"B's River"................................................................................... and i used to think Steveland was his most beautiful "ballad". If u want to appreciate this song spend one night listening to the rapids on the Congo River. Or sleeping thru a deluge in Victoria. Mesmerizing!! Thank U Marcus!!!! A billion times over!!!
Point of correction. HILIFE originated from the Republic of Ghana and as the name suggests it means a life style that is on a higher level. That means the music takes you to another level of life. Thanks'
Quels beaux mélanges de genres musicaux, où l'on croise ce Jazz fusion qui a la saveur des mélodies et la frappe stylée de ce leader bassiste de talent gorgée d'un zeste de soul, qui sait faire sonner les rythmes !! Un régal pour les mélomanes, mais aussi pour les musiciens...qui aiment ... le Jazz rock....mais surtout les vrais musiciens qui sont assoiffés de belles musiques métissées...Bravo à Marcus et ses musiciens, un vrai plaisir ! Un conseil : allez les voir en concert...!!
Clever and carefully selected reference to the slave experience, without it going political. A measure of This man as a human being, let alone a musician. We salute you Marcus.
Wow, 166 million views ! Oh wait, that was in a dream, in a world where excellent, fantastic, brilliant LIVE music was appreciated much more and even ruled the charts. Imagine that.
Glad to see Marcus Miller playing his signature series basses in concert. I've read some comments that says the Fender MM bass sounds better. Well,I think that's a personal opinion. As for me,I happen to think that MM to the limit in making this bass very affordable,but most importantly it sounds as good as the Fender with far more flexibilty for about half the price for the 4 string and about 1/5 for the 5 string. Thanks Marcus Miller for making such a fine instrument.
The MM5 is a fantastic playing and sounding instrument. Plays and feels like the much more expensive Custom Fender Basses. Tone in passive is very nice vintage and in active it has Marcus signature tone. Although personally I prefer the Fedora Emperor bass. Fantastic versatile instrument. Never played the new brand Marcus is endorsing now.
@@VoxTone2009 The main factor regarding whther or not a bass "sounds good" is the one playing it. Take a look at Andre Berry's performance in Montreux when he handled the bass part for David Sanborn. He used a sub-$1,000 bass yet performed an excellemt sounding solo woth it. I didn't nelieve him at first when he mentioned the price of his bass but it checked out.
@@kavemankarl2588 Obviously the level of playing makes a huge difference, but there is big factor in the sound too, some equipment sound very similar and good or different and good and some just does not sound good. If you ever gone to a bad mixed concert you know what I mean. Doesn't matter how good the musicians were, you just went away feeling disappointed. Compare that to a good mixed concert with good equipment and sound pressure that was not too loud so it hurt your ears and/or distorted the speakers and the instruments came through good independently. Some speakers for example don't have the definition and always sound muddy, some have very fine and articulate sound were you can hear the different instruments' nuances. Same thing with some preamps and pickups in bass/guitar etc. Recording with cheap sterile mics will do the same. Add some ribbon and warm tube condenser mics and the sound comes alive regardless how good the musician are (assuming some decent level of playing). A friend of mine has recorded one of the world's renowned Symphony Orchestras (you can't argue that the musicians were not phenomenal). I was there for fun when they tried different mics and placement and the sound was just so different. The mix and mics change the sound from OK to phenomenal. As for Marcus Miller's change of equipment. I have sat very close to a small concert on many occasion (same venue) and I could clearly hear how much better he sounded with some gear. Even switching basses from his old MM to the new brand I could hear some warmth go away and become sterile with the new instruments. Same when he switch amps.
@@VoxTone2009 You make excellent points. I guess what I had meant to say was that, even among professional musicians themselves, some have "the ear" and some just don't. The former will choose, test and adjust their equipment accordingly (within the limitations of their given environments and equipment) for best tonal rendering while the latter will rely more on sound engineering for this purpose. Also I admit my comment wasn't clear regarding SQ of performances involving more than a few individuals, be they rock bands, jazz ensembles or symphonic orchestras, to name a few examples. The resulting SQ in such cases, provided source material is of acceptable quality is of course determined during the final mixing stage and is best left to technical sound engineering skills than musical proficiency. But that being said, the "golden ear" still factors in despite the use of software auto-tuners and associated production aids. These accelerate the production process but we still need someone (not a bot) who's blessed with a hearing that is in tune with a majority of listeners' tastes. You sound like you could be such as asset yourself 😉
Fantastic show again guys, I Love you with a capital L, this is supreme craftsmanship on an artistic overload, the whole band rolls like a well oiled steam train. Thank you so much for all the goosebumps!
I can watch this over and over again. First of al so much respect and love for these artists. Every one of them is a on such a high level on his instrument. They worked hard for that and are very talented guys. I would lie if I was not a little bit jealous on there skills haha because they are really good.. I love this, it is so beautiful. Every track played so nasty dirty funky, really good. A big inspiration to me and a big motivator for quality music with really good musicians that moves our souls through the language of music. Love Respect!!
I'm asian and as a bass player I have a great respect for black... they might not be fair skin but man they have the gift of music in their blood. Respect.
Mark, please know that fairness is just a color. we are all humans and once there's life, you will get to see talents from all sorts of individuals, Thanks for having great respect for Blacks. I'm in Asia now and I also love you guys. I'm a piano player and wish we could meet one day and jam together.
"they might not be fair skin but ... they have the gift of music in their blood"? jeezus! give me a bubba racist any day. at least they're honest about their racism.

