David Spidel solo with the Eric Solomon Band live at the Spirit Bar Nelson, BC

Here's a touch of the footage from our tour March 2009. I'm playing my Spector NS-5H2-EX with a spalted maple top and an amber finish. Funkiest band I've been a part of!

The band is:
Eric Solomon - Keys, Vocals
Alex Maher - Sax, Vocals, Beat Box
Chris Davis - Trumpet, Vocals
Dan Ross - Guitar, Vocals
Tim Proznick - Drums
David Spidel - Bass

hey - i thought i posted a comment about this guy not being so bueno.

he gets over his head and blows the scale pretty regularly and he can't quite transition from one of his well rehearsed tricks to the other.

not bad for a dude who plays on a cruise ship, but don't post a 'look how great i am' video and expect educated musicians to pretend you don't kinda suck.

Hey Honk, thanks for your comments. I did delete your first comment. But I'm not sure what you mean. There are lots of guys on youtube who display solo work, this is purely improvised without any planning. I think I'm pretty good, but not amazing, and I see you share the same view. Maybe you can post something of your own playing I can learn from. Until then, you got nothing on me.

David Spidel is on a track by Dave Martone called "Turn Up The Heater". If any of you think he isn't good, you should check it out. It's on Youtube. David sounds incredible on it.

respect

I am a bassist and im not fuckin deaf either.......you obviously know nothing about fusion/jazz/funk music.........its not about how much "better" you are than the next guy.......graham and collins were good for thier time. moran and spidel are an evolution of the instrument. go tell bunny brunel or andrew gouche that 5 and six strings are a sin. if you dont know who they are, you can go pound sand. dont fuck with proz either......that fuckin guy is the best drummer this city has.

@hankandthetwins - when people get pissed off at you for your comments, it doesnt mean your right. it means upi should go wash mouth out with dick sauce. now go share your low level comments with your richard simmons look alike boyfriend.

[prozdrums]

@hankandthetwins - if you think bootsy and larry graham were his biggest influences your an idiot. you probably are some washed up musician who couldnt make it on your instrument so you ended up "trying" to dis players on you tube who are comin up. if you had crudentials on your page then i might give you some sort of credit, but you aint got shit.

[RadixBloom]

@hankandthetwins sorry, try again, my slam was still better than yours and I didn't even have to resort to the classic gay/dick references. You just aren't any good at witty comebacks. And to your retort, how the hell can you invest time into something you are already investing all you time into? Duh it's real life you moron, and I do believe something bad WILL eventually happen to you, people only put up with people like you for so long and one day some short fused person will snap on you.

[hankandthetwins]

yeah, one problem dick lick;

this isn't a horror movie. it's called 'real life'.

invest some time in it.

'everyone cheers' ...god you're gay.

[RadixBloom]

@hankandthetwins wow, something very bad is crouching behind a rock waiting for you. You're the guy in the horror movies who just has to end up getting horribly mangled then screams like a girl and everyone cheers because he was a miserable geeky know it all ass and his character was only there so you could enjoy seeing him get it huge at the end!! Take you beloved larry and bootsy and go play dolls in your back yard till you meet your inevitable fate.
