Inspired by the first video below, here is a short list of songs in which I’d like to have played bass guitar, on stage with these artists (and no, I was never as good as the featured bassists, but so what):

The Confessor (Dave The Bass Player, Joe Walsh)
Sometime World (Martin Turner, Wishbone Ash)
Sledgehammer (Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)
Every time I hear the bass on these songs, I get an attack of the If Onlies…

Jimi’s old bassist has a go at the psychedelics. And another one, just for the hell of it.
