Gotta love the Geez! And speaking of Bill Black have seen live photos of Bill with Elvis playing an upright bass with only TWO strings! Take that Presidents of the USA haha!:D

Yes I remember the 'In the Round' tour as well and it was great but the Going For The One' tour in '76 was the best Yes concert I ever saw with all the original band members an incredible show!

Or you could say as I have with a smile and no smirk 'I play a 6 string bass to over-compensate for the fact that you can't solo worth sheet' and somebody's got to do it LOL!:D

Ron Carter also did some great playing with a younger Herbie Hancock on his early sides. And I notice you have the DISRAELI GEARS iconic record cover on display. You may recognize the guy I have my arm around in my photo hint his middle name is Symon Asher:cool:

My first experience seeing Chris Squire up close was the 'Going for the One' tour in '76 and we were right in front at the Seattle Coliseum. The line-up was the original band and what a show! Chris had a wall of 2x15 SUNN cabs and his tone was huge! At the end of the night someone brought out a...

Hey there, yes the fretless 6 string is quite an instrument the one I am holding here is a CARVIN 50th Anniversary bass with the all Koa wood body and neck-thru. I bought it in '96 and its still my favorite 6 string bass.

Had the good fortune to see JEFF BERLIN only once but it was pretty memorable! He was supporting ALAN HOLDSWORTH on the 'Road Games' tour in a fairly small club in Seattle and yes his playing was tremendous along with the great Chad Wackerman on the drums!

Had the good fortune to experience Les Claypool and PRIMUS from the front row at the ENDFEST music festival outside of Seattle in the early 2000's. The band was touring with BUCKETHEAD on the guitar and oh man what a show! Such twisted music but we all moshed anyway LOL!:cool:

Had the good fortune to see Will Lee and Anton Fig backing up the great rockabilly singer Robert Gordon at The Lone Star Cafe' in New York back in the 90's. With Chris Spedding on guitar what a sound what a band!

The reference to Nazareth brings back how awful they were in Seattle playing with the great Humble Pie. The Nazz singer sounded like Robert Plant on steroids. The bass player had the worst live sound of any name band I can think of. The guys "tone" consisted of a metal pick scratching on round...

Yes Mike Anthony is a helluva rock bassist who was sooooo important to the sound of Van Halen and he gets dumped like some rank amateur! To his credit he has never slagged the band for how he was treated Mike is a class act all the way! And yes Chickenfoot is truly awesome I turn folks onto them...

Yes saw that tour as well and VAN HALEN just crushed it! The Sab's didn't seem to know what hit them LOL!

Saw artists 2) and 3) on your list at about that time and yes Berlin was trying to steal the show or steal something!? Later Alan came to Seattle with Jimmy Johnson and they were tight as hell played almost all of Tokyo Dreams and then some stuff that sounded like the French and Brit band GONG...
