Getes Romo's DVDs came in the mail on Saturday and I had a chance to glance through them quickly. I can't wait to watch them in depth later! Zombywoof did a great job describing the DVDs so there is not much I could add. I never had the chance to see the Joan Rivers' Show when it was on the air so it is wonderful that there is a resource like Getes Romo's DVDs.
i thought of one more thing....i beleive it's on the first dvd. as you all know, vinnie's hair is shoulder lenght and kind of 'stringy', it just kinda lays there. but there is one of the intros where it doesn't look like him... it definitley sounds like him. they don't zoom in on him, so it's hard to tell. but it looks totally like dave weckl! his hair is....i don't know, like....styled. excatly like weckl's famous mullet. like maybe a a hair dresser on the show styled his (vinnies) hair for this one show. i watched that particular intro 20 times, and it just doesnt look like vinnie. let me know if any of you see the same thing.

getes....i am not blaming YOU for the camera work. i stated clearly that FOX F@#ked it all up showing the girl during vinnies solos. of course, maybe all those letters you sent made a bit if a diference, because they seemed to compromise and try to get them both. still lame though...
Greetings All,
to answer your question: my impression is that is NOT Vinnie (with mullet). I've been watching this footage since 1986 and he is a sub..sounds stiff if you listen closely.
For those who haven't received their copies yet, this sub only appears about two times...a total of 5 seconds.
also...I don't want to take the credit [or blame] for the progressing duration of camera shots of Vinnie. I cannot control that...it's just the nature of the course that the show took.
Believe me, when the camera started going to "Bev, the party tramp" I wrote in every day to each person shown at end of the show listed on the credits, and asked for them to return to zooming in on Vinnie as he played his fill.
But, hopefully, you'll agree that atleast 3 and a half of the discs show Vinnie, and the other one half you hear the genius. That's still a lot of video footage of the Master.
Thanks drummers.
Getes Romo
I thought Chad Wackerman filled in for Vinnie the few times a sub was needed?
Did you see Vinnie wearing his pirate hat on one of the shows. Jimmy Johnson is playing bass, too. Pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure I remember Chad was also the house chair drummer for another [late night?] talk show AW...can't remember the name though; someone in here is bound to remember...as was Will Kennedy, if I remember correctly, i'm pretty sure it was the Wayne Brady Show...Omar was on Sunday Night Live [Sanborn] WAY back, also...anyone remember that?
Those bands had fantastic players, no doubt.
Maybe Vinnie's sub on the JR show was D Logeman [img]wink.gif[/img]

Chad did the Dennis Miller show which Toss Panos took over. Omar did the Late music show hosted by Jools Holland and David Sanborn.
I don't recall seeing Omar at SNL unless he subbed the gig for Chris Parker or Matt Chamberlin or Sean Pelton.
FTR, that was a Pilgrim hat he was wearing, not a pirate hat.

I think the baddest late night player had to have been Chuck Morris on the Arsenio show.
Damn, that guy had chops. I'd like to see some vids of that guy. He shredded like mad.
Look like I owe Getes an apology for impugning his motives. Sorry Getes.
Yeah, that's it; Chad on Dennis' show.
...Re, the Omar/Sanborn thing - Not "SNL," Randy, but a shorter-lived [compared to the others], "Sunday Night-" talk/music show[?]....prob what you were referring to anyway.
Re: Morris, benrand...another fine player. Although, not quite Vince. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ...sorry, just had to say that ;c), but a very fine drummer nonetheless.
Chuck def made that band AW. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]
Wonder what's become of him?

I recieved copies of these DVDs from Getes, gotta say it's very nice to have this stuff on disc. The Halloween show is funny, all the band members dressed in different stuff from the wizard of oz.
As I pointed out to Getes, if had the software/time, it would have been nicer to edit the clips a little cleaner, it appears what he did was run a vcr directly into a set top dvd burner.
Again, all in all it's nice in whatever form to have. props bro [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
alright randy, now maybe you can help figure out who the 'mystery drummer' is on the first dvd. [img]wink.gif[/img] it's all vinnie on dvd #1 except for that one sub....who is he???
which show? How far into the disc?
randy, you'll see him at excatly 42:15 into disc #1
actually, at 55:20 ...that looks like it might be the same guy...nice extended solo
I'm stumped at the 42.00 mark, goes by quick. Kinda looks like Weckl. I have watched both now and don't have a clue, the 2nd one the guy is wearing that hat like the rest of the band.
If he was wearing glasses I would swear it to be Jeff.
<font color="#a62a2a" size="1">[ March 28, 2005 11:19 PM: Message edited by: Randy Walker ]</font>
I like the 52.00 just before Richard Jenni comes on when Vinnie starts going for the splash cymbal
Got my copy today, and will check it out soon. Thanks Getes!

