Just listened to Herbie Hancock's 1980 album Mr. Hands and holy shit, Freddie Washington's opening bass line in "Just Around the Corner" is easily one of the nastiest I've heard in my entire life

I found a version of "King Kong" that contains the same vamp as the middle section of "Pound for a Brown Solos (1978)" off of YCDTOSA4 and I absolutely love it. Anyone else know anyplace else this vamp shows up?

It's the vamp that's around 2:14ish to 4:20ish on "Pound for a Brown Solos (1978)" from You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 4, which was taken from the October 27, 1978 late show.

I recently heard it again on this version of "King Kong" from the March 26, 1979 show, from about 1:30:57ish to 1:32:40ish (insane solo from Frank to finish this version off, btw).

I haven't heard this vamp anywhere else but it kicks ass so I'd like to hear it more. Does anyone else happen to know where it has popped up, or know anything more about it? I just finished listening to all the shows with Vinnie from 1978-1980, and I could easily have missed it, but I don't recall hearing it any other times.
