Jack Bruce-Bird Alone

[Vadhin]

ohhh...Epic!

[gillan5]

I bought the DVD from this concert which I saw live back then. Guess what: Bird alone is not featured on the DVD! - Idiots.

[Trowerblues]

It was via this very upload that I discovered this amazing song in the first place but I have now uploaded the full 12 minute version for all to see :) Thanks

[junkdrum]

Dayum! When Billie kicks in it's like a karate chop to the gut.

[Victorwater]

what is year is this?

[AceInTheWhole94]

purely amazing bass player , songwriter , singer and person

[Trowerblues]

Great song, I actually have part of this concert on DVD but this song ain't on it! Jack Bruce's solo work is criminally underrated.

[bentpolski]

Is Jack playing a Spector Bass here?

[SouthernPride76]

@bentpolski I believe it is a Warwick bass,i know he has been playing them for awhile now,that along with the Gibson SG bass..Warwick and Spector have similiar brand logos on the neck

[Hamerguy68]

@SouthernPride76 That is a Spector Bass. Warwick didn't exist yet in 1980.

[kidigus]

@bentpolski it's a Warwick "Thumb" bass.

[bruceisjack]

@kidigus warwick was founded in 1982...this concert is from 1980

[kidigus]

@bruceisjack You're right; the numbers don't lie. It sure as hell looks like a Warwick.

[chrismans]

@kidigus Its a specter

[proctor940]

@chrismans Yes Spector. At first I thought it was the old Ibanez Musician.

[gillan5]

Fast part has an odd time signature. Jack is one of a kind. Great band. I have their LP with this song on it.

[adameats]

I was trying to figure out the time signature..and just realized that its all in 4/4 the whole time...but Billy divides the 16 beats into 9, 7, 9, 7...eureka!

[gillan5]

@adameats Thank you

[Napajazz]

Was 17 when saw this last time live in Autrian TV. No video recorder that time. Wonderful musicans and music. Thanks you for posting such rare things! Love it!

[janicewilsonify]

Sends me to heaven. Mr. Wonderful Jack Bruce. Your integrity so deep and real makes me want to cry with relief that such a person as you exists.

[triptoheaveandho]

hes so good and this video is so great it about gave me a heart attack love jack fo eva

[joninwakey]

I remember seeing this concert on Rockpalast - who'd forget the shirt Jack was wearing lol. I video'd on one of the original brick like vhs machines and watched it so many times it chewed up the tape. Glad I've found it again, brilliant.

[PwnCakes1337]

jack bruse is god

[varanza100]

he is a man like you and me,but a genias artist,I dont like personal cult,Ive be born and grown up in a communist country,and they celebrated honecker like a god,I hadet him from the bottom of my heard.When I see jacks face,he looks like very handsame peaseful man.Pease

[HarmaaHirvonen]

Thanks for showing this video...Clem Clempson (on guitar) is playing excellently as always

[stefan103]

I like what he was trying to do but don't feel he hit the mark with his jazz music - or non-rock stuff. Interesting but too indulgent. I prefer the simplicity of his Cream songs, especially "we're going wrong".

[gigidelaparte]

Este é um dos maiores baixistas de todos os tempos. Saudades do Cream

[phs9452]

i saw this band 7 times back in 1980. one of jack;s best!

[janeythebrit]

what a beautiful intro........i adore his voice

[emmadet]

I love this dude. The voice, the songs, the attiude. He can say whatever he pleases about Zep, so what? It's all good. AC/DC said about Plant & co: "a nice rocknroll band, but the singer's a bit of a bullshit artist"

[gillan5]

Erstaunlich, daß Jack (selber nicht der "technichste Bassist) es mit seiner Musikalität immer wieder schaffte mit Superleuten wie Mc Laughlin, Cobham etc. super zu spielen.

[funejhonej]

Wieso erstaunlich? Der Mann ist Legende und ein Vollblutmusiker! Kein Wunder, dass er nur mit den excellentesten "Kollegen" auftritt!

Wenn Dir seine Fähigkeiten am Bass nicht zusagen, dann lass Dich doch über seine ungeheure und emotional wuchtig rübergebrachte Stimme betören!

Liebe Grüße

[funejhonej]

Mein Gott, das ist ja der absolute Hammer! Nach diesem Ausschnitt vom Rockpalast - vermutlich von 1980 - fahnde ich schon seit Jahren!

Bin vor Freude komplett aus dem Häuschen! Ich habe selten besseres von Jack Bruce erlebt!

Danke crissy!

[leddhed]

Obviously, the pathetic words of a marginal artist, rendered irrelevant, by Jimmy Page's work many, many, years ago. A sad bitter little man.

[JHallia]

You would be referring to Bruce's recent comments towards Led Zeppeiln? Yes, that smacks of bitterness to me as well, which I really don't understand coming from an artist as accomplished as JB is. Bruce with Page could have been some really interesting music. What a shame it never happened.

[slightlyperturbedmax]

Not a marginal artist. Nice try though.

[stillphil]

damn !

[drumsanddrumming]

Wonderful song. Jack`s voice is so powerful.

[yescure6]

you're soo right janeythebrit hah :)

he's so good, when was that?

[janeythebrit]

gawd ...i LOVE this man .....that VOICE , the passion , the power....SEXY package

[losttribedreams]

A big thanks to chrismans once again for great Bruce video. The only time I ever got to see the man was with this particular band. What a show it was. In Santa Monica. Jack's mic died on one song, I was halfway back, and I swear you could still hear that powerhouse of a voice above Cobham and crew.

[msjekhd]

warum gibt der autor kein konzertdatum an ?

m.rumpf

[lekkerebek]

Konzert gab es vor ungefähr 25 jahre in der Rockpalast-Nacht, die Band war vom feinsten: Jack Bruce: Bass und Gesang, David Sancious: Keyboards, Billy Cobham: Drums und Clarence Clemons auf Gitarre, wenn ich mich nicht irre!!

[msjekhd]

Hi, - ja, das muss wohl 1983 gewesen sein.

Billy hat da ein Riesen Set aufgefahren ...
