Leland Sklar Cam - Inside Out (live 1990)

[@Alun49]

Just watching Sklar's fingers as he plays bass is a wonder to behold. Incredibly fluid and engaging playing. definitely one of the great bass players of all time.

[@michaelr.4878]

He definitely is great. He plays bass...he doesn't try to stand out and play 'lead bass', like a lot of well known 'bass' players do. Even when he does something a little flashy, he still serves the song. Always tastefully.

[@Paul_SD]

Would be nice if he could be heard more clearly imho

[@peteandurnot]

​@Paul_SD listen with headphones and you can hear him clearly

[@felixweber6593]

Lee plays so fluently, so smooth... he never looks at his neck... amazing bass player... Fantastic timing, huge sense of groove and vital support to the music... woaow...

[@captainamerica1797]

SUPER talent ... Fer Sure!!!

[@tguers]

Felix Weber absolutely!!!! The guy oozes groove :)))

[@kdonovan221]

Great summary of his playing

[@BassMecca312]

The name. Leland Sklar. Provided bass parts for over 2000 records. Not to mention, motion picture soundtracks and major tours. Pop,Jazz, Country, rock _ dude is a chameleon. This 5.26m clip is just a prime example of why he's worked for so long. Grooving. Pocket is wonderous. Bass tone is killing. A serious joy to watch. Always in awe of this man. You are absolutely AMAZING brother.

[@metalcavy33]

Yeah but what about the male backup singers drip?

[@RustinRoark]

His channel starting from the pandemic is really cool stuff, I love hearing his stories

The number of records you stated he has played bass on is just a bit low...it's actually over 25,000! I like your comments, though!

[@bobbillings]

As a 40 year fan of Phil and his band, I am so happy to see a whole new young generation of fans here that found and love Leland Sklar and Daryl Stuermer and appreciate them for not only their immense talent, but also their contributions to so many other artists and Phil. Fantastic

[@TVGuy729]

Sklar & Chester Thompson are rock steady! Love the way PC was looking at Chester during some of the drum fills, total approval & admiration from great drummer to great drummer!

[@john8451]

Such a shame they fell out. 😢

Love when Phil smiles at Chester while he’s killing those fills near the end

Daryl (Top Tier Guitarist- plus) is killing it, Chester is right on the groove and Lee has it all locked together. Just absolutely wonderful music from a time that will NEVER be duplicated, ever again!!!

[@warrenosborne6044]

I finally hung up my bass after 52 years full time when covid shut everything down. Leland has a natural approach to not only the melodic structure, but most importantly, the timing. Bass players have 2 jobs, the melodic, and the percussive section. Leland is a true master.

[@sfmarko333]

Groove master. Truly and in every way. Leland is the king.

[@djm4457]

Leland Sklar's playing is so smooth. He is the personification of rock and roll cool....

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Look at his fingers man! Incredible!!

[@ken_wilkens]

Lee sitting in the pocket …. His use of his right hand - playing to fill out the music while up on the neck to keep it subtle. Masterclass.

[@grahambrown5013]

I remember way back when my friend played the three hour VHS video of this amazing concert, it just blew me away. A fantastic band of musicians at their peak. Brings back great memories.

[@ricksundberg5659]

Leland Sklar is so solid in so many songs for so many artists,. His resume is truly unbelievable and unmatched.

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

And a super humble nice guy, I ran into him 1 day when he was walking his cute dogs and told him how much loved his career and yt channel 😊

[@thomasbridges7323]

Hell of a band put together even now 2022 great to watch

[@ArchieBC]

It took half the video to find him, but they eventually did and it shows just how dang good “that guy with the beard” really is!

[@Wheelhousebandetx]

Really great bass players like this are often never really heard isolated so we don’t know how great they are until we can SEE them play. Leland has just amazing technique and touch. Bravo sir!!

[@Whatsitsname21]

One of the best Bassist of all time.. listen to him with all the great for the past 40 yrs..

[@thundersnow93]

The look on Phil's face at 4:53 says it all about how his bandmates are absolutely killing it!

[@Undertheinfluence81]

Leland is so flawless, his playing have so much groove. You should go check his Channel, He is still amazing player and playing all the old song he played on.

