Well, I've always enjoyed watching this guy's vids as he is a fantastic player. However, I caught this one today, having seen it before but paid it little attention, and I was floored when I really listened to it. The tone, melody, the upbeat-ness of the whole thing, just WOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFRsYLEzoWc |

Does anyone know where I can hear a proper recording of jeff's version? |

The guy in this video is OK but aside from his over-developed Mark King chops - he's not great at other styles - his fretless playing sucks!
Find Jeff Berlin's version of this tune - it'll blow you away.

I mean, he quite clearly the man as we can tell from watching this video, but his version just doesn't seem to have the same "boom" factor as the other one.
Gotta mention though, Jeff's tone in that clip there is just "oh my word" gorgeous. |

Poor imitation of the Berlin take on a beautiful ballad. Very noisy too not well executed IMO. Really not nice  |

He's got a ton of vids up on youtube but I've never seen anything of him in a band context! Is he just a bedroom bassist? |

+1 to whoever thought Tears in Heaven sounds weird at that tempo too. |

I forgot to mention the first guy's tone as well wasn't happening either, vey 'clanky' - and I think he is very much a bedroom slapper - no idea who he is outside of all his MK 'tribute' stuff.

| | | | Why I won't write song with lyrics is so clearly exemplified here.
Imagine if you wrote a song, about the loss of a love, or worse, as it is here; the loss of a child. It may seem cathartic at the time.
Now imagine that it suddenly becomes a hit. Then imagine having to feel the pain, and perform it over and over again every night on tour.
Lastly, imagine slap wankers playing it uptempo, like it's a f@#%ing happy song.
Sickening, sorry. I even find Jeff's version offensive. |

I think it was just wrong to do that to that song, but not because of lack of respect for the original or anything like that. More like "dude, you just don't get it do you?"
You have to figure though that no matter what you do, it will give other people ideas that will not mesh with your original intent. You shouldn't let that stop you from sharing your thoughts though! |

Berlin's playing is impressive, but that song played like that does not sound good.
faster with more notes != better.
