Haven't heard the other version you referred to.
But there's something about the sound of the Miles Davis horn on a ballad (even at this advanced stage of his career) that's pretty much untouchable. tA  Tribal Disorder

Studio versions just can't hold a candle to any of the live versions of this tune. Ya need to cop those. Start with the Live in Munich video. test | |

well here's Tokyo http://www.youtube.com/wa...4AJ2Z-lhoM (87 I think)
and Montreal '85 http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related OK here's Munich http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related. That would be '88. Suggest you check 'em in order, so you see how Miles worked it into being his own vehicle. [Edited 2/29/08 19:55pm] test | |

I wanted to like it.
The Munich band seemed kind of disjointed, which intruded on the nice atmosphere they'd established. Miles' "wrong-notes-right" style works on some pieces but annoyed me on "Time After Time," each time. I wanted to like it.  [Edited 3/1/08 14:04pm] | |

Time after Time is a beautiful song..
who wrote it? "Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily"--BP | |

Cyndi Lauper co-wrote "Time after Time" with Rob Hyman of The Hooters | |

Miles' "wrong-notes-right" style works on some pieces but annoyed me on "Time After Time," each time. Sounds like they're playing counter-points to the harmony as Miles builds his solo back into the main melody. Whereas the earlier versions started with the melody, before deconstructing it in his solo. [Edited 3/1/08 18:24pm] test | |

When I saw Miles in the late 80s, he was the bass player and Foley was also in that band. tA Tribal Disorder

Here's the Patti Labelle and Cyndi Lauper version. It's a spine tingler, this one. Don't say you haven't been warned.

The Patti Labelle and Cyndi Lauper version is my favorite version. It is a testament of their very close friendship. They took the lyrics to a different level.

When I saw Miles in the late 80s, he was the bass player and Foley was also in that band. tA This was a double e-bass concept. Foley played "lead bass" having tunings like unto a guitar, while Benny took on the typical rhythmic bass duties. During this time there wasn't a formal guitar role.
Foley on "lead bass" http://thelastmiles.com/i...-foley.php TLM: Got to talk about the lead bass. In 1991, Stanley Clarke told you that you’d taken the bass as far as it could go – have there been any developments since then?
Foley: Do you mean has anyone taken it even further than I? I haven't heard them, if they did. but, it's been 20yrs. now.....so, I guess that's about as far as it could go? Bassists had Love for me & a lot of Guitarists didn't. I know it was because I was getting dangerously close to sounding like a guitarist ? Or that THEY wanted to be sitting where I WAS ?? Miles knew WHO & WHAT he wanted out there with him, man! He didn't want somebody out there throwing "Be-Bop" lick # 45 thru #400 at him?!? Miles heard ALL of that Shit, already!! I know He preferred to have heard me fumbling around with my "OWN" notes ....honestly than to try to recite some shit back at him incorrectly?!?! With No Feel..... I didn't know ANYthing when Miles asked me to join him. I had literally just started playing music, period. And, it was ruff man. I'm not madd at folks who didn't like my contribution to the band at the time...shit I was concerned, too! BUT, I DID start to catch on & before it was over? I was getting in Guitar players asses.....Then I got even MORE haters! Hahaha! Folks don't know that I'M A BASS PLAYER!!! (First & Foremost) The "Lead Bass" is an extension of my Bass shit. So, TRUST..... Motherfuckas didn't want me on BASS back then.... or Miles would've had ONE bassplayer the entire time I was there. TLM: For the bass freaks who like to know all about the technology, can you describe your equipment – bass, strings, amps, effects etc? Foley: I'm sooooo not this Guy .....I use a Fender Jazz (73) And, my "Lead Basses" are customized & created by me. Running thru a Huge Amplifier. That’s basically it. I don't wanna sound like a prick about this kinda thing.... But, a persons "SOUND" is in their Hands.....NOT their GEAR!! TLM: You once said “lead bass is more about a state of mind” Explain! Foley: Well..."Physically" I'm playing a piccolo bass in theory.... But, "Lead Bass" actually lies in my "Mind" My phrasing etc. otherwise I'd sound like I was playing a piccolo bass instead of a guitar. I’m completely thinking: "LEAD INSTRUMENT" when I play my Lead Bass. Be it: Sax or Guitar lines, etc etc [Edited 3/2/08 9:03am] test | |

Foley on "lead bass" http://thelastmiles.com/i...-foley.php A wealth of Foley-ness
OK, so I just had a full out  moment, when it all came together for me that this was the same Fishbone cat.
And it also was dude who ripped that wonderful solo in Mint Condition's "So Fine." (thank God for wikipedia)
goodness gracious!!! | |

Foley filled in for both Fish and Wood in 93 a few times during Lollapalooza and apparently in Europe too (at least on the barcelona 93 video). Foley was then playing with Arrested Development.

I always wondered what it meant by 'lead bass' in the credits. To me, he was just playing a 4 string electric. Foley is definately a cool cat! and on that note, I love way Miles always hired interesting characters. It's like he was looking for an 'attitude' moreso than 'musical chops'. All of his band members had their own distinct character that added to the respective groups. It's one aspect that sometimes I wish Prince would adopt, instead of constantly hiring professional, yet often somewhat bland, bandmembers.
