Jaco Pastorius "Walking through the crowd" wireless rig Berlin Germany 1979 Don't know why the powers that be from the Berliner Jazzstage Vault won't remaster this along with the rest of the solo show digitally.
Thank you for the comment. I used to have another channel with hundreds of videos. But for some strange reason, they took it down. The videos come from collecting all these alien videos from the 90s before there was a Ytube. God bless
I was there. He played twice that evening. The first was phenomenal the second not so much. He was the third act. Chick Corea and Gary Burton were first, followed by Charlie Mariano, Philippe Catherine and Jasper van’t Hof.
The more and more of video's of Jaco surface, the more I'm completely blown away buy what he did and could do. This is like seeing Coltrane barwalk, or Frank Sinatra crooning the audience. Jaco will live forever!!
Incredible footage. I had no idea. Vocals too. It feels like Jaco is an advanced Alien Species teaching us a Universal Language. I mean, send this clip on the next Voyager type Probe! This is a must see/hear for any Jacophile, or for anyone that has an interest in music. THANK YOU!
Yea, I know. I actually attained this footage when I was a teenager way before youtube. I paid money for all my jazz heroes. The internet just came out and started contacting people all over the world. Now this stuff is easily available.
That’s true, I am a musician myself and have struggled with the environment too...thank God never been to drugs, but I’ve seen kids who hanged around with me loose their lives because of drugs, 15 year old kids...I really wish people just play and don’ t get involved into that crap...
Joco did not die because of drugs, like my older brother he was schizophrenic and was having an episode at a club and the dumb bouncer beat him to death. Drugs had nothing to do with it, Mental illness awareness ignorance is what killed him….RIP…Joco
He suffered from biploar disorder, and like many people with it, refused medical treatment, and it evolved into a psychotic break. Drugs didn't help, but he was beaten to death by a bouncer in a club
where is the footage from cuba with John and Tony I'm been dying to see that like Lifetime footage from 69-70 or 75-76 IS THERE JUST NONE ,..... Not enough Jaco footage from the 70;s also ... Not enough footage from the 70;s period ...
his intonation was from another planet . I have yet to hear a single fretless note by him being out of tune , even in his later days , when he was declining
I used to think that way back when I was a teenager seeing this in the 90's before youtube. I actually had a dream about a concert that was an extension of this show. I woke up in tears.
No, this was a solo effort. 79 year was a year that WR didn’t have a full tour, they had a partial tour. Jaco also played with Joni Mitchell that year. This would have been a good year for him to join Columbia and produce a solo album, but not enough time. They would have given him more freedom, since he was already with WR.
@@JonHop1 Do you play Jon? I move my mouth when I play. I hum the melodies I'm playing. Again if you listen while his mouth is moving, up and down and sideways you can hear him singing. But if the drug thing is important to ya, so be it 🙂 More teeth grinding is my memory of things.
@@philreid984 I have played for 38 years now... But I was also a crack, coke, and speed addict for 15 years... Jaco, has admitted to having problems with speed(coke). When people do uppers, especially coke, crack and Ecstasy, it causes your jaw to move side to side a lot and you also grind your teeth. I know what it looks like bud. I am a drug and alcohol therapist now, so on top of my own experience on the street homeless, I also see my clients on these drugs every single day. I think you may be a little bit ignorant as to what hard drug use looks like. It is no secret that Jaco dealt with severe substance abuse problems. This does not take away from his ability tho. BTW, I played with Jaco in 86' at Art Stocks in Florida. This was when Jaco was struggling and was homeless from what I was told. He showed up and I had the pleasure to jam some improv with him. Will never forget it.
@@JonHop1 We all know the Jaco drug and mental health stories. I'm glad you were able to pull yourself out of a death dealing spiral. Keep yourself clean man!
A technical master with Hendrix creativity . Never equaled .
Dude was on an Alien Level!
Thank whatever God you worship that we have these live performances!

