Jaco Pastorius-"The Chicken"

[diemutha666]

Jaco was the only person who had the freedom to walk around the stage :)

[larussural]

why does he looks like cliff burton?

[meljr]

Jaco didn't need no solo...he was soloing throughout this jam.

[37nio]

i don t understand much about jazz, but i feel amazing about the solo on steel pan drum.i would like to know the name of the person who plays it. thank you and sorry about my english

[calebguillaume333]

@37nio Othello Molineaux



[37nio]

[jacojuggler]

Last Jaco's 20 seconds in this video are pure genius.

[flavio666ism]

[WARBEAST2]

chicken slapper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RushRocks1]

i can't even believe how jaco got murdered. screw that bouncer, he ended a tremendous talented beast.

[lzeppelinrocks]

@RushRocks1 i should beat your ass you son of a bitch

[piliage]

Had Erskine hit puberty yet in this video?

[MyKidC]

HUGE fan of Jaco. Cool seeing Othello on steel drums. Love his work on Opus Pocus.

[nycbassist76]

whats wrong with Jaco's face in this? he looks like he got punched

[egyptianminor]

@nycbassist76 It's 'war paint', in the Native American and Keltic sense.

[nycbassist76]

@egyptianminor i see that now...i guess i looked at it fast and it looked like he had a black eye or bruise lol

[thelucasdesigner]

muito bom



[scottyswads12]

SICK BASS LINE, LOVE IT!!

[JesseNeuman]

do you think Randy and Bob bought their calculator watches at the same store?

[jlimproj]

bob ross is a beast on the sax

[bobbysbackingtracks]

@jlimproj  Do you mean Bob Mintzer?

[22FretsIsNotEnough]

@jlimproj and Super Mario is an awesome drummer.

[pataataa]

@jlimproj dude i think that's bob mintzer

[jlimproj]

@pataataa i was making a visual comparison of the sax dude to bob ross, the painter....

[jdrum12]

Note to Dave Weckl - this grooves..yours doesn't...

[animenime]

orgasmic

[CashMarley]

Absolutely Fantastic Funky sound !!! I love that fretless sound !

[Rubenble]

I can't help it.. Jaco looks hilarious, and I don't even know it's on purpose!

[flexfio7]

[ice8572300]

world's greatest bass player.

[r3korgr3korg]

[ptrLeGrand]

In Montréal, best city in the world! :D

[matychew]

mintzer can be so so funky sometimes.

[Piero2374]

Dico a queste 9 persone a cui non piace questa performance di Jaco: ma perchè non andate a farvi una birra!! Siete in grado di riconoscere almeno i basso elettrico in questa formazione?? Forse, quelle birre diventano due...

[map6612]

00:35 I didn't know Zohan plays sax...

[pretorious700]

nice version...I really miss Jaco

[balian0234]

9 people who dislike is because they think its been the dowload button

[MikadoJazz]

@balian0234 Yes man : LOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[Tfunkize]

am i wrong or is there some Cannonball Adderly sound in this Chicken ?

[RoyJohnMorris]

Amazing!!!

[The1chihira]

[Sphenna1068]

Great video. Fantastic song, Jaco was a great bassist. Even the way he's movin in this video reminds me of a chicken!

[tiago85416]

[anthrmthrfckr]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACO!!! We miss you!!!

[olewkaification]

[GuilleMartinezBass]

[Royzilber]

[MichaelBalzary10]

@hempao420 try snorting cocaine

[groovei]

ooh that bass tone..mmm

[MrH2old]

got this video and think this is good, seems i am already to late to ever see him.

[tinfdsp]

uffff el vídeo que menos me gusta de él, se le nota no sólo por la cara sino por la forma de tocar que va todo calzado...

[Casform]

if he was living now, i would've drive to Iran to see his consert!

[ShakinToBeatles]

this is such a good music. if you ever heard something like this, and then you turn on the radio you just grab your head and start thinking wtf is wrong with the people out there xD

[DJazzinho]

What a pity Jaco died so young! Great musician. Great band he put together here!

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

His steel drum was originally made from one of Chuck Norris' hubcaps.

[markfogarty1954]

Othello the Great on steel pan!

[Joestrio]

Thelonious Monk - steel drum !!! :D

[iansa53]

those brecker brothers!!!

[danogzilla]

what a fucking lineup!

