About why there’s no sound from Verdine White, my opinion is, there’s some problems on his signal chain that day, and maybe he just don’t want to waste the time to figure out what’s going on on his signal chain(It was a busy, tight schedule and complicated stage situation live), so maybe he just tried to played it without amplified.

Ray-Lin Chang come on really??? You really believe that? He’s acting as a bassplayer, bit when it comes down to real exposure, suddenly No volume, Or when you look at his namm demo’s...What is he doing??? He is not real man!

Man you gotta be kidding me. There was no issue with the signal chain? He turned down on purpose. Lamest excuse ever. No bass player does that. You swap cables, etc until you are heard.

OMG the God's of bass together.

Old school funk. Those brothers are keeping the alive.

60s, 70s, 80s...3 generations of funky bass... GROOVY

What the ef? Had to put my beer down...Three legends throwin' down. The roof was on fire this night.

Oh my gosh, I've died and gone to bass heaven!

BASS LEGENDS!!!!!, NOTHING BETTER!!!!!!

First time ever seeing this, wow! The funk legends!

Pioneers Crown Them All 👊🏾👊🏾

RIP Mark Adams,,, The GOAT

3 icons of funk and soul right here now...

Groove...."interlocking between rhythm section"..outstanding bass player 3 of them....

12 minuts of history right there. 3 bassmasters what a fantastic-funky jam

3 Legends... Don't get much better than that!

Three generations of bass, Marcus grew up listening to Larry G. and Verdine!

I'm bowing down to the bass masters. Grew up with these beasts of bass. I loved playing along with them.

That's real music played by musicians!

Bass personified. It don't get any better than this. Pure Funk!!!

For those saying that can not hear Verdine, look at where his hands are placed and watch Marcus when they play Shining Star. You can clearly hear both (Marcus was lower on Shining Star). He is playing at the lower register once his sound came on. It was not on or very low at the beginning

Larry is very down to earth and not arrogant. I've met him several times. Always nice!

July 25: Happy birthday bassist Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the post. Blessings

O...M...F...G...this will keep me going for at least...all of time...only forever. People, look at my brothers!...no ego, pure energy, pure essence, spirit...this is 'just' music, but who knows what we accomplished long before our history was purposely stolen and hidden...worth finding out! Oh, that we could have been left alone!... Back to this funk...at 4.00, do you see any conflict here? Only togetherness, only brotherhood. THIS right here is our true state. Calling all True Funk Soldiers...

Right on My People

I've decided to put this on my Alarm clock. Yessir, buddy!

I’m reading a few people say negative things about Verdine White! EWF ALWAYS have had a STRONG groove because Verdine grooved so deeply. I know some people think that being a good musician means that a cat has to play in a flashy way or chop it up. What truely matters is what sells records/music and that is simply the pocket and groove. Verdine is a great example of how holding a steady groove will sell records, sell concert tickets, make people dance and nod their heads. I got no problem with him personally. 🎸

@FunkRockGroove

The problem is, Verdine doesn’t play REAL! Who says he is the recording artist on all the EWF records? Where is the proof? If you watch him doing demos at NAMM...you’ll doubt him yourself. I’ve seen him faking it on stage. Playing under a track, or where Morris Pleasure was Actually playing in the back. Verdine is fake. Do some research on KZread.

@FunkRockGroove

Nanjimoy Al Kursi FRAUDINE White doesn’t play real. Lot’s of proof on KZread where you can doubt Verdine on bass. Even recently, January, where EW&F played at the Prince Tribute at the Grammy’s. There he was again, FRAUDINE seeking the attention, but again, he didn’t play real cause his hands movement weren’t correct with the bassline. Matter of fact, the band was playing in the back...WITH a bassplayer playing the actual bassline.

So great to see all the "expert" critiques of these legends! If you played at all, you'd appreciate what each of these guys has meant to the evolution of instrument over the last 30 years. If you're "trying" to play and haven't made to these guys level, keep your jealousies to yourself and either listen or take your shallow comments elsewhere. Thanks for the once-in-a-lifetime post...

Some awesome groove there. All three great bassists. I've been listening to Verdine White since I was a kid in high school back in the 70s. Amazing. I'm a drummer, really into prog, but my dream gig would be playing this stuff. The groove is epic.

He's just holding it down. Three people going nuts would be too much for the ears. He doesn't even play slap which is good for him the other two are masters at it but they could probably never wrote a song like Verdine could. They are masters at what they do. It's a not a competition just a bit of back patting and crowd pleasing. Chill out man the Sun is shining.

Отличное трио басистов!

Wow...three of my favorites

Wow awesome!!!

History in the making.With some the greatest.

Kept waiting for Prince to walk out and get him a piece...lol!

While there is no mistaking that Larry Graham is the father of Thumping (Slap Bass) and Marcus Miller is the new reigning Prince, I find it interesting and incredible when Verdine White suddenly comes alive and hits that "Serpentine Fire" bass lick around minute 9:50 of this video. LOL I've been a Larry Graham fan since he first started and I remember buying Marcus Miller's first album and thinking I was better than him (boy, was I stupid), but when it comes down to it for all of us bass players, NO ONE will ever have the stage presence and legacy of hits that Verdine White has. He is simply a BEAST on stage and those Earth, Wind & Fire bass lines are UNTOUCHABLE.

Larry Graham is the man! You know he was feelin nice that night too! Lmao

“Shining star for you to see… What your life can truly be!”

nice groove man!

Amazing 🤟🤙🎸

Yeah that was Larry Graham, one of the baddest bassist in the world.

Love me some bass players!
