[krautred]

perfect ....



[wesgibbens]

I'm pretty sure you're referring to Billy Martin's Pandeiro (Brazilian tamborine with a skin on). Highly recommended instrument for groove playing

[naadmati]

Ne csinálja...

307

[SignalPathAudio]

Eargasm. 

[HagamosCine]

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Here...you´ll see...a bunch of amazing musicians playing and enyoing music like children! What a joy to my ears

[statelybird3]

Cool---I've always loved this song---first I ever heard by them back in 1995---finally got the CD the other day just before I left a record store---the funny thing is, I wasn't even looking for it, and spotted it by accident while bending down to get a stool! Their sound,to me, has always been reminescent of the famous 1960's organ jazz player Jimmy Smith, whom I grew up listening to courtesy of my aunt. Saw them live at the Ford Jazz Festival in Detroit 2 years ago---they didn't play this tune.

[hamdelsun]

they so obviously enjoy what they do,,,,hard for me, not to LOVE it toooooo

[trogular]

i have utter respect for medeski's achievement of playing exactly what he wants but always wonder if he's addicted to distortion the way i am, say, to bread

[coast881]

john's dirty rough aggressive hammond timbre perfectly fits with his unique style and whole band groove.

beautyfull!!!!!!

[CaptainCavemaan]

2:22 - 2:26 hahaha I love you Billy Martin.

[valleysofneptune]

I saw them back in 2002, and the were intastella!!! they did a version of FIRE by Jimi Hendrix , that i only recognised 10 mins into the tune....and im a big Hendrix fan!!! love MM + W

[bakazzz02]

they're playing their socks...!!

fucking awsome!!!!!

[danashane]

Hey, is this from a dvd and, if so, whwere can i find it? The video/audio recording is excellent and mmw is best live. thx

[knarfbrechbein]

Jazz is not dead it just smells a little bit funny funny. f.zappa

[basehead617]

Billy seems sloppy here, go back and listen to the record - his playing is about 10x better.. this needs a more machine precision, imo.. the beat is relentless on the album..

[leffy123]

the gear doesnt matter so much on the drums but for the key board player it does

[cranston19]

greatest trio of all time

[shastakeys]

6:00 to 6:22...that dreamy part on the hammond is so Sweet...stroking the beast gently...awesome

[shastakeys]

6:00 to 6:12...that dreamy part on the hammond is so Sweet...stroking the beast gently...awesome

[cuenco78]

que sonzêra, locoooo!!

...

great sound, these guys make seems easy to play it

[bearddragon]

I love seeing billy's cymbal at 2:40 It is very delightful.

[seminole188]

@loshmebree and @catphish454

definite negative, ghostrider. this is the lover.

[mynamesrickjames]

is it normal to pop a boner after hearing this beauty? is there a doctor in the crowd?

[LoshMeeBre]

GREAT video, but isn't this "Is there anybody here that loves my Jesus"? Listen to the bassline, you could recognize it easely (or is it just me? XD)

[catphish454]

@LoshMeeBre yup...good call sir..

[tboawaha]

@LoshMeeBre no, that's the lover

[bzimm18]

I would give up anything I had to play the drums like Billy Martin!

[Jstratton11]

i just cummed in my pants after watching this

[xanderlev1]

Really the best ambassadors for America. Really. How can people hate us when we've got music like this? Also ambassadors for New York, dammit.

[JonnyLikesPie]

Billy with the flawless machine like groove AND the squeeze birds at the end FTW!

[tristramshandy3]

If there is a nationally known band with a better rhythm section, I really want to know about it...until that day happens, I declare Wood and Martin the best bass/drummer combo going in 2010.

[bigrecestudio]

I will watch your show on thursday. Good luck !!!!! Chicao xx

[zaifro]

tahnk you MMW!!!!!!

Fernando Cifrodelli

[yeatscrum]

Billy has a huge grin the whole time...classic. And Chris always looks like he's having tantric sex with his bass.

[festivalchild]

haha true

[foolsgoldsoma]

that is hot.

[fuckparliament]

they kill it....i agree martin is sick as fack

[Dupster1234]

hese boys are fuckin insane best ever

[Tsmithohio]

i love the cracked cymbal.

