About why there’s no sound from Verdine White, my opinion is, there’s some problems on his signal chain that day, and maybe he just don’t want to waste the time to figure out what’s going on on his signal chain(It was a busy, tight schedule and complicated stage situation live), so maybe he just tried to played it without amplified.
Ray-Lin Chang come on really??? You really believe that? He’s acting as a bassplayer, bit when it comes down to real exposure, suddenly No volume, Or when you look at his namm demo’s...What is he doing??? He is not real man!
Man you gotta be kidding me. There was no issue with the signal chain? He turned down on purpose. Lamest excuse ever. No bass player does that. You swap cables, etc until you are heard.
For those saying that can not hear Verdine, look at where his hands are placed and watch Marcus when they play Shining Star. You can clearly hear both (Marcus was lower on Shining Star). He is playing at the lower register once his sound came on. It was not on or very low at the beginning
O...M...F...G...this will keep me going for at least...all of time...only forever. People, look at my brothers!...no ego, pure energy, pure essence, spirit...this is 'just' music, but who knows what we accomplished long before our history was purposely stolen and hidden...worth finding out! Oh, that we could have been left alone!... Back to this funk...at 4.00, do you see any conflict here? Only togetherness, only brotherhood. THIS right here is our true state. Calling all True Funk Soldiers...
These here are some of the Greatest ever bassist... There are others to like Nathan East, Stanley Clarke to name a few... Awesome footage of these Greats... Thank you for sharing this video...
So great to see all the "expert" critiques of these legends! If you played at all, you'd appreciate what each of these guys has meant to the evolution of instrument over the last 30 years. If you're "trying" to play and haven't made to these guys level, keep your jealousies to yourself and either listen or take your shallow comments elsewhere. Thanks for the once-in-a-lifetime post...
Rod W it amazes me. I could genuinely appreciate what each contributed in the piece. And over their careers too. Some people are conditioned to find fault. And then wiggle around to justify it.
He's just holding it down. Three people going nuts would be too much for the ears. He doesn't even play slap which is good for him the other two are masters at it but they could probably never wrote a song like Verdine could. They are masters at what they do. It's a not a competition just a bit of back patting and crowd pleasing. Chill out man the Sun is shining.
There's no denying that both Marcus and Larry are some tight players but Verdine have the best face and showmanship,he always looks happy when playing bass!
Some awesome groove there. All three great bassists. I've been listening to Verdine White since I was a kid in high school back in the 70s. Amazing. I'm a drummer, really into prog, but my dream gig would be playing this stuff. The groove is epic.
Well kids, Grandpa has been in two wars, has been married 3 times. Been shot at, has raced nashcar. But funk that, let me tell you about that night a saw Graham / Miller / White play their as% off
There are so many bad ass bass players out there it's impossible to pick the best one i think it all depends on the songs they played on if it was a hit or not🎸🎸🎶🎸🎸
This trio is great. Verdine, Larry & Marcus. I would add Bernard Edwards ( who died) Louis Johnson (died also) Mark Adam's (of Slave who died) & Stanley Clarke.
youre right the bass player they used was the guy who taught verdine how to play he was a trumbone player and arranger named Louis Satterfield,,he even has a bass book on how to play bass a gem if you can get it
Sandra Smith I’m sorry, but in this video it is very very very obvious that Verdine is fake, he got exposed in this video. He turned his volume down on purpose cause he can’t play. How is it possible, that you don’t hear his bass, but you can hear him talk???!!! Fraude bassplayer.
While there is no mistaking that Larry Graham is the father of Thumping (Slap Bass) and Marcus Miller is the new reigning Prince, I find it interesting and incredible when Verdine White suddenly comes alive and hits that "Serpentine Fire" bass lick around minute 9:50 of this video. LOL I've been a Larry Graham fan since he first started and I remember buying Marcus Miller's first album and thinking I was better than him (boy, was I stupid), but when it comes down to it for all of us bass players, NO ONE will ever have the stage presence and legacy of hits that Verdine White has. He is simply a BEAST on stage and those Earth, Wind & Fire bass lines are UNTOUCHABLE.

EXACTLY
PJ Absolutely! Verdine should’ve stayed home because he got exposed by Marcus & LG!
you need to watch and listen more carefully..
I’m in bass guitar heaven.
Ditto!!
I Have Always Loved Marcus Miller (My Thumping Bass Man) Larry Graham (My String Popper) & Verdine White ( The Exciteable One Who Does It All)!!!
I always wanted to see Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins, and Louis Johnson get together. That would've been epic!
Stanley Clarke would've been a nice addition too!
@@sherwinfitz not forgetting Bernard Edwards
Also Mark Adams...
