I DO NOT OWN THIS VIDEO Jimmy Page & Jaco Pastorius: April 30, 1985 - The Lone Star Café, New York City, NY, USA ... The Band: Jaco Pastorius (bass, vocal, keyboard), Jimmy Page (lead guitar), Kenny Gwyn (guitar), Scott Brown (keyboard), Chris Slade (drums), Jerry Gonzalez (tp, perc) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info from jimmypage.com - 'On This Day' for April 30 ON THIS DAY ... 30 APR 1985 I WENT TO SEE JACO PASTORIUS AT THE LONE STAR CAFÉ IN NEW YORK Jaco was accompanied by a drummer he’d accessed from the The Village Voice Musician’s Column. Needless to say, this drummer from the small ads was having a bit of a problem keeping up with the powerhouse Jaco Pastorius, who was illustrating the complete textbook to the various approaches of electric bass. Jaco invited me up and I had a jam with him but more importantly, Chris Slade, The Firm’s drummer also got up to jam, relegating the current drummer to a table in the club. After about four numbers, I returned to our table to witness a tremendous synergy and understanding of Jaco’s playing from Chris who remained for the rest of the set. That night I got to understand what an experienced and passionate drummer Chris Slade could be. And also what a monster of a player Jaco Pastorius was.
