"Chameleon" - Gov't Mule feat. Dirty Dozen Brass Band Horns

[jasmaxwell77]

my respect for this band just went up 10 fold.

[CarlisleAndHopeMusic]

phatest trombone playing. wow.

[rifffraph]

@bladestoneCess I bet you mean "FUNK YEAH!"

[bruicebaze]

Very interesting.

[TheBrakedown]

one of the best videos on youtube. yeah i said it.

[ikonjoe]

Terrible performance by bass and drums; lost place three times; looking at each other for a reference point, never got back to the main groove of the song; horns = awesome

[bladestoneCess]

"Like" doesn't cut it. Where is my "FUCK YEAH!" button?

[darwenus]

It ought to be illegal for there to be anything that makes me this happy without a prescription. This is one of my three or four favorite single Mule performances ever. That whole night was amazing, so glad it was preserved on DVD and CD.

[Volcanistry]

lol @ thinking the horn section is bad, they're some truely incredible musicians, not having an alto isn't a reason for not liking the dirty dozen

[danieldickison]

where's the rest of this?

[lwowen]

We call this "Walking Around The House" music... go ahead, try it out

[deadheadmays]

..the horn section is terrible? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

[AMMstudios]

I think the horn section is terrible. Could definitely use an alto sax. Love the bari though

[BDBBari]

@AMMstudios Funk bands usually favor lower saxes, so the trumpet can contrast more with it's higher register.

[greensidedown]

@AMMstudios shut the funk up!

[Jazzyness100]

Now i know why they're titled "dirty" :D

[Mikeyb88122]

I wish there was a 'Love' button right about now.

[iluvbaylay225]

i died.. my face melted

[luvz2drum99]

I like your holy shitballs comment. Two great bands coming together. It's as colossal as Pittsburgh and Green Bay in the Super Bowl.

[fekaliofil]

4 all the bassists: try playing solos on this one, i strongly recommend you that !

[normloman]

Nice horn arrangement! Feels so natural to the song.

[fekaliofil]

world has ended

[moraigna66]

epic!: video lasts 9:47 and it's not even all the song

[adeavers7]

This is too much funk! I'm only a white guy, I can't handle it all!

[kitchart]

I love it!

[JGPorcello]

Herbie should be proud.

[mainstreetbootboy]

fuckin kick ass.

by far the best cover of this song ive ever heard

[mysticunicycle]

it's sad that there's 2 deaf faggots who disliked this.

[mlrhode]

George Porter Jr. on tha bass!!

[laissezfukd]

@mlrhode try again

[sitarlo]

@mlrhode That's Paul Jackson from the Headhunters who originally recorded this tune with Herbie Hancock. George Porter Jr. plays on this dvd, but on different tunes.

[mlrhode]

@sitarlo and laissezfukd Yeah, sorry.. I commented on the wrong one..

[josephehebert]

Ooo!!!!!!!! Hell!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akbb1234567890]

LOOK AT BIG SAM ON THE TROMBONE DANCIN

[MrSntna]

Anyone think it kinda looses the groove a bit around 4:30 ?

[mehbleh300]

Is this even real???

This has to have been done in New Orleans...

[webseeker2008]

Da shizz nitt

[alcgda]

finally!!! I'm sorry to say but maynard's band is nothing compared to this one

[eyesrdeeperbrown]

so smily :0)))

i be trying to track down Bernie Worrells "DIRTY" on here wid no joy as yet, heard it on lastfm & in awe of the dopness - so this is an S.O.S if anybody has it pls

[Praying4tidalWaves]

[BAMeynig]

[756saxplayer]

This is THE SHIT

[ThemJazzyBeats]

That trumpetist can hold his fucking breath for long man !

[akbb1234567890]

@ThemJazzyBeats circular breathing

[Antestor]

NOO! WHY DID IT END!!!

[virtualdiabolik]

Sweet mother of God!! Now that is what i call "Top music" !!

