Two of the all time greats on the Old Grey Whistle Test tv show, with an amazing rendition of Stanley Clarke's School Days. I wish the album version (as good as it was) sounded as great as this.

Saw Stanley in Manchester England around last year 2019. I said to my brother "I bet when he gets going the audience will be shocked as to how good, loud and brilliant it will be. " Out comes Stanley, Alembic in hand, plugs in, and with a deft flick of the wrist, gives it the opening bars of Schooldays. At this point around 500 blokes (presumably bass players, certainly musos, all turned around, looked at each other and went......."FAAAAAAAAAAACKIIIIIINNNN HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLL.

Edinburgh, Scotland. 1985. Playhouse theatre. 3000+ seater sold-out show with Stanley Clarke, George Duke, plus special guests like Philip Bailey (doing his "Easy Lover" thing, albeit without Phil Collins). Stanley goes through a great set, then steps up to the mic; "You guys wanna hear Schooldays, right?" We all say "*YEAHHHH!!!!!*" They get into it, and Stanley walks off the stage for his big solo, and stands on a seat in row 4. Me and my friends were in row 6. Stanley Clarke was RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF US, playing the solo to Schooldays. A memory that will make me smile right up to my dying day. :)

His his technical virtuosity is still unmatched. look at the expression on Stanley‘s face when he looks over at one minute on the clock.. he looks at George like dude he just missed an entire lead. He was supposed to continue into a second bar of a lead and looked over at Stanley like I’m done man🤣🤣🤣I guess you have to take it from here🤣🤣 and of course George Duke knocked it right out of the ballpark the man was simply an amazing musician…6:48.. that lead on base is ridiculous..

Makes me wanna go back to the 70’s. I have been playing bass for 13 years now in many different bands and I am 27 years old. when I see these guys, I said to myself: work hard on the bass brother cause if you are a hell of a player, you’re gonna bring JOY and HAPPINESS AND PEACE to the people.
