[pianoplayer1224]

I was like.. wow awesome shit. When they took it to the swing part and back instantly, i was like.. FUCKINGOMGLOLSHITFUCK!?

[prettyboy1970]

Victor fired off his entire arsenal of "beyond mere mortal" techniques in this performance. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "shock  & awe"!

[Fluffhea8d]

You finished?

uh yea?

we aint finished.

you da man!

[lEMGl]

The audience is like. This is no skeet bop boo shit. lol it is the typical reaction to new talent.

[misterelryano]

[wernsels]

6:15 made me laugh so hard xD

[PjetDevjet]

a flawless masterpiece..

[alpha1shadow]

the best music black people ever invented.

[akypar]

09:48 JD possessed by satan for a sec!

[ramidak0s]

"Take it across the water..." Just right! Just feels right! Yeah!

[SpaceRitual]

What could be outstanding about a bass player?

[nubsey03]

@SpaceRitual cock

[SpaceRitual]

@nubsey03 Did you watch the video at all? 0:59 I'm quoting the condescending intro Victor gets. I am a bassist, FYI.

[willwelsh816]

JD reminds me of Sly Stone for some reason lol

[doodle8709]

Mr bass and watch, thank you very much :)

[doodle8709]

What effect does victor use at 7:07? I really want it

[MrBassAndWatch]

@doodle8709 It's just simply an "Octive Pedal" u can buy them anywhere =)

[dkleitsch]

@doodle8709

It sounds more like a Digitech Whammy Pedal, not an octave divider.

[HardManAndres]

FUNKY BASS IN DAH HOUSE YEH BABY! that part always cracks me up!

[lberg14]

They need to play this video in schools, teach kids 'bout them James Brown breaks.

[bigemoney31]

This is how tight every rhythm section should be! I love how JD is such an amazing drummer and he only plays bass drum, snare, high hat, and a few symbols!

[inbass666]

in this video does not exist dislike button

[traholgar]

the ultimate funkyness!

[TheBlackwoolf]

[tofi21]

my heart will always belong to the OX john entwistle r.i.p, but  this is fun.

[streetzack]

lol @ 5:01

[DirtyBillClinton]

THE GROOVE IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE



[BassAce47]

0 dislikes = just the way it should be

[affajojo]

should one conceited guitarplayer say the bass is no solo instrument...

[PaulRattlehead]

I know they are different styles and instruments but this makes that Andy Mckee "drifiting" video look retarded by comparison.... Victor's right hand technique is unriveled

[passionbass]

these guys are hving most fun ever

[rockeur411]

Lou Rawls lolll

[Stinkbeaner]

"U Can't Hold No Groove Better Than This.!"

[CherryConcrete]

Victor is my absolute hero

[metallicatsa]

probably the sweetest groove i have ever heard !!!



[WildGrooveMaker69]

damn,i would kill to have even 1/1000 of his groove...

and btw. - does somebody else think that with hand like this it's better to be single ?

[petersktet]

@WildGrooveMaker69 well if ya weren't single I'd be guessing someone would be feeling pretty lucky about tehmselves ;)

[Jaldegren]

06:15 LOL

[SuperBobbass]

that's how 2 people sound like a whole band!!!!!

[mpnickisher]

This is THE BEST version of this song I've ever heard!

...it's MY personal favorite anyway.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one hosting it.

\m/

[paulrouseinspain]

This is guaranteed to put a smile on my face, love it, thank you

[liennto]

[PierChinelli]

they look like 2 clowns, but pro clowns

[jaroldo007]

[REllisMusic]

5:03 - lol 

[Icancount47q]

6min 15 secs, that was mad creepy sounding coming from the drummer

[Ryzzix]

Victor is the only one putting his thumb down.

[Zarrinkoub]

[WildGrooveMaker69]

you just cant be more groovy than this

[Akyho]

NOOOOOO!!!!! THE ALL FUNKY END IS CUT NOO!!! AWWW FUNK NO!

[Zarrinkoub]

@Secruss Not anymore bro!

[petersktet]

What pedal is Victor using to do the record/repeat thingy? keep on falling in love with it :)

[foderahead]

@petersktet Not too sure about this video, but these days Vic uses the Boss RC 50 loop station. I have seen him twice in the last year and his loops sound better than ever.

