Killer Jam session

[truckin88]

not really conventional or the norm around here, but you can't say you wouldn't love to witness it and be a part of it live.

***??? Was that Steve Martin playing banjo? I had no idea!

 

[themajorrager]

yeah that was cool but typical music video in that you barely got to see the bass player - and where was his solo?

 

[darthplagis]

yeah i prefer the stu hamm version he does it all himself hehe now thats bass hogging

 

[phxlbrmpf]

Who's the bearded keyboard player who seemed to be blind?

 

[balzac]

I'm pretty sure it ain't Ray Charles ...

Yeah Steve Martin is an awesome banjo player. He used to play banjo in his stand-up routines all the time.

Cousin It. I think that's Leon Russell.

 

[puff father]

Jerry "Flux" Douglas on dobro... He is "Da Man".

Nice video!

What...nobody wants to know who the bass player is? I do!

It's actually pretty cool, Steve Martin has won many more awards for his banjo playing than his acting.

 

[D.A.R.K.]

that was awesome!

is it normal for one to hate country music, but love Tele tone? love that sound! good find! i get can into a little Bluegrass, but that's as far as i go.

 

[MicB]

Awesome!

And the bass player got a good 4 seconds of face time too!

It's good to Steve Martin still keeps up with it.... I saw him back in 80, and did this awsome Banjo solo during his routine..simply blew me away. Bela Fleck doesn't have anything on ole Steve.

Does figure though, the only stringed instrument to not get solo time was Commander Worf.....LOl

 

[Spencer!]

A classic...

Paul Shaffer on keys, that's great!

IIRC Steve, Paul Shaffer, and Chevy Chase were in a band together in college.
