Who's that MF playing bass behind her? Too funky! I mean, she's really bad too. Great clip. The keyboard solo is killing me too.

[bobfunk11]

That's the incomparable Dave Dyson my friend!

[manybothans]

[bobfunk11]

I worked at this gig (Montreux Jazz Festival) for ten years

[dwalmz]

Thanks bobfunk! This video was making the rounds on the iConcert channel in Europe a few years ago. I had it on my DVR in HD and it was awesome. Unfortunately, I lost it in a hard drive crash :(

@TheMrSchack Yes, I agree 100%. The keyboardist, you can definitely hear "Hancock" shadows within that solo. Especially around 7:48. He and the bassist give a little shout to Hancock's "4AM" from Herbie's album "Mr. Hands."

[Chalenger303]

I felt the vibe of Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof" in the beginning of the keyboardist solo. Very sweet.

David fucking Dyson. If you're gonna play bass for MeShell, you better be solid as shit. Damn.

Hey Bobfunk....

Is this a concert available to buy? I saw your reply (u working there).... How can I get this on a DVD? MUST HAVE.... this is probably the baddest groove and best live performance I've heard for many years.... Can U help me how to get this concert. I'd die to hear it all....

[TheMrSchack]

OMFG - this is AWESEOME! Thx, Bobfunk. Never heard a live version of this track so funky. Going to Me'Shell concert here in Copenhagen 3 February. Actually my first Me'Shell concert - despite the fact that I've listened to her for more than 10 years - almost every day.

THIS version is pure joy. They're having sooo much fun. Dyson - u just got yourself a new fan. Cool drummer. Nice guitarist. Awesome ('Hancock-inspired') keyboard dude - and Me'Shell the one and only = a true rythm godess!
