CHUCK RAINEY SLAYING WITH THE CRUSADERS!

Search through and find the Crusaders tunes for some PRIME 1973 Chuck Rainey. Arthur Adams is on guitar here.

I always liked Midnight Special and Later with Jools Holland.
I like seeing different artist and musical styles at the same time.

The best part for me was the Steve Martin segment.

Did you note what looks like two toaster pickups on Rainey's bass?

What I'd really like to see on these kinds of shows is all the artists playing together all at the same time...

Yep, Jools at the beginning and end.

I watched the entire show, brings back memories.
Thanks for posting.

There a lot of killer unknown bassists on those Midnight Specials backing other artists, The.bassist with the Mark-Almond band is tearing it up on that show.

And Wilton Felder, great bassist in his own right, is playing the tenor saxophone

ooh, now I have to check out that whole video. Pretty sure this was right about the time Roberto Petaccia was playing drums with Mark-Almond (and Roberto was an absolute badass, a peer of Steve Smith, Tommy Campbell, and a few other totally badass drummers that passed through Berklee in the mid-1970s), and if Roberto's in the band then there's a (very) slim chance I might recognize the bass player too!


EDIT: Nevermind, I just watched the Mark-Almond segment, that's definitely not Roberto, and I have no idea who the bass player is!

Mark-Almond always seemed to have a good band. Back in the day their song The City was called at a lot of jams, along with Donny Hathaway's The Ghetto, killer two chord grooves.
