Well, Here's a cut of Joni Mitchell live from almost 30 yrs ago.

She has an all-star band. BTW, thats a young Pat Matheny behind her.
But what gets me is Jaco Pastorius on fretless, and the Late Don Alias
on drums. This is a prime example of the drum and bass locking
together, and I do mean tight! The timing couldn't be better, and jaco
provides a great metranome effect with the fretless working with jsut
about anything that Don decides to do.

Being musicians you'll know what I'm talking about.

I'll tell you someone who most people don't think about when they
think about tight musicians.......Alice Cooper. He ran a tight ship
and his musicians were top notch.

Watching Dennis Dunaway was one of the reasons I picked up bass guitar
anyhow. Well, he and Mel Schacher of GFR....
