Live WIlson Pickett: Funky Broadway

[Dr. Cheese]

I don't know who is on bass here. I know the original was Tommy Cogbill. This performance was slammin'!

[Lazylion]

Excellent clip! Looks like it was fun to be Wilson that night! Thanks for posting this.

Couldn't get much of a look at the bass player. Duck Dunn sprang to mind, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

I cringe every time we play Mustang Sally, I know we are NOT WORTHY!

PS I think that one girl was doin' the Shing-a-Ling...

One of my favorite Cogbill basslines with one of the best R&B singers ever. People make fun of Mustang Sally, but that song grooves!!!!

If you do it RIGHT, it kills. If you don't ...

Probably the most slaughtered song ever.

+1, on a lot of gigs people call the Rascals turnaround on it, I love the Rascals, but after Wilson Pickett....please!

I found this thread looking for THIS bass player!

Anyone know who she is? She's FANTASTIC! Some beautiful soul playing here and on the other clips from the same show. So far I can't find anything!

Thanks!

Wow! She is good. Saw her pull off a couple of 'pops'! Maybe Jauqo knows. I see some info on the interwebs but most pics don't show a female bassist. The band is still around and are still known as the Midnight Movers.

Looks like a young Duck.

Mustang Sally should never be covered. Wilson and the boys took a cheesy song and made it art. Without them, it's just a cheesy song -- made even more embarrassing by attempting to copy what they did.

Could be Bugsy Maugh, I think he toured with Pickett before hooking up with Paul Butterfield somewhere around '66-'67

I'd don't think it's either Bugsy or Duck, as you can see from about 0:50 in the video.

Yeah, I think you are right. Still hard to tell but looks more like a young black guy. What ever, he was rockin' that bass.

Thanks!

Gail Parrish. Plays mostly blues with Charles “Big Daddy” Stallings.

[Stingus]

Thanks for this!

So glad to hear wilson's name mentioned here!! one of the baddest of all time. And to hear paul butterfield's in the same thread, an underated innovator in the 60's. and bugsy for that matter

[BassIsBoss]

Best scream in the business. Saw him on a show with B.B. King and James Brown, and guess who was the baddest, most 'Wicked' that night. Help me...my memory's startin' to sweat!
