Vinnie Colaiuta John Patitucci w/ Chick Corea

[prognosis2112]

holy shit...this is so good.

[juanfrossi]

Ok, amazing bass solo, vinnie colaiuta i s fucking great drummer, i don't need to talk about chick.. but john's shirt's by far the best of the video

[BuffoonCinema]

At 1:12 the world stopped to watch when Vinnie paused, played with one hand and....

[astrobassist]

sick bass solo...starts around 02:15

[joelscott82]

Yep.. What else can one say?

[AURORA4105]

Un genio. Un bassista che fà gli accordi e che suona il basso in questo modo oserei dire che è l'unico...forse c'è anche Pastorius !!!

[jgeorgel]

What the hell is this crap what is in vinie's mouth. He looks rediculose. What dos he think his cool or something. Junk

[DiarmaidGNR]

2.35 sounds like the menu screen in Gran Turismo 2.

[AllenSJ5]

Vinnie must be smoking something real strong, how else could he play that good? ;)

[matiasbanfield23]

VINNIE SMOKING AND PLAY THE DUMS THATS INCREDIBE!! THE BEST!!

[chelomustis]

colaiuta smoking while playing is the coolest thing i've ever seen!!!!!

[daraghkinch]

Amazing performance from three amazing musicians. Shame about the missing section in this video though, it's like a poem missing a verse.

[notnowjon]

3 Italo-men!!!! XD XD XD

[jimmyswatchin]

awsome....glad to be alive at this time...such talented artists....John unreal basist



[epickett63]

Monsters, all!

[Giftedforglory1]

i used this to write one of my songs...chick is a beast!

[Fantasticifaction]

This would not have been half as good without the cig in Colaiuta's mouth

[pjduffy1]

haha vinnie is such a badass smoking a cigarette at the beginning of this

[nordine98]

fabuleux!!!!

[Musiciansheaven]

do these guys play one handed moving cigarettes and glasses just to piss us off!

THE MOTHER OF ALL MULTITASKERS!

[Thevoodoobunny]

that niggas playing with a lit cigarette in his mouth puffin away shit haha badass

[Fantasticifaction]

0:00-0:04 epic intro :p

[musicmansmith24]

What's with the cigarette? did he leave it hangin out just for the show? ....either way, what an amazing drummer!

[chype]

When Chick takes the glasses off you know he means business :)

[epickett63]

@chype Like, "Oh it's ON, now...!"

[ediot6969]

Vinnie is sought after sooooo much not just in Cali. But in the world. That dude has more gigs than he has sperm. No lie. Do ur home work. Dave and Dennis have both said vinnie was a major influence for them coming up. He was on the scene way before them both. He was the first to really bring Tony Williams back on the kit.

[daverow49]

Incredibly inspirational playing. So tasteful. My kind of music. Very sad about the cloth -ears who will never get it. You cannot buy 'feel' in a music shop. If you don't feel this then electronica and metal is the only thing left. Don't analyze it and it isn't a competition. You should be listening to the musicians expressing themselves in making something beautiful for us to enjoy. Nothing else!

[jamesedwardtheobald]

i dug corea's percussion solo. badass tune

[CowbellProfessional]

at times it looks like Patitucci has five FINGERS on his left hand - not kidding

[PaulAndThePattuccis]

Paul and the Pattuccis love John Patitucci...

[NIKONGUY1960]

Patitucci, what a beast.

What a performance.

[buhonet56]

UNA LOCOMOTORA

[HURMSANFORD]

that edit tuned me out

[DyingSID666]

Vinnie probably jerks in 7/8

[dreembeeken1]

@DyingSID666 Hey dice sid, Hey, didn't he do that on that Brecker Bros Song? You know, "some funk spunk?"

he, he, he, he yer in apple! lmfao

[prodipe23]

Colaiuta don´t needs to fill in for Weckl because he is the BEST drummer, that´s why he is the most sought studio drummer in the LA area.

[woningfilms]

Pffff....

[tokolosh6]

1:15 - 1:17

[MrJoseirazoqui]

Just awesome!!

[TheIrishlad12]

zappa, with coliauta, jean-luc ponty, john maclaughlin...wow

[KingZerxst]

I read Vinnie Colaiuta and John Petrucci. Nearly shit my pants.

