i filmed it. I'm in it. I'm asking jaco the questions, when i could get him to sit still. I'm asking him about being in liberty city witch is the old black side of town in Miami, there were my riots there between blacks and white and Cuban police,some times whites would get off the wrong exit in liberty city and be killed after a riot, i was surprised jaco was in there but i shouldn't have been because any where there are black people he was there gleaning and learning.
Man. I got teary eyed just looking at him. Bi-polar (manic-depression) runs in my family and I KNOW what he's going through mentally. No one knew how to bring him back down.
Classic example of how silly people are. You treasure his playing and musical contributions but you don't accept him as a human with struggles and fears and insecurities. Never trust a perfect person.
+Zombbg4 its not silly, this is what drugs do to people, its embarrassing, its sad, everyone knows thats not the real him, i know for fact because this happened to a close women of mine
I don't know which is most tearful: seeing by chance a part of a VPRO interview to John Frusciante when he was out of the peppers or staring at this Jaco (and hearing him talking for the very first time)...However they both are great artists and nobody will ever replace them... I guess there's no better language than music... Jaco human legend!!!!!!!
I think that this is from sometime in '82.He says to the guy "...you're 29 I'm 30". He turned 30 at the end of '81 right about the time he was finishing up the Word Of Mouth album, which is why he's playing it throughout the interview. I think he brought those people that are there with him to hear it. The downing the beer and then holding it up to the fan, shows how wasted he was. There's also the phone call there he tells someone "don't go to the musicians tent, come to my house. So Weird!
this was filmed between Sept and Nov '82, right after Japan with the Big Band. the one out of control is the guy that interview Jaco, he just doesn't post questions, he put false statements then ask Jaco to answer like if he was guilty, this is insane!!! Not Jaco, write down any Jaco's word you'll not find any answer out of the context.
Couldn't agree more with Jaco. John McLaughlin couldn't swing if we was dead. The Trio of Doom was fatally undermined with its inclusion of McLaughlin on guitar. I heard also the dynamic was really bad between all of em on that project. So fuck yall that think Jaco was battling demons and didn't mean what he said. The man always spoke the truth, both musically and otherwise. He's just sayin it like it is. Deal with it.
Erm...John McGlaughlin could swing with the best of 'em. Otherwise he wouldn't be in such exalted company. Watch the film "Round Midnight" you dumb shit!
Poor babe. He's clearly high, he was bipolar and whoever filmed this needs to get rid. It's disrespectful. It's like watching a train wreck. The guy was a musical genius, and let's remember *that* Jaco, not this one.
He wasn't only human, he was mentally ill. I only wish he'd gotten the help he needed. Then again, I read that he had meds and had stopped taking them. There's only so much you can do for someone if they won't or can't take the help. It just makes me very sad. Such a waste of a life.
That isn't Word of Mouth in the background. Those are live recordings of his big band in Japan. They had just returned to the states from Japan and the recordings we are hearing on this video would eventually be released as the album, "Twins". The time frame is correct......sometime in 1982.
How the hell r these guys interviewing jaco saying they "played bass and did it all" and Jaco's a "young boy"!??!!! Jaco was the one with the all star career, and virtuosic abilities. These guys r to my knowledge anyway not anywhere near the same level as jaco!
Christ, i knew jaco had his demons but i never saw this side of him. Its sad but the music he left is his legacy man, never feels nice to know your idols are human i suppose.
just was unwell but i bet there was nobody who could play that bass like him, reat legacy and maybe he sacrificed everything to be a 'great' which can often come at huge cost even to personal health.
Well to me Jaco was one of the greatest jazz musicians who ever lived. He was incredible and I love his stuff so don't get me wrong when I say the next thing. I think was bad on drugs here and... not a comfortable person to be with (I believe) I think hew was very, very difficult as a human being. I love him though :D
yeah, i bet so, it is almost imposible for me to ignore jaco's condition, it seems that he was having a good time, wasn't he...? and, i think that you met him, is it true all the myths that the people say about him, that he became a junky and all of those thinks that the people use to say about "famous" people...?
If you're the guy asking the questions, then you must look back at this and be completely ashamed of your behaviour, because I would be. Jaco is clearly out of it, and anyone who's watched the whole video would see you attempting to manoeuvre him round to the camera to get your footage. I hope you didn't earn a penny from this, and for the sake of his family and his kids, you should have done the decent thing and destroyed it long ago.
@baddaboomb Your idol ישוע or Ἰησοῦς is also a goddamn human!!!!! I don't see bad morality in this video, he's just energetic like people with ADHD or Tourettes and Aspergers.
Go and look up the effects of bi polar disorder and related conditions, talk to sufferers and their families. Do some voluntary work on a mental health ward. Then , come back and write something worth fucking reading.
whats wrong with you man, show some respect, dont put this stuff on youtube, it does not need to be here. so what if you filmed it. sullying jacos name and legacy so you can get yourself a few more youtube hits.
i filmed it. I'm in it. I'm asking jaco the questions, when i could get him to sit still.

Even when Jaco was drunk or manic or whatever, he was still brilliant, funny, and he told the truth.

"some times whites would get off the wrong exit in liberty city and be killed after a riot"
Prove it.
Man. I got teary eyed just looking at him. Bi-polar (manic-depression) runs in my family and I KNOW what he's going through mentally. No one knew how to bring him back down.
WOW... i didn't picture his voice like that!! I've never heard him speak before.
Classic example of how silly people are. You treasure his playing and musical contributions but you don't accept him as a human with struggles and fears and insecurities. Never trust a perfect person.

mbarrassing are judgemental ppl...

