Stage presence: finally someone gets it

[EastCoastThump]

I usually figure I'm rocking the stage presence as long as the audience can see a bit of my fully buttoned short-sleeve shirt, sandals-n-socks, and my cargo shorts behind the giant on-stage music stand. But this guy's got game on a whole 'nother level:



Gotta go woodshed my moves!

 

[SV777]

I gotta go lose my dinner

 

[EastCoastThump]

I hear ya. It's hard to dance like that on a full stomach.

 

[Space Pickle]

surprisingly nimble for a portly fellow

Whole lotta "visual insubordination" goin' down there, to borrow a phrase from Tom Waite.

Now Tab Benoit's bassist Corey Duplechin is one big guy that's got the "big guy" stage thing down cold IMO.

He should join these guys:

 

[BrewsterRooster]

As much as I'd love to say A+ for effort, he busted the wrong move when he started twerking.

Fail.

 

[AaronVonRock]

Make fun if you must, but the guy can move. It would be better if he were shirtless and in his briefs, though.

He's Brazilian (at least it certainly looks like Portuguese in his Youtube blurb). From what I can tell, things are different rhythmically in Brazil. Seems like every Brazilian I've met has moves, no matter their age, sex, physical configuration, or state of health.

Damn! I know a guy who does the exact same moves, I swear! He's a funny guy and does it mainly in low profile bar gigs, if I remember correctly he's more "normal" on a bigger stage.

You have to add this guy to the mix....

 

[Atshen]

^^ Meth is good around these parts.

Fair enough, Pacman. Okay if I have his fader down really low, though?

Makes you appreciate how much those CCR songs need the bass to tug on the pocket just-so. (And that video is a pretty good illustration of what just-so doesn't sound like.)

Nice. I'd forgotten that TW gem.

Yes. Corey's got it going. His drum & bass stuff—w/ Tab on drums and Corey with more musical room to move—is pretty fun too. Mostly hitting the ball all funkily down the fairway, w/ some little passages of ripping it up and stretches of barroom showmanship.

Hmmmm...............That's not my cup of tea.

Sometimes Wyman got a little too active for my tastes.

Yeah. I like Corey. He's like Tinsley Ellis's bass player (another big guy) who goes by the name "The Evil One." Both are good solid blues-rockers who get the job done with no fuss but still mange to toss in a little panache. And best of all, they still sound like bass players while they're doing it.

Right! Winny Puhh's a band that really understands less-is-more

Wow! There's something I'll never be able to unsee even after washing my eyes out with rubbing alcohol. Didn't realize that CCR tune was that busy? I must have the cheap recording.

JimmM's favorite band!
