Jim Lacefield, bass Alex Acuña, drums Hiram Bullock, guitar RIP 💐❤

[@user-jd9fl2zx2u]

Love Alex Acuna

[@lemonsun]

Great thing about Hiram is that he always played in a relaxed, fun, soulful way

[@GS-uy4xo]

20:30 what a move!! I remember seeing him walk around the orchestra pit railing during a solo - killing lines, I couldn’t believe it! What a true artist.

[@albertking1566]

I saw him do the same. He solo’d as he walked atop the second level balcony railing of the Community Center Theatre in Sacramento. It was both amazing and insane!

[@nuthinbutlove]

If I could "like" this 10,000 times I would. At the top of my short list of favorites players and tone artists of all time! Hiram, I miss your creativity, style, tone, chops. ♥️

[@grrakkh4459]

man I keep coming back time and time again. just incredible performance, never getting tired of it

[@erikshen1107]

Hiram Bullock... Then Now FOREVER!

[@IDIGMUZAK]

Only 5 minutes in and Im like WTH. Jimi Hendrix comes back from the other side after Jamming with Herbie Hancock for 100 years. What a monster musician Hiram was.

[@gordonarnold7465]

What a gifted Man 🎸 I miss him so much 👏 Truly a Genius at what he does Rest In Peace ✌️ 👊 🙏😇🎸👀👏

[@friendofbeaver6636]

When I saw Hiram at Finney Chapel in Oberlin, Ohio he had a wireless for his guitar. He wandered around the venue and even hung from the balcony railing by his legs while playing. What a talent and showman!

[@toniant4842]

Anyone see the Great Actor Peter O Toole … stop Dave Letteman during his interview… to applaud Hiram ? … and say how exceptional he was playing with the Most Dangerous Band led by Paul Schaefer ? … that’s when you know …. You have touched someone musically out of your realm …. Beautiful 👍👍🙏🙏

[@tomcoryell]

Good on Peter O’Toole!

[@tyronesmith6719]

One of my favorite musicians and one of the greatest guitar players that I have ever heard. He could play anything and it sounded good. He always sounded good no matter what he was playing or who he was playing with. Also, Alex Acuna is a Super Bad Slamming Drummer!

[@vilsonmoura1957]

Me impressiona a crítica ao Alex acuna , todos tem direito opinião ,mas gostaria de saber o critérios desta crítica; me ajudaria e muito entender a dinâmica...

[@jlr022159]

I keep coming back to this… man Hiram was just so great! At 10:50 he does this totally insane run… I had to back it up and listen to it four or five times and all I could do is just laugh with joy because it was so amazing!

[@sunsetpanera2631]

It's wonderful that I've found this. I studied briefly at MI in the mid-1990's. Happiest 9 months of my entire life

[@Skipperj]

Dolphin Dance, what a great tune, and he was awesome on it.

[@grrakkh4459]

I listened to most of his live concerts here on youtube but this is by far my favorite performance! incredibly loose, brutal and melodic, pure awesomness

[@alanblakeguitarist]

Fuck!! I miss Hiram!!! This was the time he was playing close to as best he did. He still had his strat

[@strangesevin]

He was one of my favorites so uniqe creative raw and technical so great his feel miss him rip thank you for your contribution to great music

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

He was at the top of his game at the time of this recording

[@Kassiusday]

Was lucky to saw Hiram in live once / he did walk and run among the public 🤣playing his fantastic used & “old guitare 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾! Was great !!

[@funklover24]

Yeah! Remember him dancing on a table, whil he was soloing. Later he left the concert-hall, but still was together with the band so tight. 🙃😆 Miss him so much, may he rest in peace. 💐❤

[@zross8471]

This might be the best Hiram performance Ive seen. @#$% that guy was great.

[@robintioke9017]

Massive guitarist fantastic musicians

[@LucilleBrawl17]

This is awesome! I love the bass' tone.

[@grrakkh4459]

this is my absolute favorite performance of Hiram! the whole band is just incredible, their groove is surreal

[@drumtravelfun]

RIP. Loved Hiram on Letterman and Sunday Night/Night Music.

[@Tunesketcher]

Musicality, inventiveness and creativity on the spot just pours out of Hiram..nothing stands in his way..RIP!

[@fusionfan6883]

Considering all the criticism of the bassist Jim Lacefield here, I must hear things differently to other people because I am loving his fat sound and groove. Many were influenced by Jaco but few managed to get close to the groove, but Jim does a pretty fine job. Its notable that Hiram played with Jaco in his later days and I am guessing that is why he picked Alex on drums here and Jim with his pretty decent Jaco stylings.

[@jordanfrancisco27]

He's funky. I don't know what people are talking about here.

[@chrislj2005]

Pretty decent? WTF?.The bassist is awesome

[@bababooey5314]

he is a very good player but why was he insistently playing the intro to Teen Town while HB was talking to the audience. Rather immature......

[@thebreathalyzer]

The best parts of this are pure magic, some wonderful soloing from Hiram where he really stretches out!

[@jazzermonk]

Thanks for posting this! Always looking for new Hiram footage and this delivered!

