I Got Spirit

Nice live War track with Eric Burdon, circa 1971.

Need I remind everyone that this was the last band Jimi Hendrix jammed with before his demise? Damn you pills taking Jimi away from us.

Dayton’s On The Mothership

More classic Ohio funk for you, this time from Faze-O. Dayton & Cinci are really making their pitch as the home of funk and I like it. So many good funk bands and all kinds of killer players came out of those two towns. If you expand regionally to include places like Cleveland & Detroit you can develop a true sense for how important the upper midwest was to american music, particularly soul, rock and pop.

Live Ohio funk on prime-time TV? Watch the set turn into a huge party a few minutes in. Oh the seventies, oh the seventies...

Super Group Redux

Here's maybe the first super-super group, given that their bass player was in one of the worlds first super groups back in the 70's. Fear not rock is not dead!

Encore for The Infesticons: Mike Ladd & Juice Aleem do the get down...

Rare TV Funk

TV appearances by funk artists are usually stunted affairs of forced funk, easily mocked and pulled away from for commercial break. I had never seen this Sly performance from 1983, playing with Letterman's Paul Shaffer band. The tempo a bit fast in these 80's renditions but Sly is in good spirit and voice so it's all good.

Before Google There Was… Speech

Genre jumping again, I know. Check this funky little thang a few years back from an amazing band that played the music business blues in the nineties then dropped from the scene.