[@funnylookingfoetus]

Totally agree. For anyone too lazy, here's a link to his channel :) kzbin.info/door/s5yDeiOgkyRZGZGphlSbIw

That bass player is kick ass in all around the musicianship performances and styles of uniqueness

[@judykarey8150]

Thank you Leland Sklar for your many years strumming your bass guitar and hanging out with Mr. Collins. Awesome collaboration.

[@TaylorTrask]

One of my favorite (and one of the most underrated) Phil Collins songs. So cool seeing it live.

[@blastmastersinc]

Think of it this way....I would give anything to be AS good at ANYTHING as these musicians are with their instruments, it's humbling. I hope people are still marveling at this live performance 100 years from now.

[@lindapearce5699]

Amazing

Never ceases to amaze me. The fluency in how he plays is Extraordinary. Touching..

[@88pynogrl]

So much fun just watching the coolest bass player just clicking with his groove!!! So relaxed and elegant somehow♥️♥️

[@derrickpina5128]

That upper octave hammer on at 3:41 is awesome. Playing in the pocket and adding stuff like that is my favorite aspect of bass.

I hope you’ve checked out Leland’s own KZbin channel. Nearly 900 videos covering all the music that he’s been involved with.

[@lindapearce5699]

Yes!!!

[@JCDrums_13]

After watching numerous video’s of Leland’s playing, I love how deep, and filled with emotion, he gets into the songs. Money can’t buy the experience he has!,,

[@ScottPowersArt]

The suspension on the chorus chords is perfect! Leaves you hanging and locks you into the groove for a bar or two before coming back. So satisfying.

[@kentuckybest]

The music comes from within one's self. It has to be felt when played, its a wonderful feeling that nothing else can compare to. This is a perfect example.

[@shanecabbage2187]

Exactly why I play the bass, I want to feel it when I play... along with all of my neighbors. Joking aside, what a great live gig; these guys are definitely locked up and "in the music."

[@Jerrylumdegaard]

Love that smile Phil gives Chester when he’s banging away there near the end and Stuermer , Sklar just killing it !!

[@AlexGuitarrr]

I love watchin Leland Sklar playing Bass...und can hear and feel the vibes.

[@peterg.bassist]

Chester Thompson...brilliant drummer!

[@peterbondy]

That is sensational. I must share my Leland story. Back then I was a hooked on Phil and Genesis. When Phil toured Aus I would see every Sydney show (don’t remember how many but he almost did a residency 😁) and would sleep out to get great tickets. Pretty much always front row or there about. So after a couple of nights of shows and me in nearly the same seat every night Leland acknowledged me. The only band member to do that (not that I expected or wanted it) by giving me a wave, a smile and a thankyou and applause back to me as I applauded him. It was a moment of real connection between two music lovers. That might sound exaggerated but it wouldn’t have stuck with me all these years if it had been a flippant gesture. He appreciated that the audience is half of what makes a great show.

[@adozensparrows]

Great story, mate! Thank you.

[@adrianstruys5644]

Wow that was a cool Story Good for you Dude being noticed by the coolest in the pack

Far and away one of the best rhythm sections ever, Leland Sklar on bass and Chester Thompson on drums/percussion. These two were locked together as if it was a single person playing both parts. 😎🤘

I can't get over how STUNNING this live performance is! 🤘🤘

[@brunobrasil6128]

the bass solo made all the difference in the music and with the saxophone it was even more beautiful

[@paulrodriguez5958]

Wow the way he just kills that bass at the end is incredible.

[@joelance]

Daryl is such a pro too. The understated power chords, the clean lines in the bridge, the perfectly placed & felt “chicks,” and then, and only when called for, an absolute ripping solo.

[@Racedoc]

Bass player is Leland Sklar. He’s amazing, played on 2,000 albums and toured with everyone. His KZbin channel is great.

[@JonHop1]

Imagine being able to play with a group of Musicians THIS good.... I mean, I dont think Ive ever seen Leland make a mistake live with Phil. And I have watched a lot of their shows. As a drummer and bass player myself, being able to play with musicians of this caliber just gives you so much confidence and eases all of your worries allowing you to play freely.

I think at this point in his career, Leland Sklar had played on over 14,000 major label songs or something. These days, it's like 25k-30k songs. It's so many that nobody, even Sklar, knows the exact number. Dude is about as legendary as a legend can be.
