What was Vic doing? Just noodling along with the band basically.
All those chops at his disposal, but when he got the spotlight and was asked to play something he didn't come up with anything. I doubt there would be any kid out there wanting to be a bass player after seeing that.
When I was a kid I saw Paul Jackson with Herbie Hancock just as funky as you can be and that made me sell my guitar and get a bass. It just completely changed my life, it had such an impact on me.
Anyway, it's nice to know that you can have more of an impact playing just a few well placed fat bass notes than to fire off 64th note triplets with double thumbing tapping and who knows what else....
Maybe I'm just too old,but that's how the show hit me....  |

But he was pretty much there to promote HIS newest solo album. Which is sure to be chock full of huge grooves and crazy solo/virtuoso style playing.
I've seen him several times live. I'm not really a fan. But I'm seen him in several different settings. He can do the regular bass player thing or he can take the lead. He wears both hats well. In this case he was supposed to be the soloist. And that's what he did. |

I just wish he had.And as far as Vic being there just to solo, if that would have been Marcus playing that role there would have been more going on with half the chops, I think.
I was also confused about the CD Cover that was held up. Wasn't that his first CD called "Show of Hands" which has to be at least ten years old by now? |

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.