[prettynoose8497]

That bass is showing that is has seen some weathered and hard times. Unfortunately, the man playing it is showing his hard times too!

[jseithbot]

The trumpet player looks and sounds like he showed up the to the gig hungover. Hoooooooooly shit steel plan solo.

Jaco. Perfect.

[hottosupaisic]

フムフム

[TheHeadshotM]

wow

[Rhythmicons]

He looks high as all get out!

[fbigpilllin]

this is the scootaloo song :D

[IronMaidenDoD]

"How are you so wealthy?!" "I played steel pans with Jaco Pastorius"

[gpoop23]

Anyone know what kind of bass he's playing here?

[JustusFriedolin]

@gpoop23 fender jazz

[zombiespacebat]

@gpoop23 seriously?

[bassturkey]

Jaco pulled his frets and filled his fretboard with epoxy after losing a band audition to Ralphe Armstrong, who as an accomplished upright player was already fluent on fretless. Ralphe played bass for a bunch of greats including Zappa, but in my opinion he really kicked it playing Gibson basses with Jean Luc Ponty. I saw him live. Ralphe is awesome to this day. Jaco is amazing. They are both bass God's.

[bassturkey]

Jaco pulled his frets and filled his fretboard with epoxy after losing a band position to Ralphe Armstrong. Ralphe played bass for John McGlouplin,

[alguitaral]

Alguien podría decirme quién es el músico ese que toca la olla?

[tapsarautanen]

@alguitaral It's written in the video description: O. Molineaux-steel pans.

[samhawkbmx]

he is so baked!!!

[0rth0doX]

what year was this?

[IronMaidenDoD]

steel pans sound a bit like xylophone

[kenan19]

amazing

[divad435]

Bob Mintzer you machine!

[gabbalabbawoop]

the dave weckl band do a good version of this, this song is one of my all time faves :)

[juanpestana96]

Excelent.. This is really music!!

[c4rl1t0x1]

damn jaco was a fuking genius

[MonkeyManBlues]

Jaco has more talent in his pinky finger than all the haters on YouTube combined!!!

[stetrak1967]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[tsiminiera]

wonderfull musicians!

[jazzfanatic2]

The steel drum solo just slays me every time I hear it!

[superpapaben]

Jaco didn't write this song. Pee Wee Ellis did.

[LusoVIDEOcam]

thanks ... so nice... so fresh and alive!!!!

[JIGL]

Eso es todo. That's it. Jaco opened the door, entered through it, and everyone else after, just followed. Same thing Vinnie Colaiuta has done for drums.

[groovei]

how does he get that tight burpy tone..

[hedgepigs]

@groovei Bridge pickup, marine epoxy on the neck, and having the right hands... :o)

[magegonewild]

@groovei fretless neck does wonders on the tone, right ? =)

[theriverman89]

Even this song has been written by Jaco, I still prefer the Weckl's version...

[johydee1]

fuck, I wish this guy was still around!

[leandroarruda2000]

só lembrando que Jaco era auto didata e nunca estudou num conservatório ou faculdade de música.

[tellarjj]

Yes, Jaco is the best !...

[emregunemre]

guess what's in his headband? i know

[uzumakiGT]

No comment...because he is just that boss.

[manystewie]

JACO THE BEST !!!!

[Shadic159]

-OH MY GOD

-God doesn't exist

-No?Take a look at this video

Conclusion= Jaco is god

[mcmeekz]

@Shadic159 jaco is dead...so what are you saying?

[Xenobia10]

@Shadic159 I just tweeted that

[Xenobia10]

@Shadic159 I just tweeted that..

[sonicfuker]

Man, that trumpet player and steel drum player were shredding their asses off!

[danielstevan26]

This song makes me happy, can´t stop thinking in a Chicken!

[greyshark100]

4 people are eating crap and their brains don't work any more

[izzionbass]

4 people are jaco's unborn children! :)

[c4rl1t0x1]

@skezness what's the matter whit that?

[loumaTROM]

@skezness I love Cliff Burton and love this,you stupid fuck. By the way the original version of the song by pee wee ellis is a great funk moment too

[devor3]

second :42 i feel he's looking at me ; )

[Cartoonkid111]

Now THAT is a groove!

[mudylafeet]

damn that brodah cooked some great stuff on that steel pan, holy S*(t

[mudylafeet]

@mudylafeet or was it a chicken he was plucking up in that steel pan? OMG awesome!!!