[MrBachRules1685]

@KingZerxst me too!! I was like: "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat­tttttt?????????"

[ginddle]

3:00 .... Que?

[Gretschdrums75]

Anyone ever smoked and put out a cigarette while playing before and not missed notes? Just Vinnie. I don't think he smokes anymore but I saw him with Sting and he looked bored and he chain smoked all night. It was in 1993 for the Ten Summoners tour. He killed on Seven Days but that was it. Everything else was him playing to sequenced parts and he looked bred to death.

[CoreaKixx420]

The interplay between these 3 legends is simply astonishing. Thanx for the terrific post.

[RYROSmetaldefender]

drummer with a cigarette ...if he tried to launch a fashion way,it didnt get me

[yogibearx15000]

...with a cigarette in his mouth.

[allmetaliswelcome]

1:01 christopher walken

[santiagodrums1]

Vinnie Colaiuta el genio, quien diria que años despues se volveria evangelico xD

[santiagodrums1]

Vinnie Colaiuta el geio, quien diria que años mas tarde se volveria evangelico ^^

[rawfflecakes]

i thought chick corea was playing another drum kit at first lol

[joshdrums37]

And this is why he is my favorite drummer! Besides endless amounts of technical ability and creativity, he plays with such authority and means every single note he plays...love it, thanks for posting

[vodkaman696911]

What's the name of that cd/dvd? I want it!

[vodkaman696911]

What's the name of that cd? I want it!

[CaptAntiGravity]

Yes our "AmerAsiaGroup" opened two nights for "ChickCorea AcousticTrio" in Singapore 1993 and this was the night right before they did this live gig in Japan cause i was backstage with Chick & our drummer just before our group had to go on & i might say this that Chick was a very down-to-earth Cat & nice dude too!!When hanging with Bro.Vince while he was backstage warming up on his DrumPads his ashtray was completely full!!!Ha!!But he told me he liked my playing & our "AmerAsiaGroup" too!!Thanks

[milleile]

christopher walken on drums

[weedkiller10]

5:19. The best!

We all have those moments while playing...with what is up to you...

[tijeras69]

by the way iam a bassist jejeje

[tijeras69]

fucking monsters of the jazz. im feel like a shit jajajajajaj

[mejsjalv]

Colaiuta is unreal! Play pop with Sting? Sure! Latin Pop with Alejandro Sanz? Alright! What about some nasty metal stuff with Megadeth? Done! What about drumming for the crazy compositions of Frank Zappa? Not a problem! Jeff Beck needs a drummer? Done! Chick Corea wants someone to fill in for Dave Weckl? Of course! Herbie Hancock needs a drummer? Vinnie is the answer!

And no matter what kind of music, he not only play it good... he excels! Like a drummer with multiple personalities.

[sixfingr]

@mejsjalv HA! So true. And you forgot Allan Holdsworth. The man is a monster for sure.

[Piercostanzo]

@mejsjalv yes, he's the best in the world. he's so fast that the camera can't capture his movements, it's true!

[kankeranker]

@mejsjalv Indeed.But I don´t think he is from this planet... Some aliens dropped him here ;-)

[Vaselineum]

@mejsjalv playing in zappa's band is above all. you managed it - you'll kick everyone's ass including god's one

[notnowjon]

@mejsjalv I love this in his personality! XD

[doublethumpbass89]

@mejsjalv hes a schitzo drummer

[FredericXVII]

I Jazzed in my pants

[CherryConcrete]

absolute master musicians

[MrPecesco]

Esto es música de TV Ciudad...

[MrPicroute]

Fumer tue ! Vivre aussi .....

[masdar23]

I have watched Chick and Vinnie preforming on different session, but I was not able to watch John making love to his base.

[cisgom70tube]

oh come guys!!!you misundestand em...all those dislikes don´t like the video cos it´s too short!!!!!!!

[danicumbay]

Orgasmusic!



[HURMSANFORD]

the edit rather sucked

[Basstard22]

let's all agree that people who dislike this, don't have taste for music..

[zzzzzushi]

@arauj86 its not a sin to smoke just extremely unhealthy

[marvinkmooneyoz]

this is good stuff!

