is this an album? what do they call the group? The sound quality is really good for a live gig.

[ArvaF]

the "artist" is called after their last names and the album is named "live at the baked potatoe", I think....

[winnerbaby44]

vinnie here is unbelivable

what the fuck!?

oO

[ArvaF]

Yeah. This, along with peaches en reaglia by zappa on tinseltown rebellion, are his best preformances according to me.

This sounds like that upbeat, happy, "elevator fusion" made by anonymous studio musicians for students attending Musicians Institute. I always expect, when great musicians get together, that the result will be disappointing and this was no exception. I understand they need the money but still, considering what they're capable of, it's embarrassing.

[ArvaF]

Pardon my french, but you have no idea what you are talking about, obviously.

:-O ...... Excuse me, I need to change my underwear.

Michael Landau is the king on guitars

@maksmail - "Happy" as in a "smoove jazz" kind of way, e.g., Kenny G, The Rippingtons, Najee, Boney James, Four Play, etc. Remember, I'm referring to Mathieson's keyboard patch and not their musicianship. I like warm, organic sounding, keyboards that stand the test of time so, for me, this patch sounds dated and reminds me of an 80's Yamaha DX-7 or other awful 80's keyboard. For me, can't go wrong with a classic Hammond B3, Fender Rhodes, ARP, Sequential Circuits, E-Mu or today's Nord Lead.

@drum6669 - Absolutely nothing.

[maksmail]

@Cambodia69 What do you mean by "happy"? I love how well balanced and moody their playing is. Like Landau. He plays all the notes there are in his solo (pretty much) but sets them up in a way that it creates a mixture of colors. I get frequently bored of listening to music that's either minor or major. There are lots of other colors you can get by mixing. He starts with a relatively darker sounds and then suddenly kicks in major 3rd. That's what makes him so interesting to listen. Unexpectedness

[Cambodia69]

@luvtogothere - And you sound like a guy that can't tolerate those who have a different opinion from yours. Just because great players get together to make music, doesn't guarantee that the result will live up to the expectations of the listener and maybe mine were too high for this date. Surely we've all heard great music by much lesser musicians and awful music from great musicians. For me, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and here, even Vinnie's playing couldn't save this tune.

[Cambodia69]

@stretch54 - Yeah, you got that right, I don't like the composition. And it's the keyboard sound that gives it that happy, toe-tapping, dental-office-lobby-background­-music feeling that ruins it for me. Otherwise, yes, the playing - particularly Vinnie's - is sick. As always, Michael sounds great and Abraham Laboriel, while I'm not a fan of his tone, surely has his own, unique, voice on the instrument. I'm still sticking with my original comment though because of the tune and Mathieson's sound.

[golferal]

Every time I think I've heard Vinnie's best performance, he blows my dick off with something like this. Ho-lee shit!

[JayDeeGee]

@7spqr7 maybe it's an album, but you can also find the song in Abraham Laboriel's album called "Dear Friends"

[joetube1]

They call the band Karizma

[dustydino8]

THATS SOME SLAMMIN STUFF !
