Pino Palladino Appreciation Thread
- Thread starter Matthew_84

Come back and stay by Paul Young comes to mind. Also, try to find a live version of Lady by D'Angelo with Pino on bass.
Oh well, here they are.

I've probably listened to a'Black Messiah' 50 times already. Such an incredible album! Pino is all over it, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for those writing sessions.
I've played with plenty of younger guys. Most of the guys I have played with on a regular basis in the past are about 10-12 years younger than me. There are opportunities, but they aren't for the kind of gigs I'd want to take up my free time.
Thanks for this thread. So many people talk about Pino, but I've been struggling to find the music that allows me to "get" what he's all about... maybe because he's recorded such a variety of genres. I'm a big Jamerson fan and its taken me way too long to begin studying Pino's work. What are some of his more famous lines or tracks that he's been recorded on? Any video clips in particular that epitomize him to some extent?
There's a Paul Young album from 1985 (!) named "The Secret of Association" that was the big announce of Pino's abilities on the world stage, although he had already done a lot of great stuff with Gary Numan and other artists. If you're looking for the document of incredible time, ideas, and melodic approach that he has, this album is a good start.
For us older guys, this Paul Young hit track from the 80's grabbed our attention big time:
Months later, this came out and proved Pino was actually that good of a player and it wasn't recording studio trickery:
Before Pino caught everybody's ear, nobody wanted or cared about octave pedals. Then this song came out and stuff changed.
Decades later, Pino still has it:

D'Angelo & The Vanguard @ Bonnaroo 2015 (Full Set w/ DL Link)
Only made it through three songs, couldn't take the lack of bass anymore. Whoever mixed that needs a new set of ears. Although it's interesting to see he added a mudbucker to his Custom Shop Tbird-pickup Precision.
easily my favorite bassist. super talented and excellent ear, love that he has no classical training and doesn't know more than a pentatonic scale. all soul baby!