[petersktet]

@foderahead great thanks a bunch :D

[sumsum19911]

gooo victaaaa :D

[puscifer1982]

Almost too funky :)

[oghale101]

Greatest Bassist Ever!

[chazwagg]

The emphasis is on victor and im a massive fan of his but as bass player, JD is an awesome drummer

[z1rys]

@chazwagg Awesome drummer indeed, what really makes these two guys amazing in my opinion is the chemistry between them, it's not like regular musicians who wants to be "the best" all the time, these guys are playing music for what it is, and makes it groovy and manages to keep amazing communication between eachother. This is coming from a metalhead xD

But as you said, JD is an awesome drummer indeed!

[JayLovePlaysGuitar]

lol i randomly started crying 

[knochi23]

damn sounds like there are 3 bass players...

[g3warrior]

and no one's dancing again... why?

[mcc072653]

anybody know what kind of loop pedal he uses??

[JJ26able]

@mcc072653 Boss RC-50

[Delta1382]

amazing the music you can create with a bass guitar, drum set, and some pre-recorded voices

[314313546]

btw

"YO VICTOR!!!!!!"

"Yea, J.D."

"WHATSO-EVA U DO I WANT U TO REMEMBA THIS HERE!"

"Yea?"

"U CAINT HOLD NO GROOVE IF U AINT GOT NO (POCKET?)"

now THAT'S some funky ass shit

lol

[314313546]

i lol'd at the BET logo with the Japanese writing next to it and under it in the intro

i just thought "Black-Japanese Entertainment Television" lol

[yamakasko]

someone knows the effect that Victor uses from 07:10?

[lavaxtris1]

@yamakasko sounds like a digitech whammy for bass.

[crazzycarrot]

Is there any possible way I can get this version in MP3 format??

[kissoh]

@crazzycarrot Just type in "kiss" in the URL before youtube. Works on every movie. If you don't get what I meen, just google "kiss youtube" and click the first link.

[Roobitz]

@crazzycarrot video2mp3 add-on for firefox works for me

[zino93190]

TOUCHDOOOWN!!!!! VICTOR WOOTEN!!!!

[lovesthebass]

Simply the best "U Can't Hold No Groove" video out there.

[Wholoveschickens]

on the one!!!!! bootsy ftw

[Mikestingray]

the dynamics for the drums and bass are superb... wooten and blair are an amazing combo

[DandD27]

Im wonderin why I dont hear massive applause

[joejoeyvb]

you gotta love Lou Rawls and how he announces Victor

[kkk7hh]

omg thats the reaaalllll gangsta shit yeeeeeahhhhhhh:)

[AdRocktheFifth]

Amazing.... WOOT!!!

[lordofemeralds]

I can see why victor says for him JD Blair is the best drummer in the world Oo

[MisterMR44]

You just gotta love Lou Rawl's intro for Victor Wooten! "Folks, I'm talkin' about Mrs. Wooten's son, Victor Lamont Wooten... Heyyy buddy, come on, do it to it... yeeah!"

[MuzicJunky01]

sometimes he just sounds better with drums tagging along

[nomidubidabi]

oh, i was missing this video badly. thanks for having it up again :)

[ChainsawFace]

@nomidubidabi I'm not the user who had this posted previously. I used to watch this all the time and when it was taken down I was crushed. I hunted around the internet and found another copy of it, so glad I did.

[nomidubidabi]

@ChainsawFace Yeah, I realized that when I saw there's some quality degradation because of another round of reencoding. But what counts is that it's up again, so thanks :) Anyway, now that Youtube has upped the limit from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, what about uploading it again, so the end doesn't get cut off? :)

[calimachos123]

@ChainsawFace yaaaaaayyy :D

[Stinkbeaner]

@ChainsawFace This is one of the greatest funk associated videos ever <3 Thanks for the extra uppload

[TheMiskonja]

@ChainsawFace thank you so much man !!!!

[jareds1007]

@ChainsawFace yeah, you're definitely making a LOT of people happy man....thanks.

[Pajazzify]

@ChainsawFace You are the man, this is so great!

[krnxaja]

dang, the end got cut off... still funk-ay!

[RedBloodyBee]

they finally put this video again! thank god!

[pownjhell]

I could have one hundred pockets, and still wouldn't be able to hold down that groove
