[BassyBill]

Now THIS is funny. Wait for the bass player's superb demonstration of showmanship at about 1:20 into the clip. If only he knew what he was starting...

What the bass player was doing was almost as hilarious as the dancer's pants.

It'll never catch on...

You think Wooten could swing that thing around his neck?

 

[peaveyuser]

hahaha awesome

My favorite part is at 1:48, while he's running back with the bass above his head, yet he's already in place behind the drums. It's like Quantum Leap or something!

Cool Video. Thanks for posting

At about 1:38 I was SURE the Marx Brothers were going to run across the screen!

And I believe the style in which that young lady was dancing is called the "buck and wing".

Nifty...

There is something hilarious to me about the whole deal. I wonder if playing in a band like that was attractive to females.

 

[blikeng]

Ahahaha, great, though as already mentioned he didn't know what he started.

 

[T-Bird]

Thanks, awesome.

It's like walking by a window in you home and looking out to see your neighbour (78 year old) humping a bingo buddy. It's halarious, disgusting, but you just cant turn your head.

Early use of LSD?

I'm sure in the 30's it was.