[@andreacerretani9289]

Grande Hiram Bullock, in quegli anni era in forma stepitosa, suonava benissimo !!

[@amsedelm]

Really enjoyed this show. I didn't know Hiram was such a great player. Everything I heard by him was just okay. This is great. RIP.

[@seaweeedbath]

11:00...Great catch from the drum tech rescuing the hats... Acuna is so ferocious on the hats he'd need an industrial clutch.

[@clydebermingham121]

His sense of harmony & melodic phrasing was pretty deep

[@mariomessina6389]

Man the groove was on blazing fire 🔥 this night! Hiram will always be a inspiration to me , he was one of the guitarists that changed my path as a listener and later finally picking the guitar back up as a hobby . He played with so many great musicians that I also have had a joy to listen to Including Will Lee, Clint DE Gannon , Ricky Peterson , Kenny Kirkland , Charley Dreyton , the Brecker Brothers , sting, Manu Katche , Marcus Miller etc . I was fortunate to see Hiram live in 2006 at the Detroit jazz festival 2 years before he passed , saw him with my dad and it's a great memory of my dad who also was a professional musician

[@MecPex]

Era all'apice della sua maturazione e fusione tra rock jazz e funky. Nobody else like him.

[@ArnellCarmichael]

Following him since the 70's great to see this awesome

[@simonvizuette6222]

Hiram started playing bass originally when was at Jr High School in Panama Canal Zone back in 1967 . Was a great performer then switched to guitar when moved back to USA.

[@wb1969]

A great musician and really funny guy off stage.

[@hoffy1003]

He's always been such an interesting player.

[@markusberndgeorg2385]

zawinul,shorter, pastorius,acuna,badrena, this formation wos a great period of weather report ( black market) GOD BLESS!!!!!!!

[@fernandovidalguitarplayer5107]

[@thierryfidaleo9681]

I saw this concert because i was to PIT in 90s amazing expérience !!!

[@gyitardave9872]

Awesome playing, genius at work

[@terryharris2569]

Hiram badass master player, got a chance to see him one time !

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

what a trio. It is simply brilliant to an extent that it almost hurts. Hiram seems reasonable sober and 100 percent engaged.

[@bababooey5314]

How cool that at 14:13 he just yells out "E" and th key is changed mid stream This is quite good.......

[@FlowLifeWorld]

Just talked to a CL who referred me to this man, Thank you for the Music Melvin. RIP Hiram

[@felipenicholls6434]

Great bass player!!!

[@Jedizen07]

I miss Hiram.

[@lefujyou]

me too!

[@MrMts9]

me too...man the great times seeing the H man at the city clubs including TOBACCO ROAD...THAT DUMP...hehe...HE was great!

[@mariomessina6389]

Monster talent I miss him too ! Was fortunate to see him in 2006 at the Detroit jazz festival . I play his music all the time and love his style and I a m learning things from him as I develop my guitar style

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

vikings9 was a regular at Mannys Car Wash on the Upper East Side. I use to live around the corner. Saw him many times.

[@jlr022159]

David McCain: I do too... he was great. Always loved him on Letterman... playing barefoot and hanging such cool riffs in the air. He was amazing. 😢

[@cavestreets2008]

Grandissimo Hiram !!

[@arielgamarra3]

Bom descanso meu amigo 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@vspaulding1]

Hiraim reminds me of Jimi Hendrix:)

[@robintioke9017]

Wicked bass player

[@gasmaskbassplayer3382]

Bass player is smokin’ hot too. Hiram on a Stratocaster, pure energy-positive electricity.

[@TheloniusJ]

So damn good

[@Eddie-hn5hp]

R.I.P. MAESTROES HIRAM AND KATREESE BARNES

Saudoso HB (RIP)

[@TheBetrod]

[@ArnellCarmichael]

Someone tell me who the drummer and bass player are they equally awesome

[@fabriciusphellix8258]

Tenho cd do Jaco Pastorius que tem a participação dele Hiran bullock ...

[@mletalien]

Sick Playing

[@gunterponisch4396]

Wonderful Hiram, but who is the Bass Player?

[@in2theair67]

Who is the bass player ?

[@markwood3389]

What date was this?

[@ericongames]

"This guy is teening out"

[@SuperQdaddy]

Wow alex on drums...nice *

[@Duxelles84]

Dude never wore shoes .Always those white tube socks. Lmao

[@yeshuacalderonespinoza1717]

alex acuña hijo de dios y de pativilca peru caramba

[@AndrzejNowak-et3sz]

Who is the person playing bass guitar?

[@Dwoed]

Shades was a fashion those days

[@briankubarycz296]

Why didn't he ever play with Bowie?

[@blackmiroz]

Daaaamnn

[@companyfillco-vk2lk]

저 기타가 바로..

