Used to have a recording of an outstanding solo from a Hot Tuna performance. Now, I can't find it. Hoping someone has an idea. BTW it wasn't the full band, just Jack and Jorma.
Thanks

Best Ever Jack Cassidy Solo . . .

This?
From the first album, just the two of them with an occasional harmonica player, the track was their first “greatest hit”, got a lot of airplay on FM radio back when it was truly adventurous.
There's a really excellent version of the fast break in Hesitation Blues that I haven't heard in years.
Was this from an old bootleg, or something relatively legit, like Relix or Wolfgang’s Vault? If you look on Youtube, there are multiple HT renditions.
There’s the solo on Mann’s Fate from the first album. I can’t think of any bass solos on any versions of Lamps, but the version on the closing of the Fillmore show is just killer.
Could you be thinking Candyman?

Yep! Candyman is definitely it! Thanks I found the one I was thinking of. Never gets old listening to it!
become a supporting member and i will direct you to a free, deadly accurate, transcription of the entire solo. no bull.
I just signed up for the one year term at $30. I'll take you up on this offer! Thanks!
Alright! I, too, was obsessed with this solo. Here's the link:

Take a look at the format, then navigate your way to Candyman. It's actually the entire track, which is an added bonus. The solo is clearly delineated. It's free to download, but you will no doubt use the site in the future so maybe shoot the guy a donation.
Thank you Slagheap! I could listen to that solo over and over on a loop. Some of it sounds pretty do-able, but clearly he is the total bass master and does some amazing stuff in this solo!
Oh, it's 100% do-able, and I am no shredder. You've already got it memorized. Once you get it all under your hands it's big fun!
Hi. Can you maybe be more specific about the Fillmore closing show, like which one, where, etc? I'm always up for hearing more Casady from that era.
Sure, be happy to.
I'm referring to this :
Hot Tuna Releases “Live at the Fillmore West, June 3, 1971”
July 3, 1971, Fillmore West. Part of their set made it to the film Fillmore: The Last Days. Unfortunately Jack's solo on Candyman did not.
Thank-you, Hangman.Sure, be happy to.
