Wow I love this madonna song. Always associate it with that strange film At Close Range. Didn't know Frisell covered it; I love it, should've known he did ha! That Klein guitar is beautiful. Headless telecaster of the future.. er the 90s future anyhow. The one and only
Bill Frisell has done something few guitarists outside of Clapton have figured out: how to be great without being fast (Clapton can play fast, but that's not what makes him great). Very musical, very unique phrasing, playing just behind the groove...nice...
@joe44850 Clapton and fast? Naaah. John McLaughlin is fast, Al Di Meola or Allan Holdsworth, to name but a few. Clapton has a great sound and conveys a specific feeling, just as David Gilmour does or Mark Knopfler, but he is not fast. Same with Santana. He's no virtuoso, but he has balls, sounds awesome and his music kicks arse. That is, what counts, it's not always about speed...
This trio was a truly revolutionary troupe. It was all about space and surprise, captured perfectly on the "live" album from '92 or so. From track 7's 'Strange Meeting' to track 8's 'Hangdog' and you'll here an abridged history of western pop music, minor rhomba to prog thrash metal in two tracks. Kermit is a huge part fo that aesthetic. I think thos track is incredible.
I agree this isn't the best Driscoll, but to say he sucks in this this isn't true. This is his style of playing and I hope you could appreciate it. It definitely doesn't sound like he is lost though.
Screw those "cats". Speaking as a fellow bassist, I personally love and admire your playing (especially your gorgeous tone!) You're an amazing musician!
@neothomist1275 Oh man, please... Even if he did - who cares!? The performance sounds magical and thats what counts, even if he hit 1000 wrong notes... I know a lot of musicians that never hit wrong notes but i would rather hear this guys dropping their guitars than the 'correct' guys play...
bathoshue has posted another video that picks up where this clip ends, so you can hear Live to Tell in its entirety, but Frisell didn't go with the solo he does on the Have a Little Faith CD.

No excuse for being off-beat.
This version seems listless, too. I don't feel near the emotion of the original.
You can tell they plays their instruments well, though. Maybe an off day, or a gamble that didn't pay off (for me, anyway).

I didn't think it sounded like a wrong note. It was perfectly placed and took me by surprise. I love it when that happens in music.

Like someone else on YT said, the greatest jazz guitar since Jim Hall. This stuff is timeless.

Kermit definately hit a wrong note at 8:55
He is still a fine interactive bassist.
