The Bernie Worrell guy is a born prodigy, Stevie was fantastic, but Bernies sound was almost tangible I could pluck the notes out of the air and bag it, so eerie, yet so cool!

[@johannesdesilentio1536]

Bernie Worrell: No drums, no vocals, no guitars; best synth player ever. *Soul* til the end.

[@DLHerrod]

You sound like a novice! Best synth player ever......I don't think so

[@joeparton9162]

DavidLeon M.O.G. Sounds like someone missed the mothership....

[@7777Lace]

FAAAACTS

[@7777Lace]

BEST AT HIS SOUND & compared to the other LEGENDS, BW’s flow was TIGHT & ENJOYABLE!!!!! Respect ✊🏽

[@georgemoore5414]

Joe Parton he for sure missed the mothership!! Bernie had a sound of his own. But I will say this Andre Lewis from the group maxayn needs to be herd on the album bail out for fun. 1974 this dude was incredible

[@lifeanddecay]

Bernie worrell is just WRECKING damn

[@wombra8314]

yussss RIP bernie 😨😓 funkiest best EVER 🎛🎹🎛🎚

[@MKNull]

He has the most experience with synths so that's probably why.

[@esmooth919]

Yeah, he killed that shit.

[@juice5430]

This video just put me on to him. He killed it.

[@DBoy0113]

Dam you see them chords he threw in there feels like a funky horror movie

[@justisjones8095]

Love Stevie playing the funky bass line to Boogie On Reggae Woman

[@DeLaDank]

+Justis Jones i was thinkin the same thing! :)

[@JenHansonJenU1Entertainment]

This moog is great for bass and lead.. please peep my moog gear demo!

[@catboyzee]

This is like history repeating itself, considering that these four legends were among the first musicians to use Bob Moog's iconic instruments. Another observation is, playing styles are a lot like fingerprints. Even if you listened to the audio without the video, you could probably figure out who's who. Cool.

[@fryderyk2462]

Bernie takes it to a higher level...such display of funkyness...

[@mrinnervisionz]

R.I.P. Bernie Worrell, thank you for your genius, you will be missed ! 1 of my all time top five keyboard players !

[@wombra8314]

mine too RIP 😓 🎛🎹🎛🎚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻he tore it up, as always

[@boyracer3000]

I just saw/heard him for the first time and he's already my favourite.

[@familytreemusic]

@@boyracer3000 check out his amazing work with parliament, Funkadelic (P-Funk), with Bill Laswell, Talkin Heads etc.

[@LJ7000]

Bernie is on some next level other type playing, always has been

[@sheevamatimbas4300]

And that is the real truth Idrin.

[@soundpainter2590]

madjimms YES, they changed the , " attack" to an immediate setting , also using an additional keyboard. what you think Stevie Wonder can't Jam do you actually not know? And dr. Lonnie Smith shit that guy can absolutely blow your mind let's see you jam with him.

[@JenHansonJenU1Entertainment]

Mr. Reinterpret Cast RIP 🎛🎹🎛🎛🎚😓 bless bernie!!!!

[@jca3183]

Bernie Worrell is killing it !

[@Mafr0]

I got Bernie's part on loop, such a quirky funky jam! Awesome

[@PHASE_4]

Big salute and rip to the legendary Bernie Worrell

[@MrPisster]

Getting to watch Stevie Wonder play live would be just about the most amazing thing. Then also getting to see guy's from P-funk and other funk synth pioneers play OMG.

[@OrganGrindersSwing]

Lonnie Smiths facial expressions are priceless!!! Gotta love all these great really having some fun!

[@linwoodedwardsjr8730]

All these legends were off the chain. I never heard of Dr Lonnie Smith before. I need to find some his music.

[@dennis_johnson]

Linwood Edwards Jr check out the afrodisia album. His work with George Benson and all is amazing!

[@drwood1962]

Back in the day he was Lonnie Liston Smith. Look him up.

[@DannyKavka]

drwood1962 They’re two different people. :) Dr Lonnie Smith is the soul-jazz organist. Lonnie Liston Smith plays Rhodes, led the Cosmic Echoes, and is the originator of Chill-Jazz.

[@MerkTheVillain]

Dr Smith is the MAN. Responsible for the original version of Jay-z Dead President's sample

[@DariusJones]

Linwood Edwards Jr Love Beams

[@mikeofegypt]

Larry Dunn beasted. I can't stop listening to this either. The audio quality on this is insanely pure

[@joneric13]

Bernie's killin' it. Badass.

