Bill Frisell ~ Pipeline

[@alanmatthew5713]

Bill Frisell is one of the most UNDERRATED guitarists. He plays SPACE much better than many play notes.

[@michaelhayman2549]

Hi, Thing that amazes me about Bill is he always looks like he’s about to blow the next note but always pulls it off like the consummate guitar player he is.

[@9monava]

Also, loving Kenny Wollesen's cymbal set up!

[@genez429]

These mature musicians have transformed an old simple surf classic into a sophisticated, beautiful song. Its truly wonderful to listen to.

[@scottski51]

Ex-ACT-ly!!! Like a finished, polished final form. Plus it just occasionally hints at the melodic line of the original. Fantastic !!!

[@mexwieshofer7140]

there is no such thing like "a simple surf classic"

[@genez429]

@@mexwieshofer7140 In what way? Is it the "classic" part that bothers you? In my first band surf songs seemed to be the easiest to learn.

[@mexwieshofer7140]

@@genez429 what i wanna say is, that its not the complexity of chords, or melodies that make a song. there's lots of surf songs that are quite complex but sound very simple. and there's songs with only two chords that are really hard to play and never sound quite right...

[@daveyohill]

I totally dig Bill's venture into this stream of Americana with "Guitars in the Space Age". The guy can do it all. His playful and slightly mischievous spirit come through in all of his music. I dig it all.

[@JCHaywire]

I served Mr. Frisell his scrambled eggs at Seattle's Hi-Spot back in the day. Saw his "The Willies" combo and had a GREAT time. I just love Frisell's tone and his approach.

[@adrianscally]

That is very cool. He seems so incredibly, almost painfully, humble. Saw his trio last year, in a relative backwater in North-Eastern Spain and his whole interaction with the audience was 'Thank you. Tony Scher. Kenny Wolleson.' The rest was total music. Goddamn privilege. You served this man eggs? I need to know more.

[@davekirby7790]

after hearing IN MY ROOM this is a great song to I love the way they put a blues touch to the song ...great job ...I would love to have love to listen to them at a show

[@9monava]

Wow, so creative! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@peacetrain3320]

Touch of greatness!!!

[@capeheartriz]

this session is some of the best Frisell, I've heard so far.....wonderful!

[@atarirob]

Those reverse loops man, holy shit. Absolutely insane.

[@stevemack4643]

I have been a surf music fan since the beginning. I may have heard every version of this tune ever recorded. It is nice to hear someone do a new take on a classic tune and actually add something unique and inventive. This just became one of my top three favorite versions of Pipeline. The top two will always be the original by The Chantays, and the cover by Agent Orange

[@duaneanderson9921]

surf music with a wonderful and wonder twist.oh yeah

[@whiterice1024]

This is absolutely wonderful.

[@leopoldopetrieska6564]

i don't have words to describe how much i enjoyed this

[@simplytroy]

Fantastic! Such an atmospheric performance

[@fdcentrella0069]

Bill Frisell and band make this classic surf music piece even more fun!

[@mumbles552]

Probably the best version of Pipeline I've heard yet!

[@hdr0531]

The combination of Bill and Greg is unbeatable I hope they continue touring and recording as long a possible

[@bilalcark]

I don't know exactly why I love this piece so much

Because Surf's Up, Dude 🏄‍♀️

[@fdcentrella0069]

Absolutely inspired version of a surf classic. Inspiring!

[@FrancescoAlcozer]

Surf music, space genre and, eventually, robotic music characterized the melodies of the 60s and early 70s. Greetings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5iblKZ7nciBg80 *ROADHOUSE 💚 BOOGIE* Guitar cover by *Duane 💛 Eddy*

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@scottski51]

Half a century later, the much larger drum presence makes this sophisticated version really enjoyable. Evolution.

[@crichta]

This makes me smile with inner joy.

[@genefreak2]

This is such a beautiful rendition. Pipeline is the first song, that got me hooked to the guitar, and this rendition is so nice and intricate and spacy.

[@FrancescoAlcozer]

Surf music and space genre characterized music in the 1960s, with the guitar predominating. Greetings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnLZqYyFfZx1mMU *THE MODEL* Guitar solo version in the style of *KRAFTWERK*

This is one of my favorite tracks on the 'space age', I saw these wonderful guys ten days before this great performace in bologna jazz festival. Thanks for sharing

[@SchwartzDaddy]

Just off the chain. I can't count how many times I've listened to this

[@georgekraft1401]

Love it. what I would really like to hear though is Bill Frisell and Glenn Phillips playing together, my God, what a jam that would be!!

