cool!!

Young Mike Stern (g) was also wonderful!!!

I love Jaco- I have a story many won't like, but too bad, it's MY story of Jaco.. My GF had a friend in San Francisco (her name slips me) Who lived up the road from us. I forget the exact neighborhood (may have been North Beach) Jaco was playing with Brian Melvin I believe /which was strange to me.after being with al these greats. .. They said "Michael, theres a crazy guy staying with us (they took him in) and he says HES THE GREATEST BASS PLAYER in the world!! annoyed, she said, But he's all effed up. I said "NO WAY!" is it😔 Jaco Pastorious????And she said yes!! that's the name !!!. is he really good?? yes!! I said.. anyways, long story short, I met him after a gig in S.F. we one to. and he left with me (and her) cause I had some (stuff) that he liked. we partied all night and he stayed around for about three days and we (used) he drank also, I didnt like to drink, anyways, he showed me all kinds of cool musical things on the bass. There was a heaviness about him. between all the bluster I could see he was sad. I think he missed his family(kids) in hindsight, he was odd, it seems like he would alternate between being manic and then kind of in despair. He took off and it wasn't much later that I read that he died. back in Florida. Didnt surprise me

Wayne Shorter and the whole Weather Report. Were young back then in Finland. Was that in the 1960,s. Wonder if my school friend Solvie was there her father held a position at the Norwegian Embassy. During that time. Miss you friend

1:17 wait, what? An entire country with not one African in it? And they are all sitting there calm and civilized, listening to the music. wow. I wish I could go back in time about 50 years and move to Finland.

If he was a lot more muscular, he could pass for Arnold Schwarzenegger playing bass! hehe

Bitter sweet to watch, saw these guys at 38th Cabaret in Phila around the same year( all coked up😐). Hiram Bullock played guitar. Unfortunately, this was the beginning of the tail spinning end for Jaco. He would recover and relapse. GODspeed.

Jaco with frets..👌

I love playing festivals. More over I love playing.

Bad percussion. Nice guitarsounds by Mike Stern.😎

Have a Coke and a smile.

well..i am a bass player and a bass luthier..you know..i make and restore mostly basses..and love that jaco's style..you know..he was not interested in that bass drumming..you know..slap and thumb and other so called techniques..i do not mean it is not ok..and i understand there are a few stylists who really do something to that..as marcus miller and victor woten..but sincerely..the bass was created as a bowing instrument..as cello and violin..then leo fender and rickenbacker invented the bass guitar..but in the very beginning, at its bottom..it is a bass..even if used a bit different..you know..as a guitar is a guitar..people invented an electronic device which makes the guitar imitate a flute, a keyboard, anything else...but guitarrists forgot that device..even robert fripp..and others..i also understand those guys moved by racial status became a F1 racer on bass..slapping and popping like crazy..but there is jaco..and darryl jones..sad jaco could not play with miles davis..sad..a pity..

The most white audience on the planet.

Don Alias ALWAYS blows my mind! Great band and very important video here. Thank you for posting it!

11:15 RIP bass 😂

Jaco's technique, feeling and style I consider one of the greatest of all time. His playing always beautiful. His band was brilliant as well.

So sweet! 🤯😎

Some of the BEST music from the 80's....and wasn't on the radio 😎👍

I was there...

What a gift that he was able to play a KILLER PERFORMANCE in our ancenstral homeland 🇫🇮

Wow Jaco at 1983... Pretty much his last performance before things started going downhill... Thank you for this rare footage.

Is that MIke Stern?

@9:32 TEEN TOWN

Mike is killing it too!!!!

"Women and Rythym Section first!" Jaco WAS the groove!

Jaco with the distortion becomes like a wounded animal. how much emotion in his music

I love that he always includes "Amerika."

shites they cut off the best part at the end

Last solo blew up my mind

Got that right man, Jaco is the Hendrix of the bass players.

Wow. 4:44 Fucking leave it to Jaco to do something sick like that. The intonation was a little off but he nailed the last note.

Jaco is so together on this. Seems medicated. Playing well. He turned his rig up. I met him. And his dad. He was "Mr Gone". Saw him later in NYC living at the park. Would stories of Jaco crashing shows and recording sessions just like the nite he was killed.Rest in peace.

Somewhere there probably exists a really good quality copy of this, it was obviously pro shot. This is amazing regardless.

Jaco was the guv'nor. No one else played so naturally and intuitively. The music just flowed from him.

Jaco’s groove and time is absolutely ridiculous.

Jaco was part of the Finnish anti Soviet invasion defense. “Russians are eyeballing our border again, call Jaco”.

I am a huge Jaco fan but to me he seems like he is on auto pilot here, of course he is 100x better than I ever will be in this but you can really tell he wasn't exactly present in this. I'm just analyzing him, no hate. He was just a very interesting man to me and I find it interesting to analyze his performances. Just me, anyone else see what I see?

Mike Stern!

Jaco was actually part-Finnish on his mother's side.

awesome!!

They made people happy, that's the purpose.

Who’s on alto?

in so happy you have this thank you

Jaco the good bad and ugly..he let it out ...rip jaco. Delmar ..

Indeed the best bass player of the world and much more then that ❣️ missing you so much Jaco, you really didn't deserve to leave the way it happend 😞

He had a limited repertoire for his big band.

Nothin' like Jaco😖

oh my god mike stern haha

Anyone know with any degree of certainty who that drummer is?