Or Louis Johnson, Nate Phillips (from Pleasure) and Aaron Mills (from Cameo)
60s, 70s, 80s...3 generations of funky bass... GROOVY
I'm not a professional musician but a professional listener of music. BRAVO
Old school funk. Those brothers are keeping the alive.
Not only Stanley my friend, but Boosty and Victor Wooton. That is a bass concert that I would go to in a heartbeat!!!
12 minuts of history right there. 3 bassmasters what a fantastic-funky jam
One word:::: ICONS!!!
I'm bowing down to the bass masters. Grew up with these beasts of bass. I loved playing along with them.
OMG the God's of bass together.
First time ever seeing this, wow! The funk legends!
Oh my gosh, I've died and gone to bass heaven!
BASS LEGENDS!!!!!, NOTHING BETTER!!!!!!
Groove...."interlocking between rhythm section"..outstanding bass player 3 of them....
RIP Mark Adams,,, The GOAT
Pioneers Crown Them All 👊🏾👊🏾
3 icons of funk and soul right here now...
Bass personified. It don't get any better than this. Pure Funk!!!
3 Legends... Don't get much better than that!
What the ef? Had to put my beer down...Three legends throwin' down. The roof was on fire this night.
Three of the best bass players in the world
+Nardocole i hope youre joking. Most of the concerts verdine plays are playback and majority of the ones that arent hes playing like shit.
+rantanen1 You know fuck all about Bass then
idiot...
@@rantanen1 u r correct sir
July 25: Happy birthday bassist Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the post. Blessings
3 Bass legends having fun! Awesome
Just two...
Three of the best and Verdine being my favorite!!
Marcus is holding down the groove, Graham is adding some funk Larry Graham style and Verdine is perpetrating!
Three great funk bassists. Outstanding. Good to see the first innovator play along with two of his "progeny."
Verdine is all fingers.
He influenced Mark Adam's of SLAVE
@@ezedikeohamadike9003 🎶👍🔥
Three generations of bass, Marcus grew up listening to Larry G. and Verdine!
Love it!
For those saying that can not hear Verdine, look at where his hands are placed and watch Marcus when they play Shining Star. You can clearly hear both (Marcus was lower on Shining Star). He is playing at the lower register once his sound came on. It was not on or very low at the beginning
Seen a recent interview with SLY. My GOD HE NEEDS OUR Prayers!!
One instrument with entirely different skills and definitions. Gosh!
Love listening to smooth jazz all the time
That's real music played by musicians!
All of them funky, without question and let's not forget Nathan East!
Larry Graham - the Father of FUNK BASS
The Slap father.
O...M...F...G...this will keep me going for at least...all of time...only forever.
People, look at my brothers!...no ego, pure energy, pure essence, spirit...this is 'just' music, but who knows what we accomplished long before our history was purposely stolen and hidden...worth finding out! Oh, that we could have been left alone!...
Back to this funk...at 4.00, do you see any conflict here? Only togetherness, only brotherhood. THIS right here is our true state.
Calling all True Funk Soldiers...
Right on
My
People
THE KINGS
Larry is very down to earth and not arrogant. I've met him several times. Always nice!
Yes he is a very nice guy; he really is....known him for years, and he is a very spiritual guy.
Henrik West i met him with prince in 2002.
Verdine is a solid brotha as well.
Man that was out of this world to watch. Fabulous.
What is not to like about those guys - wow!!!!
Three of the BADDEST in the Game!!!
ahhhhh 3 great funk masters right here...
These here are some of the Greatest ever bassist... There are others to like Nathan East, Stanley Clarke to name a few...
Awesome footage of these Greats...
Thank you for sharing this video...
I saw Larry and victor wooten play at the birchmere. FANTASTIC
Marcus Miller My personal favourite..... got all his CD ;s but I like all the rest Victor Wooten !!! too they are pure Genius !!
Absolutely awesome!!!

im with ya on that...guys like this make you want to play bass better...
Now That's WORD!
Rod W it amazes me. I could genuinely appreciate what each contributed in the piece. And over their careers too. Some people are conditioned to find fault. And then wiggle around to justify it.
I've decided to put this on my Alarm clock. Yessir, buddy!
You all are bad. I grew up on this,music and our music 🎶🎵🎵🎵 🎶🎶 is bomb.. Never dies.
It is alive, and poppin period.😁
I would have loved to have seen FLEA up there playing alongside these 3 great funkateers!!
That is just too much funk on that stage!!! Man! Wish I was there!
خ
ههه89
BASS IS IN THE PLACE.
These guys just made me a groove sammich!
