I remember turning on a lot of people to A Go-Go. Everyone loved it! 👍

The bass playing is just absolutely slammin'!!!

Johns phrasing and timing + the 3 boys never gets old for me.

Sco just cruises around, playin' here, playin' there, groovin' with this cat, groovin' with that cat, jamming with dem n' jammin' with doze. What a life....

A hofner bass being used for other genres of music? What a time to be alive.

IM FUCKING BACK AFTER 12 YEARS

Takes me back to some of my favorite years of live music

scofield is one of the all time great guitarists - no doubt

The entire A Go Go album which originally contains this song is just about the most funky jazz album ever recorded. So professionel musicians just having a blast. Great video, thanks for uploading! Been looking for Scofield playing songs from that album live for a long time :-)

A Go GO is one of my favorite albums of all time, every friggn song is a gem. Sco is just so unique, and I think MMW are all such a perfect compliment to each other.

It's good I played it a lot over the coarse of a year. But check out Ivan "Boogaloo" Jones then come back and talk to me about funky.

I am salivating out of my ears 😂

Scho MEANS every note. I'm lovin. Who needs drugs when there's music like this to expand your mind?

Think my brain just successfully divided by zero, man. Right there at the Peak Of Funk.

What I have always loved about John, is his ability to squeeze fast notes in at the last millisecond, just after a long pastoral jazz line.

Tyler Thompson jazz lines that you play while tending your flocks of sheep in the countryside. How do you not know that?

16 years ago? Damn I am feeling old. Loved this off the album

Those descending sevenths at the end with Sco's squeaky soloing on top are just... pure magic.

What A Groove! John Do More With Medeski Martin & Wood! Peace & Love! WooF!

Met Medeski at Heathrow airport - thoroughly nice chap , happy to chat, easy going and approachable .Great musician without being stuck up - what more can one ask for .

Medeski looks like a younger Jason Statham. "Three songs, 254 notes-*that* was the deal."

one of the better projects, ever.

The amount of fun they must be having over this tune would be incredible

Love Scofields' sandals! Rock ON!

Incredibly funky. This must be one of the best jazzvids i've seen. No, the best. Period.

I wish these guys would play together more - I love to listen to sco and medeski. I met sco after a show he played here, seemed like a down to earth guy. I appreciate his talent more since he is not a prick.

Yes. I would listen if it were 45. Hell, I've seen these guys play a show where they didn't stop for the entire set. Good music never needs to end

I do not think that more badass music exists than this

these guys can groove, that's for sure

Love watching Medeski play. All those guys are groovin' tough. Extremely sweet.

This music twists my insides into funky shapes.

Such utter tastiness! Sco and whole band are great!

What a maestro! Sco's improvisational skills are unmatched; Medeski adds some nice fuel to the jam here as well. Masterful performance.

the bassline and melody towards the end is killer!

I love this song. I wish they did more then the two albums.

0:15 the one time Scofield plays a chord that humans will recognize

Billy Martin is by far one of the most funkiest drummers out there. And so creative. And there's so many drummers out there trying to sound like him. This clip is a wonderful example of that. Love it!

Damn, John Scofield has some skills, i really like his style of guitar sound.

Fantastic tune!!! You just can't sit still on this one! Scofield with Medeski Martin & Wood make a great combination! Thanks so much for posting!

Saw them live last night. They spoke to the audience briefly. Someone called out, "Thanks for the two minutes"! Guess they don't talk much? Great show.Lots of dancing going on.

This is got to be the best musical performance I've ever seen...

this makes me even more excited to be seeing them live in a month.

I got to hear them play this live on the tour for A Go Go with Clyde Stubblefield filling in for Billy Martin. Watching this brings back memories of how exciting that show was. This also brought back a memory of one afternoon the summer the album came out when I was driving with my windows down listening to the finale to Boozer at a somewhat unhealthy volume. A women in her 70s pulled up at the traffic light next to me and leaned over and said "Nice jazz!". I don't know where she is now but that comment made my day.

Perfect! With the Cold Sweat bass line that'd be ideal!

Jeez that is some unbelievable drumming. The symbol work is bonkers

So incredibly bad ass

medeski's solos are amazing

I was there and I still remember..:) North Sea Jazz festival would still program some proper jazz and funk .....

I've never seen anyone choose a Hofner bass for playing Fusion, but, sounds lovely.

@RocknJazzer

that's cuz it's not quite fusion, they are going for a older jazz funk sound that came before fusion, and the hofner fits right in perfectly for that.

