One of the best concerts I ever attended - didn't realise it was TB on bass. I’ve still got the programme upstairs. Signed by Girlschool, who were the support. Great gig by both acts. Saw GS loads of times, only managed Heep once. I love me some Heep. It’s saying something that TB isn’t even my favourite Heep bassist; that’s the marvellous Gary Thain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re welcome to it if it’s of any use. Also, I learnt Changes a couple of years ago and this You Tube video was a great help as this specific live performance is what we used as a template. I know it’s not in the original key, but it has some great fills in it which are very easy to pick out from the video. Have fun 👍 Oh my! Can't count the times I've heard this song without really listening. Thank you, and the OP for bringing TB to my attention. Wow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 He did some lovely stuff for sure. Lady Grinning Soul is one of my favorite ever basslines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowner Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Bit of a coincidence this... I 'discovered Trevor's bass lines a week ago when I decided to have a noodle at some Bowie. Changes is a really interesting bass line to follow as Bowie's vocals in the verse is slightly freeform and wonder a bit over the groove which is really great to listen to and then he anchors right back into the baseline for the chorus. p.s. nice playing Hiram ....

For me Aladdin Sane is TB’s finest work. It’s possibly my favourite record of all time any road (certainly the one that never strays from being in the top 3) and would be my recommendation to any budding bassist in terms of an album to listen to that inspires. The title track is sheer perfection. And of course he also had those amazing sidies!! Edited November 24, 2018 by Old Man Riva 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
