Jamiroquai Live from Abbey Road Vids

Bernie Connors · #1 04-15-2007, 07:02 PM

Here are three amazing videos with Jamiroquai performing at Abbey Road.

Paul uses his P Bass and '66 Jazz with Aguilar Amplification and his Gas Cooker DI. His tone and groove is just undeniable.

The whole band is so tight it's insane...

Enjoy!

i just can't get enough of Paul Turner's tone!!!

great clips! thanks!

That "Traveling Without Moving" track makes me think that Paul Turner and I are kindred spirits (except he is way, way better than me.) I suspect that like myself, he is the kind of guy that might really slap alot when he is by himself, but in a performance situation, is a finger man at heart. I know he sound great either way.

Hey Cheese,

Yeah, I see what you're saying. As a guy that just isn't into slap at all, I always cringe a little when I hear it being used. But Paul does it tastefully and it fits the music. He is a true groover and always serves the music first. His fingerstyle is top notch.

And what about that tone, huh?!

Nice clips!

I totally dig Paul's playing. My main gig is with a disco band, and I go for a very similar tone/style. I wouldn't say that what he (or Jamiroquai for that matter) is doing is unique though. He's emulating a lot of the same players I do.

Bernard edwards anyone?

Paul does it very well.

Andy V. · #8 04-16-2007, 09:32 AM

Yeah!
Paul is my favorite bass player to hear nowadays.
His tone is amazing!

Mike Flynn · #9 04-16-2007, 09:36 AM

The tightest band in funk today, fact!

Wicked sound

I know I'll get slapped for this, but I do like Paul Turner's tone because he sounds like me.

Seriously, he sounds like me on every bass I have ever heard him play. I suspect it is a case of the two of us having many of the same influences and playing similar sounding gear.

Let me make it perfectly clear that I am not saying I am as good as Mr. Turner, we just get the same sort of tone

Plus a big 1. My favourite band. I want to be in a cover band or badn that plays like this. What I really like is how the band reinvents the tunes. I will Freecorder this so I can capture the audio and add to my Jamiroquai collection.

**Vorago** · #13 04-16-2007, 09:43 AM

Tight, as always, I've never really seen a sloppy Jamiroquai performance.

Dang, they are crazy tight! I guess that is one advantage of not being a trailblazer, you can really work on mastering the formula. They do disco/smooth funk as well as anyone I have ever heard.

simon · #16 04-16-2007, 03:01 PM

Nice.... I like this version of 'Travelling without moving' way better than the album version

Bernie Connors · #17 04-16-2007, 03:19 PM

Sweet! Glad you guys are digging the vids...

Here's a couple more live tracks.

Canned Heat
Cosmic Girl

Enjoy!

Twistad · #18 04-16-2007, 07:03 PM

Other reasons why Jamiroquai is one of my favorite band.

Whenever i think of the perfect gig, i can't help but think of Jamiroquai.

SuperDuck · #19 04-16-2007, 07:06 PM

Further examination of these clips shows that not only is the bass tone _perfect_, but there is also a really cute violin player, too.

HA!!
I can totally relate!!!
I love his playing and his tone.

Paul is taking a lot more liberties on these tracks than he does in this:
