There's so much sick playing on the King Crimson concert videos from the 80s.

Oh snap, you know who I just learned about? Jimmy Johnson! Played a lot with James Taylor, but may be best known as the guy who helped create the 5-string bass. You'd think James Taylor would be the wrong place for some bass virtuoso, but I guess he goes along with the likes of Nathan East as incredible dudes anchoring bland acts. Anyway, his credits range from Roger Waters to Alan Holdsworth.