[@yeshuacalderonespinoza1717]

el bajo suena como si hiram estuviera con jaco pastorius yeaaaa

[@jazz65]

i wish there was another bass player

[@sonsofisaacs1091]

HELLO SIR..🤗🤗 SORRY FOR DISTURBING.. We are talking about the Bass Player.. In my opinion.. He's ok,but in some point he's make it 'busy' by playing too many notes and lose the counting with the drum.. I'am really sorry,sir.. I'am not a very well trained musician,but i really love to played with musicians with dynamics control and just know the right time to step in.. I think,playing on 3 piece band every instrunent supposed to do more than usual by playing extra to fill the space.. But beside the extra playing most important is to maintaining the time tempo and bar counting to keep the band playing tight.. During Hiram Guitar solo on Teen Town,the Bass Player not working together with drum by put the extra note on the bass line and making the two instrument look like confused by each other and all of these make istener realise something happend on the stage between the two instrument.. At the some placeand situation,the less note we play more easy to other instrument to playing together understanding each others and make it easy to locked and groove.. When i younger,i loved to playing fast and put on many notes as i can.. I didn't care about dynamics.. Always 'busy' without care to give enough space to other musicians to put something on. It just my opinion sir,i'am may wrong but its ok to let me knew. Oh ya,my English isn't to well.. I hope you could understood. Thabks sir,have a nice day

[@musician069]

Noodling while Hiram talking and still f’kd it up. Geez

[@hdeline]

Haha I like how the hi hat came apart and was fixed on the fly....Neil Peart would have sent his body guards after the hi hat repair man,but Neil isn't in the same league to even smell this drummers dirty shorts.

[@RozarSmacco]

Heather sorry just cause someone’s a Jazz-cat doesn’t make them instantly better than other types of musicians. Really immature to compare great artists in the first place turns out Peart has a big band jazz background so could do most any of the techniques here. Bass player shouldn’t play while Hiram speaks. That’s the first thing I learned at MI: “no noodling!”

[@vilsonmoura1957]

Kkkk

[@ahighwaymusic9749]

almost without fail a great jazz musician is actually better than a rock guy..... especially drummers and bass players. Alex Acuna IS a better drummer and percussionist than neil peart ever was. Its just a simple truth.

[@sonsofisaacs1091]

@@ahighwaymusic9749 Hai sir,may i share something..? About Rock or Jazz musiians which better than other.. At sone place i agreed with you sir by a few reasons.. HERE I SHARE ABOUT 'ROCK' and JAZZ GUY MUSICIANS THAT I KNOW FROM MY PLACE "..ROCK GUY.." - Most of the Rock guys have not learning 'Music' from school.. - Most of them knew nothing about music theory.. - Even that they can play, just Rock Blues Metal and some others.. - Most of them can't read music - Some of them really talented and very good musicians.. - But..Lack of knowledge in theory and not able to read music notation just limiting their change to join the other musicians and no one calling them to doin a recordimg session,because they can't read "..JAZZ GUY.." - Mostly they're learn music from School,abd tbey're knew the theory and can read muzik notation.. - Some of them playing muzik on Hotel and Night Club.. - They also can play Rock Blues some Classiccal and others.. - Some of them really² talented musicians,multi instrumentalist amd working as Muzik Teacher for children.. - Few of my "JAZZ GUY" freinds work as a Professional Musicians,like a Session Musicians Tuoring Musicians Playing With Orchestra some of them playing on a Night Club.. BETWEEN ROCK and JAZZ MUSIICIANS,WHICH BETTER THAN THE OTHERS..? - No One....! - ROCK and JAZZ just a genre of music.. - Some had advantage than the other,by able to read music.. - But some playing much² better than other even they haven't learn theory and not able to read,but really talented..

[@guillermodesimone5307]

in drums Alex Acuña

[@ludlow555]

When was this?

[@4themoney712]

Looks like his visit to MI in 1990

[@4themoney712]

Yes, I have a photo from that concert - same t-shirt and him playing while resting on his elbow on the floor 🙏

[@jlr022159]

the bass player shouldn't noodle over hiram's voice while he was speaking.

[@fusionfan6883]

He was teasing the song......Hiram was setting it up.

[@GS-uy4xo]

Agreed- looks like he was trying to remember the changes - he gets lost and Hiram had to guide him around 9:55 , it’s a monster tune. I saw Hiram play it with Jaco in their trio with Kenwood Dennard , amazing playing!!!

[@charismotron]

What is the tune at 8:45?

[@kevinkmny]

Teen Town by Weather Report(Jaco Pastorius).

[@ThomasBlomster]

I will never understand those of you who post shit about musicians that kick ass, like this bassist? WTF? Please post your own videos of how hot a bassist you are when you snob off like this. Jesus!

[@robintioke9017]

And Alex Acuna

[@hanoul1234]

Strange. I heard his guitar tone. Im feeling Sad

[@MrIlvis]

This music is so much percent JACOLIKE!!! :)

[@fusionfan6883]

That is becasue Hiram played wiht Jaco in his later years with Kenwood Dennard.

[@jacko222333]

24:59 Popeye theme quote i think

[@zross8471]

Also the bass player is the only holding the greatness of the band back. Shouldnt be noodling while Hiram is talking to the crowd.

[@anthonybulluck8050]

Bassist isn't noodling; he's just started the next song, musically supporting Hiram's spoken intro...it's all about the music!

[@Mrius86]

Weird. A great guitarist, great technique, great timing. But I don't enjoy it at all.
