I saw him live in '81 and '84, amazing shows. This has to be the best live Jaco recording I've ever seen. Continuum is without a doubt the best bass song ever conceived. Just a beautiful song, and so nice that it comes from one bass.
@Countavery..Thank U!! @panhead1219?? u shuld B smacked 4 ur ignorance!! 1st u say he played sorta well, then u say he's a very good player?? Dude, just say u don't like him, & sthu!! Cause bottom line is, what u think about him personally don't change the fact that Jaco is 1 of the most influential cats 2 play that instrument, period!! & since a bouncer decided 2 beat him 2 death, we'll never know if he could've kicked the drugs, will we!! Have ur opinion, but don't disrespect, u Jerk!!!!!!
@jasont0815 he made a mistake. do NOT blame that bouncer, because he did NOT mean to kill him. I loved jaco, I LOVE jaco, but it was his fault as well.
To the haters i.e panhead1219, just because your not intelligent enough to understand Jaco's playing doesn't give you the right to speak bad about him.! Jaco was and will always continue to be a legend in the bass playing world! Just ask the bass players you look up too!
wireless systems in those days sucked unless it was top of the line. I dont hear any dropouts, interference, or CB radios. must have been top of the line
@panhead1219 He had multiple mental diseases and was beaten to death, a normal bouncer beats people to DEATH when they do something wrong? He had something coming but not death.
nope, his entire family was so sad about him dying that they actually went out and recovered his most precious instrument (bass of doom) and pretty much keep it as a remembrance of him.
@panhead1219 "sorta swell"?..."So what?"?......The guy already changed history....You, on the other hand, will only slip into oblivion. No matter what kind of serious shit you listen to....congrats on your new career as a mediocre music critic for porn movie tracks......I don't even know why I wrote this...I'm wasting my alphabets on you...Yuck !!
@panhead1219 Just figured out the "sorta well" bit doesn't make any sense....Nobody would ever say that about a guy who practically redefined electric bass playing....lol...keep on trolling bro, you're doing good.....I'm sleepy.
great audio on this thanks

@nezinot123 so what? he fucked up and died.
Like I said, he was a very good player, but NOBODY gave a shit about him personaly, so he died while digging his own grave with drugs.
Same thing with Entwistle. great player.. fucked himself.. nobody near him cared
Lots of GREAT bass players now, that do NOT follow their examples!
And as far as what I listen to? Zappa. the Steves!.... Morse, Vai, Marriot, Miller, little, winwood ... and grand funk railroad.
