Sammy Rae & the Friends - "Jackie Onassis" (Live at the Print Shop) 

omg 🥺💕 this is adorable

Me for the past week

Baby, just love it, put the harmony and theory aside

Came here to say this.

Why? Because we may love the elements of the recording but the person playing live gets to put their spin on it. It’s not a matter of the player “missing” something. You’re missing it’s presence, I did too! He’s still performing his function very well and with his own creative flair. That’s the live performer’s prerogative. He is there and you aren’t 😂 you can either go listen to the recording or you can go take his job. That’s not gonna happen by whining in the RU-vid comment section. If Sammy and the band wasn’t happy with the bass player’s interpretation of the song he wouldn’t be playing with them for long. I just watched another performance of this song to a huge screaming crowd posted 1month ago so I guess he’s successfully doing his job. Also, a leading tone is always a half-step so it’s redundant to say “leading tone half-steps”. More precisely a leading tone is a major 7th scale degree (raised 7th in minor) resolving upwards to tonic, even of a momentarily tonicized key. So if you’re talking about the series of half-step downwards bass movement in the chorus… those aren’t even leading tones. That harmony is taken from secondary dominants or tritone substitution. It’s voice leading not a leading tone. AND he does do it. He’s just not playing the song like a paint by numbers exercise. There’s always some breathless commenter that needs to prove they know some theory by shitting on the people actually grinding (who also know theory!) Sour grapes lol

Cringe.
