Huuuiiiiiiiiiii! HUUUUIIIIIIII Thanks SO MUCH Espen. Who loves ya'! PR from DK.

Great post! :) I have the soundboard version of this gig, and I agree at least in part with what you said about Jaco's solo on this track. He does use a lot of familiar licks/patterns, but there also some new material in there and as you mentioned he plays with great intensity and focus. Definitely one of the better solos from his later years :)

Jaco was burning until the last minute! 🔥

After checking out of the mental ward of Bellevue Hospital in September 1986, Jaco Pastorius moved to San Francisco to live with drummer Brian Melvin. During this time, the two played a series of shows around California, either as a trio with pianist Jon Davis or with Brian's jam band Nightfood. The tape you're listening to was recorded at The Stone in San Francisco, likely on November 16, and features what I believe to be some of his best playing that year. This song-"Born in Chicago"-was originally recorded in 1965 by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band for their self-titled debut album and was later featured in the 1998 Blues Brothers sequel. The whole band is on fire here, but what really made me want to share this is Jaco's blazing bass solo starting at 05:02. Once you get past the muddy sound quality (and occasional fret buzz), you can hear, in my opinion, some of Jaco's most intense yet creative soloing of his later years. Unlike some of his other bass solos from the mid-'80s, this one doesn't recycle the same couple of licks, instead opting for a more creative approach without sacrificing speed. Also noteworthy are Rick Smith's tenor saxophone solo and Little John Chrisley's harmonica solo, which precede the bass solo. I have both an audience recording (from which I sourced this upload) and a far superior soundboard recording of this jam session, both of which I really like. Let me know your thoughts, and maybe I'll share more in the future. Thanks for watching! www.linktr.ee/jacoarchive

Milioni di esemplari nel mondo ( fatti bene e fatti male che riproducono fedelmente l' aspetto fedele del basso di Jaco... E Voi avete snaturato l' ORIGINALE impregnato del suo sudore della sua sofferenza... E Voi lo avete " ripulito ?!". Non valete neppure i miei insulti peggiori. Non credo che Lui vi perdonerà.

This is brilllllllliant! So much groove and heart - really feeling the need to dance! I keep having to listen to Jaco's solo, it's that seriously good. My private wish is that he was the singer on this, as he'd have eaten that up too. The harmonica player is very good as well. So funny: At the very end, is that Jaco saying "Thank you" with his bass?!

The live spontaneous Jaco performance. I'm glad "new" ones keep surfacing, brings back a time of being young, impressionable and experiencing greatness. Forty years later and those inspired experiences stand out in my lifetime of musical experiences, some transcendant but many not.

Thanks for this Jaco jewel...

❤❤❤❤ Jaco ❤❤❤

He's still the best bass player ever

Yup

The negative comments here just kill me.

This is hilarious I love JD Beck and Domi but I picked up this Weather report record at a flea market and it sounded so corny to me, like jazz for the marketing dept. ok, I guess I’ll give it another go

Great Album : Palladium is my joint

Weather Report is lengendary. Jaco and Joe and Alphonse are tops!

Good Pick! And thanks for the sonic upgrade. Great background photo as well.

Спасибо за редкую запись!

thank you

Can you tell where i can find a live (in N.Y i think) when Jaco play bass with Marcus (i 'm not sure but i think there is Kenwood on drums and Hiram Bullock on guitar) ? You make me very happy if you answer ; anyway thanks for your gold mine

In October 1980, Weather Report performed five shows in Italy. All of them featured great bass solos by Jaco Pastorius, but the song selection and variety of this one might make it my favourite. It was recorded at the second-to-last Italy date, which took place at the Palazzo dello Sport "Giulio Bigi" in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on October 27. This solo is full of interesting quotes and solo bass arrangements and is probably one of the longest solos of the tour. You might catch songs like "River People" and "Blackbird," though the most surprising of them all is The Beatles' "Fool on the Hill," which starts at 4:44. Jaco played, recorded, and quoted many Beatles songs over the years ("Blackbird," "She's Leaving Home," and "Here, There and Everywhere," to name a few), but these Italy bass solos are the only time I have heard him do anything from the Magical Mystery Tour LP. The latter half of the solo features playing to playback of Alan Hovhaness' "Symphony No. 2, Op. 132, Mysterious Mountain: I. Andante con moto," and a distortion-heavy rendition of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze," which had both been fully incorporated into the routine at this point. The most unusual thing about this solo is probably the playback of the "Crisis" bass line, which you can hear at the end. Jaco would perform all of the Word of Mouth album live in the following years, with the sole exception being "Crisis," so hearing this, even if it's just playback, is a treat. 1980 performances of "Slang" are, in my opinion, some of the most interesting, and this is further proof of that. Weather Report continued the tour in Yugoslavia, Central Europe, Spain, and the UK, before resuming the tour in Japan the next year. Sadly, the only tapes from the late 1980 shows to surface are from a Hammersmith Odeon show, which, as good as it is, comes from the less interesting end of the tour in terms of the bass solo. www.linktr.ee/jacoarchive

It's a real slang language : he begining a theme and he stop like a conversation in a bar ; he made a solo who open the news bass players ; he was (for me) THE CREATOR of modern game on bass and he stay the best improvisator

thank you :)

Italians just CAN'T be quiet. Ever. Thanks for the upload, tho.

