Great performance aside, The Lone Star should get a mention here. What a fantastic venue. You could sit at the bar, and be quite literally within 15 feet of the stage. I remember seeing Roy Buchanan there, and I was so close I could read the serial number on his headstock, I'm talking inches away, not feet. So many incredible performers played there after their main gigs. SRV would pop over after his arena shows and gig for hours. He played with Buddy Guy there once. What a joint that was.

@coitershoiter - Jaco as a shadow of his former self was still miles ahead of 98% of the guys out there. You could hear it though those last years, the Modern Electric Bass video included, the chops were there, the riffs were there, but it sounded hollow. To quote Pat Metheny, "the fire and intensity" were no longer there. Still, what a great gift and blessing he was to music fans everywhere. Like you said, "For many of us his worst playing is as good as many can ever hope to achieve."

@coitershoiter I think what is meant is for what he had become at the end of his time was a far cry from where he was back in his prime,For many of us his worst playing is as good as many can ever hope to achieve,and too others his prime made his latter stuff seem horrific. Either way its not the way he should be spoken of but we cant change every single persons opinion of when if and how he is to be appreciated.

Just shut the fuck up and play.

@violetrod the bastard who killed him was the bar owner and had a black belt...

@vibroluxor don't get me wrong man , I admit that becoming a rock star was the ultimate goal when I set out but after the band I was in started getting press , and the offers to play on records began coming in , I had to make a decision to leave the boys behind , as we had no original material. I cant say I don't wish I had stuck with it , for my own satisfaction , but I hadnot the patience or th e self confidence . I miss the stage alot more than I miss the studio for sure .

@Cincinnatus1869 Dude, why do you care if your efforts "satisfy the general public" ? I say - if youre satisfied, you owe no one. if you are not, you owe yourself.

I have kids as well, and i've played what I liked, rather than what I had to. sometimes it worked out, others it didn't. I play pubs and clubs now because at this stage I make more money managing computer networks than playing guitar. I

@vibroluxor I have made alot of money playing sessions over the yrs . It is difficult to satisfy yourself artistically doing that . I never had any desire to play the pub curcuit or to try and schmooz the record execs so as to get a deal . Am I not a 'true musician ' , because I took the route that got me paid rather than to ' pay my dues " scraping by and hoping that the general public would accept me ? If that is arrogant then I am guilty , but I had young kids and bills to pay .
