@@xdtshoaquewea not really, have you really listened to Aznar, you can really tell the difference, different type of musicality, kind of phrasing, even sound, using the resources from another musician doesn't make you a copy
This is such a beautiful song. It brings up such feelings that I can't describe adequately but definitely the loss of loved ones, the gratitude for living and the hope for the future
Being exposed to opera at a young age this made me feel like I was at an opera performance how the crowd is silent and how he is truly performing beautiful music
Rajan Genesis N. Sanchez You might be happy to know you have that completely wrong. This was composed in a time of great happiness. A celebration of a wonderful woman.
Im not a musician but you dont have to be to feel music and what i feel is the melancholy of love the polarizing emotions being condensed in a few moments if yall ever been in love with that one you know what i mean neither of yall are wrong necessarily ❤🙌
@@artysanmobile You're right (and YOU are the one to know), Peter - and nice to see YOUR name here ... you engineered three of my favourite albums of all time + I THANK YOU FOR THAT !!! Hello from Germany !
Jaco...the Man...such is the life of great and often misunderstood artists. He will never be equalled only imitated. Remove the frets and free style it.
Jackson Page there’s an rnb group that had some hits in the 90’s, called swv, and they have a song called “rain”. well their song samples portrait of tracy, and redbone samples rain - so they all make a chain in a way. jaco -> swv -> gambino. all make great music too. music is fun as fuck.
He was John Francis Anthony Pastorius the 3rd and the best bass player in the world ever ☝️ that is not a claim but a fact! Love you & miss you Jaco ❤️
@@emetjoaquinbasiliosantorio2125 I think by underrated he means that Jaco is barely known by people nowadays. I myself only know about 5 people who share my same love for Jaco’s music
I dunno if I ever saw him play it live. It's like three false harmonics, so it's really easy for it not to produce as clearly as it does on the album. Even Victor Wooten said he didn't know how Jaco got it so clear on the album.
Holy shit, a version where the crowd is respectful and quiet. Some videos are too hard to watch when it’s just people making noise over the art. I get jazz and clapping after solos but during the performance is so distracting.
Jaco was diagnosed Bi-polar. He became problematic during the last years of his life. Could be why he was fidgety. These days his idiosyncrasies would be viewed as grating.
For me is not really of relevance the diagnosis a psychiatrist made of Jaco psychological estructure.The fact that he was a genius, makes it dificult to find the perfect diagnosis. And as he was using drugs and alcohol, this substances can cause depression, strange behaviors, see unreal things, etc... . It's so easy to put a label in a person!
So your saying he played his own song wrong? No your an idiot he didn't play it wrong he just played it differently like he does every time he plays it live.
Spoken like somebody that doesn't know what they're talking about. They work in totally different musical genres, and use totally different types of techniques. Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan, even Michael Manring, maybe could be compared to Van Halen, but your comment sounds like somebody who hasn't explored music very much and certainly doesn't understand where Jaco was coming from.
36 years after his end of life, Jaco is still the boss of bass players.
It will certainly remain so for eternity.
RIP Jaco 🙏🏼
It's simply amazing that Jaco was able to put this much harmonic complexity on a 4 string bass. For bassist this is highly inspiring.
If any word would apply to Jaco it would be "inspiring."
An inspiration for every musician. Pastorius' compositions are classics.
Jaco was the mad scientist of bass players. He explored uncharted territory on that instrument.
He had such a unique sound. It's impossible to mistake him for any other bass player.
Except for Pedro Aznar
@@xdtshoaquewea Hmm...he's a Jaco copy-cat. I wish people would just quit trying to sound like Jaco.
@@xdtshoaquewea not really, have you really listened to Aznar, you can really tell the difference, different type of musicality, kind of phrasing, even sound, using the resources from another musician doesn't make you a copy
@@ignaciomeyerp si si si que groso que sos
This is definitely one of my favorite renditions he had of this song
I can only imagine how beautiful Tracy was !
Tracy kicked him out of the house in the end for his mental illness, the jerk! He then was killed by a bouncer.
Down bad
This is such a beautiful song. It brings up such feelings that I can't describe adequately but definitely the loss of loved ones, the gratitude for living and the hope for the future
Yes it's all there. Loss, love of life and hope.
Being exposed to opera at a young age this made me feel like I was at an opera performance how the crowd is silent and how he is truly performing beautiful music
This is pure beauty, pure beauty, pure beauty.
This version is probably the best one out there. HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!! He friggin' takes it to a whole new level here. Jaco is the GOAT.
I agree! I never heard him play this much of his original!
Honey for the ears
incredibly calm and amazing feeling...he threw the audience in the silent space !
It is clear Tracy is a complicated woman..
probably would've been a better man without the stress in his life
genuis
Fantastic to see him play this much of his original version! Thanks
perfection at its best
I LOVE YOU JACO
What a beautiful live version, thanks!
Jaco's very beautiful and mysterious play. He is legend. Thank you.
He is one with the universe. I've never admired a musician that much.
This is getting me through a rough time rn man
life can be a cunt sock but it gets better!
How you doing now man? I hope you're in a better place
Monster of bass !!!!!!!!!!
Gone too soon. RIP Jaco
I like this song
Wow!
the clapping in my left ear at the beginning was so G R A N U L A R
I never forget when I first heard Jaco. Beyond the galaxies.
This version is beyond Beautiful.
Mesmerizing...
Incredible composition: Haunting, gorgeous and evocative. Just fabulous...
Mouzon was incredible in THAT THING YOU DO!!!!
So love this..such talent 🙋♀️
Qualité de l'image !!! 🤩🤩🤩
I don't know but everytime I watch this and see the mistake at 1:35 it makes me sad. Like he really stopped playing to regret that note :(
Happy Birthday Jaco
Cheer genius.
The love that men have for women, barely makes waves.
But that shit is REAL.
Tracy was his first wife.
Man, he did love her much.🌹
Love Jaco
SSSSS Silenzio religioso , suona Pastorius. ❤
Epic.
This song states how sad and lonely his life is.....very dark as well.

