umbertino Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Bass player in this track is Jaco Pastorius-RIP...He was deemed for some time as the best electric bass player in the world...Got killed in 1987 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaco_Pastorius I was able to see him in 1986 but not with WR...With 2 unknown musicians from Austria....Still stunning.....