[greenfruitface]

I saw them a few nights ago. I literally could not believe my ears. It was so amazingly good. I think Billy Martin is probably the most talented drummer I've ever seen live. He played a four piece kit, and ONE cymbal, which was so refreshing. He also broke out a tamborine, and absolutely killed on it. I've never heard anyone play a tamborine like that!

[Tsmithohio]

i know what you're talking about on the tambourine. i saw them live in september and my jaw dropped when he went to the tambourine when they played "amber gris".

[78jjackson]

@greenfruitface lol he does rage the tambourine

[elenielizabeth]

@greenfruitface Check out the youtube video of them called "secret session." Billy plays a tambourine and fucking wrecks with it. He's amazing

[Tsmithohio]

possibly one of the funkiest songs ever to be performed.

[MrGeoffreyBarlow]

Oh, Man.

[illnastic]

Anybody know any other jambands with this style?  I really like this music...

[skunkfunk89]

MMW have their own sound, but these bands are kinda funky jazz too: Robert Walter's Super Heavy Organ, John Scofield, Charlie Hunter, ULU, The Bad Plus, Garaj Mahal (and The Fareed Haque Group. Theres a lot more hit me up and I'll drop some more names, I just hate typing

[electrobutter]

my band future dog is heavily inspired by these guys, similar grooves and instrumentation, but a bit more electronics. check out the vids on my channel!

[ConnorShawMusic]

dropper

[ubiquitybluebike]

MMW are unique, but try: Garage a Trois Emphasizer + Outre Mer Soulive Turn it out Robert Walter Super Heavy Organ Stanton Moore III + Emphasis! (On Parenthesis) Zony Mash Brand Spankin New + Live in Seattle Galactic Coolin Off + Crazy Mongoose Skeriks Syncopated Taint Septet Husky Will Bernard Blue Plate Special + Party Hats Orgone Killion Floor The Bad Plus The Bad Plus T.J. Kirk If Four Was One + Talking Only Makes It Worse Charlie Hunter Mistico

[Irrlidan]

well warning: its dangerously funky at 6:48

[randomlightningman]

another warning: its dangerously funky at 0:00 to 8:33

;)

[wheresthebeefheart]

My favorite part has always been the breakdown @ 3:30. Guess I'm a sucker for the minor 6th.

[randomlightningman]

that is some tight sh-t son!

[AOXOMOXO]

Where this leaves off , "New Planet" takes off:

See the vid:

Medeski Martin & Wood New Planet

Same show....?

[propagandagroup]

Warning: It gets dangerously funky at 0:26

[tilmondo]

Thanks for the hint, uh, warning :)

[ericscigliano]

este tema me pone como loco!!!

[DonBartholomeo89]

6:48 =)=)

[sd12swizzleg]

4:50-4:53. i love that drum fill. it lines up with the off beat that the organ does.

[ComradeCrusty]

I rewound it just to listen to that part. Sweetness. It's almost like they know what they're doing huh?

[hydroameca]

lol too much ride cymbal my ass, I'd like to see you guys roll with Billy

[ackeiswetter]

My this is one of my favorite tunes they do as far as the bass goes, bummer you can't hear it

[sstamb]

i dunno i can hear it.

[wtfomfgrofl]

my drum inspiration

[juakbatero]

vamos carajooooooooooooooooooooooo

[ledlemos08]

fuck!

[wmupton]

Bass needs to be much louder!

[flingflang1]

yes indeed - a bass player myself, I wanna hear that offbeat thump.

[ccezar84]

im posting my new pics

[ambientgreg]

I just noticed the ride cymbal is split wide open.

[skunkfunk89]

I'm no drummer but maybe thats part of that chanky drum sound he likes so much

[skunkfunk89]

less sustain on the cymbal

[17sleep]

cavemans got his native groove on jajaja nah jk hes awsome very creative unique style.

[festivalchild]

the finest jams around = MMW & MSMW

[bezblech]

Billy Martin - 6:48 :-) just amazing

[justinsmeyer]

Ri-goddamn-diculous.

[1zappa]

That groove in the beginning was so tight.

