Nathan Hughes' Victory Blues Live

[malepanda666]

I thought he was a robot, then I realised a robot cannot have this much feeling.

[CompellingDisorder]

I need to buy this guy's music. I've looked and looked, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know where I could pick up a CD, if there is even such a thing?

[trivrock2k6]

I was at least expecting his voice to be worse, but its the same as the studio version, INSANE!

[nathanhughes]

Hey thanks for watching! I actually had a big wooten phase in my early twenties. I even managed to get on stage with him for 2 minutes at The Parting Glass in Saratoga, NY. He allows (or used to allow) local musicians to jump up with him if they have the stones. But my friends you need to know that I could never in this lifetime match his legendary virtuosity.

Also I think he may be omnipresent, so watch what you type.

@nathanhughes Nathan, where's the promised album? :)

[WindOfSilence]

Do you know if is there available any cd from him?

[vandamage93]

Hughes=white wooten

freakin love this guy

[boneybass]

Wooten and Hughes

Apples and oranges folks!

Both are Great & should be admired seperatly as great artists. Each with unique style tone and voice.

Comparing art is such FOLLY!

[DiegoAOMunoz]

Agreed!

[Ixamination]

poor sound quality :( too bad.

[minilurk]

just turn the volume up a bit :)

[Zagurspace]

Your are stupid?.... wow..

[DiegoAOMunoz]

Poor sound quality, but great musician!

[Nijuoki]

Nathan and Victor wooten haven't the same technic, this two bass player are exceptional and peculiar masters of hisself way of play it, for my opionion... Victor wooten have more feeling that Nathan, but... this sing too and made his song specials...

[FatTomy]

IMO Nathan has more feeling than Wooten.....maybe it´s because of the singing and sadness in his songs...

[WindOfSilence]

I ABSOLUTELY agree!!

[w4lth3rp99]

wooten plays with finger and fast...

nathan slapps and fast, too...

he's the best

[mynameistheman12345]

wooten slaps more than finger strumming

[mrtfuss]

i went to school with Nathan and his twin bro..i had no idea he was this talented...YOU GO NATHAN !!

[cikdb]

his instrument has become an extension of his body. i dont deserver to plat bass anymore. anyone wanna buy a Thunderbird IV?

[tonydoblel]

i bet the man once said that himself.

[kingpin191]

yeah exactly man, i feel the same way when i watch him and wooten and all the others, either makes me want to throw my bass away or inspires me to practice harder, and i'd buy your tbird but i already have one lol

[tomisntshort]

victor wooten's got nothing on nathan hughes.

[PugzM]

must disagree here, both use the same sorts of techniques though to very different effects. I've seen victor wooten display the highest standard of ability in a wider range of techniques than Nathan hughes though theres lots more material available from wooten than there is Hughes.

I think both are great, though I think Victor still has the crown at present.

[l1l1k1]

nathan you rule,congratulations

[Mathes91]

which ibanez bass he is playing??

[K33P3R56]

Looks like a SR1000EFM. One of the Ibanez Prestiges

[Mathes91]

i think it´s wrong.....

I think it´s a SR900FM

[gabeanation]

my dear god, nathan is a bass genius!! why isn't he famous when jackasses like mike drint are?

[funkbeastbasslover]

cause mike dirnt and the rest of his band suck corporate cock to be famous

[kazmelm213]

hes like the andy mckee of bass

[eisregen666]

hmmm ... he is so good xD i love his vids and hes the reason why i started playin bass xD i hope could play once a bit as good as him ... -.-

[sgcollins]

nathan lewis hughes woo hoo! when i first saw him play out back in 1999 or so, my jaw dropped. he promised me he would someday come visit amsterdam, no sign of him yet ...

[GoogolplexZenfu]

hes the best bass-player, i've ever seen !

[mnkyking]

i love this amazing work.

[xb400]

The only thing missing in this video is the "solo". Man, I haven't got the words to classify the solo... its AMAZING!

[boyjoyzee]

I know what you mean most of Nathan's "normal" playing is too hard for most bass players but when he "solos" though... it goes to another level.

[xb400]

This is one amazing song. Even if he didn't play it very well, I know he can rock with it!

Nathan is my new god \o/

[ericlepoutre]

awesome he appreciates the support, its been a year since this was taken so you can imagine where he's taken it. cheers- el

[xb400]

I got to tell you, this song his a masterpiece! The way he plays it, the tune, the lyrics, the melody... It literally blew my friggin mind off!

I used to consider myself a bass player... not any more. Nathan is HUGE!

[ericlepoutre]

So i took this a little over a year ago and came across it on my laptop. I dont know if Nate is really proud of this performance lol but nonetheless, those familiar with Victory Blues can appreciate it's first ever incarnation.
