  • Nice to see that a weedy ass white guy who weighs less than his clothes can still funk it like a kufi wearing mofo on the bass.

  • I HATE WHITE SKUM

  • AWE!! this great!

  • total respect to farka toure father and son. but this is typical live-jam shit

  • good ol Timmy K on drums, hes a beast.

  • These riffs were in the Malian repertoire a few thousand years before Bono was born. You have it back-to-front.

    Another one from Malian tradition is the "Little Red Rooster" riff.

    Vieux has put the line from U2's song in it to make it a little more accessible to his audience.

    "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

    is just a 12-bar blues. I think U2 owes more to Malian music than the other way around.

  • sound more like I shot the sheriff

  • this sounds no better than the one by u2, how many songs have people copyed from u2 and made it into there own version!?!

  • Yep it's cool ;-)

  • I like this :)