[matchballman]

bernie is such a stud

[Gradey3]

Matt Abst (spelling?) is such a good drummer, he knows how to lay back with the groove

[chrisdgoldie]

@Gradey3 I think it's Abts, but regardless of what his name is, he is one of my favorite drummers.

Gov't Mule is really one of the best bands out there. Very underrated.

[InspiretoVictory]

Hah! I love @ 5:38 what Warren is doing with the wah pedal and those 2 guys look over like "Damn!"

[maidoodesu]

crazy nice !  です.

[shadeoforange]

Music was born thousands of years ago to become these 10 minutes. Straight up.

[andyinsdca]

my head assplode

[bigsamsfunkynation]

Damn!!!!!! This was a crazy nite!!!!!! Thank God for YOUTUBE!!!!!,,lol

[wrestlerfan99]

[aymric]

Damn, Bernie Worrell is everywhere. The man is a genius.

[TheMisticWinds]

Paul Jackson is a master

[Moongirl9]

Tune that flugal

[vanledfloyd]

[Sagison]

[Gradey3]

@vanledfloyd This is off the dvd called the deepest end

[klebertuba]

[stolzvonbaden]

I love this music!

[bogus67]

I wont stop until everyone has seen this!

DDBB ROCKS

[Banikan]

[thecarboon]

THAT'S what i call funky!!

[Turk16161]

jazz jack rabbit? lol

[bogus67]

HOLY SHIT

[unknownkingdom]

The bass player is off the chain.

[stolzvonbaden]

Great! I saw the "Dirty Dozen Brass Band" in Freiburg, Germany, in the 80s. Excellent musicians and humans too. 5*

[notanormalmusiclover]

The best I've heard in a loooong time!!

[BAMeynig]

this makes me wanna switch to bari soooo bad. that bari player is legit.

[grumo81]

You forgot to put George Porter Jr. and his enormous groove in the 'guests' section of the video description! ;)

[sitarlo]

I think that's Paul Jackson on bass.

[afroboy389]

Gov't Mule does some great covers!! Chameleon is a jazz standard and Gov't Mule nailed it!!

[Praying4tidalWaves]

i'd call it a funk standard, but its pretty far from any of the jazz numbers he performed...

[afroboy389]

I totally hear you. I would also call it a funk standard. It may be on the R&B standard list. I have already checked the jazz standard list, and Chameleon is on it.

[MrJsmoov123]

The instrumentation is so creative. Epic.

[dbeckster]

Phattest shit ever.

[TheJoe101]

uh, what i wouldn't give to be behind that drum kit jamming with those guys...

[bmac778]

same

[djmrbrown00]

hottdamn!!!!!

[Praying4tidalWaves]

legendary.

[avalemert]

Crazy amazing, my Lord this is phenom. uh to jam like these cats would be heaven on earth

[JimmyFightingBack]

This is basically the shit.

[shazaad2]

@JimmyFightingBack Word mate....word!

[NewOr2012]

I love this video. Dirty Dozen Brass Band with Herbie Hancokc wow.!!!! Roger Lewis has been our customer for many years. New Orleans Music Exchange.This brass band is absolutely phenomenal. People in the music field have to learn more about talented brass instrument . It is so essential to teach people about our cultural music in this country specially New Orleans. I fully support this band, this video and all the brass instument musicians.Eventually i will make more comments about this band!!

[HSTdrums]

Herbie Hancock wrote the tune they are playing but he is not on stage in this video.

[passthempeas]

holy crap they have a sousaphone

[257melomaniacs]

who's the bassplayer??!!!

[valseuzes]

The bassplayer of Herbie Hancock. The real !

Great song !

[tophev07]

holy....fucking....shitballs. how does this only have 14,228 views?!?!?! probably the best cover i've heard of this song

[deadheadmays]

@tophev07 lmao at holy fucking shitballs. that truly made my heart happy.. much like this song.

