I saw them during this tour in Edmonton, canada, every guitar players dream, my eyes were glued to his fretboard most of the show. Amazing musicians on that stage
I suffered through the 70s Elton John heavy metal and disco, all I wanted to hear was rock and roll, Chuck Berry driving rhythm reverb guitars, then 1980 Brian setzer stray cats, I couldn't believe it ,he brought back rock and roll at its purest sense and made it fashionable,
When I studied music at Goldenwest College in Huntington Beach, California, I had one of the best jazz teachers ever. In our jazz improvisation class, several techniques were presented for creating an interesting improvised solo. One of the techniques was to play familiar quotes from well-known melodies. In this video, (which is mostly remarkable for the upright bass duel) I noticed that the 'melody' that Brian Setzer actually quotes during his solo is the sound of tuning of the guitar.
Pepe Roberto not surprising since guitar is his forte. I Noticed he played his bass more like a guitar than the other two guys who are percussionist by trade.
Would love to see them live never had the privilege. I love when artist are truly great live and great instrumentalist. I can tell these guys are masters. I remember during the hey day of MTV these guys came out of nowhere and tore the scene up. Right away I wanted to dress like they did. It was all just a clever throwback to the 1950s rockabilly with a modern flare. It was perfect for the times.
This is awesome. I just started listening to this type of music when I got into a band called Highway Hi-Fi. My buddy plays the upright bass in that band. Rockabilly is so easy to listen to.
Inspiring for us who are learning how to play Bass. My beloved husband tells me if I can play well on his Maton Bass, made locally in Australia, Bayswater, in the 70's, he shall reward me with a double Bass. I want a classic wooden one.
I saw the Cats play Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo on Halloween night 1982. They played the Munsters theme song for about 10 minutes. Kleinhans is an old classic hall and I thought the place was going to fall apart from the excitement. It was an unforgettable sight and feeling.
Depuis les années 80 ils ont fais du chemin nos stray cats ils sont devenus les rois du rockabilly et ils assurent aux maximums nos légendes bien vivantes pour nôtre plus grands bonheurs que dieu les protège .
Geez, is this all Brian and the Bass Abusers can do? Couldn't they do back flips_light them on fire_launch them into space and make them blow up or something? Ha, ha, wish I'd been there! Setzer is sensational.
This was at the House Of Blues Chicago. I was in the front row with my band mates not far from this camera, i can hear my voice screaming. Awesome Vid!
As a drummer who's rocked the cowbell I disagree... However, as a musician who wants to learn the upright bass... I fully agree!! Yes there is an internal conflict...
Damn respect the upright bass is hardddd to play! Ok cuz I play it as well you need to put a lot of power in the notes you play or it won’t come out as loud!