@@possibly8180 That's cool, tho it doesnt sound like a hollowbody much being so small a body, I have tried many hollow and semi hollow basses to try and get a more upright tone, including fretless ones and acoustic bass guitars and stick type uprights w no body but seems nothing can get close enough to a regular fullsize upright. If you know of anything let me know. regular uprights are too hard for me to play, Im a guitarist so need something more like an electric bass scale playability, but going for upright sound

These two were meant to play together.. It's a match made in heaven as far as music goes! MM&W are amazing and with the Gutiar God Scofield its absolutely the best combo...

thanks a lot volvo40 4 sending these wonderful videos.they are all geniuses.thanks again.cheers...

Yea.. this song, and many like it are on that album.. a go go ... it is my favorite 'jazz' album in the last decade... maybe favorite album total in the last decade...

The "Beatle" bass IS funky as hell!

6:05 Billy Martin = Genius!

JAZZ IS, WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

I swear that's Jaco playing the cold sweat line ;) MMW killing it for so long, fkn amazing great vid and audio, thx for posting

whoa that's some fresh smooth funky stuff here!:)

This might go on forever. Very funky.

...one of their best performance, and people sitting quiet?!!!?!?!?! man a love jazz too, but besides the labels, when music is good is good and those guys are great... thanks for sharing

I couldn't in my life imagine going to a concert and sitting.

So glad I will see them as well at the Blue Note festival in Gent (Brussels) on Wednesday 11/07/07

I would give one of my toes for a recording of this show since it was AMAZING!

Sweet! Thanks for adding this. I've had an audio version of this same take for 4 years, so it was great to actually see it. For the record it is spelled "Chank".

Funky as they wanna be !!!!!!!!

Killing it.

augh amazing....thank you msmw.

one of the best organ solos i v ever heard!!!

amazing

Medeski is UNBELIEVABLE!

I remember first hearing this and knowing it'd be an instant classic (for this album).

Love this song. Sco and MMW and are magnificent as usual but Medeskis' robot whirling dervish at the 7:00 mark sends this to another level. How can anyone sit still during this..?

I saw them yesterday in Budapest. They seriously kicked ass.

That was awesome.

Best vid on youtube ever..

@fiveweelo everyone was probably so entranced with the music, all they could do is sit there in total awe

Even now...all I can do is sit here and nod in a funky fashion.... Under control of the huge monstrous GROOVE in the room!

Wow! Hofner Bass! I love the groovy sound of it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this clip! Insane, super hot playing from all four gentlemen. I saw the tour behind A Go Go, but with Larry Goldings, Bill Stewart, and a bassist who's name I sadly can't recall. It was mind blowing, but it's ultra-cool to hear Sco do this, live, with MMW, the album line-up. This is some high-altitude playing. By the way, I'm probably not the first one here to reveal this, but "Chank" is Jimmy Nolen, James Brown's guitarist. Peace!

I love watching videos of bands with this much talent...and especially reading the comments - no one talks shit, cause they can't! these guys rule! HAIL ALL MMSW FANS!

I marvel at the instruments: A 1950's Lesley organ,a 60's Hoffner bass and Scofields 81 Ibanez! Those Pearl drums are probably 60's too. *Medeski is dressed like a guy who works on a kids ice cream truck!

Medeski looks so young!!!!!! Wow!

What a great SOUND!

sublime madness

Crazy progressions!

helps me live another day

Very nice music, great groove

Amazing band

Thanks for posting! I looked for this band playing this tune a couple years ago on youtube, but all i could find was an Asian guy and band doing a cover (very good cover). I am preparing to record this tune, and need to figure out the drum part. One of if not my most fave-o-rite tune on this album. Thanks again

man that was funky!

"jazz you love" lol its right, this is really good. wish I knew other jazz guitarrists like Scofield. wish he would come to Portugal soon too :P

ait thanks man:)

To me this is THE essence of music!

"this one called TCHAINQUE"

sick video...thanks for the uppage

Where Im from we stand up for Great music, even while tunig up - Come on People !!!

I like the softness of the bass

If a magic wizard offered me a chance to be one of the Beatles or a member of MSMW, I might just pick being in the jam band. I can't imagine any music more fun to play live than this stuff. Though I wouldn't turn down the chance to be a Beatle--even George (Just kidding!). Also--MMW...such babies here! Almost 20 years ago...I remember buying A Go Go like it was yesterday.

I agree. In a band like the beatles, you are playing essentially the same concert; give or take a few 5 minute songs, every time you play live. You spend your time grinding it out in the studio and have to deal with all the b.s. that comes with fame. In a jam band you have the opportunity to create a brand new and unique piece of art every time you play and you are doing so in front of a receptive audience that encourages you to push the boundaries and experiement. You may not get validated by critics, other musicians or basically anyone outside of your fanbase but who needs a pat on the back when you are having this much fun?

Crispy drums!! OG Sco & mmw killing it as always.
