| | | | Cool! Is it me, or does anyone else notice that James' fingers (finger!) are not matching what is being played on the track. I read that he was in pretty tough shape by that time. I wonder if someone cleaned up the performance. |

It aint you... It is what you have to do (compression wise) in order to get a video to stream over the web. Video lags behind sound and vise versa....

BL | Makes sense. He sounds wonderful, and it's a treat to actually see him play... first time for me, after seeing all the pictures and hearing all the recordings.
Thanks,

Really great to see footage of Jamerson, but also great to hear Marvin Gaye... f**k, what a singer! |

| | | | And one thing that always strikes me about Jamerson, and you can really hear it in this version of "What's Going On", is how he would play short notes even on flowing songs like this, where most bassists would likely think "legato." What I mean is, he ends phrases with a short note, and just lets the rest (as in "half note rest") happen. It shows you what confidence and relaxation he had. |

|  | No Longer Works a Day Job | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: USA | | | I don't know if this is the same thread that i originally clicked the link from-but whenever i watch this video, it feels surreal actually seeing video of him play. I've been working out of the book, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" and listening to the recordings of him playing but seeing him play just doesn't seem quite real.

i figured out i played this song for my admission for the "cegep" (between high-school and university here in québec)
pretty hard rythmic, but on that video it's played slower than the music-sheet said (102) and jamerson is playing different great fills...
but well... interesting to hear more than the bass and metronome
