Summary: A lot of cool playing, but little instruction
Comment: In this video, there is a couple of really good pieces, like Portrait of Tracy, and some cool solos, but as for an instructional video, it's not so great. However, the booklet that comes with it has music to almost everything that he plays. The jam session at the end is pretty cool too.

Summary: For advanced players
Comment: I've been playing Bass since the early 70's and found this DVD a wealth of information. Learning the exercises has improved my playing tremendously. This is for advanced players only since he essentially shows you the exercises at full speed. A beginner would be completely lost I believe

Summary: A must have for serious electric bass players
Comment: Jaco is probably the best electric bass player that ever was. Many people have said this and I believe this to be true as well. His music is very moving and his bass playing has it all: groove, technique, musicality, etc.. If you play bass and/or are a fan of Jaco's, you should buy this product. While he was struggling w/ drug abuse and it's somewhat apparant in this video, you see what a musical genius this guy really was as you watch him talk and play. He seems like a super cool guy too. Even if he was out of his mind sometimes, you can tell that his sense of humor was great and that he was a nice guy with a serious passion for music. He was the real deal and a one of kind for sure. This is the best bass DVD I own and I own a lot of DVD's of instructional videos and concerts with great bass players. Everytime I go back to this video, I learn some new stuff for the electric bass. Do yourself a favor and buy this product if you play electric bass and want to improve.
