Here is the other video of Jaco from the Live Under the Sky concert in 1984 (with the Gil Evans Orchestra). The music is of course amazing, but it's a little depressing to see Jaco play in the condition he was in. I'm sharing this video to all you Jaco fans out there.

Here's a rare video of Jaco and Jeff Berlin at MI in 1985. The bass Jaco used was lent by Greg Wilson, a student there at the time. According to Greg, Jaco showed up for the performance without a bass... and the rest is history.