Yup those were the days. If you like that vibe you might wanna listen to Jean Luc-Ponty's Cosmic Messenger album or Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior.

Always loved WR, compared to other fusion they maxed on melodies, minimized solos and kept a steady groove

Other times. And NOW?

he is such a fabricator.

It's funny how the word fusion is source of contingency, much like Jazz was originally (OGs like Duke Ellington hated the term), but at the end it's not about having a perfectly descriptive name, but about being understood, and both Jazz and Fusion do just that perfectly well

Yeah, Dirty Loops... they're... A lot. I can find any number of aspects of it that i genuinely respect and find interesting. And they're all phenomenal technicians on their instruments, no question. But all together, it just feels like they're throwing everything but the kitchen sink in there, and then they turn around and decide to chuck the sink in the mix too. It's a perfect example of what good musicians are impressed by vs. what great musicians are impressed by. These guys are phenomenal, but the overwrought nature of all of their stuff just ends up feeling like jazz bros trying to impress the cute girls in the front row, and making me wish I could hear the group they'd be if they injected some subtlety in there. THAT would be some really great shit.

A giant step in today bass game ; thank you

“Staying awake till you learn it” is exactly what I did. I was legit almost put on a 5150 when I really got into bass. lol.. true story. 🤪

Honestly : what a treasure !!!

A BIG THANK YOU for this show (Jaco have an excellent sound and game of course ; Joseph a sophisticated keyboard like always ; Peter Erskine to ; just Wayne Shorter have a litle sound) anyway it's a great music ; lot of thanks again

Teen Town <3

❤❤❤

This concert has one of my favorite versions of "Scarlet Woman" on it. And the rest of it is great too of course. Thanks for upgrading the recording! Much better than my copy :)

I’ve watched this multiple times growing up in my teen years and now I’m 32, I just can’t get with it. It just sounds like crap. It’s not enjoyable. I mean, I guess I get how people think he was the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, but it just all sounds sloppy. It sounds exactly like what someone would play at Guitar Center if they played bass for a year.

On July 15, 1979 I attended this concert, I was 19 years old and knew nothing about Jazz or Jazz Rock. It's the concert of my life and 45 years later I'm still thinking about it: What happened to me that evening... As I said much later to Joe Zawinul: When I saw Jaco coming on stage, I thought I saw Bruce Lee with a bass! Joe loved my comparison.. Thank you for posting the sound of this concert!!! Love to Jaco Love to Joe John Beake (From Nice)

I - sadly - never saw/heard Jaco live nor met him ... He is one of my musical heroes of all time !!!

45 years ago today, Weather Report kicked off the 19th annual Jazz à Juan in Juan-les-Pins, France. This was their second time performing at the festival, and the set consisted of songs recorded between 1974 and 1978 with one new addition; the blazing "8:30" / "Sightseeing" medley, which features Jaco Pastorius on drums. The band was at the top of their game, and this mostly complete cassette tape provides us with some fantastic live renditions. Weather Report's versatility is on full display with a setlist featuring everything from the thumping "Scarlet Woman" to a jam-packed rendition of "Teen Town." One of my absolute favourites, though, has to be "A Remark You Made," which features an absolutely stellar outro starting at roughly 8:37. As usual, the group also managed to fit in a bass solo and an improvisational duet featuring more brilliant interplay between Joe and Wayne. The bass solo-almost 10 minutes in length-features heavy use of harmonics, digital delay, and distortion as was usual, but also a short improvisation around Ornette Coleman's "Round Trip" similar in nature to a lot of what he played at the 1979 Newport Jazz Festival New York solo performance some weeks earlier. The solo spots are followed by "Birdland," which ends one of the finest Weather Report live recordings of 1979. Jazz à Juan would continue on July 17 with performances by The L.A. Four and the Concord Super Band. The group wouldn't play in Juan-les-Pins again until 1984, by which point Jaco was touring with his own Word of Mouth Band, and Peter Erskine was touring and recording with the jazz fusion outfit Steps Ahead. Overall, it's a really nice recording. I applied some de-clip and de-click, and now it's even better. Hope you dig it as much as I do!

o man - despite poor sound quality ... I LOVE THIS 🤩 They really had their peak then with Pete & Jaco (!!) ... I'm "too young" - so I missed seeing them live then 🥺 (sorry for my poor English quality)😉

I tried uploading this yesterday on the actual anniversary, but UA-cam age-restricted it. Thoughts on the recording?
