The awesome Victor Bailey, sitting as he couldn't walk and time was not on his side. So sad, such a talent and beautiful personality. R.I.P Vic and your music will live on forever. Cheers
Everytime I get back to this live show, Vic just leaves me spellbound, the artistry and the spirituality in his eyes are just invincible! RIP Vic, you're truly missed sir!
Christian, I'm pretty sure you gotta love every single thing on that stage.... just sayin. There is more talent on this stage than in most small to medium size countries. lol
Lenny, Lenny always keeping that fat pocket! Congrats on all your success Lenny, I've been watching you hitting the skins for years - LOVED you with Clarke and Petrucciani as well, wonderful stuff! -HP
Don't see how anyone can criticize Beka- sure he has to find his own voice but the dude is what- sixteen here? Probably could have said the same thing about Trane and Bird if they were recorded at this age... not to say he's in that class but his ideas are certainly unique. Chick is a great fan of his and that says something, not to mention how many established musicians are seeking him out nowadays...
Met Victor at Berklee in 1979. At 18 years old he was outstanding. The best bassist in Boston during that time. Vic played in a band with Steve Vai. Steve too was 18 years old. Victor played a red Fender Jazz bass then. He always said he would play with Weather Report. I have many stories to tell about those days. I'll share as many as I can.
meh...I gotta call ya out on this "best bassist in Boston during that time" thing. I was in Boston, and at Berklee, for most of the same years Victor was there. Wayne Pedzwater was still around for at least the last few years of the 70s, Tim Landers also, Tim Archibald was around then too, Bruce Gertz was playing a lot of electric around town then, and *all* those cats could eat Vic for lunch without breaking a sweat. The thing that was so cool about Vic was HOW MUCH HE GREW *after* he joined Weather Report. The guy we're hearing in ^^^this video here from 2012 didn't exist in Boston in 1979. He was somewhat gifted and definitely confident at that time, but man was 18-year-old Vic *not* a world class musician. Tough Love...
@@BobRoss-gr9px okay, I'm back with you. All the guys you named were good players. 👍 I'm committing on Vic because he was special. I saw it instantly in Vic, Steve, Tommy Campbell and Randy Roos. That's all I'm speaking of. The bass players that I remember. Were sounding like Jaco, all of them. I made a little noise myself. But, I was sounding like Stanley Clarke. My drummer was Ronald Savage. We were hot. But this isn't about me. Those guys were exceptional. The players you spoke of were to me just players. I saw them. But wasn't impressed. Victor, Steve Vai, Tommy Campbell and Randy were exceptional. I remember one of your guys played a Carl Thompson Piccolo Bass. Peace, hit me back.
