I used to have that video many years ago and then lost it (stupid teenager). For many years I've missed it! I enjoyed watching it more than playing to it. Louis jams.

How awesome is that! I haven't seen that in years. Louis Johnson is just ridiculous. Thanks for sharing the vid. Required viewing for every bass player who wants to slap.

Ive still got that video and play it from time to time just to go over some good old slap technique or show some friends after a night of drinking, although I never did get much into the thumb over the top thing...