In reference to Marcus speaking at about the 1:00:00 mark: I was just thinking how strange it is that funk, as a music style, is one of the music styles that really speaks to my heart yet its roots stem from the horrific events surrounding the enslaving of fellow human beings; people being stripped of all they know, stolen from their lives, homeland, family and friends, hopes and dreams for their lives' future. For these people, being taken across an expanse of water greater than anything that they can imagine in measure would be like our fear, as the human species, of an alien species from another planet coming down and swiping us up into their spaceship, whisking us off to somewhere across the vastness of space... across distances that are too vast for us to imagine in measure... to an alien world where we are treated as working robots for them... with no thought or consideration for our feelings or even acknowledgement that we have any. Funk music is like the inverse of all of that horribleness. It picks you up when nothing else seems to have the capacity to. Maybe Marcus is right in saying that it was the music that gave them the strength to succeed and overcome their horiffic adversity.
During Jean Pierre, Alex walks around stage becoming a magic disney butterfly that gives life to every instrument it touches. That's what I imagined, anyway...
On another note (intended pun), it's great the see the Sire bass in action against it's big sister, the Fender. On this showing though, despite the great reviews on the former, the Fender takes by a length, for both grit and punch. I still like the V7s I own though. Anyway, thanks for posting this. I thoroughly enjoyed the viewing and the musical inspiration.
hahabass They are two different basses. To me it's as if he played on an other brand and then switched to the fender. Well in fact that's what he did 😂. Can't compare them. They are two different basses.
and what do you guys think about the size and power of the bass clarinet? I saw it during his concert at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on "the 3rd of September" during Lowcountry Jazz Festival of 2015. The song is Goree that he introduced this instrument on, I didn't know he had it in him.
I was thinking the same thing!! Lol I think, he's showing US where the music actually originated!! Check out his reference to Mino from their 1980's days with Miles!! Peace

You can tell the music is good by how positive and friendly all the comments are!
And yet there's 56 bozos who gave it a thumbs down (as of June, 2020). Why do they bother, no idea. When I don't like something I just move on.

Amazing concert - thanks! Unfortunately I saw him live always little "unjazzy"... (Mainz, Berlin)
I was stationed in mainz in 1983-87. Berlin 1989-91. Loved every second. Sgt army. Medical NCO
Fantastic !!!!
Nice to see Marcus playing his signature 5 string.
+dougbass654 i think you are wrong
+varconv about???
+dougbass654 sorry sir, I'm the one who is wrong. I thought you meant the fender 5 strings.
+varconv lol. No problem.
+varconv He hasn't been playing the Fender V lately, has he?
I have heard it is not such a good bass, compared to the other Fender products.
The one and only!!!
During Jean Pierre, Alex walks around stage becoming a magic disney butterfly that gives life to every instrument it touches. That's what I imagined, anyway...
Sweet, great music..!
wowwwww papa was a rollin stone yeah2
thanks man!
It isn't Cato drumming, but Alex Bailey
+Brecht Verhelle and such a drummer... I´ve also notice he didn´t look like Cato
Marcus Miller you are a genius
El mejor bajista del mundo !!!
Un grande absoluto!!
LOVE THIS DUDE......
Its on!!!
Alex Han en la percusion en Son of Macbeth!! Que musicos de la hostia!!!
The track finishing at around 30:45, just beautiful... "B's River".
Reminds me a lot of Dire Straits in Brothers In Arms, the whole last 1/3 of the song. And that's a compliment :)
