Wow, the things you run into on UA-cam. I was at this gig, remember it vividly. April 1992 at The Strand in Redondo Beach. All of these guys playing at the top of their game. Thanks for posting. Two months later I was back at the Strand to see the VSOP "Tribute to Miles" band with Wayne, Herbie, Ron, Tony, and Wallace Roney, the one and only time I ever saw the late great Tony Williams live, another amazing gig. RIP Wallace Roney 2020
Remember listening to Vinnie destroy the drums on the scketchbook album that last tune Schophile is some of the best drumming i ever heard, power, technique and dynamics Vinnie is a genius
That's in interesting observation. I was listening to the introduction to Spaceships, thinking that actually there are very few musicians on earth now or at any time who come close to Vinnie. Patitucci is obviously a superb player but once you've heard him a few times, you kind of have the measure of him. I enjoy his playing, but I seldom find him surprising. On the other hand, I've heard Vinnie take a 45 minute drum solo and never repeat himself...and then do another one that is totally different. That is a profoundly different level of creativity from most musicians. If you think of Bach being able to improvise a fugue in 4 parts on a given subject off the top of his head, or Mozart knocking off a set of variations on Twinkle Twinkle, (blindfold while drunk at a party!),, or Art Tatum taking 20 choruses of Blue Moon, each of which is unique, then you're in Vinnie's ballpark. It's not that there aren't a lot of brilliant musicians, only that there are a few whose particular combination of attributes seems to give them an almost superhuman ability. It's worth remembering that Bach said that anyone who worked as hard as he did could do what he did, and Vinnie is a legendarily obsessive practicer and has been for most of his life. Couple that with playing daily with the best players in the world for decades and you start to have some understanding of how it's possible, but that only takes you so far. "Genius" is a vastly overused and chronically misunderstood word. It's a word we should use with care and, in my experience, an extremely rare phenomenon, but I do think it applies to Vinnie. Brilliant though he is, I'm not sure it applies to John P.
@@musopaul5407 Soloing is not the only criteria we can compare if John is on the same level as Vinnie or not. Still, sfter 3 decades i still haven`t found a bass player that plays such tasteful (but also techcnically driven) solos on 6 string bass and upright bass with such an impeccable tone, unmatched even 30 years later. His bow technique is also very good which makes him an even rarer breed without even dipping into his solo career as a composer and band leader. It`s not just the ability to improvise that makes him on the same level as Vinnie, it`s all of the abovementioned, especially considering that Vinnie`s solo discography contains only one ( very good) album compared to John`s 15+ albums, all of which are very good.
@@stratrovarius That's a fair point. John is a far more prolific composer and more of a band leader than Vinnie. I also agree that Pattitucci is a really great bass player, incredibly versatile on both electric and double bass and a serious virtuoso. I just don't believe that as a player, he's the same as Vinnie. That's not to say Vinnie is a "better" musician. I don't think being a great musician is necessarily allied to being a great player. I simply think that Vinnie's skill-set is of a once-in-a-generation type. I went to Berklee in the 80s. One night I went to see Vinnie play at Ryles in Cambridge, on a gig sponsored by Rick Beato, then a lowly guitar student at NEC (I think). They were playing charts by Aydin Esen, an incredible Turkish pianist. It was all meter changes, weird hits and polyrhythms. They were really hard and I knew some of them because my teacher at the time, Ed Uribe, himself no slouch as a drummer, played in a band with Aydin playing his music. Vinnie's plane from LA had arrived late and he was sight-reading on the gig. He had the charts on the floor. On the first head, he read them as good as Ed ever played them; by the last head, he wasn't even looking at the charts any more and played around these figures flawlessly, like he'd been doing them his whole life! I've played with a lot of great musicians and listened to many more, but I've never seen anything like that.
@@musopaul5407 Thank you for this detailed answer and inside story. Vinnie`s sight reading is well known since his Zappa days. There is a video of Steve Vai telling a joke (yet a true story) about this. Anyways, they sure both make a dream rhythm section: ua-cam.com/video/4eAuY8ctd2k/v-deo.html
Except for the fact that John Pattitucci wrote these songs! Oh and Vinnie totally blew it that night with his performance of "Spaceships". The drum solo at the beginning of the song was overplayed and without taste, he was noodling live. He continued this all through the song. No development, just turned that dial all the way to 100 percent. The recorded version of Spaceships makes much more sense composition-wise.
Name of the tune is Scophile, and I am 99% sure it's also featured on the Sketchbook-album. If you like that sort of a tune you would loose your breath from listening to Eric Marienthals album Crossroads wich is also one of the best Electric jazz recordings of the 90's.
You know most peak and they have their signature licks....Vinnie doesn't milk anything....He keeps saying something new.....He truly speaks the language in a profound way.... He has reached another level on this Brian Eisenberg tune.... This is incredible! ua-cam.com/video/ftVspJ1FjLs/v-deo.html
It's funny At the beginning of the concert how John looks bAck At Vinnie two times, mAybe surprised how strong Vinnie wAs off to At just the first notes of the set, As if oblivious to the bAnd. I heArd of how Scott Henderson got thrown off the mothership by it's cAptAin, the lAte greAt Chick Corea, because he somehow didn't plAy with the same feeling of the music At the moment the band wAs plAying it...or something of thAt sort. You Always noticed with RTF or Elektric BAnd, even with All the great musicians there like StAnley ClArke, Al di MeolA, FrAnk GAmbAle et AL, thAt whenever they played some tune, they Always played it with the same feeling. You could see it how members of the band would Almost Always , though intermittent, from time to time, fix their eyes on Chick, communicating. MAybe this ensemble, big names though they All Are, just hAsn't hAd time enough to rehearse. Great musicians As these Are though, by the middle of the set, they seem to have found cohesiveness.

A Beast. He was high here.? We never know. I know he had a little expierence with cocaine. 33:11 first he touch his glasses then he touch his nose. Haha. I dont know. Could it be.

John is probably one of the kindest human beings on the planet earth! He is at the same level as Vinnie no doubt about it....and I am a drummer

Today…
Is Upright playing is mostly what I’m talking about. Vinnie Really play some beautiful things on all of John’s records

Vinnie Colaiuta is a beast. Period.
My favorite bass player & drummer !!!
Vinnie live feat. John Patitucci.

Colaiuta. Nothing else matters.
I love Old Vinnie
it's amazing what I am willing to stomach just to be able to listen to more live Vinnie. Take Patitucci's shirt, for instance.
😂😂😂
God bless the guy who put this up!
The King of Bassists!!!
Ahhh... Vinnie Colaiuta at his most outrageous. What a joy to watch. Thank you uploader.

Nice, this video has reminded me that one cant get to the end of an endless lesson an instrument retains in itself for whom choose to take its offer.
VINNIE MONSTER!!!!!!
VINNIE is a beast...THE BEST. Even with today's gospel type one way players who think they are the shit, could never even be his roadie...lol'

Holy F’n shit Vinnie is amazing and what a band this is.
Name of the tune is Scophile, and I am 99% sure it's also featured on the Sketchbook-album.
If you like that sort of a tune you would loose your breath from listening to Eric Marienthals album Crossroads wich is also one of the best Electric jazz recordings of the 90's.
Wow! This is a gem! Fantastic performance! Awesome musicians! Love them forever! Vinnie, John two of my heroes!

OH YEAH ! Thanks so much for putting this up, cheers!!!!
This is prior to his TRBJP signature model from YAMAHA. So it has to be some kind of TRB6P. But it has Yamaha custom shop written all over it =P
