If you don't have it already, you need a copy of the Elton John album 11-17-70, recorded live, 40 years ago today. If you already have it, crank it today! Hear the late Dee Murray tearin' it up!

About your sig: How'd you come to own Dee's Steinberger? |

I was fortunate to see Dee live on the Yellow Brick Road tour. Awesome player for sure! (Hard to believe it's been 40 years since this was recorded)

As for his note choice... yes, GREAT, but keep in mind that he was following Reggie's left hand on those fantastic inversions. |

I practically wore that album out I played it so much. Dee Murray was one of the all time greats! He is all over the neck on that particular album. Holy smokes! What a great bassist he was. He provided me with alot of influence back then.
