That the bassist doesn't get more screen time is almost a criminal offence, just an unbelievable musician, one of the greatest basslines I can remember hearing.
A lot of people talk shite on Jay (largely (almost entirely, in fact) due to a 'that' paparazzi incident) but I met him back in the early 00s and he was so sound it's unreal. Literally just bumped into him outside a pub in MK and got talking about jazz and he took me for a ride in his car (a Jag - I'm a bike guy not a car guy so I couldn't tell you which) up the M1 to Northampton services, bought me a Wimpy, and sat on the curb chatting with me for close to an hour before dropping me back, wishing me well, and fucking off. This was either late 2002/early 2003, they were still HUGE in the UK at the time. I can't imagine many comparably big stars doing the same. Remarkably down to earth guy.
To think this guy can’t play an instrument yet he writes some wonderful songs. I’ve researched how he does it. He hums the melody to his band and instructs them what he wants to hear and builds the song up. Amazing and very talented
Both Stu Zender & Nick Fyffe have been amazing on the bass. The early music left more space to it before it was so disco-influenced. Nonetheless it's always a pleasure to hear them play.
+Sergio Valdez so true lad but that's the irony of the bass player (being one myself) no one pays attention but bass is one of the key elements in any song lel
+machoman Parry im a guitar player. have been for 9 years. over the last 2 years ive started appreciating more instruments. I know ill never have the talent for slap bass and its probably my favourite sound of any instrument. I envy them so much! So many great bass players. Ill learn someday but i dont have hitchhikers thumb :(
Few bands can deliver live what they can produce/edit in a studio, Jamiroquai are certainly in that bracket and even more better than their studio recordings - rare feat indeed imo.
@@renateholobek but he still moves. I saw him live twice, in 2010 he made the show with a broken leg. Last time, he had spinal surgery, but that didnt stopped him again
Real musicians real talent!! Damn Jamiroquai sounds ten times better live than in the cd, Jay rocks wow that bass guitar and drums are effing amazing!!'!
pop music works because its easy to listen to and people that don't understand music at all will be able to understand it because its in a pleasant key and the radios play it. but this is absolutely the next step up, it achieves everything you want from a pop song whilst also being complex, easy to dance to and interesting. Bands like this need to be played more. timeless.
I first saw their video for Space Cowboy in the early 90s and liked it. Didn't really start loving them until Virtual Insanity and then I was hooked after that. My cousin walked into my room while I was jamming out to Cosmic Girl and told me to stop listening to that gay music. Of course I did not lol
I love how these guys change up the arrangements on their songs quite often. It’s pure genius. It keeps their songs fresh. It’s boring to play the songs exactly the same way time after time.
yay! I was there. Verona the closest city from where I was living and Jamiroquai were touring. Remember the rain and Toby Smith's amazing keyboards talent. RIP legend.
Was that 20 years ago? I remember in the late 80's early 90's watching live recordings of Bob Marley, Jim Morrison and James Brown before I was born. And now the young people are watching this great concert because it is just as timeless.
Ohhhh. That’s why he could slide like that! I thought he had a conveyor belt thing on stage to mimic the Virtual Insanity video. Way cooler that it’s rain.
Freaking LEGEND. He is one of the best live artist ever. Very few people sound so flawless live consistently. And he's incredibly good now too, even if the years pass.
ENORME! monstrueux le bassiste! et le clavier! et le batteur! un metronome une précision du tempo! Et les autres? Percussions enomres! les chorsites WOAW! ce fut un regal ces concerts de JAMIROQUAI! et le chanteur alors? HUUUUMMM??? quelle pêche! quel feeling! J'adore JAMIROQUAI!
just saw him perform in chicago 2month ago. Awhhhhhhhh love him so much. His music speaking to my ears. Lol still listening and enjoying in 2018- classic Chicago love
I was a big fan since I was a teenager, but somehow I forgot about this fantastic band and now I am watching this eternal masterpiece!!! what a great singer, bassist, band, crowd, it's a cosmic energy🤩
My favorite Jamiroquai track from the start, with its funny references to scifi classics. Often listen to it on flights in Asia, but watching this live version is even more fun.
Best concert I've seen on RUclips. Why in the world wasn't the bassist seen as much as as the drummer, guitarist and keyboard player? He's conspicuous by his absence. Poor choice for otherwise good direction. He and the drummer are driving the band.
J'ai assisté au concert en 2002 donc a Vérone ....beaucoup beaucoup de pluie...mais finalement cela a été aussi la réussite et la spécificité du concert....le groupe en live est incroyable....Le 8 JUIN 2002 "me semble" ......j'ai toujours les tickets du concert ....c'est donc y'a ....'trop longtemps"
So much talent, so much energy, so much good vibes, they are amazing, they didn't care about the rain just cared about having a good time and make people have fun with their art.
Got my first jamiroquai album in 92 /93 when I was a school kid seen them live a few times over the years the man is a legend. And great taste in cars.

wallsy2010 actually Stuart wrote the bass line and played it in the original track this is Paul turner who replaced sender 98 onwards

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉
I get what you’re saying but when you look at the crowd you forget people loved shiny clothing 20 years ago.
It's 2024 now and this still is such an amazing song! I tell my wife that she's my cosmic girl because she really is.
the thing with good musician and performer like jamiroquai is they always sound better live than in record.
Amen. Just came here to post the very same comment.
It's not that they sound better live , is that you're feeding off their energy 🕺
That's real musical talent for you

You forget the keyboards
I thought the same about his voice !!!

Rickard Nilsson nope, but they show bass player just twice in the track. It is Nick Fyffe if I am correct

Couldn't agree more
Yeah there's great pop like this but most of it is shitpop.
Is that you Louie Walsh?
Yes!!!
Are you saying it's because I'm dumb that i hate free jazz ? 🤣
I can live with that 😉
Jamiroquai was underground in the US. There are many of us who loved this British soul. We didn't care if radio stations weren't playing it!
That always seemed a travesty to me. These guys have great music, yet the US never gave them the space and recognition they deserved.
