If the clip is from Joni's Shadows and Light tour I can recommend buying the DVD. there are some superb tunes on there including jaco's solo. Graeme |

That is great. Wasnt this the tour where they figured out Jaco was crazy? That is, they got him on meds shortly thereafter. There's a kind of frenzied focus, a madness, to his playing here. |

I saw this tour earlier in Providence. Jaco was not manic at all, just what we assumed was his usual amazing self. I was pretty disappointed with the Shadows and Light album and video as it sounded all coked up to me compared to the show I saw which was much gentler and more focused on Joni. Different vibe altogether. However, I've grown to really love the album and DVD since then. I also saw Jaco about 14 months before that with Weather Report in 1978. He was amazing and there was no sign of the impending madness. |

I met Jaco just before the recording of the "Standards" album .The drummer on that recording who I had known for several years previously brought him to the local dive with him that I had a gig at . Jaco complemented me on my syncopated version of 'Sunshine Superman" He also commented on the 71 P bass that I was playing at the time at which time I handed it to him. ( I still have that bass) I will never forget that moment. |

Something else I seem to recall...Joni explaining that Jaco's performance at that gig wasn't typical because he'd just had a fight with his wife right before they went on. Oh no! The dreaded pre-gig fight with girlfriend/wife. How come no one ever talks about "Don Juan's Restless Daughter"? Incredible album, incredible playing. |

Hugh, you are so right about Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. Some of the all time great bass playing, including my favorite recorded bass note: Jaco's entrance on Cotton Avenue, which has some burning licks on it as well. Jaco and Joni were a spectacular team. |

Plus you have Michael Brecker, Lyle Mays, Don Elias and Pat Metheny. Joni put together an amazing band. |
