Nick Beggs performing Tava

Even more hyperdrive psychedelic Chapman Stick madness from the BEGGION!!!!!!!! (from space!)

[@tpmh37]

This is gorgeous. I listen to this and it totally relaxes me. I wish there were more of him playing stuff like this.

[@nickbeggs9781]

Thanks for being one of my huge fan ♥️♥️♥️

[@seelenfluesterin]

SOOO wonderfull...he wrote it for his wife...I love it! Nick is a brilliant stick player and a very nice guy!!!

[@wachatalknboutwillis]

Nick Beggs is by far the most talented member of Kajagoogoo!

[@crystalwaters8852]

I got lost in my dream world. thanks for transporting me there!❤

[@popinjaykev]

Such an underated musician - awesome playing!!

[@Rondo2ooo]

popinjaykev Not underrated at all. He plays with the best in progressive rock like Steven Wilson and Steve Hackett. Have seen him live several times, just amazing.

[@jasoncdebussy]

@@Rondo2ooo He is underrated in the sense that hardly anyone has ever heard him - which is a travesty given his talent. Of course those of us in the know rate him highly - very highly indeed.

[@karlb2620]

What a talented gent. I’m really enjoying this. Thanks 😊

[@Kenmarcelis]

What a talented man! From the funky melodic percussion bass-lines in the Kajagoogoo songs till the supurb lounge-jazz... Nick Beggs is amazing. Respect. Ken Marcelis, Belgium

[@theburkett67]

That was gorgeous. I don't know how I have missed this for the last 15 years.

[@DoubleVisionandco]

This is so good it`s soul stirring. Always knew Nick was a master bassist, didn`t know he could do more.

[@AddictFender]

I went to steven wilson's show yesterday ine montreal. It's amazing how you support a band. Everyone breath at the same time as you did. The band and the crowd!

[@ilonabierau2843]

Wonderful, I love Nick Beggs

[@riblets1968]

I only recently found that Beggs is not only super skilled, but astoundingly diverse in his abilities. I sill like Stuart Hamm and all, but this dude is tremendous!

[@doctorwu1]

Wow!!! What a beautiful tune. Has just taken me to somewhere I needed to be in this crappy world! Amazing stuff. Will wear out my PC playing this!!!

[@jonthebeloved6094]

Beautiful. I could listen to this for hours!

[@mrs_devere]

Gorgeous Nick wonderful music.

[@annacisneros9434]

I love it. It sounds really, really, really-good!

[@duracelleke1]

So lovely ,no backings needed ,class act !!

[@evilelf5967]

Could listen to this all day,so relaxing and dreamy.

[@jamesbirkbeck]

Fantastic. Wow.

[@starfleet-verdadero9808]

Simply.............WOW !! Great Nick Beggs !!

[@Byjum]

This is just so cool. I love it.

[@Tortoisech]

Awesome Nick, One of the best Bass/Stick Player around, Cheers!

[@marekmishkov1276]

The beauty of diamond drops falling from the sky

[@Thundergod-]

The only one IMHO who touches Nick on The Chapman Stick is Tony Levin. Both Stick Masters....

[@stephenbailey7676]

brilliant performer.

[@jackster42]

Nick Beggs is one of the better musicians. This instrument he played is also is awesome. Thanks Nick!!!

[@danil3572]

0:30 and 1:36 theme is as found in Steve Vai's Story of Light 2012 album on track Weeping China Girl, can not be coincidence !!!

[@EconAtheist]

"... I swear to FSM if I see another damned Chapman Stick solo come up on the KZbin sideba-WHOA NICK BEGGS"

[@goodnrg285]

I could listen forever 💜

[@lorriemilne]

one word 'AMAZING'

[@liecht]

Great composition&performance.Chapman stick is only for seasoned players.

[@Catdelight]

Nick, you´re one of most talented bass players ever. I think, Kaja and escpecially you were the reason why I started playing bass. Thanks for inspiration!!!

[@nickbeggs9781]

Thanks for being one of my huge fan ♥️♥️

[@Neoclassicalman]

wow simply amazing wow such a beautiful song

[@HomeComingPrisoner]

Ahhhh....That look at the end :p I imagine Ann fell in love with Nick again after listening to this...amazing...

[@k5d2007]

Ah Tava I knew her well :-))....this was a difficult piece to play live and Nick nailed this version...love it

[@paco448]

Two hands,two minds.Genious!

[@Libano603]

i saw him live yesterday with steve hackett. HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrJavierluis]

What a beautiful song... epic

[@clicmusic]

Great Nick!

[@markpenn4831]

Man of many talents ! I mistakenly thought he played bass guitar ? As if that is achievement enough.Beautiful piece of music, quite excellent indeed! Brilliant musician.

[@NeolotusB5G]

Yes he plays bass. After they fired Limahl in the Kajagoogoo days the other band members said they'd get him a Chapman stick if he'd be the front man for the band. And OMG what he did with it on the Turn Your Back On Me track was epic. NO ONE else has ever driven a bass line like that. Ever. (That I know of.)

[@substance1]

Wow, that is an amazing tune. Ever heard of the radio show called "echoes?" This song would be perfect for that show.

