VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

[Tom Reschke]

I mean, for me, this is peak Vinnie. He's hitting the piss outta the drums and playing the CRAZIEST SHIT. Just wanted to share this one again. When I saw this as a young pup I was floored, and I still get that jolt today. What a performance.

HELL YEAH !!!
October 14, 1989, that shit changed my life, Vinnie was (for me) doing a Tony's tribute for real, this shit will inspirational forever !!!
Good call Tom, good call brother.

So many mistakes---don't know where to begin. Could not watch beyond a few minutes.

1) I've read many places Vinnie stayed at Berklee School of Music for 2 years, 1974-76, NOT 2 SEMESTERS
2) The Black Page is not written in 21/16..... It is in 4/4 time signature.
3) Vinnie did NOT leave Zappa in 1991 (but 10 yrs earlier)
4) Karizma---NOT Karizuma

Always loved that song.

Yeah, remember this so well. And that fill at 04.32-04-39 Ohhhh man!! So clean!!

[Rodge]

Ahahhaha, the drum solo here is REALLY ridiculous...

[Steve Holmes]

Wow - Ive not heard that one before, That's some untouchable Vinnie level playing throughout. Amazing.

[Steve Holmes]

And by "I've never heard it before" I mean, there's an old youtube comment from me on there.

[Rodge]

Ahahhaa, yep, I saw your comment from 11 months ago.

That baby is from 1991, the sound is still incredible today, not even mentioning Vin's awesomeness, Will Lee on bass, Bob Malach on tenor, Mintzer who wrote that song on bass clarinet, perfect.

Great stuff on that one too, with Russ Ferrante on keys and maybe Robben Ford one guitar.