[arauj86]

Isnt vinnie christian, why is he smoking??

[JonP1961]

@arauj86 0

It's ok, those are Kosher cigs.

[Heffsta02]

@arauj86 coz even God fears his badassness



[illestdrummer]

@arauj86 this vid is old i guess back then he wasnt...

[2468DDT]

@arauj86 You have to consider how old this is. All Christians were all bound by sin until they accept Christ as their Saviour. Then and only then you sins are washed away and you are changed.

[wearearepublic]

egad... I can probably fit all of my talent as a bassist on the tip of Patitucci's pinky fingernail. He is such a beast. Vinnie is the freaking man!

[Paiste01]

Is there an album released with either Corea and Vinnie or all three of them?

[Neverokful]

@Paiste01 Hello mate, yes this is available on CD as I have a copy and it's worth every penny. I can also highyl recommend The Free Spirits with John Mclaughlin live at the Blue Note. Enjoy!

[Paiste01]

@Neverokful Is it a live album that Im not aware of or is it the studio recording with drummer Gary Novak you are talking about? 

[CapZug]

Love that 5:15 lick, smokin'!

[HebbyMetal]

@CapZug DUDE IT AMAZEING

[MrGuitarguy1986]

I love that look chick gets on his face like "Oh yeah, this is hot!"

[MrGuitarguy1986]

Statues should be built for these men

[ddrums001]

Yeah! Vinny is SMOKIN!!

[funkfanNo1]

Why are so many people watching musical excellence and commenting on smoking?

[MrBasemental]

23 people hate smoking

[BuffoonCinema]

Chuck Norris asked Vinnie why he smoked while he played drums. Vinnie then proceeded, in the middle of a drum solo, to put his cigarette out in Chuck's eye, never missing a beat.

[Percussionfish]

most drummers smoke, now, im not saying that u must smoke , i do, we spend hours practicing and always anxious about how this or that sounds, trying to learn new things, we know the risk, you will die sooner or later, "cancer sitck" , non smokers should just, respect our choice, and if they hate the smoke walk away, or DEAL WITH IT!

[ricohorton]

i'll prefer to hate the cigarette thank you. i don't have to worry about his playing or mine for that matter. would like him to stay on the earth as long as possible to share his wonderful skill and talent.

[steeezmasta]

DONT HATE THE CIGARETTE HATE YOURSELF FOR NOT PLAYING LIKE HIM!

[ricohorton]

most people that smoke wind up with cancer sooner or later.

[ricohorton]

to see him with a cancer stick sticking out of his mouth is just sad. you would think being such a great player he would have more smarts than to smoke.

[Maggost]

@ricohorton What? Vinnie have cancer?

[steeezmasta]

@ricohorton uh.. his smoking is, although very bad ass, not the center of this piece.. Its not sad at all to see a great like Vinnie that has accomplished so much smoking a cig.. how can that be sad..? at one point miles Davis smoked 4 packs a day! but it was the heroin that messed him up

[MrBasemental]

@steeezmasta

Go find medical studies about heroin, its doesn`t mess anything up. Compared to smoking, alcohol and almost any other drug, heroin itself is about the safest drug there is.

On medical heroin you could live to be 100 although you will probably die before that by natural causes.

[tcslick420]

LOL. Smoking a cig while he plays drums? He's the man! xD

[DoutorTurbo]

I did not know "Stallone Cobra" could play drums!!!

[chillidrum]

Chick Corea is a pretty killing drummer too in his own right.

[Omygoodnessg]

Oh my God, the groove from 0:56 to 1:43 is soooooooo

THICK

[valthern]

¿Que Vinnie está en el "Modo Foco"?

[thehellscall]

MOTHER F**KER!! AWESOME!

[Imupoffathatthing]

Pure genius all of them!!

[ricohorton]

i am not impressed with anyone 's smoking. sadly i would think Vinnie as intelligent as he is and as talented as he is would know better and quit smoking.

[tcslick420]

@ricohorton Smoking has nothing to do with intelligence. Some of the greatest minds are/were smokers. Obviously people are aware of the risks and are willing to take them.

I'm just impressed because I'd choke to death if i tried playing with a cig in my mouth the whole time.

