blues traveler - but anyway, live

[@usmccarr7545]

There you have it folks.... Bobby Sheehan defining how to play bass. Unbelievable bass player. Anyone who knows anything about playing bass will tell you how amazing this performance is. Man, he is sorely missed.

[@Steubenville_PoPo]

Bass? When have you heard a harmonica sound like that? Seriously man that was disrespectful to say the least. Bass?

[@chasec9197]

Legend...

[@hamcheesecola]

@@Steubenville_PoPo Bobby Sheehan is the bass player. The singer/harmonica player is John Popper

[@richc4771]

@@Steubenville_PoPo Disrespectful? What are you talking about? John Popper IS an amazing harmonica player, but there are other amazing musicians in the band, like Bobby Sheehan. This particular performance by him is insanely good. RIP Bobby Sheehan

[@DirkjeA]

@@Steubenville_PoPo What a silly comment. Why couldn't someone give this fantastic bass player a compliment. It's a band you know, not everything is about John Popper, who ofcourse is one of the best harmonica players ever, doesn't mean his fellow band members aren't cool either.

[@philipatoz]

If John had never sung one tune, he would still be famous for playing an absolutely smoking mouth harp! How can one person have so much talent?

[@FrustratedNameSearch]

Man did we loose a great talent when Bobby Sheehan died. It's a crying shame. Best melodic bassist I ever heard.

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

John Popper. The Hendrix of the harmonica.

[@MikeGaul-ps9ux]

Back in the 90s, we serviced John's Jeep when he lived in Quakertown Bucks County, Pa. We got on the subject of Stevie Ray Vaughn, and then Hendrix. John told me how much he loved Hendrix. John was always great to talk with.

[@AdamClaytonWright]

bobby sheehan was such a great bassist, cat grooved like nobody's business

[@MGDeadSpin]

Popper was the flash, but Bobby was the soul of this band. They were never the same after he was gone.

[@FrustratedNameSearch]

You got that right.

[@BangBangBennyBlack]

Nailed it. They are still one of my favorites but they'll never be the same.

[@FrustratedNameSearch]

You know what's really sad is Bobby couldn't buy a damned closeup :(

[@RADIO5150EAS]

Amen dude. I am still a huge fan but they had the magic groove with Bobby.

[@Anglagard1]

They weren't the same after releasing 4. They made their deal with the devil for money, and it showed in the cover of that album. Gone was the increasingly ambitious ideas and the thoughtful lyrics. 4 wasn't terrible, but it did not build upon what had gone before as the other three had. Perhaps Bobby was the soul of the band, which is why he could not abide the direction it had taken. Or perhaps I look too deeply into something that once meant so much to me.

[@dirtybiker2661]

The bass carrys this tune.His tone is amazing.

[@dave83991]

even though his bass is amazing,it would just sound like good bass without the tight fucking ass drummer.and this is coming from a guitarist

[@spatemdim]

good performance. looks like he's using a Hartke and Mesa...no wonder he's got a punchy bass.

[@FrustratedNameSearch]

Sad part is Bobby didn't get camera time even during his solo. This guy had magic fingers on the Bass. RIP Bobby.

[@Pretty_Fly_on_a_White_Guy]

FrustratedNameSearch At least he got to play bass here. Their first Letterman appearance was just John and Chan playing w/WMDB. Second time, Bobby played acoustic guitar 'cause Will Lee wouldn't give it up.

[@SSK-27]

Bass playuer is insane good...love these guys!

[@Jens67]

Great Band! Just saw Kingpin....never heard of these guys! Amazing bassplayer, amazing harmonicaplayer ....what a solo!!!! I'm gonna check them out....Just love this band..!!!

[@zyzzyvavils]

Bobby Sheehan is one of the most underrated bass player in music. Sad he died so early in life. I agree that Popper didn't come ready to preform in this video. The bass line in this song will always be memorable.

[@EatShiteAholes]

this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it...

[@gotallboy]

i come back here now and then just to listen to the bass...

[@xtop23]

Bass player's killin it.

[@MrHeksasens]

Master virtuoso on harmonica...he plays amazing

[@ryanfairchild8260]

The bass player is a badass!

[@boopah4365]

He was..He passed away in 1999....

[@MrBeblis]

Now, that's how one is suppose to play the bass, awesome...

[@Poe397]

+P.o.B pedals Thats how you play the bass,..the guitar,..the drums,...oh,..and the harmonica,...great band...

