It is a great feeling to know that there are people that appreciate music like this. From a bass player Thank you for hearing. And sharing the things that music the medium conveys.
Most great bassplayers start playing good, mature basslines in their late twenties, at best. Zender started playing bass at 16 when he worked as a circus artist(!), played in a punkband(!) for 2 yrs, joined Jamiroquai and from the start played genious, funky basslines on a level far above most players before and after him. A true bass prodigy.
This firmation is like the USA nba all star team. Jordan era. There isn't a single flaw in this band. Every single body is tearing the shit out of their instruments and Jay (his voice). Just perfect dude.
Stuart Zender is an amazing bassist, no doubt! But he was in the company of some of the most amazing musicians living at the time who were all in their twenties. Please give love to the unbelieveable Toby Smith(R.I.P.) on keyboards, lyrical genius Jay Kay, the super funky Derrick McKenzie on drums and that killer horn section. Jamiroquai was one of the best live groups in the world performing in the 90's!
Love Zender's use of space.. doesn't fill up the holes with grace notes but does add them tastefully.. bloody overplaying bass players don't get the negative space concept
Seriously, Mike Smith, the saxophonist, was/is obviously influenced by John Coltrane. Gotta love how the ending solo sounds like a straight tribute to the legend. Anyway, this has got to be one of Jamiroquai's best performances ever. I am watching this again after years, and I'm immediately pulled back into their groove.
@@sarascarpati887yes. From What i understand. He was 17 when he joined the band. And 18 when they recorded. And 19 on a world tour…. As the most prominent bass player in the industry. It’s incredible.
not really, jamiroquai is fine now with paul turner, they have their own eras, stu would be more suitable with the old funky hobo-style jamiroquai, but paul will suit better with nowadays jamiroquai
Agree. While I like this era the best and nobody can top Zender, I think Paul Turner is the 2nd best bassist they've had over the years. That dude is a beast, too.
Stuart's timing and fleetness of funk just grew and grew. Listen to this in '97 at Phoenix. He's even more completely, completely on it. Come back and hear here how he's just A TAD behind on some licks. He just got better.
ZENDER,IS A MONSTER,A DAMN BEAST ON BASS GUITAR!!! A LOT OF CATS,CAN PLAY BASS...BUT CAN'T GROOVE!!! ZENDER.IS A GROOVE (MASTER)!!! LISTEN,TOO THAT BASSLINE,BABY THATS GROOVEN!!! (DAMN)...JUST FUNKY!!!
You guys always celebrate Stu Zender, and you're right to do so. But you always forget the big influence Toby Smith gave to the band back then, in fact the whole band, Simon Katz, Derrick McKenzie...
Because the whole band line up has completely changed. Stuart Zender co-wrote many of the tracks on the first 4 albums as did Toby smith (who sadly passed away). They did away with the horn section, Sola the percussionist and Wallace the Didge player. I think Derrick is still on drums. This is when Jamiroquai were at their best imo.
Recently saw JK on his motorbike. My mrs and i were driving into brighton for the weekend and i saw him heading out. Didn't quite catch what bike it was but he had a feather in his open face helmet and shades on. Always loved jamiroquai since acid jazz days so it was a great way to kick off the weekend. Great memory.
god, he sings well in Lives. His performance is just.. incredible.. i knew him but never really listend him.. only now i see he is a great singer!.. and i was searching This track from long time ago.. thx satanpolenc

Dude, ive been trying to learn his style for a few years now, maybe one day ill understand where he comes from musically. No one holds a candle to his style, not even fyffe or turner as badass as they are, though fyffe was kind of closeish but not really.

It is a great feeling to know that there are people that appreciate music like this. From a bass player Thank you for hearing. And sharing the things that music the medium conveys.
I was 28 year'sold dear, great times...
amazing
Stuard was 18 or 19 in this
An amazing bunch of the coolest cats! The very best version of Jamiroquai!
It's rare you ever get to witness such a natural bassist such as stuart zender. The man had the groove. Nobody could take it from him.
I just learnt this bass line and then Zender plays it here completely differently to the album version... so smooth
Stuart is as smooth as hot butter!
The guitarist also deserves some love played tight af funky ah and right in the pocket great guitar tone
@@surfboarding5058Stu gets all the adoration because he left. But people never talk about his other work. I wonder why?
@@NotCharAznable the guitarist left even before stu
We all miss THIS Jamiroquai!!
Agree !
Facts!
True dat! This was the real deal lineup!
I love Jay Kay, but let's agree... Stu Zender is a legend
Jaqueline Moreira ye this guy is.... wonderfull
+Jaqueline Moreira His groove is soo tight !
kid could sure play.... still can, no doubt.. just wish he would!
If JK had actually paid him what he was worth he would probably still be in the band ;-)
he's a god
There is no bass player like stu, Jamiroquai was never the same without him.
Such a groove, such a creative bass player.
it doesnt seem to be stu
@@levanidusIt's DEFINITELY Stu.
So ahead of time with his lyrics
Jamiroquai is a genre

