Saw Marcus Miller on Saturday

[Daveman2]

Yeah I saw Marcus Miller and his band perform Saturday at the San Jose Jazz festival, best $5 I ever spent.
THe best part was is I had no idea he was performing, but as soon as I heard the playing and saw the bass I knew who it was!

He did crazy double-thumping and a few times some weird crazy techniques that I could not recognize.

Just had to share.

Actually, it's an annual event in San Jose; this was the first year that they charged admission. Previous years have been FREE! Yesterday, the Neville brothers were on stage. I also saw Chris Cain, who's a well known blues guitar player/singer.