[@TheSecondNature]

love that Greg pretty much plays lead guitar here. Love his playing

[@LunaticSpice]

This is brilliant 👌🏻

[@eyedonschott]

Could have ripped right into Riders on the Storm

[@bjboogie01]

my favorite tune on "Guitars in the Space Age ... fun to play in the car when driving at night

[@haimlute]

Simply genius!!!!!

[@ellissmith6166]

Excellent!

[@alexbowie6316]

Groovy beyond belief!

[@HAL9007]

Like all really-great guitarists -- Frisell's playing is always in service of the melody, the song. He almost never "shows off." The space between the notes is as important as the notes. And he has really good TONE. I put Frisell in a small group -- with Peter Green, JJ Cale, Mark Knopfler. But he really goes way beyond R&R -- into jazz, classical, almost every genre. Hell, he has 50 "main albums." BTW: I am in the process of adding Otis Taylor to my small group. Listen to his "Hey Joe Opus" to see why. He has a great body of work.

[@dermotmeuchner2416]

Lol, he’s Ahmad Jamal on guitar. The man is exceptional.

[@larrymiller4]

That's deranged! I have probably heard every version, every interpretation, and this tops them all. The personnel complement each other masterfully. Tone and effects are perfect, not overdone, just right. Wish I could get the name of the other musicians.

[@bjboogie01]

Kenny Wollesen - drums, Greg Leisz - guitar, Tony Scherr - bass

[@edtoy]

Greg Liesz is guitar player on left, long time accompanist with Bill, Bill even title a song after his namesake. Greg is a powerhouse studio player with countless other big names and also tours with Jackson Browne.

[@larrymiller4]

@@edtoy Thanks. I have since learned a lot more about him.

Someone let this guy score a western or mission impossible movie already

+D'andre Chesterfield or the next bond movie

[@gannonroberts9392]

He needs to get up with Ennio Morricone, the guy who wrote and conducted all of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns. A Fistful of Dollars, etc.

[@RicardoRedLion]

Bill treated us with the soundtrack to the movie "All Hat" in 2008. Thematic beauty.

[@harriheinsoo]

Take a listen to Bill's album "When You Wish Upon A Star" which contains only movie soundtracks.

[@GeoffLogie]

Would love to hear these guys do a version of SLEEP WALK...that is if they haven't already and I cant find it...

[@josemolina959]

Love Bill! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

now this is worth listening and worth playing....can you imagine going to a bill frisell"s concert where he would play all your favorite venture songs arranged on his style?

Listen to his album "Guitar In Space Age" for more

[@lazur1]

I wanna hear bill do Fleetwood Mac / Peter Green's "Green Manalishi"

[@Beemerboy324]

Wow! One beautiful rendition. Les Paul would chide him for playing the wrong guitar but totally get it. Go Bill!

[@rabokarabekian409]

True guitarists can tell he has alnico magnets and CTS pots though, right (per typical vids for players)?

[@warholnyc]

I can hear elements of Television especially around 2:30.

[@soufianefariss]

They remind me of The Doors

[@rabokarabekian409]

Does he somewhere do an enormously complex, nuanced slow version of "My ding-a-ling"? It would follow from this sort of showcase of him.

[@stuart2071]

Deep cut!

[@mitchgawlik1175]

Bill should have retitled this "Pipeline Exploration".

Worst version of Pipeline I have ever heard.

[@overundersidewaysdown7010]

Kind of a poor man's Jeff Beck.

[@overundersidewaysdown7010]

Just what it says.

[@overundersidewaysdown7010]

Do you know who Beck is? Google it. Go on KZbin and listen to him play the guitar AND bass on the song my username comes from, by "The Yardbirds".

[@samferguson9171]

Oh dear god. What a stupid thing to say.

[@Huntington2012ify]

Beck is not even on the map here. Bill Frisell runs circles arounnd poor Jeff in every respect.

[@nanordstrom]

I really hate talentless musicians destroy a classical surf song, compare this version to the ventures and you will know exactly what I mean. Please, recycle these guys!

[@edfox7672]

Talentless? Pull your head out of your ass.

[@stevemack4643]

This tune is by The Chantays. The COVER version by the Ventures is utterly boring at best. Frisell can play rings around any member of The Ventures.
