FUN FACT: Dean Town was actually written by Woody Goss, their keyboard player. Of course, he wrote it for Joe to play as a bass feature.

[weezer]

This title is false because Joe dart is always in beast mode.

[nunofernandes]

Joe Dart always hits the bullseye. How often do you get the audience to sing the bassline?

[joannalewis]

Everyone who is saying Joe Dart is nothing special should be watching tennis or something. It's not a sport and he is able to play very funky lines that speak to classic funk with great feel that makes audiences sing his baselines. And as for people saying Vulf are this and that, just stop. They're clearly great musicians and great people and give a lot of joy to the world

[alazrabed]

There was only one time Joe went full beast mode: from the beginning of times until the end of time.

[natskis]

Bass Faces. Pigeon necks and a whole bunch of funkiness!

[johnr]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who nose exhales really loudly while playing bass

[maxencelefebvrehauguel]

Me with my bass watching and playing with
Scott and his bass watching and playing with
Joe Dart and his bass.
Thanks Joe.

[barbecuingwithben]

Joe is one of the best bassists of his generation

[SahilMakhijani]

It's wild to think that John Patitucci was in the audience when they played Dean Town with Chris Thile

[ActionJotaPe]

The original version of "Daddy, He Got a Tesla" is my absolute favorite Joe Dart bass performance, he was truly on rare form on that song (also Sky Mall)

[karlhallin]

As a mediocre bassist it’s so nice to hear you not breathing normally whiles playing these riffs!

[The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Chris ‘Theel-e’, like theeley. Probably the world’s best living mandolin player. Learn him, love him, live him. Keep working those ghost notes, that’s a BIG part of Joe’s magic. Well, that and the Vulfcompressor...

[ronallen]

"That Chris guy..." (best mandolin player in the world) -LOL

[Kubunja]

Joe Dart is the bassist who inspired me a lot to keep improving my skills. Luv ya Joe.

[deckdumile]

What was the most amazing thing about this video was how Scott worked out the dean town line in 30 seconds. My jaw hit the floor.

[purpleclouds]

I've literally never clicked on a video so fast

[ArtinSinger]

Scott I’m happy that you found one of the most amazing bass men these days in the meanwhile and thank you very much for showing some insights into Joe‘s playing technique 😎🙏

[WCruttenden]

Chris Thile is an amazing musician. Worth investigating if you don't know him.

[andyrushton]

Scott: "I don't know this..."

30s later: "Let me show you how to play it!"

Nice work...
