I saw him on that tour in Boston. Jeff gets the best people in his bands. Saw Vinnie Calaiuta (he's kinda cool, kinda wow) with Zappa almost 40 years ago. Good for him to be playing with someone like Jeff, he certainly has the skills for the job.

Gotta love them Catholic boys- Warren Cucurollo ( I'm sure that's not how he spells it)

Frank was the best, speaking frankly of course.
 
Nice seats,
Close enough to get the hair dye on ya.

I envy you sir, sound wasn't good, but still. Beck in the sixth row!

He does just have the four fingers and thumb right? Never known anyone with that good of seats for Jeff B to verify.

I admire his constant search for music, he's a chameleon with the Strat.

He just played with his fingers no pick, and he just had 1 boost pedal which he used on 1 song.
The rest of it was straight into 2X Marshall 50 amps without a bunch of effects.
One cabinet was turned around and the other cab was facing out (that's the cab that ripped my ears off).
But if I covered my ears, the sound was much better. Should have had ear plugs.
 
As I watched the video Adrian posted, I noticed quite a few you tubers complained a bit that Scott did not include Janice Marie Johnson from Taste Of Honey in his list. No sense complain, just say HEY, we think JMJ is a pretty fine bass player and deserves mention as well as examples of her fine musicianship.

Anyhow, here are a few examples. Now I know it isn't the manly Rock and Roll, Metal mania I also like, but I have to admit, if I was her age back then, I'd have HIT THAT!!!! HAHA

 
I met Amanda Daniels when she toured Australia with Enabler, and shook her tiny hand ... she is very petite, a fact that made what was happening behind the scenes even more shocking to me when the story came out. She seemed like a lovely person and that dude was easily twice her size.

In her first-ever interview, Daniels talks about what really happened during her time in hardcore band Enabler, and what her next step will be.

video unavailable... over and over...

aye weel... no one had mentioned Suzy Quatrro... or shown any videos of Paz. (who might be my fav...)
But prolly Tal is my fave. I have posted photos of her on any given thread where guys were complaining
about the neck on their new guitar.

Guys love to complain about the shapes of the necks on their new guitars that they spent
too much money buying but never played to make sure their hand would allow it...
IMHO it's especially self taught guitarists who
make these kinds of posts. Anyone who's had a proper teacher would know to keep his thumb
behind the neck, making the shape of the neck irrelevant to his musical expression.
...and freeing his left hand for advanced work. Watch Tal Wilkenfeld prove this.

If you watch Tal Wilkenfeld play, you can see right away that the human hand can play any
instrument from a double bass to a mandolin...with NO PROBLEMS...
She's a small woman playing a full size Fender Bass. ...And she plays like a champ.
So don't talk to me about how the neck on your new guitar is a couple of millimeters too
thick, or a couple of millimeters too thin. Just watch someone who knows what they are
doing, and learn something.

Do I sound snarky? I don't like thinking so. But posts come up over and over about how the
neck on this year class of guitar is not like the neck on some other year class, and about how
hard that is to get over. Myself, I have taught a number of lovely young aspirants how to play
bass with never a thought for the shape of the neck. I show them the function of the thumb
as a pivot, and then they know they can play a 34" scale with no worries about the size of
their beautiful hands. Watch Tal Wilkenfeld as confirmation of this. It's all heart, and soul...
the shape of the neck and the size of your hand are only small influences on the tone and
the shape of the performance.