Yea, I heard. I wish Berliner would release the original tapes and release as a DVD. Thanks
I agree. It was broadcasted on German Tv
I was there too saw the first
So great!
Really cool ! Man I love this Jaco playing one of is best compositions au naturel LOL. He Doesn't need any sauce with it !
The more and more of video's of Jaco surface, the more I'm completely blown away buy what he did and could do. This is like seeing Coltrane barwalk, or Frank Sinatra crooning the audience. Jaco will live forever!!
I just love his bass playing. Mind blowing, jazz rules
I have been imitating Jaco since 1984 , think I just uploaded a decent take on Dolphin Dance but it is a long journey into music . I still walking 😊
still love his sounds!!
Sempre Jaco pastorius brilhante
Artista cênico Top

i didn’t even know there was video of this concert… jesus
I'm just crying ^^ what an awesome feeling
It's to bad the vid ends so soon. The really good stuff comes just after this vid ends. I wish I could find that extended clip!
The Music of Jaco Pastorius is a lesson : what seems impossible can be done ...
And he did it ! ♥
fretless wireless speechless
Priceless
everywhere but the stage
He hits the stage at 5:40. LOL
Emocionante!
If I could only play with someone of that caliber…Jaco would make me better. That’s the way it works, and visa versa.
legend
Greatest bassist of all times, great musician and composer...such a pitty how he ended...say no to drugs always, they suck!!!!
It was hard dealing with the pressure back then. Many musicians were doing it. He didn’t have that inner peace that he once had.
That’s true, I am a musician myself and have struggled with the environment too...thank God never been to drugs, but I’ve seen kids who hanged around with me loose their lives because of drugs, 15 year old kids...I really wish people just play and don’ t get involved into that crap...
@@martinturco3668 Yea, we have been hurt by losing people like Jimi, Jaco, Kurt, Janis, Bird and so much more. Straight up innovators!

Words can not..
That’s what music does.
Bass player, and drummer..yeah.
He played piano pretty well too.
❤
The language of Jaco is the language of the modern société and the Dreams of every People of high society
As Wayne Shorter said, "Elegant People"
I sans god when Jacob told me hé is an artist and à gréât man
i keep forgetting to mix this, i have this clip and the full 40 minute audio
So do I.
where is the footage from cuba with John and Tony I'm been dying to see that like Lifetime footage from 69-70 or 75-76 IS THERE JUST NONE ,..... Not enough Jaco footage from the 70;s also ... Not enough footage from the 70;s period ...

Currently trying to learn this
4:32 ...what a lucky guy is that on german flag colors! He's watchin God in person at few meters of distance
👍👍👍👍😊
🙏 ✌ ❤ 🎶 🌎 👏
WHITNESS ME!
Its like being on the roadside as Christ carried his own cross to the mount. Profound.
I used to think that way back when I was a teenager seeing this in the 90's before youtube. I actually had a dream about a concert that was an extension of this show. I woke up in tears.
where did this took place? what theater or whatever
I think Berlin Philharmonie
Not absolutely sure...
Judging by the length of his hair sometime during weather report
This was the Berliner Jazzstage 1979, he played two shows.
Was this with WR?
No, this was a solo effort. 79 year was a year that WR didn’t have a full tour, they had a partial tour. Jaco also played with Joni Mitchell that year. This would have been a good year for him to join Columbia and produce a solo album, but not enough time. They would have given him more freedom, since he was already with WR.
@@flame-sky7148 Thanks. Saw him with both WR and Joni that year. Was utterly mind-blown..
you’re very fortunate.
@@flame-sky7148 I know - altho I was almost traumatized by it it was so good...
@@wonder6789 Yea, there music is like a concoction. It seeps you in and it can be devastating in a good way.
👍Too bad the sound's so bad...
look at his jaw move.. he prob on a ton of coke.
He is singing, that's why his jaw is moving.
@@philreid984 uhh, do u know anything about speed? Have u taken it before? I'm taking about his jaws sideways movements bud, not the up n down....
@@JonHop1 Do you play Jon? I move my mouth when I play. I hum the melodies I'm playing. Again if you listen while his mouth is moving, up and down and sideways you can hear him singing. But if the drug thing is important to ya, so be it 🙂
