| Note | Jaco Pastorius Benefit Concert
The Omni Oakland CA January 31, 1988 NTSC Shot from a position left of the stage by a crew member or one of the audience. mr_mags kindly upped the AUD version of this great concert almost exactly 3 years ago. It's still to be found here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=270976&hit=1 Last week I got the incomplete DVD of the very same show.Yes, incomplete, but nevertheless a true gem!!! A brilliant example of the recognition of Jaco's craftmanship and an ode to music in general. I think the money raised that night, was for Jaco's kids: John and Mary, also one of the songtitles. An awful lots of musicians were there, most of which are mentioned below and partly in brackets behind the songtitle) I've taken the liberty to use some of mr_mags info in regard to the songtitles and made some additions myself. T1 (cuts in)Teen Town (Bullock/Miller/Erskine/Alias) T2 Divin'Duck Blues/You Ain't Such A Much (Bullock/Miller/Erskine/Alias) T3 All Blues (Bullock/Miller/Erskine/Alias) T4 Unnamed Tune with "Jean Pierre" and "Peter Gunne Theme" teases 7:29 (Bullock/Miller/Erskine/Alias) T5 Funky Broadway>Third Stone From The Sun>Them Changes(Bullock/Miller/Erskine + Perc)/Stage announcements T6 (cuts in) John & Mary pt I and 2(cuts out)(Brian Melvin Band) (Three Views from a Secret and Invitation missing) T7 (cuts in)Dania(cuts out)(Brian Melvin Band) T8 (cuts in)Fever(Weir,Santana & Band) T9 Fannie Mae (no sound for about 1.30 minutes) (Weir,Santana, Bullock & Band) T10I shot the Sheriff (Weir,Santana, Bullock & Band)/Easy to Slip(just the first few notes) (Weir & Band) T11?

This is from Relix Magazine, Issue 15-02 -- March/April 1988: (mr_mags used it in his liner notes too) Some of the top names in the world of jazz showed up January 31st at The Omni in Oakland, for a benefit for the family of the late jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius. This historic summit was organized by Bay Area jazz drummer Brian Melvin and featured the likes of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, Hiram Bullock, Bob Weir and Little John Chrisley. Melvin's group, Nightfood, served as the house band as the parade of legendary jazz masters took to the stage for Jaco, who was regarded as the most innovative bassist in the world. Miles Davis' bassist Marcus Miller and Weather Reports' Victor Bailey also joined the six hour musical marathon. Bob Weir, who had jammed with Jaco last year when Pastorius was playing with Nightfood in San Francisco, fronted a twelve piece band that included Bullock, Santana, Chrisley and Melvin and rocked out incredible long jam versions of "Fever," "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" and "I Shot the Sheriff." The highlight of the evening though was when Carlos Santana was joined by Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Chester Thompson, Hiram Bullock, Victor Bailey, Marcus Miller, Don Alias, Bob Weir, Michael Carabello and Jose Chepeta Areas for an explosive jam that included "Goodness and Mercy" and "Mandela." Guitarist Hiram Bullock was most impressive, and he and Carlos seemed to be talking to each other via the guitar in a jam session that will be remembered for some time to come. |
