looking for a Jaco video

About a year ago, I saw a youtube vid of one of his solos. It was an outdoor show, and he did a lot of his trademark sampling and overdubs in that solo, and at the end he dropped the bass and did somekind of robot/moonwalk off the stage.. I think this pic is from that show:

anyone have a link to it?

It may be Joni Mitchell's "Shadows & Light" DVD.

BTW, the video just posted is from Shadows & Light...

Its one of my favorite Jaco videos.

In a only slightly related note, here's a video of Maynard Ferguson's band playing Birdland. I can't say that I'm familiar with him, but check out what the mallet player is playing thirty seconds in. Pretty sweet.

Check out videos of Weather Report from 1978 in Germany. A killer version of Black Marketweather report : black market :1978: - YouTube and a good BirdlandWeather Report - Birdland - YouTube as well.

There's always the argument of someone's art becoming more desirable after they have passed but regardless of that, can you just imagine what he could do if he could still be doing this today? I mean as many different things as he had to tweak and modify throughout that solo, I have no doubt that he could play with a loaded pedalboard and excite nearly every bassist who hears a small part of it. Excellent find. Soul, proper execution and effects. This guy was awesome.
