My dad and I found this one through our mutual love of Clarke / Duke, we both loved that tight, kinda cat like meow from George during the opening of the solo, so so good. RIP dad and RIP George Duke

Both master musicians

Edinburgh, Scotland. 1985. Playhouse theatre. 3000+ seater sold-out show with Stanley Clarke, George Duke, plus special guests like Philip Bailey (doing his "Easy Lover" thing, albeit without Phil Collins). Stanley goes through a great set, then steps up to the mic; "You guys wanna hear Schooldays, right?" We all say "*YEAHHHH!!!!!*" They get into it, and Stanley walks off the stage for his big solo, and stands on a seat in row 4. Me and my friends were in row 6. Stanley Clarke was RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF US, playing the solo to Schooldays. A memory that will make me smile right up to my dying day. :)

This is REAL music. Unlike the CRAP music they play today….

Saw Stanley in Manchester England around last year 2019. I said to my brother "I bet when he gets going the audience will be shocked as to how good, loud and brilliant it will be. " Out comes Stanley, Alembic in hand, plugs in, and with a deft flick of the wrist, gives it the opening bars of Schooldays. At this point around 500 blokes (presumably bass players, certainly musos, all turned around, looked at each other and went......."FAAAAAAAAAAACKIIIIIINNNN HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLL. All with joy, happiness and admiration.

This is Jazz!! The stuff I grew up on as a kid....Coltrane was "Before My Time..." No disrespect to the straight ahead lovers, but this is me....this is home.

Can I just say this is one of my all time FAVORITE versions of any song ever played. I know thats a stretch but man they absolutely were grooving on this one!

Stanley and George. I met them after a concert at Star World in Indiana in the late 80s or in 1990. They were fantastic, gracious and cool. These are the real musical artists. I am so impressed with this Grey Whistle Test live performance as compared with the studio version of School Days, I love both versions but am really drawn to this one.

Well , let's listen this music and sound, no words , is great , great , so great.

I loved him when I was 17 and now I love him at 65 and I’m still amazed. His his technical virtuosity is still unmatched. look at the expression on Stanley‘s face when he looks over at one minute on the clock.. he looks at George like dude he just missed an entire lead. He was supposed to continue into a second bar of a lead and looked over at Stanley like I’m done man🤣🤣🤣I guess you have to take it from here🤣🤣 and of course George Duke knocked it right out of the ballpark the man was simply an amazing musician…6:48.. that lead on base is ridiculous..

Think of a place where you can discover musical performances that you never knew existed, but when you read who is in the clips your curiosity makes you check them out and you get your MIND BLOWN and consistently find new sources of joy posted by people who dig it and have been digging it for years and are sharing it with the world by putting these performances in this place for everyone to discover anew or relive the joy. You have just thought of KZread, and this clip is my latest discovery.

Oh my, my. Mental time machine. Saw Stanley in ‘78 at a college in Ohio. What a show !! His upright bass must tremble in fear when Stanley reaches for it.

This and Edgar Winter Frankenstein on the Old Grey Whistle Test are what today's so called performers should be shown if they want to see the meaning of the words true musicians. Brilliant performance.

Takes me to school in so many ways... ...Clarke's been MY "ace of bass" ever since Vulcan Princess days... ...and this clip is just amazing by both principals....

Really cool guy and mega talented love this album so good to hear a bass as a lead instrument him and Chris Squire awesome guys on bass, along with many more in the day

I never get tired of this . Its classic , yet still sounds new.

Medicine for the soul ....what would we do without music

After years of playing guitar, someone turned me onto Stanley Clarke and it changed the way I played guitar.

I got see this Dynamic Duo in Indy at an outdoor concert , just a scant couple of months before Duke's passing.

I never get tired of watching this. Absolute craftsmen at work!

This is what i call Music when you Can feel the song in your soul

Their faces at 3:00 really sums it up...Pure musical bliss.

Just played this on BBC 6 music on the Radcliffe and Maconie show, absolutely the best jazz funk music ever from these musical artisans! RIP Mr Duke

Wow this is back in the day…I love it…when we were young. Stanley and George having FUN!

man that was great ❤❤❤ brings me back to my youth 😂😂😂

Clarke & Duke are having an absolute blast playing here together. What a great session👍🏼😎👏🏽👏🏽👋

Stanley and George together,,wow

Just can up on this one of the first jazz fusion artists I started listening too Stanley Clarke I still have the Cassette Tape 😂

Just pure bliss I first heard this great artist with George Duke late 1970’s and brought a lot of their tape cassettes and thrashed them to death in my brother’s ghetto blaster lol

Remember listening to Stanley Clarke all those years ago. In my opinion still the greatest bass player.

I sure do miss George

Heaven just got that much funkier. Rest in peace, Big Daddy, the late, great George Duke. Thank you for the love, spirit and brilliant talent that brought joy and so much more to this planet. I, for one, will miss you so and you have truly been a star player in the soundtrack of my life.

I wish there was a way to double like a video. This is so dope.

Duke and Stanley WOW you do not get any better,open your eyes musos this is it, you are looking at the gods, forever

The afros were in! Love this jam!

Remember seeing this tour at Hofstra University in NY back in 1981 (David Sancious and Ernest Carter opened the show). We had 8th row center aisle seats and George came up the aisle during his solo. I high fived him and he stuck his keyboard out so my friend Willie Woodall could touch the keys. What a GREAT show and night that was!

Pretty much when you see George Duke @ 0:07 you know STRAIGHT UP this will be one of the best videos you have ever seen. THANKS FOR POSTING! RIP George "DUKEY STICK" Duke.

I saw this tour, they let me and other in the audience come on stage and play their instruments!

Seeing these two amazing musicians big ole grins is the kind of heart warming shit we could all use.

Absolutely wore this and East river drive lps out, and overheated a couple of voice coils out

Saw Stanley on letterman show Went out next day n bought a bass .. incredible influence

There is no denying how adorable Duke is beginning @ 2:24 and he so subtle and then lays into a frenzied jam, whew, I miss George.

One word ... class.

Saw Clarke Duke project tour at Savoy …NYC…Great show… Dukey was great this clip here is obviously from Board

I saw him at the Capitol theater in Passaic N.J. The stand up bass came down on strings and, he played it like a regular bass.. Those were the day's....

Classic Bass from the legend of bass nobody can pluck those strings like Stanley Clarke

Merci pour cette mise en ligne!, c'est la première fois que je vois ce concert!

Legend George,never forget watching this live back on the OGWT I was stunned by the brilliance,RIP Mr Duke.............

two great guys having a blast playing music. Awesome

Saw him live 1976 academy of music Philadelphia unbelievable front row seats can remember it like it was yesterday

This video has driven me to buy every Stanley Clarke and George Duke vinyl I see. No regrets.

If you're feeling funky, this will rock your socks off...bravo

George will be missed. New album is very good. Him and his wife are together in heaven, probably jamming with the angels.

TWO OF THE VERY BEST EVER, THANK U FOR THE YEARS OF GREATNESS. GOD BLESS. PEACE & LOVE. ZULU KING.

Ending on such a high note...didnt want it to stop...saw Clarke in Vancouver around 2010 it was awesome!

Absolutely world champions

Excellent.

These guys had such great chemistry

That main riff just makes you wanna get down and BANG.

Such a great combination. One of my favourite tracks, too.

When I was 10 yrs old, my uncle played this (& level42 a couple of years later) - never forgot George Duke & Stanley Clarke🙏🙌
