Those 7 Times Herbie Hancock Went Beast Mode | bernie's bootlegs

[@ronaldkool6109]

Herbie is one of the greatest musicians of all time, but absolutely not because of his 'beast mode' moments. Because of his tone, sound, timing, groove, imagination, feel, overall musicality, openness, diversity, humor and sensibility.

[@mattperko]

Let's be honest...there may only be 7 times when he didn't go beast mode.

[@michaeldean9338]

@ Matt Perko /// lol...True, THAT, Matt! ;)

[@tA_aT287]

Dave Holland ...total beast holding the fort down on #2, #3

[@bradlloyd6261]

Actual Talent 😂 Love ya Herbie!

[@olymoon2008]

I would say, 7 of the times Herbie Hanckok went beast mode. He is such a great musician !!!

[@Votonvot]

Great moments

[@michaelgaboardi9817]

Keith Jarrett would be a good one too. These are awesome my dude

[@royjones3099]

Herbie lives on beast mode ave....beastville..in Beast Nation.....

[@clivelange7879]

man oh man...yes

[@simonduring-nicholson7228]

A night in Tunisia with Art Blakey should be on here..... That was INSANE!!!

[@simonduring-nicholson7228]

[@CrowpeakOz]

Herbie is obviously super great, but the drummer keeping up and his facial expressions are special.... Herbie going so-called beast reminds a bit of Keith Emerson in his prime. Both are/were serious keyboard talents!

[@EWormMusic]

He was pretty beast last night in Perugia.

[@GaxtonOkobah]

Me thinks its the drummer that went Beast mode in #1

[@noblehillministerprophet8689]

Wow

[@RC_Cola2020]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjTkqyAqpdnrrc 14:49 isn't that a Jason Moran song?

[@RC_Cola2020]

Hello old friend

[@ronaldkool6109]

'Beast mode' = muscle playing/testosterone playing/virtuoso playing/fast playing/loud playing. Right? Great parameter of music? Not in the least.

[@Sortirai]

Omar Hakim __manu katche. Love style

[@jiyujizai]

💛😀🌷

[@ronaldkool6109]

'Beast mode' is showing off, right? Showing off has nothing to do with (making) music.

[@ralphnuolo3359]

Where’s the dumbest Herbie’s moments video?

[@ronaldkool6109]

I love Herbie, but 'beast mode' is a stupid and horrific term.

[@jimmckeon1129]

I don't think Herbie has a non-Beast mode

[@josephm1264]

I'd second that, Jim... He's always right there amazing us. Once I heard him and Wayne Shorter... we were all on a vacation in Mexico in a little Resort and there was a lounge with a Hammond Organ in it. Wayne didn't have his sax so he just whistled. But Herbie sat down and turned on the Hammond and just tore up.... it was just a fun impromptu with about 10 of us there to hear and still Herbie... cooked... even though he is not a Hammond player... still a keyboard.

[@sexypoetry]

yes, he is like squirrels in my garden, always dangerous

[@lucasclahar1971]

sexypoetry 😂😂

[@vernellthomas6644]

Jim McKeon I concur with your statement!

[@TRIBESOUND]

damn I thought he'd come up with a new mode called 'beast mode'

[@andregrant4305]

Luca Mohamed thanks for that laugh

[@themaggattack]

Luca Mohamed 😂😂😂😂👌👍

[@mrtyreus0]

ah yissss the beastian mode, or my favorite the far out, octotonic, super beastian mode.

[@liamsmith5013]

Ah, A jazz Joke in its natural habitat

[@RankinBro]

BRUH!!!😂😂😂Ikr

[@sylvielopez2686]

Wonderful music en musicians, the best pianist Monsieur Herbie Hancock tank you very much merci beaucoup pour le partage

[@realbro5548]

All were great, but on #1, Omar was working' those skins!!

[@DJDDT]

RealBro Agreed.

[@One-Bigg-Kydd]

That snare!

[@terrencehoward1300]

You gotta have the players to play with for beast mode. Omar. Dave. John. Wayne. Jack. Brian. Stanley. I'm not surprised. Birds of a feather play together.

[@simonduring-nicholson7228]

Herbie was at his best with THE quartet. Many bass players and drummers can vibe with Herbie, but you'll NEVER get that synergy with ANYONE else, that you'll get with him, Ron Carter and Tony Williams and Wayne Shorter.

[@vernellthomas6644]

I love seeing creativity flow through the hands and feet of these talented musicians

[@JazzVideoGuy]

I'd like to see a video about who you really are, why you do this, and what are your plans for the future.

[@trombonemunroe]

I love that answer!!!

