1: Whilst checking the DVDs at HMV the other day, I came acrross a Jazz sampler from TDK, with some really interesting live stuff on - lots of Billy Cobham, Smitty smith etc, including a track of 'The Band From Utopia' -a Frank Zappa tribute band with, it says on the track listing, Chad Wackerman on drums.It seemed well worth the ?4.99 just to see live stuff well recorded ( the Billy Cobham stuff alone is worth the price of admission).Imagine my complete delight when watching the Uncle Meat track to spy a young Vinnie on drums!!!!!!!I ha d to watch it several times just in case my aged eyes were playing tricks - or in case Chad was doing the ultimate tribute in a black Zildjian vest and huge glasses - but no, I'm convinced it's Vinnie. Now - the interesting thing is that this looks like a clip from an entire concert - once I've tracked this down, I'll post it here.
2. I won from ebay a DVD of a japanese TV broadcast from 1992 - Sadao Wantabe (?)with a great backing band - Will lee, Lenny Castro etc, and a really smoking, on-fire Vinnie!!!!Vinnie's energy on the mostly straight-ahead jazzy fusiony poppy stuff is a real joy to watch - what he does with the straight-ahead 4/4 time stuff is incredible as always, and just one of the reasons we all are in awe of his gift. the man is simply awesome. Now.....before you all start asking...YES..I will copy this and perhaps trade it>..when I get my long-awaited DVD burner..which should be this week...