[bepi1]

No go paroe

[MrSadomax]

THANKS!!!!!!!!

[danielstevan26]

I'm a Electric Guitar lover. But this song makes me wanna play the bass like a Freak!

[superairsoft99]

3 people are deaf.

[danstortion]

My God...he looks really weird, those eyes...

[cocoproco]

bien esaaaa percusion jajajaja

[VermootMusic]

THIS. IS. MUSIC.

[KMillSantana875]

we should stone the 3 dickheads who disliked this!! This is a beautiful piece of music and even if you don't like jazz you should respect it. RIP Jaco, you are missed!

[mootbooxle]

This is some of the best playing I've seen from all these cats! Randy Brecker is on fiyah! And what can I say about Jaco that hasn't been said....nothing! He was in good form here, that's fasho.

[CherokeeMusic]

Hah! Jaco ripped himself off! Did anyone else catch the Come On Come Over lick at 5:18?

[buefyYT]

@CherokeeMusic

he does that a lot xp.I love it!

[TRACTATUS123]

What a shame that this talent could only perform when so High shame....No you don't have yo be like Parker!!

[LGShannon]

Only an IDIOT would "dislike" this.

[Sziferuczek]

He looks like Arnold Schwarzeneger a bit :) But he's still one of the best bass players :)

[ellasefuedecasa]

zarpado!



[danielstevan26]

I Do play the Electric Guitar, I love it, but when I hear this song, I just want to put a colored hat and play this song on the BASS

[TheBassplayah]

B flat E flat D G C made so funky by Jaco.... try to play exactly what hes playing....cant do it....and get a load of the jazz pans solo....Wild ! RIP Jaco.....killed by a madman fuckin asshole bouncer Mother Fucker....Theres definitely a hole where he used to be...miss you Jaco

[GamingKid94]

Awesome

[Cyllmegil]

Jaco is moving like a chick.

[edurock96]

RANDY BRECKER IS THE MASTER OF TRUMPET

[5891jonathan]

So some A-Hole comes in and clicks the "dislike" icon?  I do not understand some people . . .

[Hunkajunk94]

Amazing bassist, RIP Jaco.

[knowgeddy]

sonny rollins tribute at 1:15

[martinmedeski]

unreal rhythm section. jaco and whoever the drummer is keep it watertight

[tubamann001]

@martinmedeski His (the drummer) name is Peter Erskine.... Look him up.... he's one of the greatest also..... Jaco played with the best.....

[slowgold20]

one guy is a chicken... who got played... (what? no high five? that wasnt funny?)

[gilbert20]

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful music. Mintzer shreds, and that steel drum player is no slouch! As always, Jaco delivers the real thing.

[saviodera]

monstrão! eterno jaco

[djlcruze]

Damn, that sax player is good!

[DadGarbage]

somehow, one chicken managed to get the the dislike button.

[TaipeiDawg]

Wow, steel pan player is brilliant!!

[BMNBMETAL666]

1 guy is a chicken

[Drums5B]

only in a great jazz band like this can each member achieve such great rhythmic independence and not detract from the overall feel.

[TheUke1000]

Why is Jaco wearing face paint and a skirt? Because he can. That's why.

[lwm3398]

@TheUke1000 Why did Jaco take off his strings, pry off his frets, and sand down his neck? Because he could. That's why.

[NousAbslolutus9]

so chill, so good. thanks jaco.

[RichardLarge0]

with Cheech on drums!

[karakanas37]

what a genius

[san5a89]

jaco digs cerwin vega

[robertmai64]

Randy Brecker Bravooooooo!

[aakkoin]

with soul intro this would be perfect... awesome groove and solos...

[ThyrsusDionysus]

Randy Brecker, hell yeah.

[jendriss]

jaco had chinese's eyes jaja

[LazyBastard69]

@jendriss That's because he was probably drunk and stoned as shit :D

[smithcreekmandolin]

What year was this? I saw him in '81 or '82 with this same band. One of the best shows I've even been to. It was the tour before he had Mike Stern in the band, and it was 10 times better. With Mike Sterns was '84 and that just didn't compare to this band.

[riverpeople]

I love peter erksine, but how can you have a moustashe that big? Don't you ever want to eat soup or kiss a lady?

[DarekHB]

@riverpeople Don't you ever want to be mistaken for a porn star?