[NoseBleedrummer]

ROFL. I never knew Vinnie smoked. I love how they're just fucking around taking off glasses and smoking while playing. Amazing.

[farbrorblo]

Gadd and Colaiuta. Both better on drugs

[batmandeltaforce]

F_CK! :)

[aloysius53]

@tthueson  No kidding...ditto, sir or madam, as the case may be. :)

[CristianTejadaU]

what bass is using john??,

[MakeMeBadKornPorn]

@CristianTejadaU yamaha trb-6P I

[tthueson]

To all of you little s*itheads who record yourselves playing drums to Rush tunes, post them to You Tube, then wait around for people to comment on how good you are: How about post yourselves playing this, while smoking, and then I'll be impressed!!

[baudilus]

Time sig is just 4/4 but the keyboard and bass patterns make it sound like 6/8. John is on his game on this, so sick.

[farbrorblo]

@baudilus The 6/8 feel could also come from the fact that the groove is subdivided into triplets. In other words, Half time shuffle??

[Medjai411]

this is fucking awesome

[nepotiums]

and then once the page was turned he continued playing the riff with his right hand, as he reached over with his left hand, grabbed a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, continued the riff with his left hand and feet, pushed his glasses up, and then played the remaining part of the bar. It was the sickest thing I have ever seen. Frank threw his music up in the air. Bozzio turned around and walked away. I just started laughing.

[nepotiums]

Vinnie has this habit of pushing his glasses up with the middle finger of his right hand. Well I saw him look at this one bar of music, it was the last bar of music on the page. He started to play it as he was turning the page with one hand, and then once the page was turned he continued playing the riff with his right hand,

[nepotiums]

cont

Vinnie had this piece of music on the stand to his right. To his left he had another music stand with a plate of sushi on it, okay? Now the tempo of the piece was very slow, like "The Black Page." And then the first riff came in, [mimics bizarre Zappa-esque drum rhythm patterns] with all these choking of cymbals, and hi-hat, ruffs, spinning of rototoms and all this crazy stuff. And I saw Vinnie reading this thing. Now,

[nepotiums]

This is by steve vai himself....and i qoute

He's one of the most amazing sight-readers that ever existed on the instrument. One day we were in a Frank rehearsal, this was early '80s, and Frank brought in this piece of music called "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation." Just unbelievably complex. All the drums were written out, just like "The Black Page" except even more complex. There were these runs of like 17 over 3 and every drumhead is notated differently. And there were a whole bunch of people there,

[rjbassmanatyahoocom]

oh my god i get goosbumps everytime chick comes in at around 0:55 haha its so fucking awesome

[nanoande]

y aun tiene tiempo de sobra para dejar la ceniza del cigarro en el cenicero!!!!!

[TheMIKEARANGO]

Disculpenme, PERO QUE HIJUEPUTAS PARA TOCAR!!!

[kdsf12]

Yeah Vinnie. Ace the smoke... oh, and don't stop playing, kthxbai.

[darwitoful]

Awesome stuff!! I saw them in NYC once... there is a band in NYC, Afromantra, that reminds me a little to this style of music.

[PandaMcCartney]

[nonfoods1]

[BeanToine27]

How does it feel to play with Chick Corea?

[71rubies]

I think Vinnie has the best hands for fast drumming in the world, in addition to his mastery of incredibly complex rhythms.

[frimpit]

And remember kiddies, it's VERY IMPORTANT to SMOKE when you play drums!!!!

[yogsothoth2099]

this is pure sex

[masterworks71]

Is this available as a full-length for purchase???? This is NOTHING if it's not a must-have.

[mcfartson]

[Mdupont15]

I've never before seen anybody look SO cool with a cigaret dangling from the lips! awesome! and brilliant music too :)

[Ikonoclasto]

The Sacred Trio

[nekezajebancije]

@Ikonoclasto Couldn't agree more. :)

Just saw Patitucci the other day, was playing with Wayne Shorter!

...Too bad it wasn't something as interesting as this. :(

[GTCH9471]

collaiutta is one of my favorite drummers of all time. Power and Grace together, always

[Giovachiuz]

John Patitucci...YEAH!!!

[Asymmatrix]