[@gunz1409]

👍👍👍

[@davelanddesign]

Bobby Sheehan. Great rippin bass player. RIP. Enjoyed the hell out of BT back then

[@tomgeoghegan9173]

Sheehan! Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@versatilejams]

Stevie Wonder and John Popper are my favorite Harmonica players. Stevie is killer on chromatic and popper kills the blues. I didn't realize this song was that old until recently, they really killed it with this track.

[@gaucoin13]

His harmonica solos are absolutely incredible.

[@rich1051414]

They probably exist, but Popper was the first person I ever heard play the harmonica so precise and fast, yet intentional. It doesn't even sound like the harmonica I was used to hearing. Most people hit multiple notes which don't necessarily go together, all sloppily, but it is like popper plays the harmonica like a saxophone.

[@RaiderRSupastar]

You said it .

[@Ogiehill]

Oh how I love blues traveler. Great song and what an harmonica player he is

[@nancycampbell8280]

BELIEVE IT or not The Lord Has a Way to Bless humanity YOU are a Blessing THANK YOU !!!

[@jfitz3133]

About time the 'lord' did something...

[@jimlthor]

That bassist is badass.

[@BarekHalfhand]

I was WS '94 but somehow missed these guys (DOH) ...RIP Bobby.

[@BluesHarpJammin]

He's a harmonica virtuoso, for sure. A true master of the instrument.

[@jamesfroberg3590]

Great bassist. Up there with Jaime from The Cult and Lemmy. Best harmonica I have heard in a while. Takes me back to Junior Wells and George Harmonica Smith. Friend of mine saw them open for The Stones at Soldier Field. He said they laid down a grey set.

[@adammostbeast]

John Popper WRECKS that thing man.

[@nancycampbell8280]

I appreciate this spirit in my LIFE to me Blues Traveler YOU sing about this garden WE live in... SING IT!!! AMEN.

[@VERB65]

One word to sum up this video...these boys rock beyond most band that try to rock. Sorry they rock so awesome I can't count.

[@ToneCaptain]

Love these guys! Always have. Still listen to em frequently.

[@bam220052005]

heard this in one of my favorite movies king pin

[@SSK-27]

I used to play, I had a Vox copy like Paul McCarneys lol. He never stops filling lol!

[@MGDeadSpin]

Great post. When the real Traveler was dancin on the groove layed down by Bobby Sheehan.

[@stevenclark7600]

Love this song,cannot fault the bass, drums,guitar,harmonica,and poppers vocals,all round genius,superb.

[@ExtraRdinery]

That was a BadAss bass player.

[@ibrun5151]

One of my favorite all time songs 😊. Amazing 🤩

[@tamajill]

JOHN rocks this thing it is a known FACT! he is the best harp player in the history of the world he plays like 2 munites straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u go john good luck on ur next consert ill try to make it there (= your fan evan

[@Anglagard1]

A local station played side 1 of their first album at midnight way back in the day. They were on my radar after that and when the same station played the same side again I knew I had to buy the album. It's weird, but knowing there are these kind of people out there doing their thing makes the world seem a more inviting place and encourages you to do your thing as well. I picked up on a scene for the first time in my life, and it was a special part of my life.

[@Matheussen38]

Just an awesome group.

[@zainalak7901]

Kingpin ❤️

[@dmvail1]

goose bumps, goose bumps is all I can say, blues on brothers

[@MrR1D3R]

I love the harmonica utility vest

[@optimuscprime]

I always love this song but anyway...

[@mikehershey384]

90s sound gave so much, life.

[@tomgeoghegan9173]

Awesome!. Chan is Canadian! Brendan, Limey:)

[@SSK-27]

I have been digging into these guys and heard this, dam shame=(

[@Skeletor50588]

unbelievable

[@jerryaldeens3903]

One word: Bobby. Miss ya.

[@dheerajsampath1873]

Legend.

[@missellendiane]

very awesome;))

[@blungazz]

Still a great song! 2013

[@infinitesimalperinfinitum]

Still great in 2023

[@oblak989]

i want to learn play harmonica like this man!

[@bluehazeboy]

Awesome band

[@njkf]

To be honest, almost the entire song is a bass solo. He is probably the most impressive musician during this number, but the TV show doesn't seem to care.

[@1antennaman]

@DeathByBass1 the bassist was Bobby Sheehan may he RIP, great comment !!!

[@patrickpowell6217]

He is impressive. Enjoy the beat. Good rythem.

[@Belseful]

Ohh, I love the harmonica. Damn shame that they didnt turned the screen to the bassplayer when he played. He has an amazing bass tones...well, the whole group is really fun to watch.

[@GipperGirl1972]

then he is even BETTER than I thought he was! ;p

[@elainesouza192]

muy buenosss

[@The1212Fuzzy]

@mrmjg20 no. i was asking what like talk show they played it on.

