Jesse Johnson The Stick/777-9311 Austin TX Dec 2019

[@REDD_BLITZ]

JJ's so UNSUNG in my opinion to the point of it not being funny. Man is hella genius!!!✊

[@courylanders4142]

Someone said Prince didn't fear any guitar player except Jesse Johnson.

[@shirleyw.6783]

I loved me some Jesse back in the days and I see he still got it going on 💚

[@mrsain19]

that 777-9311 drum pattern is so difficult. imagine playing it for 8-10 min straight too. shout outs to Prince, Morris, and Jellybean for mastering the art.

[@thepromiseman7745]

That drum pattern was done by a Linn drum kit ..it was program by some dude I can't think of his name But no one actually played the drum part to 777-9311

[@mrsain19]

@@thepromiseman7745 it was the Tower Of Power drummer that programmed the original beat. However my initial comment wasnt to suggest it was a live beat during the original recording; it was to give props to the guys mentioned for mastering the beat for the live performances. Because they definitely mastered it for their live concerts.

[@thepromiseman7745]

@@mrsain19 he did pretty good for a Lil min but no one can actually played the pattern . actually the last time I saw the The Time live in concert people were demanding that they play 777-9311 but they never played it

[@mrsain19]

@@thepromiseman7745 I saw them a few years back and they did play it and jellybean killed it as usual. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@phade2blaq]

On the recording they used a Lin drum machine but year that's hard to imitate live.

[@mrsain19]

Jesse aint lying either. SOOOOOO many ppl 'borrowed' things from Prince. Guitar riffs, vocal riffs, and other mannerisms too. In this case, Cameo was mentioned. And we love Cameo for it. But we know where it came from. :)

[@danieldowcoldchillin]

The stick luv that song still jamming this in 2022 !! 😎

[@gaddyify]

They said Prince played the instrument on the earlier Time Albums. Jesse proving in the video he can match Prince licks note for note, and doing it so effortlessly.

[@theoutsideas]

I mean he have been playing these songs for like 40 years he should play um just as good as prince at this point

[@kevinstewart8876]

I love Austin. I betcha most of those people in the audience are musicians themselves.

[@courylanders4142]

He looks good for a 60 year old.

Jesse!! 🤣🤣🤣 Funky man!

[@dsgb1981]

Did Jesse say he didn't get paid? What is he talking about?

[@tylergates4075]

My guess hes talking about the credits he didn't get for his contributions back then with Prince and Time

[@wandawhite1592]

Still good looking

[@jazzbquick389]

Wow!! Jesse had gained some weight in this video.

[@adc2327]

Wait until you get old. It might happen to you. I was cute, mini skirts, heels. Now I am a fat ass. This pandemic didn't help. Gotta get to work!

He's like 60 or 61 now so as we age we tend to gain weight.

@Steve Arce that was uncalled for. And did nobody ever tell you that looks aren't everything? Jesse is super talented and also not looking bad.

[@BA-hb9hh]

Ignorant. Show some respect bro.

Jesse has gotten too old for the long hair

[@NpgSymboL]

It’s the cut and style. Looks short on top.
