Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Bill Dickens, Oteil Burbridge Bassday 1996 pt1

[@slvrizgold]

This is totally badass musicianship. You could be in the worst depressive state and this would put a big smile on your face!

[@prometheusall6804]

I am speechless. . . . . . . I gotta get back into playing my bass again. . . . this so motivating

[@JimCox1964]

I was THERE! I wired the Bill Dickens bass when I worked for Bill Conklin back in 1994-96. Bill D is a great dude. Confident but never cocky, and a great player!

[@donniecastleman5701]

Agreed, met him, nice guy and stellar player!

[@Sdelacruzm]

What a nice experience !! Congratulations!!

[@Afrosmitty125]

Oteil's scat-on-bass sync is amazing and inspirational

[@Speer82]

Right when you think youre getting good on bass, you watch something like this. lol Awesome players. An inspiration to all musicians alike.

[@Bayani8]

Dude..... i love Victor Wooten....but damn....Bill Dickens is on another fucking planet dude....

[@whykatera81]

The older I get the more I realize Bill Dickens was playing some amazing shit here..

[@williambradley8004]

This was not a Bass Day event .This was Dave pomeroys The day the Bass players took over the world.

[@BlaqcRain]

Yo, look at Oteil's face at 4:07.... that tells you all you need to know about Bill Dickens! ....crazy triple notes

[@voncoolio]

I've been looking for this vid for AGES thx for uploading!

[@458698]

just because they are well know and when they hear them play they wanna hear what they wanna hear.instead of not acknowledging that they are all musicians and not the same and its not about them and what they want to hear they are gonna play what they feel as well as having fun and not trying to out due each other in a solo., and just because it does not sound good to them does not mean it goes for everybody else.

[@bassnboogie]

[@trentmartin2392]

I think I'm most impressed with Steve Baily and Dickens here, as compared to the rest. Can't say I dig the singing.

[@ISIAH_STL]

steve i dont no why he was even there lol

[@singintruckdriver]

stop that who is better bullshit,,,, there is no such thing as competition in real music,,, competition is for beginners,,,, don't u see they are united and having fun,,, enjoy the awesome playing

[@prometheusall6804]

[@rayvega91]

Bill dickens FTW! hehehe nah, I admire him a lot but those 4 are the greatest on bass ^^

[@ISIAH_STL]

right!

[@beltranbass4672]

El buda es el mejor 👍😉

[@trentmartin2392]

Why does Oteil have a King Diamond inlay on his bass fingerboard?

[@williambradley8004]

It's an Egyptian onk.

[@williambradley8004]

Oteil steals the show.

[@BassToTheFaceMan]

I say this to the people who think there's a competition between them (buiderpower see below). They are both very different and if you can't hear that then you're not qualified to give an opinion. I wish I had enough room here to share the whole experience that night but if you seen and heard what I did, there would be know doubt to the arguers that Bill is on different plane then others. There should be no contest between them and there isn't... I shared that FOR THE HATERS. Truth written here.

[@joeldrummer81]

El buda los hizo pedazaos

[@458698]

exactly its funny how they say that bill makes noise with his triplets but Vic does exactly the same with his double thumbing...whats the difference?its still fast.. and all of that.not a competition at all.to me it takes that as there signature move's.cause each time they play slap solos they both never leave that part out in there playing so.to me if they don't like bill the.that's too bad.this is what happens when certain people get ahead them selves and have high expectations for them

[@BlaqcRain]

Theres no difference ... the only "issue" is that you can really distinguish the sounds when Bill plays his triplets in the lower register .. when he plays them in the high register notes though ... wheeeeewwwwww watch out lol

[@ISIAH_STL]

Why vic did not step up to bill dickens

[@williambradley8004]

He was allowing Billy to shine.

[@BlaqcRain]

By the way.... i didnt know Drake played the bass?! lol

[@Drewgonzo11]

everyone got smoked!

[@EarwaveMusic]

Senor de la Cruz, please remove the 2 Videos with Victor and Friends. Soy es Dave Pomeroy, and I own this content and have it for sale through my website. I do not want to report this as a copyright violation. This makes it impossible for me to sell DVDs and pay these musicians royalties. Gracias.

[@Bayani8]

What, really? But Vic looks up to Bill. No reason why the guy should be a hater ya know?

[@smittyboyify]

I have no ideal why that white boy was there,i guess they just wanted another color on stage.

[@EthnHayabusa]

What is wrong with you?

[@ISIAH_STL]

bill is not better that vic vic is more clean and changes notes bill sound sloppy when he was trying to battle

[@BassToTheFaceMan]

Vic can't hang with Bill... I witnessed Bill blow Vic out the building in Nashville at BB Kings in 2006 so bad Vic packed up his bass and didn't even finish the show. He left out the back he was so pissed! Victors ego is as big as Bill's talent and that is HUGE! Steve needs to break his ties with Vic and realize he is talented enough to have a career separate from Vic's shadow.

[@EthnHayabusa]

Nonsense.

[@ISIAH_STL]

BassToTheFaceMan is this true?

[@biga6856]

Fake

[@blakebranchbass]

I don’t believe this at all.

[@BassToTheFaceMan]

This story I shared years ago is what happened. It was a Wooten Brothers jam sponsored by Gibson at summer NAMM in Nashville. None of you have to believe it, but I was there as a guest of Gibson and those playing that night. I even gave the Buddha a ride back to his hotel that night after we stopped at Jack In The Box. I have no reason to lie about any of this. It is what happened. I remember it perfectly.

[@williamlowe7718]

Steve Bailey ruins everything he's on, his intonation is always terrible....