[@goddessdivine8957]

Pleasant and really impressively well played

[@nickbeggs9781]

God bless you for your love and support ♥️♥️

[@ChrisCraneSan]

This is just beutiful, such interesting song! Cheers mate, i adore you from this day!

[@seelenfluesterin]

I read it in an interview that Nick wrote it for his wife...I can't tell you more...but however, it is brilliant, isn't it!?!?!

[@rpashoukos]

Beautiful! I have a friend who plays the "stick" but your style is very smooth and laid back... nicely done.

[@huzdra]

I've heard him the last summer,in Todi. An amazing bass-player and a great gentleman. Hope he will return.

[@RussSargeant]

Beautiful stuff, absolutely brilliant.

[@sigbub]

amazing, haven´t any words

[@AdamGrzanka]

Amaizing!!!!!

So lovley!!!

Thank you so much ☺️ Sending you lots of love 💗♥️❤️💕 Where're you from?

[@AwarewolfAlpha]

Wow, Nick how do you progress from the bass to something like that? Awesome sound!

[@soumiaghechami]

That face at the end! Hahaha

[@nickbeggs9781]

God bless you for your love and support ♥️♥️

[@dapur777]

beautiful!

[@turockandar]

@leonakita The funny part is that he is the most down to earth normal bloke you could meet and the clothes just a commercial gimmick but also contain a good does of humour. The reaction to his look tells you more about those who have it and are insecure about their sexuality...in the meantime he lives a straight lifestyle.

[@alessiacorr4256]

bello e bravo!

[@TheFolksinger]

Lovely.

[@Astaroth_Apollyon]

i want one of these.. ! I'm quitar and bass player.. Nice Song!

Where is he now? Get him out there with the STICK!!

[@seelenfluesterin]

Hey K5d...dou you remember me? Germany...?! Well, I'm glad to see him playing this live - it's awesome!!! Greetings to you and your wife!!

[@Hopspop]

I will own a stick, after seeing this I now know.

[@cagonzalez1965]

Though I'm a six string bassist these days, I REALLY like what Nick has done with THIS instrument....will need to own one soon.....

[@vj551]

That's great.What am I supposed to say

[@witness2forYeshua]

Did this ever hit an album ? Would definitely listen to an album of this amazing music :)

[@ravenlocksclp]

This song WASNT for his wife at all. It was for my old roommate. I am sure his wife wasn't that thrilled to have him put this song out at all. I am sure T is flattered though. It is a beautiful song.

[@marliesschroevers3923]

😍

[@pachatsebastien]

super

[@teaflax]

@capriboy2o Beggs just rose in my estimation. Gates of Delirium is one of the finest pieces of music ever made. Also, this is a great song.

[@High_Lord_Of_Terra]

Nick, you the man bro, but what was thaat Kajagoogoo business all about LOL. Only joking. Loved you with Iona, in fact I hear you every time I go in B&Q and poundland ( matthew the man is always being played in them!)

[@mike584]

I still can't believe this guy was in fuckin' Kajagoogoo. This is so good.

[@nathalieconnor5803]

Well it was his band...

[@naoyukisasanami]

Rediscovered him playing chapman stick.I'd like him to colab with Pat metheny

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Filmed on a potato, but sounds great!!

[@mrspester]

After checking out the entry for him on wikipedia I am glad to see his talent is being put to good use. You dont wash your hair with fabric conditioner anymore do you Nick?

[@capriboy2o]

@dmgcat you say that as if the bass riff for too shy is easy or something...try it out. Also, look up "shouldn't do that" Great bassing and singing!! My fave thing bout Nick is that his No1 bassline is "Gates of Delirium" by Yes....Awesome

[@NeolotusB5G]

Wut? Nick doing Yes' Gates of Delirium? Where?

[@capriboy2o]

@@NeolotusB5G he mentioned it in an interview years back. Maybe PROG magazine

[@leonakita]

Gay or not!... the dude has talent.. and that must be respected!

[@tavalover]

my name is tava its kurdish for water fall lol

[@xenigron6237]

That's great but I would prefer him to play funk as he did in KAJAGOOGOO days. His playing was majestic!!!!

[@xenigron6237]

***** "the trends of the time" are still the same since disco-funk is popular with daft punk-bruno mars-chic etc....

[@xenigron6237]

***** "Brit-pop" is a stupid categorization taht include very different music genres. Kajagoogoo is funk and it's alive and well

[@xenigron6237]

***** It's not rick james or gap band or james brown,it's pop-funk and I like it a lot

[@leonakita]

@ridethewhirlwind lol, fair enough...I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and forego judging a book by its cover.

[@weestuburns]

MUZAK.

was this written for his daughter?

[@redarmr]

Is this tune to buy....ANYWHERE?

[@tavalover]

my name is tava LOL

[@Bravemarbles]

:)

[@ravenlocksclp]

It wasnt for his wife. You know him? ask him.

[@leonakita]

@ridethewhirlwind Almost every clip I see of him, hes wearing a skirt, for one, and in some Kajagoogoo videos he kisses other male band memebers on lips. Does that answer your question?
