Check this out. I know you dudes dig guitars, but I'ma bass player.

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.

Joni rules, period. "One of the last great smokers" --her words.

What a shame about Jaco. Most genius' suffer from highly addictive
personalities though. Too bad someone couldn't have helped him
when he really needed it.
