    Pretty sure the bonus DVD has a new beat in that scene cause paul simon wouldn't clear the mardi gras stuff. Btw, despite it being kinda wack they had to find a mardi gras sound alike for the scene, my peoples Illfonics did a good job with the impossible task of remaking one of the most iconic drumbreaks/scenes of all time....b,121b,121I havent seen the DVD to answer any of your other questions....

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Not unless it's a bootleg rip of the original VHS. The original version was never released on DVD. The original version is VHS only released by Pow Wow Productions. It was sold mail order only. Pow Wow productions used to run an ad in the classified ads section of "The Source" magazine in the first few issues. I got the original VHS at home and Flash is playing "Mardi Gras" in his kitchen.b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headz.gif" alt="" 21

    I got it too... the original mail order steeze with the dude doing a headspin on the cover... some dude from australia went to charlie ahern's house (the address listed in the source) and bought copies off him in the 90s!b,121b,121holla atchaboy chan...b,121b,121b

    Yep, still have that one and I'm glad I didn't replace it. Paul Simon is a fool, but then again the guys in Los Lobos know that too.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I was wondering that as well. I also still only have the Rhino edition and don't know whether or not to splash out for a new copy. b,121As for Flash's kitchen session: What did the UK Mr. Bongo Version show?b,121b,121Is this (original) ripped from VHS?: a href="" target="_blank"1 do you guys mention Paul Simon being the one vetoing the inclusion of Take Me To The Mardi Gras? He isn't the writer, is he? I thought he only performed the tune, but of course not the version that Flash is using (Bob James). Teach me, please.b,121b,121Another video question: Fairly early into Brasilintime DVD there is a chapter filmed in a Brazilian club showing J.Rocc cutting up the Incredible Bongo Band. I like what he is doing, especially with King Errisson's bongo solo.1Unfortunately, the narrator woman is talking over most of the scene explaining the origins and importance of "Apache". Is the pure music of1his performance available somewhere or has anyone else done a similar mix of1Apache?b,121b,121Bonus question: What is this guy talking about? a href="" target="_blank"1 "Incredible Bongo Band, Bongolia, the one that had Ringo Starr and probably George Harrison playing on it" img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wtf.gif" alt="" 21

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I watched the new Wildstyle dvd over the weekend, and i agree, the replacement of the Mardi Gras doubles scene was done VERY well, it sounds like he is doing doubles with the new track 100%. Well done to your peoples!