Three of the best that ever did it Marcus Larry and Verdine White OMG
He's just holding it down. Three people going nuts would be too much for the ears. He doesn't even play slap which is good for him the other two are masters at it but they could probably never wrote a song like Verdine could. They are masters at what they do. It's a not a competition just a bit of back patting and crowd pleasing. Chill out man the Sun is shining.
funkyfingrz I agree with you...don't think he played on the records IMO
This is just too good!
There's no denying that both Marcus and Larry are some tight players but Verdine have the best face and showmanship,he always looks happy when playing bass!
Totally agree,Verdine also has UBER class/passion of his profession that,in my opinion ranks among the all-time bass greats!!!!
but Nathan East looks more happiest when playing bass
Well I guess it's easy to look happy when you're not really playing anything! 🤣🤣🤣
SOUL BROTHERS NUMBER 1 2 & 3 on da one’s & two’s!!
If it doesn’t move your soul….. you have none!?
BASS LEGENDS! If u don’t kno now u kno!!!
Thanks for posting this. True Icons... The only one missing is Wayman! God Rest his soul.....
Some awesome groove there. All three great bassists. I've been
listening to Verdine White since I was a kid in high school back in the

That's funny 🤣🤣
It's a sad day when bass players don't recognize the legendary Verdine White in a video featuring Marcus and Larry...
Austin Herrington sad day when you can't hear Verdine because he turns his volume down on purpose.....not him on the records....
Larry is the best
Very sad day.
Old School Funka-Delic I miss real musicians
A Victor Wooten concert remains the best showcasing of bass playing I've ever seen.
There are so many bad ass bass players out there it's impossible to pick the best one i think it all depends on the songs they played on if it was a hit or not🎸🎸🎶🎸🎸
i think they should be very happy with the drummer and the guitarist , keeping it together
All it takes to make a band is 3 great bass players jamming out to the groove all together!👌 Lol
This trio is great. Verdine, Larry & Marcus. I would add Bernard Edwards ( who died) Louis Johnson (died also) Mark Adam's (of Slave who died) & Stanley Clarke.
And Boosty and Rick James as front man! Some of the best
Don’t forget about victor wooten
What about Aaron Mills from Cameo
@@42afrosheen Aaron mills used to be my teacher
The stage would’ve levitated.
youre right the bass player they used was the guy who taught verdine how to play he was a trumbone player and arranger named Louis Satterfield,,he even has a bass book on how to play bass a gem if you can get it
Only person missing was Bootzilla!
I was just about to post that
No doubt, as well as LOUIS "THUNDER THUMBS" JOHNSON! ;))
@@coachrobinson9958 Yep..The Great Thumper of all time would've been a problem up there..
Dont forget Stanley Clark.
all we need is Stanley Clarke!
Also Louis Johnson
ENTIRELY too much funk for that stage to handle!!! This is awesome!!
AWESOME !!!!
3 Icons ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. Brilliant 👏
What a night! Thanks for posting this. I was in the audience at the front to the right of Verdine. :)
“Shining star for you to see…
What your life can truly be!”
Dam !!! I wish i was in the front row on this JAM !!
This is bloody brilliant
That was thoroughly enjoyable! Great job guys!
This is TOP SHELF bass playin!!!!
Add Bootsy Collins to this and you would have the genesis of bass in popular music
DAMN!!! THEY PUT THAT "STANK" ON IT!!! LOL!!!
all about the BASS
That's too funky for a new skunk smell in 2021. Well damn.
Too awesome (Graham Miller and White), I expected Verdine to fly in from the air while he happily whips his bass' ass
the bass jam got it going on in the mix..
Yes these are some bass beasts brothers❤❤❤
Three god's of Bass...
Abraham Jackson no man, just 2. Marcus and Larry. Verdine is faking it for many years. This video is another proof.
i have never seen any one play a bass like louis johnson back in 1980,that was in london if you was their you know what i mean
Them some funky ones!!!
I love Verdine!!
Sandra Smith I’m sorry, but in this video it is very very very obvious that Verdine is fake, he got exposed in this video. He turned his volume down on purpose cause he can’t play. How is it possible, that you don’t hear his bass, but you can hear him talk???!!! Fraude bassplayer.

He is simply a BEAST on stage and those Earth, Wind & Fire bass lines are UNTOUCHABLE.
All Star Lineup...All you need is Louis Johnson,Bootsy,Michael Henderson and Leon Sylvers
yeah! Awesome jam
I più grandi bassisti funky della storia
Larry Graham is the man! You know he was feelin nice that night too! Lmao
Отличное трио басистов!
Three of my influences all together at once!!! If only Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten were with them!!!!...........
Hopefully music can bring us together. We ALL have one FATHER!
History in the making.With some the greatest.