[bcc118]

@tophev07 there is no "probably"... for me anyway

[borderline4]

Awsome,Who's sick Idea was this?More of the same please.With a bit of the old Les Paul as well !

[Jazzyhobbit]

[apkbluesman]

Is that bone player growling a double F? Holy shit

[paazei007]

Woot I am the 9,999st viewer!

[dangrusso]

[dangrusso]

pual jackson just got reabok sweat bands that allot of basketball players wear on his fingers

[Idget777]

Whoa is the flugelhorn player using circular breathing at 4:49?

[dave3187]

Me...I wish

[Gradey3]

matt abts kicks ass

[iremon]

Freekin' Amazing!

What's Paul Jackson got on his fingers?

[johnnycharco]

As soon as it was done I hit play again. Holy crap! Thanks for sharing! :)

[13yooreck]

Amazing!!!!!

[drummermajor]

This is probably the first time I've ever enjoyed Chameleon

[dontwetyourpants]

gotta love any kinda bari solo =)

[bogus67]

I'm kinda old but this kicks so much ass that I cant watch more than once a week! I saw them in Seattle in the 90's. This is the real deal. They are a flexible group, people coming and going but they make real music. Nothing else is like DDBB!

[drewhouse]

WHAT A FUCKIN' GEM

[dherrer1]

out of this world....complete madness!!!!! every single player is absolutely tight and fuckin insane...i get crazy when i hear these guys...i love it!

[apkbluesman]

i played at a hookah lounge in Tallahassee one night, and Paul Jackson Jr was at FSU for a seminar with Marcus Roberts, along with McCoy Tyner. They came up to our jam and PJJ sat in with us for a 84 minute version of this song which included elements of Watermelon Man, Rockit, Sing a Simple Song, Tell Me Something Good, (Used to Be a) Cha Cha, The Chicken, Soul Intro, and others I can't remember

[baltostar1]

That is a freakin' amazing story ... surprised I'm the first one to answer you. McCoy was funkin' it up for 84 mins ???? Wow.

[whitecloud88]

IBSOBiscuit eater!

[streetzac]

so funky!

[TheRumster]

most amazing trombone solo on Youtube. So much soul and funk. He hits nasty notes, while growling... its just sick. Its freaking awesome!

[mrcoolgenius]

I had to listen to it all again to make sure that it actually happened! It was SO good.

[TheRumster]

yeah seriously - when he starts wailing, it's at a Db (the high one) and then when he pops up, it's a freaking double F while growling/fluttering. Amazing.

[mrcoolgenius]

He is well and truly a trombone god. He's got such a good flutter it's unbelievable.

[dherrer1]

i sat next to him on a plane from atlanta to minneapolis and we talked about music and trombone playin..(i play b bone) and i had no idea who he was...i had never heard of him..he gave me tips and we talked about gigs and shit....few days later i saw him on youtube...fuckin insane!! i thought he was just another bone player like me....crazy shit....

[mrcoolgenius]

He's incredible. I only know two other people who listen to these guys (I live in England where they're not incredibly well known) and every time I solo now I use his 'siren' like bit where he glisses up to the high notes. He's awesome.

[booperocks]

I'm seeing thier concert in a few days!!!! YAY! I love them!!

[TheRumster]

amazing.

[jamo2006]

unreal. hot. owned.

[draganrokvic]

to the poster - it's not Paul Jackson JR,(guitar player)- it is Paul Jackson, original Headhunters bass guitarist. cheers for the video!

[killerfury867]

Holy crap! Amazing playing

[apkbluesman]

well, ill never have a band this good, so i may as well quit now...........holy fuckin shit thats amazing

[njdrumguy1]

Damn !! That's hot !! What happened to the ending ??

[floydivision]

Sorry...this song have 16 minutes and the limit to upload is 10. So, I make some edit to fit here.

[marquettefootball]

@floydivision Any chance at adding part two?

[wrombola]

[dsilver010010]

[jackmule]