Hello from Germany !
Actually Jaco composed this in dedication of Tracy, his first wife
Not at all. What makes you say that? This is a beautiful declaration of love.
RIP BRO
Más bien un Retrato de Jaco, inspirado en Tracy ¡! Extraordinario....
Jaco...the Man...such is the life of great and often misunderstood artists. He will never be equalled only imitated. Remove the frets and free style it.
Is no one gonna talk about 2:48??????
He does defy gravity doesn't he?
Taken from us too soon.
Nice to see Jaco repping Philly!
Comments are futile.
That one part kinda reminds me of redbone

Michael Taylor also “Pullin me back” by Chingy
Love it...
J'adore
amazing at the time... and today - it wouldn't cut it. The pioneer of electric bass.
And he being the bridge, had he not done so, today would not be as fine as he has showed.
Underrated song. Underrated bassist.
underrated my dick!
How can you say underrated? He is considered 1 of the best all time by fans and respected musicians all over the world
That’s like saying Michael Jordan was an underrated basketball player.
He was John Francis Anthony Pastorius the 3rd and the best bass player in the world ever ☝️ that is not a claim but a fact!
Love you & miss you Jaco ❤️

Sublime....unfortunately Florida was not the place to be in the early to mid eighties if you had the issue's Jaco had.
Jaco was so underated 😔
Was he? Those who KNEW, knew. Those who didn't know, lost out.
What happened to that beautiful last chord? Did he add it later?
I dunno if I ever saw him play it live. It's like three false harmonics, so it's really easy for it not to produce as clearly as it does on the album. Even Victor Wooten said he didn't know how Jaco got it so clear on the album.
This girl plays just just like Jaco. Impressive!
Anyone know how to play 2:54??
he plays with a armonic chords, the first one is Eb minor
Look at his thumb.
Yup. Lol #GOAT
Yeah he had double jointed thumbs and apparently all his fingers were double jointed as well
who's here because of john myung?
Holy shit, a version where the crowd is respectful and quiet. Some videos are too hard to watch when it’s just people making noise over the art. I get jazz and clapping after solos but during the performance is so distracting.
damn jacob sartorius kinda slaps
Jaco*
His son felix is also a phenomenal bass player. He has another lad who drums, if I remember correctly
@@skinnysnorlax1876 aha yes I know. search up “Jacob sartorius” I was making a joke about that
Respect for the great genius. But how much those continuous and frantic adjustments get on my nerves.
Jaco was diagnosed Bi-polar. He became problematic during the last years of his life. Could be why he was fidgety. These days his idiosyncrasies would be viewed as grating.
@@dragongoff yes I know. That's why I cannot watch.
So maybe just stfu and go somewhere else
@@bassrob88 and... Stfu would be?

He played it wrong.
So your saying he played his own song wrong? No your an idiot he didn't play it wrong he just played it differently like he does every time he plays it live.

The Eddie Van Halen of bass. Boring.

This guy is provoking you... he knows about the genius Jaco and with typing such comments he awaits somebody to bite..
Yes sarcasm is its own insight.
