Scott Whitley performing Foundation & Empire with The Scott Whitley Quartet

Scott Whitley Quartet rendition of the Level 42 classic Foundation & Empire. This was only the 2nd time the band performed it after just one rehearsal so it's a little rough round the edges - but still great fun :-)

Featuring Roo Walker on Guitar, Scott Whitley on Farida FJB-6 Bass & Vocals, Christian Madden on Keys and Aron Bicskey on Drums.

What a band. Scott on bass and Roo on guitar.

[thewomble]

And this is why this man went on to play in Big Country!

[dazzaUK]

My fav L42 track too. And I love the live versions from 2001 and the early 80s. Very well played.Surely the basis for a new set of tutorials? Hint, hint. (Especially that tricky fingerstyle section at the end.)

[Edmouk]

Wow ! That sounds really great ! I love the sound of your bass too.

[fuzbassab]

This is a great performance, this tune is not easy to play at all..but with love and passion yes..!!!!

[ScottWhitley]

Yes I did. The controls are mini 3-way toggle pickup selector; master volume & stacked bass/treble. The preamp I installed is an EMG BTC Control :-)

[jameswhite]

Brilliant version of an awesome track. Nice work!!!! Was skeptical but totally converted.

[MatsEvensen]

Sounds very good to me, just for being the second time you perform it, we all have to start one time :) Great
interpretation of this song Scott

[laurentquintana]

[george]

Great rendition man ..you guys really know your shit!

[JezUK]

That was really nice - shame the footage doesn't show his great bass playing during the keyboard solos.

[ledboots]

Great stuff. It's a tough bass part to get right but you did a superb job.

[CatoMinor]

Mark King meets Ray Manzarek. Well done! ;)))

[JBass]
