is that groove at the beginning not the tightest ever

[voxefex]

this band makes my life a lot better.

[akgulledge]

I love this song, and it's such a clean version.

I can't help but to keep coming back to it, lol.

[aZidbLUe]

Es increible lo k hace Medeski con un teclado, me recuerda a lo k hacía Jimi Hendrix en su época, con esos solos orgásmicos k lo echan todo pa fuera. Ya me gustaría a mi poder hacer eso en mi guitarra, In-creíble.

[aifcee]

They don't call him "Fingers" for nothing... (meaning Medeski)

[clemsonfan27]

the sickest i have seen!!!! SICK!!!

[aclarkedesign]

nice.....

[Steve906]

best clavinet player ever.

[ezekielbones]

they rule!!!!

[deathcubek46n2]

esssssss

[bedtime4bonzo]

furrealz

[NotOptium]

Ridiculous.

[santacruzdemora]

ridiculous U lol are u crazy?

[NotOptium]

Ridiculously good, is what I meant by that.
