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....- Hide quoted text -

Glen Buxton lead guitar in School's Out..........
That and Mississippi Queen by Mountain! I was quite young, my older

bad.....- Hide quoted text -

Speaking of Ms. Queen, theres a couple live versions on Youtube.
comLeslie West, was very simple in playing but was "Factual, and to
the point!"
I love it.

It's a shame that Felix *died because hegot knifed by his
girlfriend.. ?:^ 0

IVe had a couple old Gibson EB series bass's and I never could figure
out how Felix got any sound at all out of the E string. Those
"mudbucker" pickups were dead as all get out.- Hide quoted text -

It may well have had different pickups.- Hide quoted text -

No, they were stock, but the difference I suppose was having mega-watt
stage rigs with a good sound engineer, instead of a "Checkmate" 40w
combo sold though Sears......
