batmon said:I dont remember this shit...is there live music? Yes. I don't know who is represented on this DVD (if at all), but there were musical guests, usually leaning towards punk/new wave acts like Devo, the Plasmatics and the Clash.

As an aside, I always thought Eddie looked just a little too bourgie wearing a tuxedo in that original cover shot... He should have rocked something more casual, ala Gil Scott-Heron.

LaserWolf said:The idea of hearing Rotary Connection live was intriguing so I tried youtube. Could only find lip synced tv shows. I think we're lucky to have THAT. Even though (in the clip I've seen), Minnie Riperton is lipsynching to …

batmon said:Did Holland Doz Holland beat him to the punch w/ Reflections and maybe Frank Wilson w/ Love Child? Or are those joints more Pop Psych Soul like 5th Dimension vs more Funk/Sly-esque oriented? Norman Whitfield dug deeper than …

I'm guessing that Whitfield's psych-funk years commenced with "Cloud Nine." When Sly & the Family Stone had their first hit with "Dance To The Music," Otis Williams from the Tempts predicted to Whitfield that this psych-soul business migh…

Okay, this is a wildcard, but it's coming to mind:

The audience on Richard Pryor's Here & Now acts like Richard paid to see them. Honestly, I've noticed that more on comedy records. Most live recordings I've heard have the crowd response in the right places. Gene Chandler's "Rainbow '65" …

I've been getting into electric-era Eddie Harris a lot lately. His sixties albums aren't bad, but after he started "plugging in," his records took on a whole new resonance. Bought over the past week: Come On Down! and E.H. In The U.K.

My old beater Chevy stalled on me one Chicago winter, and I've been hoofing it ever since. I've taken taxis and rented cars when I've had to, but for the most part I've gotten around with no trouble. Chitown is an easy city to do that in. I …