Sarà sempre il migliore di sempre, sia musicalmente che umanamente ❤❤❤
where did you get this vid...?!
Gold!

Agree Jaco was keeping real and always kept it real he said what he had in mind and didn't bite his tongue doing it!
JM messed up that recording.
Erm...John McGlaughlin could swing with the best of 'em. Otherwise he wouldn't be in such exalted company. Watch the film "Round Midnight" you dumb shit!
thanks for replying, it must have been an experience, and how did you contact jaco then,
i mean, he must have been a busy musician ...?
I agree with you my friend.
@radiomix I loved that!!!
Great
Poor babe. He's clearly high, he was bipolar and whoever filmed this needs to get rid. It's disrespectful. It's like watching a train wreck. The guy was a musical genius, and let's remember *that* Jaco, not this one.
Spot on Yvette. With fiends like this who needs enemies?
He wasn't only human, he was mentally ill. I only wish he'd gotten the help he needed. Then again, I read that he had meds and had stopped taking them. There's only so much you can do for someone if they won't or can't take the help. It just makes me very sad. Such a waste of a life.
i agree with you on that.
John mclaughlin said somthing about his father???that doesnt sound like J.M.Does anybody no what jacos talkin bout??please tell me.thanx
What's the song at 1:30, Thank you
This is "Liberty City" !
That's Liberty City. I'd say the best version is on the Birthday Concert album
Jaco has never been better from his bipolar disorder. it's been so hard to find help for him since he had been drinking.
Yeah totally. This reminds me of Boogie Nights.
Dirk Diggler's earlier films are still rad.
Both pretty sad, at least John's still with us
That isn't Word of Mouth in the background. Those are live recordings of his big band in Japan. They had just returned to the states from Japan and the recordings we are hearing on this video would eventually be released as the album, "Twins". The time frame is correct......sometime in 1982.
Where there's a lot of light........ and there was a lot of light, man
i totally agree. please respect jaco's dignity. in a way it's great historical footage but ....
I don't think he's disrespecting him.
I think it's very important that we can see this side of Jaco on film.
Jaco said when he played Black nightclubs they would always slash his tires
Likewise.
I want to hear more about jacos father.
this is some wild ass shit!
Kinda the same vibe as the buddy rich cussing his band band tapes.
lol.
jp
Cant believe this is how Jaco was in real life... I guess he really was a punk jazzer(Weather Report - Punk Jazz)
Well this is a bad time in his life . I’m sure he wasn’t like this all the time dude
look at jaco part 7&8.
How the hell r these guys interviewing jaco saying they "played bass and did it all" and Jaco's a "young boy"!??!!! Jaco was the one with the all star career, and virtuosic abilities. These guys r to my knowledge anyway not anywhere near the same level as jaco!
jazzmanstore, please can you send a video with you from your toilets please ?
yeah jeff berlin is great-now i know where his sound and style came from-haha-wow,jaco was nonstop,yo
Christ, i knew jaco had his demons but i never saw this side of him. Its sad but the music he left is his legacy man, never feels nice to know your idols are human i suppose.
just was unwell but i bet there was nobody who could play that bass like him, reat legacy and maybe he sacrificed everything to be a 'great' which can often come at huge cost even to personal health.
im glade i can give your ego a boost, since you were never there. i will put some moore up for you to copy.
@gordonS2 yeah possible you can be true
he slappa da bass man
Jaco was seek, and very high on drugs...Jaco was ,his great, John Mclaughlin is also a giant musician, no way to hide this....
yes your right, he gave white bass players the green light to get Moore soul in their playing and stretch out a Little.
:45 LOL
Well to me Jaco was one of the greatest jazz musicians who ever lived. He was incredible and I love his stuff so don't get me wrong when I say the next thing. I think was bad on drugs here and... not a comfortable person to be with (I believe) I think hew was very, very difficult as a human being. I love him though :D
yeah, i bet so, it is almost imposible for me to ignore jaco's condition, it seems that he was having a good time, wasn't he...?
and, i think that you met him, is it true all the myths that the people say about him, that he became a junky and all of those thinks that the people use to say about "famous" people...?
John mclaughlin is not dead
0:34 John McLaughlin is baddd mother Xucker lol
No, he was mad at some people.
No it was not true.
there was no reasoning with him by this point.
hard to watch and hear
gta liberty city, thats the best game
If you're the guy asking the questions, then you must look back at this and be completely ashamed of your behaviour, because I would be.

that's the truth, seems to be lost on the guy who shot this, and a lot of the people commenting.
Exactly. Ignorance talks loudly but says nothing.
@baddaboomb Your idol ישוע or Ἰησοῦς is also a goddamn human!!!!! I don't see bad morality in this video, he's just energetic like people with ADHD or Tourettes and Aspergers.

Folks who ain’t from south Florida have no clue about liberty city…
Please take these videos off, if you repsect the legacy of Jaco Pastorius the bass player.
Bipolar
this isn't important footage haha its novelty at best
whats wrong with you man,
show some respect,
dont put this stuff on youtube, it does not need to be here.
so what if you filmed it.
sullying jacos name and legacy so you can get yourself a few more youtube hits.
spanish please
does it matter? they are both dead
John is alive and well bruh.
i filmed it. I'm in it. I'm asking jaco the questions, when i could get him to sit still.