[@joekarmazyn2825]

0:48 "I want it" *Takes It*

[@benhenze]

Well that explains why its gone in the next shot

[@JenHansonJenU1Entertainment]

I love it! please peep my demo!

[@urfavoritehumanbean879]

He wants it he needs it to make him feel heated

[@juice5430]

My generation needs to respect these guys. They really opened the doors for us and this is true raw talent. Much respect 💯

[@technodrone313]

The best promo video ever made for any product. I come back about once a year to watch this.

[@themarsipan]

Bernie f*****g nailed it! :D

[@acifaxjr]

That was awesome but i couldn't help but notice how many people were ignoring Stevie Wonder. Bahh! I would've loved to be there.

[@verdiam.hampton8184]

I concur!

[@hamfunkproductions622]

+Arnold Cifax Jr I was thinking the same thing!They must think the think the talent comes from the machine rather than The Man:)

[@GraveyarDisciple]

Thats like the first thing I saw. Ill be like wtf.

[@Art-zs6sl]

Yeah I noticed that, and thought to myself what a rare treat to see him toy around with it.

[@happygilmore2100]

It’s not a Stevie wonder show so they might have seen him in other sections trying out other instruments.

[@BigNickEnergy88]

Bernie sounds badass making it sound polyphonic with 2. If only I could afford 2 sub phattys!! Well shit, I cant afford one sub phatty.

[@7thhouserecords437]

Bernie Worrell at the end just sold me on this synth. Thank you Bernie Mr P funk!

[@tcfween]

This video could be titled, "The funkiest men on Earth". I just loved this!

[@uirehuigedkahds]

"Father of acid jazz" That dude looks like he bathes in LSD ...We should hang out.

[@WaitAMinute1989]

Sssh, they did. Talk to Bootsy Collins and he'll give stories of back in the day on how they created their unique sound.

[@danimations80]

Wow, so many living legends putting some great gear to the test. Thanks Moog!

[@defmaster88]

Whomever gave this video a "thumbs down" doesn't appreciate history, art, talent & masterminds.......

[@bencopland9828]

A real gathering of great musicians , eccentrics and analog synths. Love it :)

[@jaymawb]

Ben Copland MOOG

[@dallaswalkeriii1339]

Bernie Worrell,.....Bad dude! I hate he's gone, but glad that he left his unparalleled work for us to enjoy and marvel over! Bad dude!!!

[@XTheSonofTheSunX]

4 legends, playing legendary gear

[@TheCiaMKultra]

All the LEGENDS in one place !! Great footage

[@TonyRedEyes]

Love Stevie's funky bassline sound and also think that Bernie's 80's style disco/Hi-NRG groove is amazing too!!!!!!!! So I guess those two just slayed the other ones!!!!!

[@TheCiaMKultra]

Jay G It is too hard for me to narrow it down to a particular favorite. I just cant get enough of Bernie's sound . I want to study it as though its a language to decipher but not in words.

[@lloydpopp13]

P-funk is in the house!

[@sartoriusrock]

Dr. Lonnie Smith's face after the tech shows him a control (for the filter I think) and he adjusts it and speeds up... 1:00

[@truebetold65]

Friends?..that was Larry Dunn from Earth Wind and Fire..a legend within his own right.

[@flaviomondoro5108]

Very cool! I love Moog's synths played by musicians

[@gabenovski]

oh shit Bernie murdered it.

[@theonecalledvino8165]

Rest in peace B. you always had funny stories and showed me love @ NAMM. It felt empty this year without you!

[@marcfedak]

Awesome post! I really liked Stevie Wonder's spur of the moment prog rock excursion, but the other three guys were great as well. I didn't realize that the Moog was so prominent in mid - late 70s Parliament/Funkadelic.

[@Ponchy]

Bernie is the man! Loved the stuff he did with Praxis and C2B3. Rest his soul.

[@ericthompson9970]

It's great to see all the legends playing the keyboards dr. Lonnie Smith Stevie Wonder Bernie Worrell so on and so forth but no one holds a candle to doctor George Bernard Worrell R I P-FUNK ❤😢🙏

[@anaglog77]

This is the most groove I've ever seen in a product demo! great!!

[@apexone5502]

Hahaha, for real. Usually with those product demos, when the demo guys are playing clavinet sounds or any other sounds used for funk and soul, they're playing generic grooves. This demo had real funk.

