Hardest-working bassists on stage (share the videos!)

[OldDog52]

This video is a 1985 performance of "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" by Ian Dury & The Blockheads. I'm pretty sure the bassist is Norman Watt-Roy. The video mostly shows him during the first minute or so. He be working real hard, like risk-of-an-aneurysm hard.

(I mentioned this video a while back in another thread but it got buried in the mix, so hope nobody minds me posting it here)

this is the kind of song hwere you need a lot of stamina just because it is in 16th all the way but he doesn't do some accrobatic on the fretboard, that save him.

Oh the 80's fashions! Definately a showman!

Thanks Old Dog, I forgot how funny looking Ian Dury is with that giant head and tiny body But, damn that was a hard working band, from sax to bass. Sweet.
