The Reddings - The Awakening LIVE Belgium (1982)

[Cabbolet]

Holy Smokes...This is how you play bass. As far as i'm concerned the Reddings is the best disco/fuck band ever. It's a crying shame they haven't released all their songs on a CD collection yet. Thank you Reddings, for teaching me music. I understand now.

[trampledin08]

saying this piece of music is beyond claypool's ability is flat out ignorant

[djago1964]

classic........couldn't be better

[rainstormwind]

Les Claypool should never have touched this one. Simply because it's beyond his capabilities.

[mahfuzhaufar]

@rainstormwind wonder if you can do better than Les....I am waiting for your rendition of the song....

[rainstormwind]

@mahfuzhaufar I stand by my comment. I have studied bassists from Monk Montgomery onwards. To give you some perspective, I was old enough to buy The Reddings album in 1980 while you were probably still a speck in the universe.

[thethirdeye9]

now i learned how to play bass..

[gwricr]

Faster yet funkier than Claypool's rendition? These guys are gods!

[PhuckHue2]

HELL YEAH!! had to download this one. Dexter is playing his Stingray bass on this! on the record he played a Precision

[grooveskin]

[AntiChris1996]

@grooveskin well just saying les claypool did NOT rip this off, if u read the booklet for highball with the devil he givs the reddings credit

[grooveskin]

[misterpink71]

C'est juste mortel, mais que sont ils devenus`?

[tanmancan]

i thought it was, thanks for the insight/knowledge

[blackwaxjh]

Awesome!!! The Reddings are such an underrated band and this song is such a monster slice of funk. They really should be better known than they are. But then again, real heads know "bad" they really are.

[MegaMrbass]

[JanVanGalen]

Classic stuff. Thumbs up.