I posed the question to Vinnie about the subs, in a response I'm told that both Chad and Ralph Humphrey subbed for him at times.
My reply back was it does not look like either guy.
hey randy, when you get to....i think it's the 4th disc...you will DEFINITLEY see ralph humphrey subbing. the big trade mark beard. so, i am sure it's not ralph on the first dvd. doesn't look like chad either, the guy is not skinny enough! [img]wink.gif[/img] plus, chad still looks like a little kid, and in 86' he really looked like a little kid! it can't be him.
I remember a sub who definitely had the "Vinnie thing" going and have wondered for years who it was. Not Chad, maybe Humphrey, I'll know when I hear the fill - (I still remember it!). I'm too busy to watch the DVD's. Speaking of which...gotta go.
Just received my DVd pack today [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Getes Romo did a real archivist job for vinnie playing on Joan Rivers show [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] it's a concentrate of vinnie talent !!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
And in DVD 4 you have vinnie playing on Zildjian Day in Dallas 87 !! , i'll post a ssome preview of that for those who still hesitate about this pack [img]wink.gif[/img]
I think it's great that Vinnie's gift for drumming is being spread for many to witness, but to see this as an opportunity to make cash is not the way to go. I won't be posting links, but this set has now been offered on the Virgil forums after only two posts there...Tell me if I'm over-reacting but this ain't right.

WOW!!! I have really been out for awhile I did not realize what the heck was going on. I do not really have a problem with someone taping what is the Joan River's show in essence it is not the Vinnie Colaiuta show, he just happens to be one cog in the wheel and sharing those taping's with the drumming community not withstanding that he at least cover's his cost's.
But to try and MAKE money from it seems a little low for me. The fact that video coverage of Vinnie is in high demand does not make it right. I do not think that Vinnie is getting ripped off(it is not his gig it is River's he is just an employee), like I said he just happens to be there doing his thing with the band, if we look at it that way River's is the one getting ripped off.
I do not even feel right with taping musicians at gig's without their knowledge and SHARING it at no cost simply because it is THEIR gig and they have a right to know what is going on with their material.
On another note, there are guy's on the board who have been extremely generous with their material one way or the other and for that I am very Thankful. They have done it for the sake of helping other musicians and fan's out with no interest of making money in the process. The list of names is too long. But trying to put dough in one's pocket with someone else's work and without their knowledge is flimsy.
By the way I have some RARE! old taping's of the Duke's of Hazzard and Little House on the Prairie, Prime stuff anyone interested?? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

One positive aspect of selling is that it becomes available to those that may not have good footage that would be worthy of a trade. But to join another forum after sales were successful here is what I have a problem with.
Ciao, Getes here:
If one were to begin reading this thread here, one would sense the underlying sentiment was a ubiquitous phenomena.
<center>the Central Point is: ARE YOU HAPPY ?</center>
Are those of you who either traded or paid for the 4 DVDs of Vinnie Colaiuta on the Joan Rivers Show Band <u>glad you did so?</u>
I have received 100% satisfied respnses personally and the correspondences on this website have all been favorable.
Bottom Line is: Some people are happy to pay a small fee for something they really want.
Others seem not able to break from their own mind set..."I wish my convictions would allow me to pay a few $ for this extraordinary footage of Vinnie..."
(again) Trading is over and the only option left is....u know.
Ask yourself:
continued....sorry
Ask Yourself (those who have these VC set now)
Do you now have new VC footage?
Do you have something that lets you see "The Master" up close playing some very exciting music?
Do you feel you received a good deal trading/paying for 4 full DVDs of the greatest drummer ever?
Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?
(Oooops, sorry, that's a presidential line.)
Thanks. Getes Romo

Getes, do you still have the DVDs available?
(I missed this...)
/J-E
How much of the money you have made off this have you sent to Vinnie?
I think the tone now is that the DVD set is being sold at other drum forums. I suppose anyone could do this with any significant boot. I have held true to my convictions by not buying it. Yes, I would love to see it, but once it went on Ebay from Getes, I pulled out. Someone from HOD (assuming Getes first offered here) has tried to pass on to another forum. This will get the ball rolling and being it is still rare, someone could claim they have a rare DVD set of Vinnie almost impossible to attain and sell it for the going market price, ewhatever that might be.
Welcome to the Internet!
I agree Pocket. Some weeks ago it was offered on the Virgil forum, at the person's second post as a member. Say what you want, but it was being sold with the intention to make some extra bucks - that turned me off it as well.
Yes, wanted to see it also, but when it went for sale at E-bay and I heard it was offered at the Virg site, I thought twice. When I e-mailed the guy and asked, he asked me how much I was willing to pay.........end of conversation and then I get an e-mail after asking in here what the going price everyone paid that I should just ask him and keep it out of the forum........Let's see, he came to this forum and tons of talk,but don't ask the going price in here so he can jack the price up. I think the stuff on e=bay eventually went for $40 I think. And it wasn't about him making money I thought,.....
Although I don't dig what Getes is doing selling those videos and haven't seen the videos I do seem to remember a guy by the name of Mike Jochum who used to sub for Vinnie. He did it many times on the Pat Sajak Show and I think that may be the mystery drummer you guys are asking about. He looked like a cross between Vinnie and Weckl. I could ask VC I guess but that might open a conversation I don't want to get into. If you google his name you'll find he is in the same company as allot of those band members at the time.
Getes is cool. His communication is a little confusing. I asked him how much for the DVDs and he responded with how much do you think they are worth. I then saw the post about the E-Bay auction and e-mailed him again about a cost for the DVDs and he charged me I think $20 bucks all in, maybe less, I can't remember for sure. After seeing how much editing work he put into these, I don't have a problem with him asking for a little bread to cover his time and costs. These things probably took a period of days to put together.
Anyway, if any HOD members live in Los Angeles and don't have the 4 DVD's, e-mail me and we can meet and I'll let you borrow mine to copy. Also, I would love to get a copy of the Baked Potato gig Vinnie did with Laboriel, etc. from the traditonal grip video if anyone has it. Peace out.
I'd love to see these DVDs!
