Vinnie on SNL

[rodest]

Anybody else see the old Saturday Night Live rebroadcast from 1984 last night on NBC? It featured Chaka Khan doing 'I Feel For You' and her band included Larry Williams, Jimmy Haslip, and one Mr. Vincent Colaiuta.
It was classic (20 years ago!) Vinnie with longer hair, moustache, big glasses, red Yamaha Recording Customs with power 10 and 12 toms, ride cymbal way up in the air tilted, looking like he's sitting on the floor, etc. etc..
Of course, he threw in a 'Vinnie-ism' at the top of the song where it's just drums and the rap, some sort of displacement on the otherwise straight groove. If you remember the original, it was Steve Ferrone with a heavily processed machine like sound and groove.
Just another example of Vinnie's ability to GROOVE and take a song and lift it to new heights. Sorry I'm not computer savvy enough yet to know how to post it - maybe someone else who caught it could?
