I did not know some of that preceding info, guys.

thanks, randy. what happened to him? he was great! just great groove and perfect parts. he owned it!
he was doing some studio stuff, he was involved with doing 'overdubs' for some Hendrix stuff before the family took over and put a stop to it and regained control. Bruce was just the studio guy in all fairness to the situation.
Shedder, thanks a lot for doing these, and obviously a big thanks to Getes Romo for making the footage available to begin with.
Outstanding playing as always from Vinnie.
Yes, great clips - I remember watching the show back in the late 80's and trying to tape these same intros. Just a little off topic, does anyone know who the bass player is in clip 5 and the bass player in clips 12 and 14? I can recognize Jimmy Johnson and Abe Laboriel but I'm not placing these other 2.
Another off topic: speaking of late night talk shows, you guys remember Herman Mathews with Rick Dees, Chad Wackerman (and Toss Panos) with Dennis Miller, Andy Newmark with David Brenner, Jeff Watts with Jay Leno, etc.,etc.
Hi, Getes Here:
I'm glad everyone likes the DVDs. I haven't seen anyone mention the 'so perfect' fill he did backing the singer in the four bar fill/solo Vinnie took. One of my favorite things he did on the show. Authority...time...feel...it's all there. I'll try to reference the time track and write back so you can queue it up.
I trust you all saw my 16" calfhide head with autographs? Anyone know how I can get it to Modern Drummer so they can include it in an issue. I think it's more interesting than some of those 'unique' drumsets in back.
Finally, if anyone still wants a Colaiuta set of the DVDs, feel free to email me directly at

Thanks,
Getes Romo
Who is the MD with the beard that's conducting the band and what's he up to now? He seems like a fun guy and lots of energy too!
Shedder,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
We MUST have an HOD hang SOON. BBQ and double/triple drumming at my house. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I think clip 9 is my favorite. Reminds me of Tony Williams doing all those 3, 5, 7 combos!