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

Jazz Video Guy 😂😂😂

[@Zaynidin]

Kudos brother. Appreciation & respect from London

[@shemarbean1515]

Spot on response

[@Luckyhat66]

nice

[@jcee6886]

Killer drummer

[@jpgcomposer]

Man, Omar was killing on the first tune.

[@k.d.140]

Omar is flawless.

[@mvdbergrede]

Those seven times Tigran Hamasyan went beast mode, please!

[@BiggyJimbo]

Maarten you mean anytime he sits down at a piano?

[@secrets7301]

His solo on Actual Proof is the definition of beast mode

[@jonasapeland2701]

Great video! Personally I think that not only best Hancock solo but perhaps the best jazz piano solo of all time is Herbies solo on All of You, on Miles Davis live album "My funny valentine" '64. The way he builds up the solo, and breaks it down again, only to build it up yet again. superb. Hancock kind of reminds me of Beethoven. Neither are very known for heart melting beautiful melodies, like Mahler or Bill Evans, but what the way they use music is more focused on rythmics and harmoy. I actually didn't think of that comparisson untill just now! Quite fascinating actually

[@rafaellopessax]

Herbie is always a beast!!! I love the video of Herbie at Montreaux with New Standarts with Brecker, "killin"

[@etionz8741]

man that first one is straight madness

[@masonhmusic]

1:17 to 1:20 his face is priceless😂

[@pletonicsolids]

1:17 - When you were busy jamming and realize you don't remember the next part

[@Jesse_Scoccimarra]

You made me laugh

[@rasecbarravino3490]

Do a 7 times McCoy Tyner beast mode

[@SRC98]

Rasec Barravino It's more like 100 times.

[@miyakawajun9711]

Might be not difficult, Brian Blade Went Beast Mode!

[@ZeAlfredo]

yes!!!

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

Also do a 7 times Oscar Peterson didn't go Beast Mode

[@joeycartwright1692]

they did it :)))

[@tiluriso]

Thanks for the post, Bernie. Herbie IS a beast. But I believe that ultimately, any band is only as good a its drummer. I believe Herbie feel that way too.

[@sexypoetry]

herbie is always in a beastly mode, just like squirrels in my garden

[@lucasclahar1971]

sexypoetry 😂

[@sexypoetry]

@bernie's bootlegs & more ........i am not on your crack, but you should check nevertheless, someone might be on it, cause you look like they don't even ask you when they want it, they just slide in.

[@shabaazranney7283]

Can we get a Thelonious beast mode? of him hitting minor seconds and clusters..... Please?

[@thomas_branson]

Herbie is amazing! Still can't believe I've seen him live

[@crawlFace]

Masterful and beautiful. I first learned about Herbie seeing him on Sesame Street in the 80s.

[@austenklein8004]

7 times I cried.

[@znmaf]

He’s always been ..words can’t describe .Wow!

[@Ted_DiSanti]

Stanley and Omar and grooving so hard in that first clip!!!

[@MrRamonator]

7 times Cory Henry went Beast Mode please, good sir bootleg bernie

[@b00i00d]

and that little rhythmic thang at 0:59 is just the seasoning!...

[@drummerschild6487]

the octaves of Herbie :)

[@ClaudioFilippini]

Definetely #6!

[@Ephraim7Jesus]

there's something about the #4 that I like! So soothing....

[@1958Nate]

Dolphin Dance......

[@freein2339]

I love the way he plays......

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Drummers face @1:18 😂🙌🙌🙌🙌. Like “what the hell Herbie doin’l. Full beast mode!

[@monetenigo4774]

LOVE THIS..JAZZ AND BEYOND

[@Rohme.33]

Happy about your choice for #4! That particular solo arrangement of Dolphin Dance is my favorite!

[@alligator69]

Fantastic! Thanks for the compilation

[@eatablelove]

Out of only 7, i go for the most gruesome beast #5, but then again, they are all very frightening!

[@alansenzaki4148]

INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Saw Herbie last night outdoors at the Zoo Amphitheater in Apple Valley, MN. They tore it up.

[@ercico]

This channel is wonderful many thanks

[@theymightbeuptown882]

Ridiculous... F#*kin' altogether unreal!!! Many, many thanks.

[@douglasgorney]

James Carter will give you a total beast mode highlight reel!

[@danos1011]

james carter is not human i think.. it's unimaginable what that guy can do

[@douglasgorney]

danthesaxophoneman dot com dot au -- I cannot disagree with you, sir. The man is not of this earth.

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

Douglas Gorney I got to see him live last night and play for him at motor city wine in Detroit. James held a high C Sharp (circular breathing) for so long I thought I would die before he stopped.

[@douglasgorney]

Betty-Alexandria that sounds beyond awesome!! Wish I'd have been there. I've seen him two or three times and he always does something that leaves people shaking their heads with disbelief.

