I saw him live years ago on the "Stanley Clarke and Friends" tour (with Billy Cobham on drums) and it ranks among my favorite live shows. He is truly amazing to watch. And Cobham ain't to shabby either.

i saw him with, erm, animal logic in 1989 (!!!! fuck i feel old)... some drummer dude was quite good.
the man has certainly got some chops and is great in front of a small crowd, just plays to the audience.

I saw him last year in the DC area. Very enjoyable.

I had wnated to see him with Animal Logic but wasn't able to.
