Stretched Out and Shining
Here's a rare track from US TV, circa late 80's, with Bootsy and The Rubber Band destroying some late night. Turn this up and get your party started:

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.
Tighten Up Your Stroke
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!
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.
The Ballade of Nikka and Prince
Nice live performance of Nikka's jam with a special guest on guitar...
Not In Kansas Anymore

Loved these dudes -- quiet acoustic hip-hop about beer and woman problems. How did this not catch on?
Base not bass, haha.