[@themaggattack]

Betty-Alexandria Pride Haha! I was just thinking God speed to anyone trying to keep up with Herbie Hancock. That would also apply to James Carter. You must be amazing to even get the chance to play with any of these guys. What instrument to you play?

[@trombonemunroe]

...and these are only the 7 times we know about! A true King.

[@470N41]

1:21 this face of pure joy

[@ReegusReever]

Let's not forget about the incredible musicians playing along with him.

[@obtolga]

Herbie Hancock uses Piano Play. And it's super effective !!

[@alexgreen5064]

no.4 takes it hands down (so to speak) it shows the great man's true range.

[@ractacsquad]

Beast mode on!

[@Chaac-gi5mi]

chet baker. i highly recommend this wonderful artist. thank you.

[@studdabubba2138]

I’m watching this in a nail salon waiting for my mother to get her nails done and laughing so hard that I started crying, thanks for making this bald experience enjoyable

[@brucermorgan]

Number 4 is so great #4 - [7:04] - Dolphin Dance - Lugano / Supertrio in Concert" Recorded live at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano, Switzerland, 1984 Thanks !

[@tiluriso]

I believe that #4 - the solo version of his exquisite classic 'Dolphin Dance', is from the 1983 Wold of Rhythm - Live in Lugano tour he did with Ron Carter and Billy Cobham.

[@alexsalwach5987]

No keyboards or synths? A striking omission

[@Jamaicafunk]

This channel doesn't do electric apparently.

[@DTBass123]

I like that u do these type of videos. Because there are so many vidoes of herbie and other great musicians. But these are hand picked selections that are great. Keep it up

[@agogobell28]

I'd put in his Rhodes solos on "4 AM" and "Actual Proof".

[@wadecottingham]

Outstanding

[@josephm1264]

7? i'm guessing we could easily add another 6993.... to maybe make it an even 7,000... and I'm sure there would still be a lot more. But 7 is a start. Herbie is a Beast pretty much any time he plays. He gives it all...

[@thomasclark405]

shit this guy really kills it... I been on my jazz kick for a year and half now haven't even started listening to this guy yet. my earth science teacher showed me him one morning before I got into jazz I was just turned on by some obscure swedish jazz or Norway or whatever the hell but I was really only into Brubeck at the time. don't get me wrong but he just doesn't swing like these guys can. damn I missed this guy on the upper west side I was there the other night with my bro! we walked by the beacon theater it was over already. gotta catch him again when I move down there for college

[@FrazerGoodman]

Great video thankyou

[@tiluriso]

Love How Sco is totally digging Herbie on #2.

[@soulmach]

Awesome moments thanks for posting!

[@bandicoot5412]

Beyond creative excellence, thank you!

[@laflamme7782]

Missing is concert solo on Solar with Metheny, Holland and DeJohnette - absolutely amazing solo - when he goes into beast mode, you can see Holland and Metheny just laugh in amazement

[@functusian]

He played his &*# off on the New Standard tour. Everyone did.

[@joshuagrant6192]

This is awesome.😎😎😎😎

[@UnholyMessiah555]

Even if he's not my personal favourite (my personal favourite IS George Duke, upon whom Hancock is possibly the biggest influence) I kind of consider Herbie the objective GOAT jazz pianist... he's the Miles of piano, mastering and driving every new era of jazz - bebop, hard bop, post-bop, modal, fusion, right up till the present day. And you're not gonna tell me that Cantaloupe Island solo isn't one of the greatest keyboard solos ever put down. What a fucking lineup too, Shorter is just as much of a legend, Stanley's one of my favourite bassists and that drummer is monstrous!

[@MrSebaduh]

Those 7 times? Herbie is always a beast!

[@lostindigital2546]

#4 My master

[@Jordarr8994]

Chick Corea, Oscar Peterson moments

[@DavisSchulz]

awesome

[@orfeostudio]

#5 !!!! El mejor!!! Sobretodo por el acompañamiento de Al Foster, impresionante!!!

[@AaronSk8Man]

dude you rock !

[@michelepiteo7179]

friggin' insane ha ha

[@gil-evens]

I don't understand how this is beastmode...he's always playing heavy stuff 😂

[@MrTunesaddict]

Herbie propelled his band.

[@ichabedichlieb4745]

#2 man o_O.... and the other solos as well lol haha

[@soulvigilante]

I suppose if you are confined to video, this comp would be tough to top. If we were to expand to audio-only, "Hang Up Your Hangups" from _Flood_ and a particular live version of "Wiggle Waggle" circa 1970 (Bremen?) come to mind off the top of my head. Anyway, love your channel! Thank you for posting all this wonderful rare music!

[@TinSvegovic]

Unbelievable .

[@pgchannel3754]

D drummers n other instrumentalists though😍