The only person with a brain.
I’ve seen him 3 times, they are a phenomenon to watch, greatest funk band of all time in my eyes
The band lost its edge when Stuart lefted. What a talent.
I agree.
The musicianship is truly astounding, can't think of any modern band that can even comes close.
Listen to vulfpeck
Maybe Snarky Puppy.
@@claudevieaul1465Yup! Those guys are unreal!
Love Zender's use of space.. doesn't fill up the holes with grace notes but does add them tastefully.. bloody overplaying bass players don't get the negative space concept
amen bro
it's what i love about him and Esperanza Spalding.. the art of leaving stuff out.
So true, and I love his passing notes too.. not what a lot of players would choose.. makes him very interesting to listen to
yeah I do love it when people keep it in the pocket
30 years since I have been coming back to this song, and others with SZ on bass. And I can still learn so much from SZ’s use of negative space.
No autotune, real music. Great to hear
From 1993 to 2003 this band one of the best on planet hands down. M
RIP original keyboardist and songwriter Toby Smith....epic song, huge loss :((
Amazing producer..i think he and Stu Z had a lot to do with jamiroquai sound..
Nothing as good as this today ;)
Seriously, Mike Smith, the saxophonist, was/is obviously influenced by John Coltrane. Gotta love how the ending solo sounds like a straight tribute to the legend.
Anyway, this has got to be one of Jamiroquai's best performances ever. I am watching this again after years, and I'm immediately pulled back into their groove.
Jesus, Zender was only 20 years old then, and an insane bassist... :)
Y
Sender rules.....ony.second to Jaco and Melvin Davis..

That bass line!
Tremendous live version. That bassline is just super funky!
Give me back the Jamiroquai like this!!!!
damn the bass line is just so funky
That bass guitarist is OFF. THE HOOK!!! 👌👌👌
One of the best live bands ever! The Funk Gods at their best!!!
Stuart Zender is a genius!
Really hope Jay Kay could make up with him and bring him back! without Stu jamiroquai is just a normal band
not really, jamiroquai is fine now with paul turner, they have their own eras, stu would be more suitable with the old funky hobo-style jamiroquai, but paul will suit better with nowadays jamiroquai

Zender ,Fyffe and Turner are all stellar players. No one better or worse than the other. All killer musicians.
Wonderful band - absolutely brilliant bass player.

