I thought we might have done it before but I ineptly failed to find it after several searches so there we are ... and anyway I was excited by clip. :)

This week someone send me an excellent download of a PSP concert with Palladino..
I've been studying Pino's style for more than twenty years now and he still amazes me. While listening to the PSP tracks (with several bass-solo's on his fretless) I thought to myself that he's just getting better. It rarely happens but I had to turn it off because I got really depressed. It wasn't so much the technique but just the choice of notes and the lyrical aspect. The nice vibrato, just stay a little longer on the same note, add a nice chord and overall he plays so adventurous while keeping the groove.
He is one of the best bass players ever, sometimes hard to accept for scratching chickens like myself but he is truly blessed.

Hmm... not sure about that. Anyway, thanks for posting.

Gotta love YouTube comments. Here are a couple of gems I saw right away:

Well, I saw the same PSP youtube things before I went to their concert and I expected some musician's trip, dull and boring.
It totally wasn't like that, it was one big groove and every musician just brought the best out of their instruments.
I have never seen Pino play like that before (not with Paul Young, not with Mayer, not with the Who, etc), he got a lot of freedom and he filled it up with incredible pocket-bass work and his fretless was stunning. Don't focus on the youtube stuff, live it was something completely different.
But I dont need to be convinced anymore... :-)

I visited this concert (check from 1'50")
