Bass player dance moves...

[noeinstein]

I had a nightmare about this one.

 

[Ant Illington]

Hi,



That was one groovingly cool performance.

Just for grins and giggles, why don't we share some of our moves on stage? I'll start.

(Video should start at the "good" part.)







And some band choreography.




Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Dude, nice voice in the first video. Very smooth. You have a little Jackson Browne thing going there, but different enough to be unique.

 

[Ant Illington]

Oh, hell yeah! Forget the Creedence cover band dude, this guy is much slicker(and much more subtle)...

But wait...we may have a contender...it must be the boots...

I love the inexplicable proto-metal bass drum kicks at about 1:16 and 1:30!!!! I love this song but had never noticed those before.

 

[Ant Illington]

Best dance clip ever of a band!

That appears to be a nod to Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love video.

I always thought this guy was pretty entertaining to watch:

@BassCliff ... That second video, 1.40.
My respect for you just went up about 1000 levels!

@BassCliff Wow, that is one slick dance move. And then Love Train in the next video?...beautiful.

 

[OCDave]

I win.

Looks like someone is going to get smacked with a bass headstock in 3, 2, 1...

Eh, you can't blame Flea for smashing it. It was out of tune.

Out of tune? Well just get a new one. Or if it's in warranty take it back.

I can't believe no one has posted this one yet - this looks like pure joy:

Haha the bassist with Spiral Staircase is a guy named Bobby Raymond and we found his steps pretty funny even back in that day! I think he died.

Nathan East gets my vote:

Starts at about 5:25 and some more at 5:40

I win.

*** was that?

I always thought this guy was pretty entertaining to watch:

Who is that?

 

[Oggy99]

How about Mick Karn's subtle moves ... not to mention the cool bass lines.

 

[KickingBass]

*** was that?

Unbridled enthusiasm. I saw them live in Austin and it was amazing. The singer flipped into the crowd, kicked off his shoes, pulled the bass drum out from the kit and put it in the crowd to play it. The bassist handed his bass to the guy next to me, shimmied up a pole I was standing by and then using his fingertips, moved across a ceiling beam. I came out for a split second in the music video as an audience member haha. Took a pic with the bassist later ha

Lest we forget, the greatest dancing bassist in history: GIVE A HAND TO TOM SULLIVAN!

Rickenbacker's make you dance! That's a fact!

 

[Old Blastard]

Clearly I need to work out and sign up at the dance studio for lessons. Is Fred Astaire still open?
