[@tomislavsekerija1957TN]

There's not much funky music in here, so special TY to all of you funk bro's for all the groove online. I was lucky enough to be in Dublin on 2nd show this year, but hope to have chance to enjoy it in Croatia or Slovenia (there's nice venue in Ljubljana called Kino Siska, Cory Henry was there). Cheers from Croatia. :)

[@LucasSchaffer]

0:16 theo sung the word "imagine" and pointed to john lennon's poster. just the little things... i noticed after watching the video several times. so good and funky.

[@ScaryPockets]

+Lucas Schäffer yaaaa! I think you’re the first to get that

[@LucasSchaffer]

#cool keep the awesome covers coming. i'm kinda addicted. :) a great team work, every musician playing the right thing at the right time. greetings from brazil. #funk

[@LucasSchaffer]

nice bass solo, by the way. i loved how nick was happy after finishing it. hahaha i felt it, man. hehe

[@keepinini9319]

What a good spot! They should do more Easter Eggs, they might as well as I watch them so many times anyhow!

[@Phunkophil]

He's so smooth about it, no wonder barely anyone noticed it.

[@WaitingAtAStoplight]

Scary Pockets you guys killed it as usual, but the featured vocalist really stole the track on this one. Great work Theo.

[@ScaryPockets]

+WaitingAtAStoplight we will not disagree!

[@doobielespaul1677]

I love how he pulled back at 2:00 mark. He was gonna say something and then refrained from stepping on that bass players feet as he introduced his own solo. Pretty groovy to see attentive players in bands. It's about the collective sound. All these musicians are slaying it in their own regards. Awesome stuff as always sir.

[@LevNavarre]

That's a great observation.

[@isaiahhiggins]

Lol or maybe he just forgot he wasn't supposed to sing 😂

[@kevinbtang]

Like a big-band shout chorus!

[@willemh.deboer6031]

Was looking for this comment. That solo was awesome

[@bobposey402]

Here are some of the qualities that make this bass player so freakin’ good. He’s very aware of the song and of the rest of the band, and plays with finesse. His superb technical skill makes every part seem effortless. His tone is terrific, both on this bass and on the Fender Musicmaster with the custom pickups. Every note is clean and full, from the lowest to the highest. And every note is as sustained or as staccato as its place in the tune requires. He never showboats, but he’s always playing beautifully. And the fact that he is obviously enjoying it so much is a big plus.

[@oteiri78]

Word.

[@TrippyTheShroom]

I know this comments 3 years old but still, I fully agree. I've seen several videos with this bassist playing alongside them and each time he stands out in a great way.

[@DannyWoodMusic]

I'm loving Nick Campbell on that bass too.

Oh MAN, how wonderful! If y'all don't know Theo already, he's part of the fantastic funk band Vulfpeck and has brilliant solo work as well.

Came across this 2 years later.....and I'll be playin it 2 years into future and so on and so on! Amazing!

Vulfpeck's "Animal Spirits" (with Theo on the vocals) is pretty much like a Jackson 5 song

vulfpockets! Joint tour would be ridiculous. (don't even know if Scary Pockets tours, but you know)

[@viajeconchuck7345]

In every video and in every collab, everyone brings thier unique flavor to make the performance sweet. In this one the vocals stole the show. Not to mention the arrangement was total killer.

[@Eddyperoguitars]

Theo is amazing... I can't believe how many geniuses singers work with Scary Pockets. Amazing band.

[@slluch]

You are perfect example of how difficult is to make it easy and simple. Young musicians only play to show how good they are...and what they really show is that they are not true musicians. Congrats. You are true musicians. Thank you

[@poshinoposhi]

God I love Nick. I need to breathe the same air he breathes just so I can taste the metal particles that fly off his strings after he plays a heart-melting solo like that. Life is unfair.

[@viddev1442]

DAMN that bassist. You can tell the drummer is listening to him - he smiles at every bass fill :)

[@benjaminj7448]

Always when you think the scary pockets can’t get any better they do! I love you guys the way you are!

[@eyethorn]

Theo is masterful. Great arrangement and musicianship. That bass solo rocks me every time I see this performance. Cheers.

[@HBCrigs]

I'm young enough that this is the first version of this song I've heard lol,, now I love billy joel, thanks guys!

[@willkinney5051]

I read somewhere that Billy Joel's drummer wanted to play this song upbeat, kind of like this cover. Even they told him it was going to be a ballad, he threw his sticks across the room and yelled "I AM NOT A DAMN LOUNGE DRUMMER". Funny enough, the song was still a huge hit, even Barry White covered it!

[@PeterVred]

Surprisingly great interpretation, loved so much about it. Quirky vocal, magically sparse notes, unexpected bass solo with a sweet crash/ride behind it. A lot to like here. Brilliantly devised guys. We can see how much you enjoy playing this one.

[@stealthb0y1]

Don't go changing to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times; I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you? I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are Besteciler: Billy Joel
