I found this short clip years ago, and it contains some of my favorite stuff, from VC. While there are plenty of notes, the accents/hits at :11 pretty much define, for me, why this man is more or less untouchable, overall. ....some of the coolest phrasing in 5, I've heard. I loop the first fifteen seconds or so about a dozen times, each time I pull this one up. Props, to whomever recorded this....

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta.
For some reason I never listened carefully to Carl Palmer, I'm not too much 'into' prog rock. When I was watching some ELM video's it reminded me of things Vinnie does. Maybe it is completely by coincidence. I never heard or read anything that suggests VC has been influenced by Carl Palmer.

For fans of Vinnie's Zappa work: someone just uploaded this full concert featuring one Vinnie Colaiuta at 23 years young. Enjoy!
