This was perfection. |

I used to think this was a Claypool-ish thing.
Personally, I love this neat little trick, it's great for fills in songs with harmonies that limit your note choice (rock songs with power chords, for example). |

But Youngspanion was right, all that practice was well traded off. Awsome bass player, awsome bass tone. Sweet vid too.

Oh yeah, I don't gain much musical satisfaction from this vid, it's just interesting to hear his playing in the forefront, though it is better in context of a song.

Either he really wanted to be somewhere else or it was his trademark coolness showing. 
I don't think I've ever seen him move around onstage! |

Try this one. "5:15" live. Go to about 4min, 30 seconds into it and he's got a great solo here, too! Quality's crappy, but the solo kicks! He's got his Warwick for this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAMONGMygeQ

No question, one of the greats from the past. Nice stack of Sunn amps in the back too.  |