[@avzeolla]

Super talent

[@thunderdrums.spencer]

Rockin jam with that heavy duty bass playing as far as Popper goes he's funny as fuck on Z-Rock with Z02 !!!

[@albertocarmonaruiz9774]

Sí, el vídeo podría haber sido mejor, pero quizás el cámara no podía acceder con facilidad. No obstante, ha dado pocas imágenes del bajista, que creo es bueno. También hay que comprender que el cantante está espectacular, aunque pienso que el grupo es muy completo. ¡Enhorabuena a "The Blues Traveler".

[@dannyreese3316]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

[@timlamando991]

Sick. Just sick.

[@66kprdwd]

Kingpin sent me here. ;)

[@darrellfolk5284]

John Greene same with me!!!! I just watched it. LOL

[@ChronicTiger1]

@rdety Did he have a 55Gallon drum of popcorn on a dolly?

[@wp85]

@DeathByBass1 one of the cameramen I'm sure got the shot but is the editors fault we didn't see it

[@LawtyBobby]

Bobby was a beast... in the same league as Mingus.

[@rickylee4228]

Jesus Christ, Bobby Sheehan!

[@guidrydale]

BOOM!

[@hamupinhere]

Ah, I really dig the song at this tempo.

[@SSK-27]

I saw Kingpin last night reminded me these guys exist..but anyway lol

[@grungeallday91]

What a fucking bass player. Fucking drugs. Bobby Sheehan, you were a master musician.

[@hamletp]

iconic

[@adammostbeast]

I agree with DeathByBass below me as well. The bass player rips it up and down for the whole song, and he gets minimal camera time.

[@DHLonnie]

Blues will never be a happy form of musical emotion than what the Traveler provides.

[@equinn2434]

Couldn't be more incorrect

[@rmachayes]

Tell me that Hohner Special 20 harp can't walk the dawg in the right hands. Popper is a master of the instrument

[@wallyruiz3864]

que sebado la harmonica!!

[@SSK-27]

Check out the song Sweet Pain here on youtube...best song, the singer just pours his soul out. It will touch you I promise!

[@peterpratsch7223]

We are finding the way. Follow in the footsteps.

[@Emin7]

EXCELLENT SKINSMAN

[@minisy1977]

Rip Bobby xx

[@guitarspideridiot]

I love the way that everyone ignores the insane harmonica song

[@pdt1515]

Little known fact: Popper is also the current World-Wide Cunnilingus Champion...

[@FrustratedNameSearch]

Everyone got their moment on camera during their "in the groove", except Bobby. Typical for Bassists.

[@Maxxxshop]

That's true. Last week he defeated me. But I'll be back!

[@kysuzuki08]

KINGPIN BABY!!!! HEZEKIAH MUNSON!!!

[@Vub.]

JP is the man

[@Hooozyer]

remember hearing this song after a pitcher or two I forget...lost track and being numb at the beauty of it. it's like he watched me for the past semester. shaking hands doesn't really nail it, but I don't hate her. I wasnt' ready for a relationship at the time. I was probably ready for a Gatorade and a nap

[@Hooozyer]

and you look back and say, "Damn, that girl was fine. I fucked up." Purdue 1989.

[@Hooozyer]

I still love this song.

[@nateh5764]

I lost my marbles in the middle of this song somewhere.

[@adammostbeast]

Absolutely. I don't think that even if I spent my life trying I would be able to play or sing as well as him.

[@jeremyleff]

Yeah but in all fairness his solo didn't deviate all that much from the normal bass line he was carrying...a testament to what a great bass player he was.

[@The1212Fuzzy]

Does anyone know what show this was on?

[@MyDannywilson]

ace harp ace band underrated xx

[@ROMAPOWER911]

Best blues ever. It should probably be called "glads" and not blues :)

[@shoeboot55]

eat your heart ut charlie mccoy this dude is good on the harmonica

[@lonelysunnysoul]

Ah, this is the "amish" band of kingpin. Thumbs up

[@shaneweldon]

Good job from the camera man to focus on everyone but the bass player during the bass solo! 🙄

[@tomyost950]

John is so amazing I sometimes wonder if he's part alien

[@Hooozyer]

theme song to meeting somebody special

[@Motormouthmachine]

I agree, it's usually just pure ignorance. Usually the only people that can appreciate a great bass player are other bass players or drummers!

[@Maxxxshop]

Come on. What are we going to do with a rubber hand?

[@gunz1409]

lmaoooo

[@gunz1409]

THE RING

[@vburd62]

dude can damn sure play that harm..he's so fast it almost sounds like the thing has keys.
