My only problem was that Jeff Berlin's solos sound inappropriate. The man knew how to rock back in the day, but on that clip, he sounds like he is trying to play bebop over three chord rock, and it just didn't fit.

| | | | 3 secs and poo
Part of the problem was the audio quality but I could only listen to 3 secs. I may go to see 3 bass players touring together like wooten clarke and miller, and I might be blown away, but I think I prefer hearing a mix of complementary instrumentalists. Correct me if I'm wrong but did miles ever tour with 3 trumpet players or Coltrane do the saxtet tour?
I bought the "legends" dvd off amazon having never heard it, thinking I could not go wrong! Miller Clapton and Sanborn should be great together. I ended up remembering why my brother and I were so drawn to the Crusaders in high school. Joe Sample was the highlight of the dvd for me, followed by Marcus interaction with drummer Steve Gad. Clapton hohum yawn, and well hope you get my rant! I don't want to see a 3 bass player jack off to prove who's more adept. I want a magic synergy of bass keys guitar drums sax or whatever when they get it right together. It's about the music  |

it's a joke.
once again, it's a joke.
OBVIOUSLY, it's a joke.
Even if you've never seen the movie, listen to the lyrics: it's a joke.
Disregard their tone, the quality of the musicianship, and the silliness of the tune, because, you know, it's a joke. |
