me thinks...Jeff Berlin by a long ways.

 

I saw them in Seattle last weekend (fri nite). I was most familiar with Stu's and Billy's work. I was only aware of a couple of recordings with Jeff backing up other people's efforts....

 

But Jeff smoked these other two guys totally. Being a jazz guy his soloing was much more melodic and interesting. His grooves were way more interesting and well rounded to my ear as well.

 

Their encore..when all three were on stage together was a hoot...

 

They did...

 

Big Bottom - Spinal Tap

 

and the Eric Clapton/Cream arrangement of Crossroads...

 

both songs were very entertaining...my fav was BB it cracked me up.

 

Good show all in all. Sorry if this is a repeat thread...I just had to say it.

 

 

Regards,

3 totally different styles, really can't compare an accomplished jazz player (Berlin) , with a technical instrumental "rock" bassist (Hamm) with an overdriven happy metal head (Sheehan). It's like trying to compare Rush Vs. Spyro Gyra......

Now let's try comparing Jeff Berlin vs. John Pattitucci :thu:

Yup. ..funny, I listened to several YouTube clips of the BX3 shows and liked Billy's work best. Guess I'm an overdriven happy metal head too. :freak::thu:

I saw those three at Bass Player Live. My vote goes for when Stanely, Marcus and Victor did their trio.

 

 

+1...but Billy's set totally rocked!

 

I think I'll stay with Stanley Clarkes and his upright slapping. I've never heard anything like that before...it gave me goosebumps!