[@umphreak6979]

Watching this video for the first time and seeing Bernie Worrell inspired me to buy one of these. Had the opportunity to open for him and due to contract issues we were unable to. Never got to see him live but such an inspiration RIP Bernie

[@Oanjoexterminador]

MY GOD, HOW I LOVE THIS TUNES

[@WitchKingUchiha1]

Bernie at 2:58 is amazing.

[@JenHansonJenU1Entertainment]

I agree!

[@markanthonyhiggins1872]

[@tengoodquestions]

@@markanthonyhiggins1872 lmfao glad im not the only one thinking that

[@gallahad27]

bernie owns it

[@mateuschwarz]

Bernie killed it

[@Ston247]

Bernie "Woo" Worrall was the main musical force of Parliament/Funkadelic. He even wrote stuff for the guitar players. Big Ups, Bernie.

[@AdamBorseti]

Aaah, Bernie! One of the dudes who invented the concept of Synth Bass playing!

[@thesisdrs]

Stevie used Synth Bass before Bernie... Probably the first to do it.

[@ChrisMolyneaux93]

When Stevie Wonder plays, you shut up and listen.

[@yameznonpartisan7557]

such a joyful sound lol

[@ruffiankickloops]

If Roger Troutman was alive today...

[@ryancampbell7720]

ooooohhhh yeah that would go down

[@itsenzo3000]

Oh my he'd be making us dance all over that thang!

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Hey! It's Dr. Lonnie Smith. I saw him play once. What a great night that was. He's amazing. That was epic. All of them, just great musicians.

[@proflogik4110]

So dope seeing the legends on the boards.....excellent vid

[@DaedalEVE]

Bernie Worrell was the one I really liked. @ 2:46 he got into and 3:13 was just awesome.

[@HandHdigital]

this comment is gold

[@Exitstance78]

Funk on Bernie!!

[@davidgo8874]

That was great! RIP Bernie Worrell and Lonnie Smith.

[@DGShackleford]

It's great to hear this synth actually being played as an instrument, rather than the sequenced dance stuff most demos feature. I've not yet decided between this little guy or a Source. If the Sub had more keys, it'd be a no-brainer.

[@Voltor07]

The Sub 37 starts shipping in August. Exact same synth, more knobs, and 37 keys. I've got my order in already. :)

[@Fluxwithit]

thats why they made the sub37 I guess....

[@LorenzoCalgaryRealtor]

Connect a bigger keyboard to it. I believe it can do that.

[@jacksonprinceful]

It could accept an external keyboard to control it. Like an 88 key midi keyboard with weighted keys and all that jazz if you wanted.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

You obviously have no brain if that's your deciding factor! News Flash: you can add any external MIDI keyboard you fancy.

[@1Bounce816]

One of the best sounds ever.

[@nickpelkey]

I'm liking the v formation. Very ergonomic. Very cool that you put this up. I'm especially glad that you got more footage of Bernie Worrell up. I was hoping to see him with the sub phatty since it was announced.

[@warnelivesey]

I am stunned that people in the background are talking and looking at their phoned whilst Stevie' F**king' Wonder is playing right next to them.

[@BivackDC]

what a genius Stevie is, he's not even staring at the synthesizer, surely he's one of a kind

[@mclare71]

BERNIE JUST COSMIC KILLING IT 💫

[@synkuk]

Whoa Bernie .. standout ....

Amazing musicians and playing all around!

[@daniell1923]

Larry Dunn started out funky and went to a nother level and came back to funk. Just a master on the keys.

[@user-ih5zs8hv4d]

I absolutely love the sub bass capabilities of the Phatty.

[@TheOwenValentine]

Loved All of This! I’ve been blessed to work with 2 of these gentlemen. The Woo and Dr.Smith. I also played with the being who inspired all of them ..Sun Ra👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 He was the tester of all the early Moogs 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👽

I've watched this 6 times in a row.... while shopping for little phatty's and little phatty slims. Peace to tha Gawds.

[@thiskingbusiness]

+Stephen Sobers (G) Picked up a sub phatty today, it SLAYS. Trust me, little phattys are about £150/$200 dollars cheaper used on ebay though, but the knobs on the sub phatty, so much expression and control.

[@42burnside42]

well that was an absolute delight

[@flowerpower111]

At first I read: MOOG: thank you for paying. lol Bernie's session was ill!!

[@buttafoco]

I know there’s like 50million Bernie comments but he’s so good I’m compelled to make another one... he’s amazing!