Mr Zender you are just innnnncredible on this song 'live" brilliant
the 90s was awesome. Even the mainstream had quality artists.
This wasn’t even mainstream
I love this more than I can breathe, it reminds my little cat right now, I used to singing this song 😍😻💃💗🎶🙀😅😿😪
What a driving bass line! Stuart Zender 👍
Qué barbaridad, cómo toca Stuart Zender!!!
Jamiroquai without Stuart and Toby aren’t Jamiroquai...
There will never be another Jamaroquoi. I love the atmosphere his music creates and remember the day I finally owned his album.
Jay i can't live without your music 🎶 there i said it!❤️
Stuuuart Zenderr!! Geniooo!!
I miss REAL organic music so badly ..Jay Kay what a gen you are !
RIP Toby Smith... You were too young to die :(
Far too young :(
Impeccable voice!!
An epic musical performance in every aspect. Love it until I die.
I wish I appreciated this music more back then.
It's all about Stu and that bass.
Best version ever that zender groov3 is 🔥
ZENDER,IS A MONSTER,A DAMN BEAST ON BASS GUITAR!!! A LOT OF CATS,CAN PLAY BASS...BUT CAN'T GROOVE!!! ZENDER.IS A GROOVE (MASTER)!!! LISTEN,TOO THAT BASSLINE,BABY THATS GROOVEN!!! (DAMN)...JUST FUNKY!!!
Stu was just 18 or 19 years old in this gig and yet have so much feel and just too tight. That Bassline is untouchable.
That bass line is awesome! Stuart Zender💜💜💜
You guys always celebrate Stu Zender, and you're right to do so.
But you always forget the big influence Toby Smith gave to the band back then, in fact the whole band, Simon Katz, Derrick McKenzie...
ophone1977 Thank you! You are so FUCKING right, I am actually getting tired of people only praising Zender (and Jay).
I agree, I think it's just part of a trend to only praise Zender.
Don’t forget Nick Van Gelder and Glenn Nightingale, whom played on the First album.
His voice is stellar an his groove is universali.
play a bassline like that is just ORGASTIC *--*!!
Jamiroquai for the fucking win!
wow! these musicians are incredible also the bass player & drummer really lock in their stuff!
Why can't Jay Kay go back to writing jams like this. This is why I listen to Jamiroquai to this day. Music of my soul
Because the whole band line up has completely changed. Stuart Zender co-wrote many of the tracks on the first 4 albums as did Toby smith (who sadly passed away). They did away with the horn section, Sola the percussionist and Wallace the Didge player. I think Derrick is still on drums. This is when Jamiroquai were at their best imo.
@@applecharlotte1981 sola is still with Jamiroquai.
this version is waayyy better than the album version
jaykay is always better live. it's a rare thing these days
I agree. Oh man, it's really time Jamiroquai making a new album.
No fucking way, it lacks the magic of the string section.
Jamiroquai forever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This, Corner of the Earth, and Space Cowboy are flippin’ awesome man. Earth Wind and Fire would be proud.
pastorius influence
Back when the line up for this band was at its best.
100%!
Now I close my eyes and dream of Peace and Jamiroquai
Awesome voice and dancer!
Miss Jamiroquai the 90 s❤
One of best live acts that I ever saw.
This is the first Jamiroquai bass line i learnt back in 98. Thanks to a good friend of mine Dave Troke.
Ha ha, Zender changed the verse bass line, paying homage to Bernard Edwards. Like it even better than the record. What a genius.
Stuart Zender Burning 🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡
Excellent showmanship by Jay Kay, wish I could see Jamiroquai live.
Recently saw JK on his motorbike. My mrs and i were driving into brighton for the weekend and i saw him heading out.

Wow, Stu with hair!
Wooooh. What a cool intro!!!
Stuart Zender is more comment on this video than the band itself,and I couldn't agree more. Long live the groove king!
Best performance of this song!!!!
god, he sings well in Lives. His performance is just.. incredible.. i knew him but never really listend him.. only now i see he is a great singer!.. and i was searching This track from long time ago.. thx satanpolenc
Years on, this is still a hard jam
Who the fuck is the sax guy? Shit got my head spinning love that!
+VibeTriber Mike Smith, such a great and talented musician.
Se luce zender increíble lo que toca este capo
jay is just as good as his original audio
i find this one better
The bass gives so much energy❤❤❤❤😂
La mejor versión de este tema!!! Woooow
thank you zender... just this.
O baixo sempre foda!!!
Stuart Zender, mestre❣️❣️❣️
Vc sabe quem é o guitarra?
@@wellyntonbrito3942 como esse show de 1994, deve ser o guitarrista da formação original, acho que vendo os primeiros discos, deve tá a informação amigo, infelizmente de cabeça não sei o nome, desculpe não poder lhe auxiliar.
It's a good bass player Stuart Zender !! yeah !
Zender was 20 when this was recorded. Daaaang. So good.
@kcack23 I like hearing that...there is still hope for this world if someone your age is digging tis.God Bless you.
Blows me away every time.
I miss stu zender hi from Puerto rico 🇵🇷❤
this bass...great lines there Stu...
Wish I could play that Stu style!
Dude, ive been trying to learn his style for a few years now, maybe one day ill understand where he comes from musically. No one holds a candle to his style, not even fyffe or turner as badass as they are, though fyffe was kind of closeish but not really.
Oh so funky. Almost can't take it it's so good!!
Zender rules!
insane songggggg one of the grooviest bands in history and they were just under 25 years old 🤯
Que ritmo y que nivel! los inicios de un genio de la musica!
That swing and pop against the drum in that baseline is crazy.
Toby Smith r.i.p.!
Been some great musicians in this band over the years but only one legend.
Outside of Flea .... Sender is on another pedestal.... Killer Bassist ....
Zender
should of paid stuart zender more money all the funky tunes we are missing out on.
Brillantes jóvenes talentosos JAMIROQUAI por siempre ❤
Funky president.
Hey, listen to the man!!!
stu is great!
Sick grooves