[mattnyr]

Oh my god yes, right when billy kicks into that groove, phenomenal. And the grinding organ from medeski is so sick.

[mdc333]

gotta love martin's intro...too bad wood is so silent :/

[thechipmunkman87]

I dare someone to find something that grooves harder than this.

[kyleblane]

Who knew that the one of the Geico Cavemen could play drums?

[seminole188]

thats so terrible...billy is the man.  i can see how one might think that, but i don't like it

[kyleblane]

Oh, I completely agree... Billy is the freakin' amazing! But in this video (and a few others where he has his facial hair like this) he looks like one of the cavemen to me.

[1zappa]

That's so funny!! I was holding my side when i read your comment. You're gonna get a lot of flack for that.

[mattmccarthymusic]

more bass

[Oladipo5]

see kids, it's not about the gear, it's what you can do with it.

[mattmccarthymusic]

well said

[DoubleLLL]

@Oladipo5 Yeah but the whole band has sick gear anyway...

[Goos3Man22]

@Oladipo5 I'd hate to see your idea of "gear"

[juvenarija]

@Oladipo5 LOL, your words are so comforting....

[ConnorShawMusic]

@Oladipo5 agree all the way! I may have to quote that :)

[aclarkedesign]

@Oladipo5 they roll around with top notch gear.

[ilbertG]

my friends that is the tightest beat ive ever heard

[festivalchild]

billy's facial expressions are almost as badass as his grooves

[prodigy24]

no doubt

[FatherSars]

can't feel the bass aye? you're supposed to feel it!

just playin man, i don't think there would be anything wrong with turning him up a bit.

[highway234]

awesome. and i agree, bring up that bass!

[CJalbs]

this would be perfect if the bass was a little louder. his lines are great

[Pieroncino]

Ciao dall'Italia! Ho trovato questo video molto interessante! Io faccio il compositore ed autore musicale e questa musica mi ha fascinato! Complimenti!

[TheHumannBee]

This is sweet but it sucks that the bass is so hard to hear.

[walleye71]

three people one soul.

[fredycamelo]

...those guys are the best!!!

[wizardmix]

of all the jam bands, these are the only ones that keep me coming back. It's fun to watch Chris try to keep pulling John and Billy down to earth.

[FruscianteLennon311]

I love these great sounds man! I saw these guys live once, tis was beautiful!

[jesamani75]

fuuuuuunkyy!!!!

[Dawiha]

I think it's very fitting that he's using a cracked cymbal.

[daveyjoe1]

is this song from "Friday Afternoon in the Universe"?

[phishiscool]

yeah. first track

[pastor1us]

amazing band. just amazing

no one grooves like billy martin

[Dawiha]

I agree Medeski's a absolute prodigy when it comes to those keys.

[koulios]

i think john medeski is a genius.

his IQ must be over 200

[aifcee]

What's great about these videos is that you get to see up close the way these fab musicians play... exceptional ! I just wish they'd come to Paris more often...

[aclarkedesign]

my favorite mmw song..

[aikidoka00]

Friday Afteroon in the Universe

[Summelduple]

It's amazing yeah. They're all fantastic muscicians.

[johnielsen08]

awesome, this has always been my fav MMW tune, old school

[fredycamelo]

hasta pollito tocaron estos locos!!!! que buenos musicos.

[lacholiarrepentida]

los mejoressss

[coronablurr]

wow billy martin...wow

[yemmw]

Is there a torrent of this anywhere?

[imoluscos]

Hello. i dowloaded wth a p2p program called "Emule". I hop you can find it

[ColonelForbin369]

Phonaminal intro, great song, Martin needs a medal for his perfection!

[slay797]

Love the MMW, MArtin is one of my favorite drummers of all time.

[4StringsofThunder]

Wish they put that whole show out on DVD! Could these guys get any better!

[attitudecg]

f*cking awesome intro

[dutchoven32]

what a sick opening to the lover, thanks for this

[skinnyloukingston]

Damn what a nice groove. Great video, too. Ese grupo es de la puta madre!

[illyB4life]

Very nice with the MMW uploads imoluscos. If you have more from this show
